Doug Anthony - Solo Guitar Austin

the cocktail hour. Doug is a fantastic musician, and anyone would be very lucky to have him play their event.

erything he played for our ceremony was lovely. Truly a blessing to have his beautiful acoustics as part of our special day.

oug play during our ceremony- it was so special.

even made helpful suggestions and offered tips. He showed up promptly on our wedding day 4-27-19 and played beautifully for the pre-seating, ceremony and cocktail hour which I had requested. So lovely and his music added a different flair to our wedding. Thank you so much Doug, you were worth every penny and I enjoyed listening to the music as I walked down the aisle. Thank you!!!

c guitar. Thanks Doug!

highly recommend him for any event and will definitely hire him for future events!

ole time, which was really long! People still talk about how much they enjoyed having a live guitarist to listen to.

with - very responsive and he had great suggestions for specific songs to play. He has a huge catalog of songs to choose from. Doug is not only professional but a great musician. His guitar playing is magical!

f songs and titles if needed. We only requested specific songs for the wedding party entrance and exit, and Doug was able to effectively read the crowd to play songs suitable and enjoyable for our wedding guests as they were seated. It was such a nice touch to have live music, and I would recommend Doug without any hesitation.

rfect and the acoustic guitar melodies are beautiful. He was on time and prepared at both weddings. Although both weddings were outdoors, we had an unexpected temperature drop to the 40s at my daughter's recent April wedding. It was not exactly the Spring day we had envisioned, but Doug was a real trooper and played beautifully even in the frigid temps. He continued to play for the cocktail hour following the ceremony as planned, even though the guests moved inside due to the weather. My daughter and new son-in-law enjoyed the background music as they continued taking photos, but my sincere apologies to Doug for not noticing and suggesting he end early or move inside. He is a true professional and I hope to have the opportunity to enjoy his music again in the future.

s very good at offering suggestions. The guests really enjoyed his music! Highly recommend!

ceremony and cocktail hour and we received many many compliments about how wonderful his music was. We would definitely recommend Doug!

ur wedding, I could not have imagined it any other way.

appreciated how responsive and communicative he was. He played our ceremony and also during our dinner. Both were just perfect. Doug was a total professional from start to finish. If beautiful music is important to you and you want someone easy to work with, this is your guy. I would hire him again in a second.

cial day! Doug is a very nice and talented musician and I whole-heartedly recommend his services for your wedding or special ceremony. Bravo!

Zeppelin. He played each song that we chose so beautifully. His music was the perfect addition to our small ceremony. Doug is professional, easy to work with and accommodating. We are so glad we chose him as our guitarist. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a musician and we would chose him again to play at any of our special events.

ree. Thank you Doug!

through. I found Doug on Gig Masters and he replied to my MULTIPLE emails promptly and answered my MILLION questions (yes, I’m that annoying bride lol) Doug didn’t make me feel like a burden at all though. So let’s fast forward to the Big Day…. I barely emailed him that morning to tell him what song I wanted to walk down to since I was having a hard time to decide which wasn’t a problem for him at all! He had me pay my balance via paypal while I was getting ready which was super fast and easy and I didn’t have to worry about doing the transaction at the wedding venue in front of our guests. There’s a long trail before you get to the chapel and I couldn’t see anything or anyone..but I could HEAR the music and it was so soft, romantic and lovely and that’s when everything got REAL and exciting for me. He was absolutely perfect and he sat in the corner (dressed very nicely btw..) where he can still be seen and heard but not take the spotlight (duh, that’s my job lol) Planning a wedding out of town is hard already and I was so stressed about every single detail…but not about Doug. He was the least of my worries. He answered my questions, I paid him, and he got there and immediately set up.. simple as that! I am so glad I found him and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone! Sorry of the long review…the experience was just so perfect that I had to explain!!

