Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
From timeless romantic ceremonies, to interactive roaming cocktail hours, to table-side serenades during dinner service—my world-class service elevates everything and truly makes your guests feel like a part of the celebration.
Live music shouldn't just fill the silence. It should define the memory.
I don't just play songs; I score your wedding day like a film. My goal is to create an immersive, cinematic atmosphere that leaves your guests mesmerized, emotional, and talking about your celebration for years.
THE EXPERIENCE I specialize in Modern Fingerstyle—a virtuoso technique where I play the melody, bass, and rhythm simultaneously. It sounds like a full band, but with the elegance of a single instrument.
The Ceremony: I bring the acoustic grandeur of a concert hall to your aisle walk. My arrangements are designed to heighten the emotion of the moment, ensuring there isn’t a dry eye in the house as you make your entrance.
The Interactive Cocktail Hour: I do not hide in the corner behind a music stand. Using state-of-the-art wireless technology, I roam among your guests, performing intricate, high-energy covers up close. I break the barrier between performer and audience, turning your cocktail hour into an engaging, interactive experience.
The Dinner: For intimate receptions, I offer table-side serenades, adding a touch of old-world romance and VIP treatment to your dining service.
THE PEDIGREE You are entrusting your day to a world-class artist. I treat your wedding with the same rigor and discipline as my headline performances at Carnegie Hall (Zankel Hall & Weill Recital Hall).
Berklee College of Music: Summa Cum Laude Graduate & Scholarship Recipient.
Award-Winning: Finalist at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championships.
Endorsed Professional: Officially backed by Godin Guitars and QSC Audio.
THE AESTHETIC Your vision matters. I perform with the White QSC Luxury Column System (TEC Award Winner). It looks like modern architectural furniture, blending seamlessly into luxury venues and keeping your wedding photos pristine.

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!

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!

I truly loved working with Jason Ji, he was hands down one of our favorite vendors of the entire weekend. From our very first Zoom call, I could tell he would be a wonderful fit to...
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.

Jason is a Great Guitar Talent--Our Audience Fell in Love
I have been in the music business for several decades. Part of my work has been to locate unusual, standout talent who mi...
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 :)

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!
