John was absolutely fantastic! Everyone else I talked to charged an arm and a leg for custom arrangements, and really didn't understand the style I was going for John was a complete pro - learning the songs in exactly the style I was hoping for (it was seriously magical when I could hear him start to play the opening chords that I was going to walk down the aisle to. Simply perfect) :) He responded quickly to every email, worked with my officiant, and even drove all the way from OR to the Seattle area.
Let me save you time searching around for a solo guitarist to trust with your wedding...go with John, and you can relax knowing that you're in good hands.

John was wonderful to work with. We had given him a couple songs shortly before the event and although he didn't know them beforehand, he nailed them. Our guests had high praise throughout the evening about John's playing and some of these folks are hard to please. John is a great musician and a very cool guy.

John has a passion at being a true instrumental artist with his guitar(s). I took extra time to search him out; I was beyond pleased to be able to book him for our event, since he played at our residence 6 years ago. He left a lasting impression; we were so enchanted by his Johndra of music.
John again took extra care on what we would like for song selections and it turned out beautifully! Many members of our family commitment on how much they enjoyed the musician ??
Thank you John for your dedication to making our Mother’s C of Life complete with such heavenly array of songs. You never disappoint! You’re the BEST ~ The Watkins

John is the definition of a professional. We had two song requests that weren't in is immediate repertoire, but he was able to come up with a beautiful version of both. He brought and set up all of his own equipment completely independently. He arranged his own meeting with the venue so he could see what he would need from them. During dinner, he was very aware of the room, and stop and started when speeches began and ended, despite us not giving him any warning what was going on (sorry about that john!). He really listened to us when we discussed the type of music we like and everything he played was perfect. Our wedding would not have been the same without him.

We are thrilled with the music John was able to provide for our wedding. Not only did he work up a song we requested, he tailored a playlist of other music that fit our vibe perfectly. He was incredibly accommodating, professional, and super easy to work with!

John was a delight! He was set up on time, played beautifully, and accommodated the music genre we requested perfectly. Everyone commented on how his live music added to the experience, and I'd hire him again in a second. He was professional, kind and reliable. Hands down, worth every penny.

Our experience with John as our wedding guitarist was PHENOMENAL. To say that he was simply accommodating, professional and talented would be an understatement, because he went well above and beyond on every aspect. He made the entire process extremely easy and it left us feeling secure knowing our wedding music, which would be a memory we would have forever, was in good hands. We would recommend John one hundred times over to anyone considering having this talented musician at their special event.

John learned two new songs for our wedding processional and recessional and performed them beautifully. He also transitioned smoothly between two songs of very different styles. John was incredibly easy to work with, and made it stress-free on my end, even with him coming out to a fairly off-the-grid venue.

John was amazing for our wedding ceremony! Performed beautifully and was a dream to work with—fast, helpful responses and made everything easy! The music was better than we imagined and fit our vibe we were going for- romantic and blissful!

We had an early morning outdoor July wedding at a vineyard in Oregon with guests arriving at 9am. John was all set up ready to go before any of the guest arrived. Very professional looking and wonderful playing and sound. We had also requested that he might play one of our favorite songs, an Italian romantic song, and John took the time to learn it. He was knowledgable and skilled at choosing other songs to play and some of our guest asked for his professional contact info for their own upcoming events. A real delight to have him play for us at our wedding. Our warmest thanks to you John for helping us make our wedding so wonderful!

John is a true gem. He is a wonderful guitar player and was one of the highlights of our wedding. We had a Spanish theme going and asked him (week of) to play some regular indie songs followed by a set of jazzy/Spanish guitar. He more than exceeded our expectations. From being extremely responsive and professional when coordinating our last minute booking to being on time, planful and calming in the wedding chaos day-of, I would work with him again anytime. He took a look when he arrived at our Spotify playlist and included some surprises for us at emotional moments through out. Seriously, we can't sing his praises enough. Thanks for everything John!

John Harr is an elegant, highly skilled, passionate professional. He and a colleague played their hearts out at our party...and it was their THIRD gig that day. John plays with heart and with style. We loved the music!
