We chose Rich for our wedding September 19 in Baltimore. He was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the first time we reached out he responded promptly with detailed information. He was available for extensive back and forth before the ceremony. He learned two new songs for us, a processional and recessional. And his song book for the seating music and any post-ceremony playing is especially versatile, from professional-level classical guitar to Despacito and hits across the last several generations. On top of all that, he's humble and gracious and a delight to work with. Thanks Rich! -

My father insisted on having a live musician at our wedding and I am so extremely happy that he did. After he and my brother found Rich online, Rich was very responsive and helpful with coming up with an idea for the overall wedding procession and evening. What blew our minds the most was his desire to fulfill our song wishlist, and even more so his willingness and enthusiasm to learn a new song from our country, especially considering he only had one week to do so. My husband, I, and our family wholeheartedly thank Rich for being such a delight and for adding such lovely atmosphere to our day. We highly recommended Rich to others and hope to book him again in the future. -

Rich was fantastic! After our original guitarist was unable to reschedule for our new date (rescheduled because of COVID), I was frantically searching for a new musician for our wedding. Rich was extremely professional and provided great advice and recommendations for our ceremony music. He has a large range of music you can pick from and he even offered to learn any songs that we wanted for our big day. His performance on the day of our wedding was also perfect. We got plenty of compliments from our guests about the music during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Overall, Rich is amazing and you won't regret booking him. -

Rich played for my daughter's small outdoor wedding. She was an hour late due to her makeup artist car breaking down. Rich, without me asking, just jumped in and made things beautiful with his music. He was so professional and kind. Everyone told me they didn't even feel uncomfortable having to wait because of his playing. He made my daughter feel so special walking to her new husband. At the end of the night almost all the guest asked who he was and how did I find such a talented guitarist. His music made many souls peaceful in a time we all needed just that. I highly recommend Rich. -

Aside from the presentation, he was very responsive to all of my emails and very professional. I'd highly recommend him for weddings or any event you'd like to make unique. -
User1257191 Sent on 07/25/2013We booked Rich w/a strings trio (guitar, violin, and cello) for our June wedding, and they performed the prelude at the church, as well as during cocktails. Though I wasn't at the church while they played, I was told by countless guests how beautiful their music was, and how they set the perfect tone for our special celebration. Their music at cocktails was amazing, as well. Rich was incredibly professional and responsive to any and all questions, and I would recommend highly to anyone considering hiring a guitar or other strings! -

Austria Sent on 03/12/2013AMAZING!! That is all I can say. We booked Rich for the cocktail and dinner hours at our wedding reception along with a live violinist. This was a detail my mother really pushed for...and I am so happy she did. People are still talking about how wonderful the music was. We had Rich and the violinist play a mix of classical and modern music. The music was recognizable and very well played.
Throughout the planning process Rich was informative and helpful. I will highly recommend him to family and friends...and if I ever need to book live music in the future he will be my first phone call! -

Kelly Sent on 10/18/2012I honestly can’t remember how my now-husband and I first found out about Rich, but I’m very glad that we did! After listening to the sound clips on his website, we were very impressed, and booked him immediately to play our ceremony and cocktail hour! We received so many compliments on his music, that I know we made the right decision :-).
I’ll admit that I don’t know a lot about music, but Rich is truly one of the most talented guitarists I’ve ever heard play. He was always incredibly gracious, polite, responsive, professional, and friendly throughout the whole process...and he answered all of the million questions that I’m sure I threw at him! On top of that, his rates are incredibly reasonable.
Rich is the utmost professional, and brings his entire sound system with him, along with lapel mics for the officiant and anyone doing readings...talk about convenient! He arrived early the day of our wedding to make sure everything was prepared and set up well in advance (I’m a worrier, so I LOVE that!).
For someone who typically worries about everything, it was very refreshing to know that I didn’t have to worry at all about how the music would be handled for our ceremony and cocktail hour – I trusted Rich implicitly, and knew that everything would be perfect! I highly recommend Rich, and really cannot say enough good things about our experience with him. He truly did an amazing job in helping to make our wedding day everything we ever dreamed it could be! Thank you again for everything, Rich!
