Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 17, 2011•From Vancouver, WA

I had a great experience with John Wayland Harr. He was very diligent and timely in responding to e-mails and every interaction was clear. He offered a wide variety of music for my wedding ceremony and was extremely professional...as well as very talented! I highly recommend John Wayland Harr!

John was on time, ready to play, even though we were late. Very professional and easy going and played beautifully. I had a lot riding on John as I was trying to make a good first impression for a first date, and he didn't let me down. Thanks John!

John did a wonderful job playing at our wedding - the music was the perfect accompaniment to our cocktail hour, ceremony, and dinner! I was so busy with everything going on at the wedding that I hardly got a chance to talk with him, but he handled everything exactly as we had discussed via email ahead of time! Which was another thing I really appreciated, John was always extremely responsive to my emails - typically I would hear back from him within a few hours which was great for my peace of mind! He was incredibly accomodating to my last minute changes to our wedding songs and was just a wonderful addition to our wedding! I would certainly hire John again!

John Wayland Harr played for our wedding ceremony and reception. He learned our song especially for our ceremony and played it beautifully. We left the playlist for the reception up to his discretion and he chose a great selection of music with no pauses throughout the night. He was also willing to make a few small announcements for us, which we greatly appreciated. We were very impressed with his talent and performance and would highly recommend him for any event. Thank you so much, John!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on September 30, 2013•From Portland, OR

This was a Birthday party for my wife- so it was important to me. John helped me determine the music style I wanted, sent a demo-tape of his skill with that style, got their early to set up and be ready on time and performed perfectly- I would absolutely recommend him and will use him again for sure. The perfect professional!!! All my guests complimented me on having found the right guy! Thanks John

John played for our daughters wedding and was perfect for the occasion. He was asked to learn some special songs that she picked for the processional and he was very accommodating. Everyone commented on the special touch he added to the event.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 5, 2013•From Bellevue, WA

John did a great job at our son's wedding. GigMasters made it easy to find a quality musician for the wedding even though the wedding was in Seattle and we live in Indiana. John's music and tone complimented the outdoor wedding beautifully. John was there early and made sure everything was set in plenty of time. We are very satisfied!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 9, 2013•From Portland, OR

I could not have been happier with John. He was perfect and very flexible. There were some last minute add-ons during the ceremony that I forgot to tell him about and he went with it and reacted exactly right. His experience and skill as a musician were very apparent, I felt totally comfortable trusting him and just told him to play whatever he felt like playing, with very little direction he was easily able to accommodate. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 5, 2013•From Portland, OR

John was very responsive and easy to communicate with about our event. He thought of everything, was prepared and professional. John really had great instincts and knew how to read the room and adjust to what was happening at our party. He was the perfect addition and it would not have been the beautiful celebration it was, without his talents!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 15, 2013•From Woodinville, WA

We were lucky enough to have John Wayland Harr play at our wedding in Woodinville, and we really couldn't say enough great things about him. He was very professional, and his music was so lovely. It really was the perfect touch for our ceremony. Our guests really enjoyed the music as well. Thank you John, you are awesome!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 27, 2012•From Ashford, WA

Talented, professional, accomodating! He handled the music list beautifully on the day of the wedding with no rehearsal because we were having a destination wedding in WA. He told us in advance he would play any requested special songs but in the end we didn't come up with one in all the frenzy. His music was so beautiful and special, in the end we almost gave no parameters but after hearing his music on his site we were so confident it would be perfect. His timing was impeccable and I want to add he played in the forest, with no amp, holding an umbrella in his shirt pocket in the cold--very beautifully and professionally. Our guests raved. Thanks John for your music

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 7, 2014•From Washougal, WA

John is a fine musician. Equally importantly as a contractor, he accommodates requests (like a particular mode of dress for our party) easily, is deferential, and communicates well. Good man.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 13, 2014•From Bend, OR

John was absolutely amazing! he played for us at a small birthday party and had picked the perfect songs. My Husband, the birthday boy, was so incredible humbled by having such a talented guitarist play for him/us. We all enjoyed John's music and hope some day to be able to ask him back. Thank you John for a special, wonderful, and meaningful evening. -Lene

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 10, 2014•From Woodinville, WA

John was absolutely fantastic! Everyone else I talked to charged an arm and a leg for custom arrangements, and really didn't understand the style I was going for John was a complete pro - learning the songs in exactly the style I was hoping for (it was seriously magical when I could hear him start to play the opening chords that I was going to walk down the aisle to. Simply perfect) :) He responded quickly to every email, worked with my officiant, and even drove all the way from OR to the Seattle area. Let me save you time searching around for a solo guitarist to trust with your wedding...go with John, and you can relax knowing that you're in good hands.
