Review Centre: Classical Guitarists

"Shane Joseph agreed to perform in my online music festival and he was brilliant. His guitar skills are honed and he has a wonderful and calm manner. His playing soothed me and I was able to relax and soak in the wonderful music. I have invited him back and look forward to next time."

"Hi Alan, We would just like to say from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for coming to play at our wedding, it was everything we wanted! We kept it as a surprise from all of our guests and everyone was saying how amazing you were and what a difference it made to the day. I also would like to say a personal thank you for learning my aisle song a few weeks before the wedding after changing my mind last minute! It was such a nice touch on the day and I will recommend you to anyone who is looking for a musician! Alan was an absolute star both on our wedding day and in the whole lead up! He set the most beautiful atmosphere, and the whole time he played we kept being told what a fantastic guitarist we'd chosen. He nailed the emotions throughout the ceremony. He was always incredibly professional and polite, responding so quickly to any inquiries, and kindly prompting us when we needed to send him song details amidst the hectic wedding planning. We couldn't recommend him enough!" Ropita & Sam "

"We found Stephan Kane through an internet search for wedding musicians. We wanted a solo guitarist to play classical music while guests were arriving, to provide the processional and recessional music for the ceremony, and to play more contemporary pieces during the cocktail hour. Stephan more than lived up to our expectations. He met with us over Zoom some weeks before the wedding, and was extremely helpful in explaining what he offers and in assisting us in compiling our list of pieces. His playing was simply beautiful -- he created the perfect ambiance, and many of the guests complimented his musicianship. His playing brought tears to my eyes as I walked down the aisle. His rates are very competitive, and he even adapted a favorite song of ours, at no extra charge, to play during the recessional. His demeanor is professional and friendly, and he looked like he was having a great time playing for us. We would use him again in a heartbeat. "

"Emanuele played both during the ceremony and during the aperitif and it was a very good choice. He is a very good musician with great competence, a kind and thoughtful guy. Emanuele played some songs that we had asked for during the ceremony and we trusted him to choose others. He is very competent. During the ceremony the chill out he provided with his guitar was very pleasant! Music that doesn't disturb anyone but creates the right relaxed atmosphere. We would choose Him again."

"Pablo played at my son’s wedding 2 years ago and was magnificent. Yesterday 14/06/24 my wife surprised me on my 60th birthday meal in Nerja by having Pablo play for us during the meal. He is such a lovely young man and extremely talented, in fact he reduced me to tears. He played well over the allotted time and made my special night perfect. Please book Pablo for your private events and weddings."

"We can't thank Roger enough for playing at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Grantley Hall. Our guests commented on how beautifully he played. Roger was extremely accommodating in the run up to our wedding and he took the time to learn some of our favourite songs to play on the day. We would highly recommend Roger, he is a very talented musician and we felt very lucky to have him play at our wedding. Thank you once again Roger. Best Wishes , Catherine & Julian."

"Peter Duncan is an excellent acoustic guitarist, with years of performing and teaching experience under his belt. He always interprets a tune with respect and originality, bringing out its emotional message in the way that he plays. He is a very versatile musician and a gifted composer of original tunes which have an immediate appeal for audiences. I would highly recommend Peter as a sensitive solo or duo artist, and his larger funk-inspired line-ups provide the backdrop for a great night out. "

"We used Stephan as the ceremony and cocktail hour musician at our wedding in September 2019. Our wedding venue didn't allow any outdoor amplified music, so we needed to find a musician to play at our wedding. I looked at various violinists, harpists, and guitarists, but once I heard Stephan's music, I knew I wanted him at our wedding. He was professional, quick to respond to emails, and his pricing was very reasonable. He worked with the amplified noise restriction and his music ended up being a wonderful addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour. You won't be disappointed if you pick Stephan for your wedding music!"

"Hidè Takemoto as a highly regarded guitarist and teacher in the Barnet community was well known to us. He kindly agreed to perform at a private event, our wedding in May 2017. We trusted him to decide upon the playlist: some familiar classics as well as his own pieces; he provided the personal touch and produced a classical interpretation of one of the Smiths songs “This Charming Man” specially for the groom! It was a classical performance which is what we wanted and the guests enjoyed the live performance. We do know Hidè can add the pizazz, rock n roll, Jimi Hendrix tricks should it be requested- a great guitarist and performer- highly recommended."

"Mark was very professional and talented at our wedding outside of Granada. His song list is extensive and he also is willing to learn any special requests for songs. My husband and I both highly recommend his talents for any special event needing acoustic guitar!! "

"Billy played at our wedding on the weekend and was absolutely amazing. His music is beautiful and adds a great atmosphere and he was so calm and flexible on the day which made everyone feel so at ease with any changes in plan. Billy learnt the news songs that we asked him to and arrived at the venue way earlier than required to set up and to practise with the singer - he really went above and beyond. We appreciated his work massively and couldn’t recommend him more! "

"We recently held a small, intimate destination wedding, and choosing Patrik to be part of our big day was one of the best decisions we made. We were initially drawn to him for his talent on the guitar and his incredible musical range - he can truly play anything, and he does it with style, heart, and skill. From the beginning, Patrik was warm, enthusiastic, and incredibly professional. Throughout the planning process, he was responsive, approachable, and genuinely excited about being part of our celebration. It made working with him an absolute breeze. On the wedding day, the music was nothing short of incredible. My partner and I had chosen two special songs for key moments - one of which isn’t typically performed acoustically, so we weren’t quite sure how it would translate. But the version that Patrik and vocalist Sarah composed was stunning. As soon as they began playing, I could feel the tears welling up. It was beautiful, emotional, and captured exactly what we had hoped for. Patrik also played during our cocktail hour and dinner, and the vibes were strong. The song selection, paired with his sheer talent, created such a fun and joyful atmosphere. It wasn’t long before everyone was singing, dancing, and completely immersed in the celebration. I honestly can't rave about Patrik enough. His talent and energy are a solid 15/10. If flying him back to Australia for every future celebration was an option, we’d do it in a heartbeat! Patrik truly elevated our event. He helped create unforgettable moments and added so much heart to the day. We’re so grateful to him and Sarah for making our wedding day even more magical. Thank you!! "
