Private PartyReviewed on October 18, 2008From Annapolis, MD

Richard was fantastic. He played the entire 2 hours I had hired him and was very good. He even took some requests. I was looking for light background music and it was perfect. We were very satisfied with his performance and professionalism. Would definitely hire him again.

Cocktail PartyReviewed on April 21, 2010From Arlington, VA

I would NOT HESITATE a moment to engage Rich Barry for another event I was hosting, nor would I hesitate a moment to recommend him to my closest friend for their engagement. He was perfect. Showed up early to set up, dressed professionally to fit the event, played a variety of material well, ended on time, and fulfilled my every expectation. Easy to work with too---responsive and personable.

Community EventReviewed on March 7, 2010From Middleburg, VA

Rich is an amazing guitarist and an intuitive performer.He was a perfect match for our needs. He developed a program that was exactly what we wanted ,and then,with grace and amazing skill,delivered.His playing was magical and impressed our audience, both teenagers and adults, with his virtuosity and his oneness with his instrument. He was respectful and yet playful with his audience and won over the lot with his sincerity and passion for what he does. We have had many performers here through the years - he is a cut above, and he connected with us through his presence and his music, leaving us loving what he did- the test of a real artist.

This is the second time I used Rich Barry for a corporate event - and he exceeded our expectations once again. He arrives early - he sets up quietly - he plays beautifully - and is truly a pleasure to work with at an event. I will definitely request him in the future -he is a gem, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking quality guitar music for their event.

Rich Barry added a romantic, elegant touch to our wedding. All of the guests and the wedding coordinator at the Ritz-Carlton in Georgetown commented on his performance. Rich was excellent to work with; great communication and follow up skills. I highly recommend Rich Barry!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on January 4, 2010From Philadelphia, PA

We can not say enough about Rich Barry. His music was everything I hoped and more. I received many many compliments. His music was a wonderful to our wedding luncheon. I would not hesitate to hire him for another function or recommend him to anyone. The officiate we had really like him and asked where I found him. I mentioned gigmasters to several people. We would like to thank Gigmasters and Rich Barry for a flawless event.

A consummate professional and charming young man … and that doesn’t even begin to describe his musical talent. You need not search further if you wish to employ the best!

CelebrationReviewed on November 1, 2009From Washington, DC

Rich responded to an urgent request to perform at an event honoring my deceased fiance. He did so with humility and grace and said that he would be honored to participate. His music was beautiful and he conveyed a genuine concern and respect for the event and those affected by the tragedy. Many Thanks.

Mr. Barry was a gentleman and a true professional in all regards. He was very accommodating and helpful during the planning of the event. Rich was very flexible, punctual, courteous, respectful, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I asked Mr. Barry to perform for my wedding proposal to my girlfriend and he truly made it a magical, storybook night to remember! Rich is a VERY talented guitarist and true musician. I will definitely recommend him at EVERYONE I know!

Rich Barry was very professional and personable. The duet was on time and played the music that we had requested. I would highly recommend him.

Private PartyReviewed on October 5, 2009From Washington, DC

Rich was great. He arrived on time; he was organized and ready to play; he looked nice (appropriate to the event); he was very professional. He is also a very nice person--very accommodating to our needs, too. His playing is wonderful; he has a very rich repetoire, with an accent on South American pieces, which is what we wanted. I would use him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 16, 2009From Frederick, MD

Hire Richard!!! Richard played for our entire ceremony and the cocktail hour at our wedding. He discussed with us months in advance the music we wanted and he was able to play both contemporary American music and south asian music on his guitar. We had both during the ceremony. In addition, many guests commented on his beautiful playing and his willingness to take requests. He really gave our wedding the atmosphere we hoped for. Thanks so much Richard.
