Anniversary Party•Reviewed on January 31, 2023•From La Jolla, CA
It was such a pleasure communicating with Mr. Benedetti for my party. He was very professional and accommodating. He arrived early to set up and promptly started playing beautiful music on time. He had a wonderful smile while playing, you could tell he loved playing his guitar. Several people complimented me for choosing him. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to listen to beautiful guitar music at their event, I would hire him again. BTW before I hired him, I was curious to see if he was on YouTube, he is, watch him, I'm sure you'll be pleased.

Thank you so much Tomi! It was my pleasure to provide music for your anniversary party, Congratulations again!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on January 1, 2023•From San Diego, CA
Fred was a true professional, in every sense of a performer while at our wedding reception. He was communicative from the early planning stages, flexible with the changing venue plans, was extremely courteous throughout, and most importantly his music sounded incredible during our reception! I had friends and family commenting how great the guitar was! I would absolutely hire Fred again for another event. He is a pleasure to work with.

Thank you Justin! It was a pleasure to play for your wedding reception. It was a beautiful setting as well! Fred

Community Event•Reviewed on December 12, 2022•From San Diego, CA
I hired Fred Benedetti for a community concert and was an excellent experience. The repertoire was appropriate for the audience with some standards from the classical repertoire, some original compositions, and a few arrangements of popular melodies. Fred was a pleasure to work with with excellent communication in the planning stages and he arrived on time and ready to go on the concert day. Fred is one of the finest guitarists in San Diego and his knowledge, talent and love of music was felt by everyone in the room. Highly recommended!
:
Thank you Gary! It was an absolute pleasure to perform for your concert series!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 3, 2021•From Palm Springs, CA
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Fred!
I was so honoured in the first place that he would have been excited to play at our intimate family dinner, because his talent is so extraordinary, he should be busy playing packed out shows every night!
His communication with me from the moment we confirmed the booking was A+ . Such quick responses, making me feel completely at ease about everything we were planning in the lead up to the event. He arrived early to the site, looked smart, sounded amazing, and the whole family loved his performance while they ate dinner together. It was all the perfect combination. Thank you so much for everything Fred!
:
Thank you so much Carley!! Let me say that you were A+ from the very beginning with your communication and follow through. A great experience for me as well!

If I could give 6 stars across the board, I would! Fred was outstanding. The perfect touch of warmth and congeniality for our corporate reception. He was so easy to work with, his music was delightful, and he is just a friendly, kind guy! 10 out of 10 would work with Fred again.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 14, 2019•From Carlsbad, CA
If you truly want a world-class performer for your event, look no further than Fred. He made my parents' 50th anniversary party something EXTRA special. He was 100% accommodating to any special requests, even playing "Never My Love" for my parents to have a special dance, and the theme song from "Chico and the Man" as a special dedication and inside joke for my husband. His playing had everyone mesmerized. He's just an all-around humble, down-to-earth, great guy! By the end of his 3 hrs w/us, he felt like a part of our family and I was actually quite sad to have his performance end. Thanks for being so awesome, Fred. Hope to catch another performance soon! Best, Lisa

Fred was amazing! We really wanted to find a professional ukulele player for our wedding ceremony and Fred was the perfect match. He was so friendly from the outset and answered all of our questions. He even played two songs we requested specifically for our procession! I cannot get over his talent and professionalism. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t record him playing during the ceremony! I’d highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Fred!

Thank you Jenna! I was very happy to be a part of your wonderful wedding!

Wedding•Reviewed on December 23, 2018•From Escondido, CA
We were so lucky and honored to have had Fred play the spanish guitar for us at our wedding. I am a huge fan of spanish guitar and Fred was everything we had hoped for and more. Not only is he extremely talented, professional and very kind, but he went the extra mile learning some of my requests I gave to him in a very limited amount of time. He even learned a special song,m+m's by blink 182, for my husband and wowed our guests. He really listened to what we wanted and created the ambience that we were looking. We received many compliments and we couldn't be happier or more satisfied. We hope to book him again for another special occasion. Fred is the ultimate best!

Thank you so much Katrina! I'm so glad you were happy with everything!
