Jim did a fantastic job playing guitar at our donor cultivation event in August 2015. He was responsive, thoughtful in his questions and suggestions for the event, showed up on time and was willing to stay longer if needed. He is a very talented artist and played beautifully that evening. We are very happy with his work and would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him.

Jim was most accomdating with helping at music selection and organizing for our wedding ceremony. Jim always replied to my emails promptly, professionally, and friendly. I've become a fan of his music and look forward seeing him perform at one of his gigs. Best of luck in all of your endeavors Jim!

Although Jim had another booking for the same day, he worked with us to make it happen. His style of play and presentation were perfect for our setting and his talent is off the charts. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a solo guitarist. He was exceptional!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 21, 2015•From Milwaukee, WI

Jim was an amazing addition to our wedding. He performed for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and learned several songs at our request to personalize the experience for us, all of which were absolutely beautiful. He's incredibly talented and was such a pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

My husband and I were so pleased to have Jim as our wedding ceremony guitarist. He was so easy to work with during the planning phase and sounded amazing during the ceremony! He brought our song choices to life and fit my vision of sound perfectly. I highly recommend him! Thank you so much Jim for helping make our day that much more special. Cheers!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 20, 2014•From Benton Harbor, MI

Jim was fantastic! Couldn't have had anything better, he was very easy to communicate with and very friendly. I have nothing bad to say! Everyone loved him and said it sounded beautiful. We had a barn wedding and unfortunately the outdoor ceremony did not happen because it rained, hailed and then came sleet. Jim was accommodating and quickly adjusted and we had nothing but compliments! Wonderful, thank you so much for taking part in our wedding. - Nicole & Matt

Jim was wonderful. So attentive to my needs, very accommodating. This was a memorial luncheon with very little notice. I requested some additional music which he quickly arranged and performed. He played beautifully. A true professional! I highly recommend him for any event.

Jim was FAN - TAS - TIC!!! punctual, professional, incredibly talented and extremely sensitive to the guests and their enjoyment of the evening. He provided guitar music during a dinner party. Guests were from New York, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. They ALL were over-over-the-top with accolades for Jim's work and his devotion to his music.

Wedding•Reviewed on December 29, 2017•From Brookfield, IL

We had Jim play for our outdoor ceremony. He entertained the arriving guests with beautiful music while they were arriving. For our ceremony he learned my husband's favorite songs and put together quality arrangements of them. He has great musical skill and style. A true musician not just simply an entertainer. We would recommend him to anyone.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 11, 2016•From Rosemont, IL

Jim did exactly as we had asked! He played contemporary and upbeat music that kept our corporate cocktail hour moving! He is very talented and it is amazing he was able to get such a full-bodied sound out of one guitar. I originally wanted to hire a duet, but when I looked at Jim's samples he sent me, I knew that he was the guitarist for us and he didn't disappoint!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 13, 2016•From Kenosha, WI

Jim was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was very professional and easy to work with. He was very accommodating and replied to my emails in a very timely manner. My pastor was an hour late for the ceremony and Jim kept playing the prelude music for the guests without even missing a beat even though it was 95 degrees and humid. The music was perfect. He is extremely talented!
