Jarrett is a classical guitarist with a wide repertoire (from classical to modern day pop music). He was even able to learn and perform a new song that we had requested rather last minute and it meant a lot to us to hear that song that moment. ...

His music was a lovely touch to our wedding ceremony. Lastly, he was also very professional and timely!

Jarrett performed the ceremony music for our wedding, and from the moment I contacted him he was very easy to work with. He was easy to contact and responded promptly to all my emails/calls/texts. Although he is a classical guitarist, his scope...

of music spans a variety of genres, so he was able to play more recent pop songs on his guitar in such an elegant way. He knew most of the songs I had requested, and he even learned a special song that I wanted to be played before the ceremony! His suggestions for songs were right up my alley, so I could tell he listened carefully to our requests and he knew the vibe we were going for. Most importantly, he also achieved that vibe on our day - all songs went off without a hitch, which added such a special dimension to our wedding day. We and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed his music. 10/10 would book again!

A wedding ceremony should be both joyous and serene and Jarrett's playing added a beautiful and mystical layer to the event. Our daughter and now husband married on 10/28/2017 at Ft. McNair. The ceremony, held out of doors, was beautifully au...

gmented by the elegance of Jarrett's guitar playing. He had just the right amount of amplification to be heard but not overwhelm - what a pro! Jarrett has a vast and diverse array of songs in his play list. We chose a few classical favorites; he also performed La Vie en Rose (bridesmaids entrance) and our daughter's personal favorite, Moon River (bride and parent's entrance). Everything had an ethereal feeling and especially Jarrett's musical offerings. Many in attendance are also musicians and they gave his performance high praise. He dressed impeccably, was dignified in manner, and came and left rather discreetly. As the mother-of-the bride, I highly recommend Jarrett's guitar playing for your special day.

He is very sensitive to what volume is appropriate and what songs are a good choice, but has a list of music you can choose from as well. With all of the vendors you will have on your wedding day, you owe it to yourself to make an easy decision to have Jarrett Laskey be your musician.
