Wedding•Reviewed on July 27, 2014•From Healdsburg, CA
We hired Justin to play our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and our dinner. He was absolutely phenomenal to work with. From early on he accommodated our schedule in planning the song choices and made a few excellent suggestions that we had never heard, but ultimately ended up loving.
Aside from his professionalism, Justin is a very nice guy. By the end of our experience with him, we can legitimately say we were sad to see him go! It felt more like a close (very talented) friend playing for us, rather than a hired guitarist we had never met in person. We would whole-heartedly recommend entrusting Justin with the music of your special occasion.

Justin was such a pleasure to work with. From the initial contact and the phone and email conversations before our event. We loved all of the songs he played and his playing style. We even had some 'sing-a-longs' at the end. We had an intimate dinner, outside with friends, on a lovely vineyard property in Napa Valley and having Justin there made it even more special.
I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 14, 2014•From Los Gatos, CA
Justin called and emailed ahead of the anniversary evening to check in. He arrived early to the party, was dressed very professionally, was very lovely to deal with,played beautifully and added just what we had hoped for to the feeling of the night. We would love to have him come and play again for any special event in the future.

I selected Justin for several reasons: I was getting married at City Hall and in his bid he mentioned that he had played there before and was familiar with the venue and the acoustics. He would therefore know that vendors need to enter through a special security dock in order to scan his guitar case (government building protocol). These little details were very important to me. On the day, Justin arrived early and was ready to go right on time, played beautifully through the ceremony, and helped to create the perfect mood. All my guests agreed that his music added that extra touch to make the event truly magical.

Justin was great to work with.
His playing style and sound was perfect for our wedding ceremony, very romantic but festive and bright at the same time.
He has a wide repertoire but was also willing to learn a new song that we specifically wanted him to play. He even offered to make a recording of the song and send it to us.
He was very professional and made himself available for all of the rehearsals and walk-throughs before the actual event.
We would definitely work with him again!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 12, 2013•From San Francisco, CA
Justin was a pleasure to work with, and provided beautiful, moving music for my wedding. He played before and during the ceremony, and worked with me to arrange a song that I sang at the wedding.
I met with Justin twice, and both times he was professional, friendly and helpful. He played through a wide variety of music for us, helping us narrow down what we wanted, and I loved the options he provided. For the song that I sang, Justin offered to send me a recording of himself playing so that I could practice. This was incredible.
When my processional music started, I was immediately in tears. The music fit the mood perfectly, and Justin played beautifully!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 12, 2014•From Los Gatos, CA
Justin played on my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He was professional from the initial contact to the very end.
He offered Skype session for us to decide on key songs for the ceremony. In the month of wedding preparation crunch, it was very convenient for me.
As a bride, I don't remember too much detail about his music on the day of (stimulation overload!), but I remember his music perfectly matched the atmosphere and beautiful vineyards in the background. I only wish that the music was played a bit louder.... (which by the way is our DJ's fault. not Justin's).
I would strongly recommend him to anyone! Thanks, Justin!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 14, 2017•From San Francisco, CA
Justin did a wonderful job as a guitar soloist at our recent wedding reception. We were looking for a skilled musician who could play classical and contemporary guitar, and we found that in Justin.
His skilled arrangements entertained all of us, and we appreciate his work with a special request to create a custom arrangement / accompaniment of a song that’s special to me and my husband.
I rate Justin very highly if you’re looking for a talented guitar soloist to add that special something to an event.
