Anniversary Party•Reviewed on February 26, 2024•From Chalfont, PA

Keith was wonderful! We arranged a private dinner for our parents' 50th anniversary and hired Keith to provide music for the event. Keith was fantastic -- he made the entire process from booking through the end of the event extremely easy. Keith was a consummate professional in his presentation and communication. The music was excellent all evening and all the guests enjoyed it. I would definitely hire Keith again for an event and you should too!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 17, 2023•From Princeton, NJ

Dr. Keith Calmes was played at our wedding reception and truly made it special for all our guests. We hired him last minute, and he was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. His playing is effortless, musical, and sincere, and you can feel his love for performing. Total professional. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 7, 2023•From Wayne, PA

Dr. Keith Calmes was absolutely wonderful. He was so easy communicate with and continued prompt responses whenever there were questions. We had even changed one of our songs last minute and he was more than happy to learn and play the song. He played through out ceremony and cocktail hour and we could not have been more happy. We would recommend Dr. Keith Calmes for anyone who is looking for a warm, calm, acoustic guitar vibe for any event. We could not have been happier with him.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 28, 2023•From Essington, PA

Dr. Keith was a consummate professional and played beautifully for our afternoon garden style party. I would hire him again and his playing style fit perfectly with the surroundings. He was also unassuming and didn’t require an audience’s attention which was what I asked for. Played beautiful background music for our party. Mostly classical, classic rock and reggae songs. All instrumental, no vocals.

Dr. Keith Calmes was an absolute pleasure to work with and the perfect guitarist for our outdoor garden ceremony. He was extremely open and willing to learn all of our requests, was quick to respond e-mails and was overall very easy to work with. He is extremely talented! Our guests raved about his music even after the wedding! I would highly recommend him for any event.

Review by Donna V.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 23, 2015•From Merion Station, PA

I was very delayed in selecting a musician for our ceremony music, but not only was Keith quick in response, but super talented as well. I also knew very little about song selection, so I left most of it up to him- and he choose wonderfully, from experience. The day of, he was great and helped make our wedding day perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend him!

Review by Lauren F.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 17, 2015•From New Egypt, NJ

He was perfect. He played 8 songs we requested. He played while the guests were arriving, during the wedding procession/recession and during cocktail hour. It was a personal touch for us and it was the perfect mix of entertainment and background music. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He made our perfect day that much better.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 8, 2015•From Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

Dr. Keith Calmes did an outstanding job as a classical guitarist at our wedding ceremony. He and I spoke on the phone a few times before the wedding and exchanged a few emails. He was extremely prompt and friendly. We booked him at the last minute (within 2 weeks) and he even learned a new song for us for the processional which he played beautifully. So many people have commented on how much they enjoyed his playing, especially while the guests were entering. He came early, set up his gear, and started playing on time; it was all seamless. It was the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony that set it apart from others. I would highly recommend Dr. Keith Calmes.

Cocktail Party•Reviewed on April 20, 2015•From Philadelphia, PA

Keith really stepped up in a pinch. We didn't know we would need cocktail hour entertainment until just a few weeks before our wedding. Keith responded promptly to our bid request, showed up on time on the day of the event, and did his thing like a true professional.

Review by J M.

Wedding•Reviewed on December 9, 2014•From Whitehouse Station, NJ

Keith demonstrated great professionalism throughout the entire process from the booking right up to the day of the event. He was very accommodating with preparing song requests for the performance, further displaying his attention and care to the client's needs. He is obviously a very skilled guitarist/performer and I would not hesitate recommending or booking him again!

Keith played acoustic guitar during our wedding ceremony. The music was gorgeous and he was able to play all of the songs my husband and I requested. The guests enjoyed the music and were able to make out each song that he played. We would highly recommend Keith.
