Review by Daren A.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 21, 2011•From North Stonington, CT
Tom was exceptional. From the moment we first made contact via email and later by phone, he was accomodating, helpful and very polite. He even agreed to do a rendition of a special, non classical song for us and worked hard to make a special arrangement. His playing was superb. He played all our favorites and had a marvelous technique. Having Tom was a perfect addition to our wedding and helped to make it special.

Thomas created just the ambiance we were seeking. He is highly talented AND a pleasure to work with. I did not need to worry about a thing with him -- and that is a gift to the event host or hostess! Thank you, Thomas.

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.

Perfection!
We had a very relaxed idea in mind for our ceremony and Tom was a perfect fit. With the exception of a couple songs (which he gladly learned) we just let Tom use his discretion on extra pieces to fill the time with and he did so perfectly. He picked a theme for additional music, called ahead of time to put us at ease, and was negotiable on location and setup. I honestly have no negative comments to make on Tom, just book him already!

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.

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.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on January 7, 2011•From Sharon, MA
We hired Thomas to play flamenco guitar for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He did a phenomenal job! Thomas worked with me beforehand to select the perfect songs, took special requests, and was always prompt and professional in his emails and over the phone. The day of the wedding he arrived early to set up and made a special point to thank us for hiring him to be a part of our special day. He played beautifully and we received many compliments from our guests. Thank you for a unique and beautiful experience, we loved having you!

Thomas' performance was very well-received by all the party attendees. He's a truly talented and passionate performer. We'd rehire him in a heart-beat.

Thomas was wonderful. Every single guest commented on the high quality of the music and enjoyed his selections. He worked with us prior to our wedding to select the best songs for each part of the ceremony. He also downloaded the music and learned to play the song we requested for our first dance! (You are the Sunshine of my Life.) He's very professional as well. Can't say enough good things!

Cocktail Party•Reviewed on October 12, 2010•From Sandwich, MA
Tom was AMAZING! All of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed his playing & how good he was. He learned two Nick Drake songs for our processional & recessional and when I heard him start to play them, I got chills because they sounded soo perfect (they are special songs for my husband & i). Tom came early to set up/tune, & communicated/coordinated with me prior to the event to ensure he had all the contacts & info he needed so i did not have to worry on my wedding day. If you don't hire Tom for your event, you're crazy!!
He is a true talent, nice guy, and professional. I would give him an 11 if possible! Thank You Thank You Tom~you did such a great job! :)

We hired Tom for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we couldn't be more pleased! We were in touch 2-3 times prior to the wedding to confirm all details and music selections, and we heard so many positive comments from our guests on the day of the wedding. Thanks Tom!

We would highly recommend Tom for anyone looking for a talented guitarist! Tom played at our wedding this past weekend and it was beautiful! The melodies he played during our ceremony and cocktail hour were wonderful. Everyone was asking us about his information. Besides the excellent performance he gave, he also set time to meet with us prior to the wedding. He was very engaged and played samples of several melodies so that we could pick our favorites. It was a pleasure having him at our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better performer.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on August 11, 2010•From Hanson, MA
Tom Rohde played during the ceremony and cocktail hour of my wedding. His playing was beautiful and added just the right ambiance that we were looking for. I only wish that I could have listened to more of his music, since we were taking pictures during most of the cocktail hour. He was very professional, arriving early to set up and go over his cues. Before the wedding, he sent us a list of suggested pieces to choose from, which made it very easy since we didn't have anything particular picked out already. I'm sure he would have been accommodating if we did. I would highly recommend him.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 11, 2010•From Boston, MA
One of our best decisions was hiring Tom to play at our wedding. He was extremely professional and organized leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he arrived and set-up on time and played beautifully. Many of our guests specifically commented on how much they enjoyed the music Tom played. We would highly recommend Tom for all future events.

We had a wonderful experience with Thomas. He always responded quickly to any communication and had great recommendations for our event. We even asked him to do a random vocal accompaniment and he made it work seamlessly. I would highly recommend him for his professionalism and talent!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 7, 2010•From Portsmouth, RI
Tom was an amazing addition to our wedding, his music made our ceremony absolutely unforgettable. I asked Tom if he would play Harvest Moon by Neil Young while my father walked me down the aisle. Not only did he agree to learn and play it, he played it so beautifully and adapted it a bit for his style of guitar. Our guests raved about Tom's talent. He was so accommodating and easy to work with, it made the wedding planning process that much easier knowing I had a great musician to work with. Our wedding would have been incomplete without Tom!

Tom is absolutely amazing. He is professional, kind and so very talented. He plays with ease and grace. Everyone at our wedding commented on how wonderful he was. He was very helpful in choosing just the right musical pieces for the ceremony and cocktail hour. For our wedding, Tom played Spanish and Latin pieces to complement the Spanish theme. Incredible job. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a classical guitarist. When I have another event that warrants live music, I will definitely be giving Tom a call back. A+! Thanks, Tom! You made our wedding day that much more memorable.

Thomas was the best addition to our Spanish-themed party. In the words of our guests, he made the event "magical." Very professional, accommodating, and wonderfully talented.

Mr. Rohde is a virtuous guitarist and a scholar in Brazilian music. He performed and lectured at very high level.
