Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 18, 2019•From Sedona, AZ
We booked Colin to play guitar - both instrumental only and with vocals - for my daughter's wedding at an outside venue in Sedona. We live in Illinois so we communicated with Colin via email. He was super easy to communicate with and responded to all of our inquiries in a very timely manner. My daughter did not request any specific music/songs and we asked Colin to select music that he thought would be appropriate for the event/venue. His performance was outstanding and just what we hoped for. We highly recommend Colin.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on December 10, 2017•From Gilbert, AZ
Ours was a private party and we were very pleased with Colin's professionalism, his talent,his quick response to emails and his ability to entertain without being intrusive so our guests could still visit with one another. He followed up with us both before and after the event. We received numerous compliments from our guests on his performance.
Well done!

I was pleasantly surprised to be able to book Acoustic Echoes on such short notice. Even more pleasantly surprised by how much my party guests enjoyed the music! Since the rain kept the 40 of us indoors, it was really nice to have the music. I hope Acoustic Echoes will want to play NEXT year at this annual party!

I would hire again and recommend Colin to anyone for their event. He was incredibly accommodating to song requests and some last minute changes and it was nice to work with someone so laid back when other parts of the event (wedding) were getting a little crazy. He played great sets and his music choices were exactly what we wanted. Also, he wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk during the reception - that was very appreciated. Thank you Colin!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 25, 2014•From Mesa, AZ
I don't even know where to being. I had a hard time finding someone who was reasonable in price and talent, until I found Colin. Colin actually played the guitar as I performed at my Best friends wedding. He was very professional and even rehearsed with me until the day of the wedding. I even changed the song I wanted to sing a week before the wedding!! (Crazy I know) But he executed the song that I wanted to sing and even arranged the music himself. Which made the experience very special to me and my friends. I couldn't imagine anyone else to play for me that night! so again Thank you Colin!! I will always remember that night. - Carlos

Colin was the perfect choice for my sons wedding. He learned new songs, kept the volume at the perfect level and added both uniqueness and ambience to our evening. We had to adjust plans due to weather and he flowed with it. If you want the perfect elegant touch to a wedding, choose Colin!

Colin did an amazing job for our wedding. He was set up and ready to go on time. Colin played songs prior to the wedding and during the ceremony. IT WAS PERFECT!!!!! Exactly what I had asked for!! I did not get a change to hear him play for the cocktail hour but all the guests had nothing but wonderful things to say. He helped to make our day AMAZING!!!

Community Event•Reviewed on June 26, 2013•From Phoenix, AZ
We held a charity benefit and I was looking for some ambient music to be played at the event. At first I told Colin that I only wanted him to play to the guitar and no vocals since it was a charity event. However, I quicky changed my mind when I went to see him at a local venue. His performance was awesome. On the night of the event, he showed up right on time and had everything he needed. The music selection he chose was perfect, and I received rave reviews all night. He even agreed to stay for an extra half hour since people were enjoying it so much. He will be my go to musician for any event I have going forward. I highly recommend him!

I had arranged to have Colin entertain as a surprise for my guests. I couldn't have been happier. Not only was Colin easy to work with - his outgoing personality and professionalism made it a real pleasure. The guests were thrilled - couldn't stop raving. Would definitely use him again -

Colin Barley did our wedding ceremony music for us and we are absolutely delighted that we used him. We gave Colin songs that we wanted and sure enough, he learned each of them and performed them beautifully. He is very professional, always responsive and we will be using him again for any private parties we have in the future.
Most of all, Colin is extremely nice, genuine, very kind and a pleasure to not only work with but to get to know as person.
Hire him!!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on May 13, 2013•From Scottsdale, AZ
I requested a guitarist the day before a corporate event and Colin was the first to respond to my request. Not only did he respond via e-mail, he also called to see if I had any other needs for the evening. he was very prompt with all of his correspondences.
Upon arrival Colin was able to set up very quickly and made sure to check in with me that that everything looked ok.
His music was perfect for our small group of 20 dinner guests. I had originally talked to him about only performing instrumental music, but his singing with the guitar was wonderful. Several of our guests asked for his contact information. I would love to work with Colin again!

Colin was very professional and detail oriented in preparation and execution. His sound and musicality provided the right backdrop to my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding ceremony.
We had a professional musician as one of our guests and he commented on how talented and clean Colin's guitar and vocals were during the event.
Thank you again Colin for helping make the day special for everyone.
