Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 8, 2019•From Richmond, VA
Tom was the last person I saw before walking down the aisle at my wedding. It was a kind face to see. But more over he provided great ambiance for our cocktail hour. And his communication leading up to the event was excellent and prompt. Having Tom play was a great addition to our wedding day. Thank you, Tom!

Tom was excellent for our professional association cocktail networking event. He's talented, professional and flexible. The type of music he provides makes the atmosphere a little festive, but does not interfere with the networking function of the event. I am an event planner with 25+ years of experience.

Tom was professional, and sounded amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer backdrop for our wedding. He played both the ceremony and the reception, and exceeded our expectations. Glad we went with Tom!

Tom played beautifully for our ceremony, his music layered in expertly. He was very accommodating by learning several songs for us in a short amount of time that he played quite well. He also coordinated with a friend of ours who wanted to play violin, going above and beyond. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. We highly recommend him.

This is the second time we have had Tom play at one of our events and just like last time, he was fantastic! We would highly recommend him to play for your event.
Tom is professional, arrived early and played great music!
Thank you, Tom!!!!

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!

Not only Tom is one of the finest and kindest person, but his music is just so pure and beautiful. All my guests had only compliments about Tom. Everyone was just impressed how talented Tom is and again, how such a professional, discreet, and delightful person he is. Tom, thank you so much!

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.

Amazing professional and musician! We loved having Tom be a part of our wedding day by playing before the ceremony, during the processionals, and during cocktail hour. He accommodated every request (playing 3 specific songs during the ceremony and lots of bossa nova and classical guitar otherwise) and was a joy to work with. thanks!
Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 3, 2015•From Adamstown, MD
Tom Rohde played Brazilian classical guitar for 65 people celebrating the 50th Anniversary of serving in the Peace Corps in Brazil. Tom is one of those men who is worthy of being referred to as "a gentleman and a scholar". Beside his deep knowledge and musical skills with various instruments, he speaks easily in English and Portuguese about the history of Brazilian music of all kinds and how they relate to compositions of the grand masters of Europe and other composers throughout the world. Tom is a charming, handsome, talented family man who has devoted his life to Latin music. He is presently pursuing a PhD in music. I highly reccommend Tom to all... John W.
