Review by Dave J.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 10, 2014•From Waukesha, WI

My new wife and I couldn't be happier with Neil. A significant number of our wedding guests commented on the excellence of our ceremony music. Neil's professionalism is beyond measure. He communicated with us in a timely manner and even gave us some well needed advice. I highly recommend him for any engagement and will gladly hire him again.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 1, 2014•From Nashotah, WI

Neil was a true professional. Not only did he play flawlessly and beautifully at our wedding and reception, but he even learned a new song just for the communion part of our ceremony. As friendly as he is talented, I'd recommend Neil Dixon Smith to anyone for any occasion. Thank so much, Neil. You were a wonderful part of our special day! Kimmy & David

Neil was awesome! He arrived very early and was very self-sufficient in finding where he needed to be. He was a pleasure to work with, and the music was lovely. Neil's enthusiastic music was the perfect start to a day of conference meeting. I would definitely recommend him.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 7, 2014•From Chicago, IL

My company booked Neil Dixon Smith for a corporate event which had a Latin American theme. He was very professional and had a great demeanor. More importantly, his guitar playing was excellent. Neil played a variety of Latin American music including South American tunes, which was perfect for our event. I would highly recommend him.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 23, 2013•From Morton Grove, IL

Neil was very pleasant and a great addition to our event. He has amazing talent. The music throughout the evening was both fun as well as relaxing with just the right balance. A little much on the amp for the older guests but still completely enjoyable. I was very happy with the performance.

Private Party•Reviewed on August 18, 2013•From Park Ridge, IL

Neil truly was the life of the party. We hosted an outdoor wine / garden party with a South American theme - Neil was an ideal addition to the event and every single person (30) commented on what a great addition he was to the party. Easy to work with and great follow up skills. Would highly recommend Neil for any event you might be thinking about hosting. We will use Neil again at our next event!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 26, 2012•From Saugatuck, MI

In looking for what type of music to have at our recent wedding, we wanted to incorporate some live music that matched our wedding atmosphere...something beautiful, festive and understated. Neil's skills on the guitar was perfect for our chapel wedding ceremony. He played songs both within his repertoire and some of our choices that he learned just for our wedding. Neil's music & the mood continued throughout our pre-dinner cocktail hour and then dinner, including many Latin themed songs. Our experience with Neil was incredible. He was extremely professional and met with us in person prior to the wedding to get to know us and our tastes. We highly recommend him!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 7, 2012•From Chicago, IL

Neil was great. He learned songs for us for our ceremony & played his own selection of music for the reception. He met with us before our event and arrived early to take part in a walk through. We received many compliments on his playing from our guests. During the reception we noticed that he did a great job of adjusting his music selections to really fit the changing atmosphere of the room. We cannot thank him enough for helping make our wedding a success.

Neil was amazing! He did an incredible job and I heard great things from all of our guests. Meanwhile, he was great to work with and extremely open to accomodating our individual requests, while providing his professional opinion/expertise. I would definitely book him again if the opportunity/event came up.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 9, 2012•From Olympia Fields, IL

We were delighted with Neil's presentation, selection, and willingness to work with us. We would highly recommend him and his playing to anyone looking for a great classical guitarist. Time flew by too quickly. His fee was reasonable, he worked with our time frame and seemed to bend over backwards to be as accommodating as possible. We loved him and his playing. Thank you for your part in directing us to him.
