Gregory was so great to work with! He was very communicative and helpful from the moment we booked him. He gave us a large list of songs he already plays as well as let us request ...
whatever else. He was professional, timely, and so kind! We had many people complimenting the music at our cocktail hour.
We hired Gregory to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding at The Westin in HHI, SC. He was probably our most responsive vendor and I felt SO CONFIDENT abou...
t him and our music going into wedding day, which is a great feeling. We were really wanting a more nontraditional beachy/reggae vibe since our wedding was outside along the beach and boy did he NAIL IT!!! He even brought a steel pan player and bassist with him the day of which was so incredibly nice of him. They rehearsed ahead of time and played so many songs we wanted to hear (Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley), it was so cool. We also did some Zoom calls with him before the wedding to discuss the prelude and ceremony music and he allowed us to choose exactly what we wanted while also making some suggestions. He is extremely talented and so professional and the music really set the tone for the wedding vibe we wanted. You will not be disappointed if you book him and he is a great value for such a great musician!
Gregory played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and was phenomenal! He is truly talented and a pleasure to work with! He has a huge selection of songs to choose from fo...
r specific ceremony moments and he NAILED the mood I was aiming for with the mix of songs he chose for cocktail hour based on the artists I told him I liked. I am so glad we hired him and would highly recommend him for your wedding or event!
We hired Gregory for our ceremony, and were absolutely blown away by his artistry and professionalism. We asked him to learn a song for our walk down the aisle and he did an amazin...
g job with it. His repertoire is insanely broad and impressive. He was incredibly professional and kind thoughout, wish we would have hired him to do more than just the ceremony!
Gregory was wonderful to work with from the moment I contacted him -- He was friendly, professional, efficient, flexible, and super responsive over email. And, to state the obvious...
, he is supremely talented! We had multiple guests at our wedding who had either been playing guitar for years, or were involved in the music industry at some point, and everyone commented on how blown away they were by Gregory (as did all of our guests without musical backgrounds as well!). He created the perfect atmosphere for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, and because of him we have memories that we will treasure forever: I still tear up thinking about how beautifully he played Pachelbel's Canon in D as my dad and I walked down the aisle together, and many of our guests filmed a particularly adorable moment of him playing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" as one of our 4-year-old flower girls sang along during the cocktail hour. I could go on and on, but long story short, if you want to guarantee that your wedding has gorgeous music that you and your guests will remember for years to come, look no further than Gregory!
After extensive searching for live instrumental music for our ceremony my husband and I found Gregory Guay's website. We were instantly blown away by the samples we heard on the si...
te and knew we had to hire him immediately. Both he and the percussionist we hired for ceremony and cocktail hour were worth every penny spent. I am Latina and knew I wanted something to reflect my heritage at my wedding. Mr. Guay fit the bill perfectly with his beautiful classical guitar. He has travelled extensively through Latin America and is both knowledgeable about the music and culture. He was enthusiastic and prompt from our first contact by email to the day of the wedding and was extremely flexible when we had to make changes at the last minute. He was very helpful in planning the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour and really went the extra mile to make sure I loved each selection. We picked a number of songs for cocktail hour that are meaningful to my family and he committed to learning them for us. He even emailed me samples of him and his friend playing as they were rehearsing and I was able to email him my thoughts immediately! As an out of town bride I cannot stress enough how much his prompt communication put my mind at ease.
The day of the wedding, Gregory and his percussion player arrived on-time and were very professional. The music for the ceremony was more beautiful than I'd imagined. Mr. Guay managed to take classic bridal picks like Pachelbel's Canon and make them sound classic, but completely different at the same time. He is truly talented and it showed. Even though we were outside you could hear him clearly, but he never sounded too loud or overdone. He really elevated the ceremony and made it feel intimate and classy.
Gregory and his friend were also a huge hit at cocktail hour. They were friendly and seemed genuinely excited to be there. They played all of the songs I'd asked for and improvised some lovely Spanish style music as well. My family was very impressed at their talent and touched by the music selections. I wish we'd been around to hear more of it, but what I did hear was gorgeous. I highly recommend Mr. Guay and am thankful to him for his beautiful music. He made our big day feel extra special , elegant, and intimate and I am so glad we hired him. I only regret we didn't have the chance to speak more as he is truly a friendly and interesting person! Thank you Gregory!
