About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
Hello, My name is Martin Metzger, and I am one of the most experienced and versatile guitarists in the Chicagoland area.
I perform regularly for weddings, corporate events, house parties, restaurants, festivals, benefits, schools and other events. My playing style is both warm and expressive, creating an ambience that delights and enlightens. My repertoire ranges from Spanish Guitar, Flamenco, Flamenco Jazz, Rumbas, Brazilian Jazz, Latin Jazz, Classical to selective Pop Classics and Standards. I have been performing for over 40 years, and have played for over 5,000 clients, with rave reviews.
In addition to performing solo, I often perform with a second guitarist, and/or a singer, a dancer and a percussionist. You may hire as many, or as few of us as you wish.
We would be delighted to learn a couple pieces that help make your event extra special!
In addition to my solo performances, I book over 75 of the most premier, experienced musicians in Chicago. We have soloists, duos, trios, and full ensembles, in many different genres. My connections, which took a lifetime of performing, will be at your disposal. I book the most experienced musicians in Chicago specializing in Flamenco, Spanish Guitar, Jazz, Brazilian Jazz, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Irish musicians, you name it!
We always arrive early, dressed and well rehearsed, with state of the art sound systems.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me, for a free consultation. I would love to help you put together the right musical touch for your big day!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 10, 2023•From Long Grove, IL
I was looking for a guitarist for my daughters wedding. Martin had a vision of what was needed for my daughters wedding. He suggested that 2 players would sound better than one.
The two guitarists he sent (Hector and Thomas) were amazing. One even did vocals. Thomas has a beautiful voice. They were extremely professional and on time. Everything went exactly as was planned and promised.
The experience in dealing with Martin and his performers was absolutely perfect. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for that extra touch in making their event special. Martin is just a complete professional.
Martin Metzger:
Thank you so much for the kind review, Fernando! It was a pleasure to work with you, and supply the best musicians for your daughters wedding. It was fun to pick out the right pieces, and I'm so glad that everything went so well. Let's keep in touch, and hopefully we can connect again in the near future. Salud! MartinReview by Elizabeth Y.
Fundraiser•Reviewed on July 23, 2023•From Chicago, IL
Martin was an excellent guitarist and very attentive to details. He was on to off everything before the event and was attune with the guests during the event and even played some special requests. His kindness is forthcoming as is hos talent and experience! Don’t hesitate to book for your event!
Martin Metzger:
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! It was such a pleasure to play for your party! Your backyard is so beautiful, and reminds me of Spain, especially Cordoba. It's wonderful to play flamenco for an audience that not only enjoys Spanish culture, but supports this beautiful art form. Let's do it again soon! Thank you for being such a gracious host!

Wedding•Reviewed on November 4, 2020•From Barrington, IL
Martin and his mate, Hector, were great! So easy to plan with them and set everything up. We had them at a wedding cocktail hour and everybody loved the music and mood. The best part was how independent they are at setting up and doing their job. On that busy day for me, it was nice not having to deal with small details like that. Walking into the hall and hearing the beautiful music was one of the highlights to the day. Thanks!
