Austin was a dream to work with - his kindness and generosity was beyond appreciative during our planning process! Austin was able to take on learning a special request to play during our wedding ceremony. Austin also played during our cocktail hour and was a hit with the guests!! Having Austin play as guests entered the ceremony, for the ceremony and for cocktail hour true gave our wedding an elevated feel and made our special day truly feel magical! thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Austin was hands-down the best vendor to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly professional, responsive, and organized, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout the planning process. He took the time to meet with us whenever we needed and offered thoughtful guidance and suggestions for our song selections, which made everything feel personal and would reassure any nervous wedding planning anxieties.

He played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, and everything went off flawlessly. He got everything ready to go without needing or asking anything of us. We used his microphones and amplifiers, and the sound quality was outstanding. His presence and performance truly elevated the entire atmosphere. I’d hire him ten times over. He’s that special wow factor that helped make our wedding feel truly magical

Austin was absolutely amazing! We hired him about a month out from the wedding after our previous guitarist cancelled on us. Despite how last-minute it was, he dove in head-first, learning the music we needed him to learn, accommodating our requests, and being flexible with our questions and changes. The music itself was played so beautifully (it brought my now-husband who never cries to tears!!) and perfectly, it felt like we hired him a year out as opposed to only a month. Thank you, Austin, for stepping in when we needed you and helping make our ceremony that much more special!

Austin did an amazing job playing guitar at our wedding! He is a talented, experienced musician. The quality of his guitar playing is top notch. Working with him to prepare was fun, felt natural and was easy; Austin is friendly and knowledgeable, always listening carefully to our needs but also contributing wonderful ideas and suggestions when it came to the music at our wedding. Austin and his assistant also provided audio for played music and microphones at various times throughout the wedding day. We wholeheartedly recommend Austin for guitar playing, music and audio.

We were so fortunate to have Austin play at my husband’s surprise birthday event in NYC. His music was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Austin’s such a pleasure to work with … thoughtful, helpful and insightful. He went over and beyond to make the event extra special and memorable. I would be thrilled to have him again.

Austin was such an incredible addition to our wedding by providing beautiful ceremony music! Austin took the time to work with us to learn our style, tastes, and overall vibe for the wedding, and even learned two songs that were of emotional significance to us. We are so lucky to have had Austin be a part of our special day!

We were lucky to have Austin perform at our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was organized, helped us pick out the music for our ceremony, and his timing was perfect. We were very nervous heading into the ceremony, but his playing helped set the perfect mood, and everything felt just right after that. I would recommend Austin to anyone.

Austin played guitar for a retirement dinner for my brother at the Vassar College Alumnae House in Poughkeepsie, New York. He is an unbelievably talented guitarist and did a beautiful job. His presence is what made the event truly spectacular. He is a very modest person who was incredibly easy to work with. Our friends and family are so grateful he could be part of the event. A true acoustic guitar genius.

Austin was absolutely wonderful to work with! From the very beginning, he was communicative, collaborative, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, he played beautifully during both our cocktail hour and ceremony, creating such a warm and elegant atmosphere.

He is exceptionally talented, professional, and even accommodated a few unexpected hiccups with ease, helping everything flow seamlessly. We received so many compliments from our guests about the live music.

If you’re considering having a guitarist for your wedding or special event, I cannot recommend Austin enough. Live music was such a special touch that made our day even more memorable, and we are so grateful we chose him.

Austin is such a talented guitarist and really elevated cocktail hour at our wedding this month! He delighted out guests with great bossa nova and latin jazz interpretations and was an absolute professional from beginning to end! Please consider hiring him for your event, his music will help create the most lovely atmosphere for you and your guests.

Austin is an amazing musician. If you are having a classy event with nice background music playing while your guests eat, look no further than Austin Charnis. My fiancé and I recently hired him for our engagement party. Everybody commented and said he provided the perfect touch to such a beautiful event. I will definitely keep him in mind for my future events.

Austin also arrived on time and was never in the way with his set up. I rarely give musicians 5 stars because let's face it, music is very subjective but I must give credit where credit is due and he is both excellent at guitar playing and professional.

Austin played guitar for both our wedding ceremony and reception, and he was absolutely phenomenal! Even during a very busy planning period, Austin was super responsive on emails and handled all of our requests with ease. He was more than willing to learn every specific song we asked for and executed them beautifully. His music set the perfect mood all day. Highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for a top-tier musician!

Austin is a talented musician with an extensive repertoire. He was incredibly helpful and insightful during the song selection process for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Most importantly he arrived early and was extremely professional throughout. He received rave reviews from all our guests.
