This was the second time I hired Tom for my corporate event, and he was again, fantastic! Tom's music is beautiful as the main event or as a supplement to the overall ambiance of your social event. I can't recommend him enough!

Dr Rohde was truly wonderful! He arrived early to get set up, he was very friendly, very accommodating, and the music he performed sounded amazing. Everyone truly enjoyed having him there. We would absolutely use him again in the future and would definitely recommend him.

Our event ended up in a much smaller room than we expected - it was packed with lots of bodies, warm, and there was lots of chatter. Tom did a fantastic job selecting the right music and playing at the appropriate volume. Several of our guests remarked on how nice the music was and how nicely it added to our events ambiance. We'll be back for another even t in October and hope to book Tom again!

Tom was terrific to work with: dependable, accommodating, and talented. He played music at our wedding, including three special requests that were not part of his usual repertoire. He performed them terrifically and was also very friendly. Definitely recommend hiring Tom!

Wedding•Reviewed on May 27, 2022•From Richmond, VA
Tom drove 2+ hours to play at our intimate (14 people) wedding ceremony w/ cocktail hour, dinner, etc. He was fantastic in every way -- very responsive to email, was willing to learn two songs to play for us, incredibly talented. It gave our wedding the exact vibe we were hoping for; I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 15, 2018•From Frederick, MD
Tom was an absolute pleasure to work with. He provided an extensive list of songs that he is proficient in and was open to many suggestions. I requested he learn a new song from my culture and he learned right away in less than a month. He met with me on the phone and responded quickly to emails. He arrived at the venue very early. Everyone loved his music. He knows how to play and is a true artist. Please consider him for your event! He is very special!

Wedding•Reviewed on May 21, 2017•From Newport News, VA
I listened to a lot of guitarists but the minute I heard Tom's playing I knew he was the right person for my daughter's wedding. He was so professional and his playing was pure heaven. We had a small family wedding of about 30 and many things became very last minute like who sits where, who walks when and with who, basic stuff. Tom knew exactly when and what to play and he just moved seamlessly from the outside ceremony to the indoor dinner and cake cutting. Tom never missed a beat. If you want someone who is friendly, professional and plays the most beautiful music then Tom Rohde is the must! I wish I could give him 10 stars!

Tom's the best! A pro from beginning to end. And, of course, a top notch musician. We had him play during cocktails before and after our wedding ceremony in a cozy restaurant in Alexandria VA. He was perfect for the setting, and we loved his Spanish and Brazilian repertoire. Wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend. Great guy and superb musician. Don't look elsewhere, book him now!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 16, 2016•From Woodstock, MD
We would highly recommend Tom! Communicating and coordinating with him prior to the wedding was hassle-free and simple. He was very obliging and put together an arrangement of a modern song I wanted to use for the processional, he even gave us the sheet music afterwards! He played beautifully and is obviously a very talented musician, and the pieces he selected for the prelude to our ceremony and cocktail hour were perfect.

Tom was amazing! He played a truly amazing mix of Classical and Spanish music. The elegance his music added to the ambiance of the wedding and cocktail hour created a magic atmosphere which all the guests complimented us on. We were really happy to have him play at our wedding and would recommend him to others without hesitation.

Engagement Party•Reviewed on April 20, 2015•From Washington, DC
Tom is a gentleman and focused professional. He played at my surprise engagement party to the delight of the entire crowd. Also, Tom is eager to learn new music in his style. I asked him to learn a few songs that my fiancé would enjoy and I gave him a couple of samples. However, he went out of his way to learn 7 songs and played them masterfully. He was incredible. Thank you Tom making my engagement even more special.

Tom was wonderful. He was extremely organized before the wedding, reaching out to us to make sure we had all of our music picked out and to accomodate any special requests. The day of, he was great as well - we didn't have to worry about anything with him. He was on time, played exactly what we wanted, and most importantly, he's just extremely talented. We received a lot of compliments on how perfect and classy the music was. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Thanks so much Tom!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 27, 2013•From Arlington, VA
Using Tom Rohde was one of the best decisions we made in the planning our wedding. He was gracious enough to bring a microphone for us to use during the wedding ceremony and hook it up to his amplifier. He also allowed us to choose our own songs for the wedding ceremony that were not in his normal repertoire and made his own great arrangements of these songs! I got numerous compliments about Tom Rohde during and after the wedding. Also, communication was great during the entire process, as we exchanged many emails. I highly recommend him!

Absolutely amazing. Tom learned all of the songs we wanted and played them exquisitely! My husband is in the music industry as well and he was blown away.
Tom and his guitar definitely made our wedding one of a kind and so special. Everyone commented on how well he performed. He exceeded all of our expectations and his professionalism stood out above all of the vendors we hired.
Love,
Chris and Emily

Wedding•Reviewed on March 11, 2013•From Berlin, MD
Tom played at my wedding this past weekend in the Easter Shore. He was so amazing I can't even put words into how incredible he was. If he is available for your event I would book him fast. He is responsive, accomodating, professional and kind. Most of all he is an absolutely AMAZING guitarist. I asked that he play a the love song from Cinema Paradisio and he had to take the piano piece and write it for the gutair. It was perfect. He made a copy of the music he wrote and signed it for us.
He helped make my wedding special & personall with just the right tenor of music. He also played for the first part of our reception as well.
I highly recommend

Art Gallery Opening•Reviewed on October 18, 2012•From Washington, DC
I made great efforts to search for a classical guitarist for an opening reception in Touchstone Gallery, Washington, D.C. in October, 2012. Not until I heard the sample of Tom Rohde's artistry on the Gigmasters site, I stopped searching. I recommend Tom Rhode whole-heartedly for his superior musicality as well as his musicianship. His work ethic was impressive. No worries about late arrival. He is cultivated and polite with wonderful personality. In short, in addition to his excellent skills, he has uncommon qualities. Amazing! all in one!! He also has a broad repertoire, and he respects his client's wishes. He is someone the client cannot find fault with.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on December 1, 2012•From Cambridge, MA
Tom was simply fantastic. He was incredibly professional, very accommodating, and superbly talented. Our guests (including my Brazilian mother) raved about him and his performance during our outside cocktail hours. We hope to have the opportunity to hire him again sometime soon. Thank you for the wonderful memories Tom!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 18, 2011•From Provincetown, MA
Thomas made our wedding day very special. We hired him to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. He worked with us to select pieces for the processional and recessional, but we gave him free reign beyond that to select other music for before the ceremony and afterwards, and he was magnificent. He captured the mood just perfectly. Very much a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and we would very highly recommend him for your event.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 15, 2011•From Providence, RI
Tom is completely great. He communicated with me before the event, took time to find out specific pieces we wanted him to play, was super professional and reliable, and played BEAUTIFULLY! Tom was a special addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour - I'm so glad we found him via this site. If you are researching guitar players and are thinking about contacting Tom, DO IT! I promise you will be extremely pleased.
