Review by Michael J.
Wedding•Reviewed on June 28, 2014•From Healdsburg, CA
We hired Justin to play our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and our dinner. He was absolutely phenomenal to work with. From early on he accommodated our schedule in planning the song choices and made a few excellent suggestions that we had never heard, but ultimately ended up loving.
Aside from his professionalism, Justin is a very nice guy. By the end of our experience with him, we can legitimately say we were sad to see him go! It felt more like a close (very talented) friend playing for us, rather than a hired guitarist we had never met in person. We would whole-heartedly recommend entrusting Justin with the music of your special occasion.

Absolutely perfect. Justin was friendly, professional, prompt and played our special requests better than we could have imagined. Thank you!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 16, 2014•From Saint Helena, CA
Justin was such a pleasure to work with. From the initial contact and the phone and email conversations before our event. We loved all of the songs he played and his playing style. We even had some 'sing-a-longs' at the end. We had an intimate dinner, outside with friends, on a lovely vineyard property in Napa Valley and having Justin there made it even more special.
I would highly recommend him to anyone.
