We were so excited that Ben was available to play acoustic guitar during our wedding ceremony on 11/8/24. His portfolio was great and he also learned a new song that we wanted for the bridal processional. He was super communicative, reasonable, and professional from our first conversation. On our wedding day, he arrived early and made sure the sound was perfect. We are really thankful to Ben for making our ceremony exactly what we wanted!
We worked with Ben to provide acoustic guitar during our wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t be happier! Ben came recommended to us from another guitarist we had previously worked with. From the beginning, Ben was easy to communicate with and super responsive; he even learned a new song for our wedding (a song by Prince no less! No easy feat!). Planning was easy, and the music on the day of the wedding was even better than we had hoped for. Ben chose perfect music for the ceremony prelude. We teared up as soon as we heard You Are The Best Thing playing, and it was so wonderful to walk down the aisle to Here Comes The Sun and out to Kiss. We appreciated Ben’s communication and beautiful music, and we would highly recommend working with him if you are looking for a talented, professional, and impressive guitarist.
Ben was wonderful, he worked with us on our selections for the ceremony and even created a guitar version of one of our favorite songs for our recessional. He was professional and just provided such lovely background music to both our ceremony and cocktail hour.
Ben was wonderful! We had him perform the music for our ceremony and pre-ceremony. He learned a few songs we requested and even sent us samples of the songs he had prepared for us. On the day of the event, he arrived early to prepare. He was prompt, easy to work with, talented, professional, and affordable. The music was excellent and the perfect fit for our event!
Ben did a great job at our outdoor wedding on the national mall. We were, shall we say, less than organized brides and he was flexible with us and a few last minute changes (like the addition of a flower girl/flower girl music!). Our ceremony was at the DC War Memorial and he was able to bring his own amplification. Would definitely recommend!
Ben was amazing from the beginning! He was always more than accomodating with our wedding song requests. He was very responsive. He went as far as to record himself singing different songs for me when I was not sure what songs to pick. Unfortunately, we did not get to enjoy his cocktail hour music because we were off taking photos but his ceremony music brought me to tears as soon as I heard the song I picked. It sounded exactly how I had imagined. All of our wedding guests loved you! Thanks for making our wedding day perfect!
Ben was the best hire we made on our wedding day! He learned an Ingrid Michaelson song I requested for my walk down the aisle, which he played and sang flawlessly. He also secretly teamed up with my husband, unbeknown to me, and learned a song that my husband wrote/sang for me. We never had to worry about our bridesmaids and groomsmen walking down the aisle because he played every song we requested in perfect timing. He was so easy to work with and extremely professional. Absolutely top notch. I am recommending him to all of my friends getting married!
Ben did an amazing job!! He offered a variety of selections and was willing to learn selections for our Ceremony. Great communication with us throughout the process! Terrific music before and after the Ceremony as well!! 5+++ stars!!
