I cannot overstate how phenomenal our experience was working with Jason. He is kind, professional, and exceptionally talented. From our first meeting with Jason ahead of our wedding, we knew he was a perfect fit for our ceremony and cocktail hour. His arrangements for our processional and recessional were perfect. Countless guests have complimented his playing and he truly was a highlight of the wedding night!

Jason Ji completely transformed my wedding! I didn't know that it was possible to have so much fun hiring a wedding guitarist. He did our ceremony requests perfectly, they were all songs that he's never heard before and he was able to deliver nothing but perfection. My husband and I along with so many other guests were in tears. But during cocktail hour, that's when the roaming guitar had us singing and dancing along. Even before the dance floor in the evening, we were having a party with Jason. His cocktail set was upbeat, celebratory and energetic, as he walks among the guests and greeted them with a smile, he's able to hold a conversation while playing music perfectly- 5 stars and absolutely recommend to anyone who's thinking of hiring music for ceremony!

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

I'm Jason, a Boston-based fingerstyle guitarist creating music for romantic ceremonies, lively cocktail hours and intimate dinners throughout New England. I arrange melody, bass and rhythm on one guitar, bringing familiar songs to life in a way that feels personal to you and your guests. For your ceremony, we'll choose music that means something to you, from the prelude to your entrance and recessional. During cocktail hour, I perform wirelessly among your guests, taking the music beyond a fixed stage. For dinner, table-side serenades bring a more personal touch to the celebration. My repertoire spans pop, soul, jazz, classical and acoustic favorites, with custom arrangements available within your chosen package. I'm a Berklee College of Music graduate with summa cum laude honors and a world tour scholarship, a two-time solo performer at Carnegie Hall, a top-four finalist at the 2024 International Finger Style Guitar Championship, and the winner of the 2026 Indiana State Fingerstyle Guitar Competition. I bring professional sound, backup equipment and a clean presentation, including a white QSC column system and a wireless handheld microphone for toasts when included in your package. We'll talk through your venue, timing and song choices so the music fits naturally into your day. Tell me about your wedding and the atmosphere you'd love to create. I'd be happy to help you choose the right coverage.

th gorgeous everything, it truly would have been missing a critical element had Jason not been there to play. We had never heard him before and relied on the information available about his talents, but he was way more than we could’ve imagined. I want him to play for us many many times over! I was so busy that night as the mother of the bride and wish I could’ve just sat down and listened to everything he played. It was wonderful!

ktail hour - roaming around, taking requests, and getting everyone singing along! He played everything from ABBA and Sinatra to even Chappell Roan, and our guests are still talking about the music weeks later. Jason was incredibly professional, responsive, and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process, which put us at ease on the big day. We would hire him again in a heartbeat for any event that needs live music!

help shape the musical atmosphere of our wedding. His single guitar sounded so full like akin to a whole quartet worth of sound. Jason was incredibly accommodating as our plans evolved. He was flexible with both a date and time change to help us capture the cooler summer evening we wanted. He arrived early at the venue and even joined us at our rehearsal BBQ, which meant a lot to us. He provided all of the background music for our ceremony, performing live guitar that felt like magic. His romantic medleys and seamless improvisations brought so much depth and feeling to the space. He also accompanied my sister as she played her instrument, creating a truly heartfelt moment that many guests told us they’d never forget. When our DJ was delayed, Jason stepped in without hesitation to set up the ceremony audio, keeping everything running smoothly and calmly. Throughout the planning process, Jason was responsive, warm, and completely professional. His music was elegant, expressive, and perfectly suited for the emotional tone of our ceremony.. If you’re looking for live music that feels thoughtful, beautifully performed, and backed by someone who truly cares about your day, I wholeheartedly recommend Jason for live music at any event- you’ll be in good hands.

ght have global impact and appeal. Jason Ji is one of those. His guitar playing, stage presence and natural joy and energy fill a room in a way that will make your event truly successful. We had a full PA set up because he also played with guitar with our 8-man band. But you could have him join with just his guitar and amp, and he would make an hour or two one of the more impactful events and moments. Highly--highly-- recommend working with him. His technical capacities are exceptional with a soulful guitar delivery that is sui generis. A virtuoso as the level of Tommy Emmanuel or Otmar Liebert. Our audience of about 90 people were riveted. I enjoyed working with him. 5 Stars +

he time to learn specific songs we requested, it made everything feel even more personal and meaningful. He was super punctual, friendly, and easygoing, which honestly took a huge weight off our shoulders and the night was stress-free on the music end. So many of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed his music, too. If you're looking for a talented, expert musician who genuinely cares about making your day special, Jasons your guy! 10/10 five stars :)

Jason was absolutely incredible. His unique guitar style added such an emotional touch to both our ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was INSANELY beautiful and tasteful, he was...

able to make one guitar sound so incredibly full and expressive, perfectly suited to our wedding. He even worked in some rock requests that he learned just for us. Out of all our vendors, Jason received by far the most compliments! He was warm, professional, and working with him was effortless from start to finish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you’re looking for something truly unique and classy!
