The Surrey Wedding Guitarist - Wedding Guitarist Feedback

“Thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding. From your first email we knew we were in safe hands. Thank you for your patience with us as we worked out our ceremony music. Of course it’s normal that guests are complimentary about everything on a wedding day, but everyone enthused about you, the music and what a magical atmosphere it created. People are still talking about you and we have already had a request for your details regarding a wedding next year. It has made such a memorable contribution to our wedding day. We wish you much good luck and success in the future and we hope that our wedding will not have been the last time we hear you play. ”

Jon & Vicky, Fittleworth Barn, West Sussex, Wedding (December 2021)

“Thank you so much. We left the choice of music completely up to you and yet we could not fault it, let alone improved it. It was the ideal music for our small intimate wedding and it enhanced the atmosphere so much. We had a perfect day, thank you. ”

Linda & Ron, Farnham Castle, Surrey, Wedding (July, 2021)

“When we first heard the music that we wanted in our ceremony it gave us both butterflies. The sound from the 10-string guitar was so delicate and beautiful. When I walked into the room the music was so romantic and was just magical. A perfect level of sound to enhance the occasion. Lots of people commented on how wonderful the music was. We watched our ceremony again recently and it's so lovely to hear the atmosphere. It really made a difference compared to recorded music. I like the fact we tailored the music to suit our ceremony and to make our day so special. I would highly recommend him. ”

Jo & Darren, Goodwood, West Sussex, Wedding (July 2021)

“Having you as our guitarist was wonderful. We met beforehand so that everything was individually tailored to our tastes. The ceremonial music was beautiful and timed to the service which took away a lot of worry on the day and the mix of Spanish, classical and contemporary repertoire created a warm ambience which we felt made the occasion even more unique and special. We would definitely highly recommend him. ”

Holly & Abs, Loseley House, Surrey, Wedding (June 2022)

“WOW. What can I say! Absolutely beautiful! From start to finish he was very professional, so easy to communicate with, on time and was very well presented. Unfortunately I didn't get to sit and listen as my wife & I were being rushed around to have pictures, positive feedback from all of our guests! I would recommend to anyone! Thanks a million Jim. ”
