Ross is an absolutely incredible musician and a true professional. I was so happy to have found him for our small wedding in the park, where his guitar fit so perfectly. He learned and arranged new songs for our ceremony (which was not an easy task!), and not only did the arrangements sound flawlessly, expertly done, but the skill in which he played was something I'll always remember. I know for certain I walked too fast down the aisle, but I am so glad Ross' music accompanies my happiest memory. Our guests loved his guitar playing so much that we heard compliments all through the reception! Working with Ross was easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Thank you so much, Ross!!

Ross Harvey was exactly what we were looking for when planning our special day and ceremony music. He does acoustic style guitar sets and has a huge list of songs and pieces for you to choose from. He can do both traditional and contemporary. He was incredibly responsive to emails and questions leading up to the event. We cannot thank him enough. The music was perfect.

Ross played the ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding on November 19, 2022. We had a DJ for our reception so live ceremony music was really important to me. Given that our wedding was later in the year, we had a hard time finding musicians who felt comfortable playing an outdoor ceremony. Ross ended up being the perfect fit! He had no concerns about possible cold weather and was able to accommodate all of our requests. I wouldn't hesitate to book Ross for your big day!

Ross added so much to our wedding ceremony! From the start, he was responsive, helpful, and flexible. He provided the equipment and speakers so that everyone could hear the music the entire time. He did an amazing job with planning out the timing and volume levels to fade out during speaking parts and fade back in for the procession. Our guests had so many compliments about how great our ceremony music was. Book Ross!

Ross came to play guitar for my intimate, at-home wedding ceremony. The environment he created for our ceremony was peaceful, romantic, and happy. I cannot recommend him enough- he even took the time to learn a Bollywood song that I've loved since childhood- it was absolutely perfect! He was professional, kind, highly skilled, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend him!

Ross is a kind and flexible professional with obvious musical talent. We would not hesitate to contract with him again - he is incredibly easy to work with. Ross was able to make an already special moment better by kindly agreeing to play a guitar that holds sentimental value to our family. His talent further exceeded our expectations when he revealed a song we had challenged him to play. We wish to thank him and look forward to many more positive reviews!

Ross was such a delight to work with! I planned my wedding during covid (like most couple have been trying to do for the last 2 years) and he was SO flexible on all the unexpected changes. He played all the songs I wanted during the ceremony and even offered to attend rehearsal just to get the timing right. He was so responsive via email/the knot webpage. Absolutely recommend!

Ross was excellent at our wedding! Communication with him was very clear and fast. His music was a perfect fit for our wedding. We also requested a song that was not on his list and he did an excellent job of fulfilling that request! We could not be more happy with the service he provided!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ross! He is SUCH a talented musician and really captured the essence of who my husband and I are as a couple for our ceremony. He gave us an extensive list of songs he already knows that included both classic and contemporary tunes, but will be happy to learn different songs if the ones you are looking for are not on his given list. Our guests gave us so many compliments about him throughout the night (as they should have because Ross rocks!) and we just couldn’t be happier with how wonderful he tied the music together for our wedding ceremony. SO...if you are wondering what to do when it comes to ceremony tunes, I HIGHLY recommend hiring this musical Angel because you won’t regret it! Thanks again, Ross! The Berans love you!!!

Ross was amazing! We're a very simple couple and only had a few ideas and trusted that he would do a great job and we were right! His song selection was perfect for our vibe and he is an incredibly talented musician. Even with our small wedding it felt so special an elegant. Our ceremony will be the most memorable day of our lives. We couldn't be happier! Thanks Again Ross!

If you're looking for a talented guitarist who is dependable, professional and an all-around nice guy, Ross Harvey is it! We met Ross at a wedding show and got a sample of his beautiful music. He learned three songs and worked with two singers to make our ceremony just the way we wanted. He also entertained our guests during cocktail hour. We couldn't be more pleased with his contribution to our special day.

Ross was very professional, punctual and perfect. He was right on time for our rehearsal in the rain. He showed up early to our ceremony and started playing as soon as the first guest showed up. If you're looking for a guitarist in Richmond check our Ross!

Ross was a fantastic addition to our wedding ceremony. I cannot believe how talented he is on the guitar. Not only was the music AMAZING, he was so flexible and understanding with us as we navigated trying to plan a wedding during the pandemic. I changed locations, times, and just about every detail for the wedding and never once did Ross make a big deal about it. It was so nice to have such a kind, talented person to work with on our wedding day. Thank you so much Ross for being our guitarist!! I'd highly recommend Ross for anything guitar related!

Ross Harvey is a master at the acoustical guitar. He played for an hour outside on the porch at Upper Shirley during cocktail hour and then moved inside and played several hours during dinner. He arrived plenty early to setup. A number of our guests commented how perfect his music complemented the evening. His selection of music was well suited to this occasion. We highly recommend Ross Harvey. We are fortunate to have crossed paths.