did I have a worry about Doug! He provided pre-ceremony and cocktail hour music for our small, outdoor wedding. He was super easy and pleasant to work with! I think the moment he stepped on the property, he knew the vibe we were going for. He achieved that and more! I highly recommend him for any size wedding or event, as he knows his craft well and will take care of providing a great musical atmosphere. Thank you so much, Doug!

ist play. From Doug’s list of music, we chose a few key songs but let him choose the rest by reading our guests. When his song list didn’t include the song we had wanted as the recessional, he offered to learn it. He was quick with correspondence via email and flexible when it came to scheduling. His professionalism and talent made him a great choice for our wedding.

pleasure of his musicianship attend & serenade us! He kept us informed when he receieved our mailed items (contract & deposit) & when it got closer to the event date, he checked in by confirming the date, his time of arrival to include set up, and to make sure the same plans were in place regarding a requested song off his playlist as well as a few select songs to play for the ceremony. Upon wedding day, he arrived on time, at the time he stated he would, and easily fit in by setting up his equipment. We had extra chairs available for him, if needed, but he had his own-prepared and self sufficient. Our ceremony was outdoors while our reception was indoors to which Doug easily transitioned from each area, even fitting in a small nook of our living room without batting an eye! We asked him to choose the majority of the playlist with the exception of a special request made in previous contacts & particular ceremony songs. He willingly learned the special request song and played it to our family's joy during the reception. His go with the flow style was perfect for the relaxed environment we wanted to create. His song selections & acoustic skills felt and sounded natural. Thank you, Doug for your professionalism. You were worth every penny =] We would gladly recommend you to anybody!

re that I was completely happy. Doug made great recommendations for songs and everything sounded awesome. Thanks Doug!

d then I let him pick everything else for the cocktail hour and reception. I had my concerns about what songs might be played or if people would get tired of hearing the guitar for so long (we did not book a band). All of his song choices were perfect, very pleasant and the guitar playing did not get old at all. I couldn't be happier that we used him for the wedding. Everyone else enjoyed his music, as well. I will absolutely recommend him to anyone in the future.

ped her pare that down quickly. The music was beautiful and just what we hoped for. Could not have asked for better!

d arranged everything. He was very flexible and timely. I didn't get the chance to even properly meet him until after the ceremony, but all of my guests loved his playing! Definitely made the day perfect!

It was beautiful. Highly recommend!

k with and super easy to communicate with. I recommend him for any event!

autiful music at our event. It was lively but very appropriate - it totally set our dinner apart and we received so many compliments.

yed listening to him play (and taking pictures of him with the guitar). :-) If you are looking for a musician to play at your wedding, he is your guy.

ng ceremony, and even came up afterwards to congratulate us before leaving. I also like his song selections...we used "Ripple" by the Grateful Dead for our processional music. I would definitely suggest Doug for ceremony and reception music at your wedding!

component to our event filling the room with warmth and joy during the holiday season. I would definitely recommend his services for your event. -George C.

just got to the chapel, set up, and started playing. Everyone who attended thought the music was beautiful, and a nice touch as well. I am so so glad we worked with Doug, and I recommend him to other couples who want to make their ceremony a bit more special.

of our wedding/reception and was eager to provide any special requests we may have. Very easy to work with and very flexible. We initially asked Doug to perform at our ceremony and it wasn't until about 2-3 weeks before our wedding date that we asked if he could also do our reception. Doug was more than happy to accommodate us. He also was helpful with details about our specific venues that we would not have known otherwise. I think my favorite thing was the fact that he asked what the groomsmen were wearing and wore the exact same type of shirt (guayabera). His videos are great but I think the live performance was even better. Almost every guest complimented his performance and asked for his name/info. Several guests made comments like "this guy knows how to play EVERYTHING!" My wife and I were both talking about how we hope we have another event in the future somewhere nearby so that we can have Doug perform again. If you are reading this review just stop looking and book Doug and I promise you will be 100% happy.

family and friends.

of great feedback from my guests on his music! We wanted ceremony music that was soft and romantic, and Doug was the perfect addition to our day!
