Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 17, 2014•From Virginia Beach, VA
My husband and I used john Baldwin's services for our wedding ceremony and he blew us away. He has amazing talent, learned a new song for the bride processional, and gave great suggestions for music selections. He is amazing! I highly recommend him to anyone for their event, he charges less than what he is worth!

John was perfect! He and I communicated very well before the event. We both had clear understandings of the party and the overall plans. He showed up early to set up. He was very professional in all of our dealings.
Now, for the real info. John is very talented. His music selection was perfect. A mix of 80's to today. He has a great voice and such ease in his delivery. He was great background music for the cocktail hour and dinner. Then when we could dance and really enjoy his music. He was perfection. During breaks, he accommodated our kids and their requests for some dance music (they are 10, so they wanted line music and What does the fox say)"

John helped us out after we had our guitarist fall through. He was prompt, professional, and willing to work with us on learning new songs and making the event great! He was very easy to work with and I would recommend him to others.

We found John Baldwin when we were looking for an acoustic guitarist for our winery wedding. John had the perfect playlist to begin with, and when he heard our processional and recessional songs, he was enthusiastic to play a mixture of country rock and acoustic rock for our event. I loved walking down the aisle to his rendition of 'She is Love' by the Parachutes. During the ceremony, I was able to hear him softly strumming his guitar which added an especially lovely touch to the gentle breeze and fragrant flowers that I experienced as I shared my vows. My only regret is that I did not get to hear more of him as I was busy during the cocktail hour taking photos.

What a talented performer!! He was awesome -- everyone at the wedding commented on how great he was. Such a vast range -- he had something for everyone's taste and he read the crowd well. We would highly recommend him for any event you are having!
Thanks John for making the wedding, cocktail hour and reception special!!!

John did an amazing job at our wedding -ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He was willing and able to learn any songs we requested. John was extremely easy to work with and always returned emails/phone calls in a timely manner. Our turnout was a little smaller than we anticipated, yet he still had almost everyone out on the dance floor. He by far exceeded our expectations, and I would recommend him to anyone throwing pretty much any kind of party. He played classical guitar for the ceremony, beachy music for our cocktail hour, and rocked out our reception -the guy really can do it all!

John was so accommodating for a last-minute request to play at a client's wedding! He learned a specific song with a special style request! He arrived on time and was always in communication prior to the wedding day! I would recommend John, again! Thank you so much!
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 2, 2012•From Leesburg, VA
John performed for my husband's surprise 40th birthday party. We had an audience with broad taste and I received so many compliments on John. Everyone wanted to know where I found him! He has an awesome talent, great voice and has a song list that encompasses a little of everything. I would recommend him for weddings, parties, BBQ's, etc. If I am ever in need of entertainment again, John will be my go to man. He was very professional, arrived to the venue an hour early and was very accommodating to any of our requests. This was my first time hiring someone off the internet, other than my wedding, and I was not disappointed. John was a pleasure to work with!!

John Baldwin is a talented guitarist and singer and was perfect for our party. He was very professional and responsible throughout the whole event process (before, during and after the event). I was so thrilled that my friends enjoyed him as much as I did. I had so many comments, asking how I found him, and how good he was. I would highly recommend John for your event. He was so easy to work with and eager to please the crowd, which he did.

We were very pleased with the music at our ceremony played by John Baldwin. He is a very talented musician, who was very accommodating with my musical requests and even learned a song for our ceremony. He even plays the ukulele and played my favorite song for my walk down the aisle. He was very responsive to all my emails and even called to check on me a few weeks before our ceremony! We would definitely recommend him to friends and family for their next event! You wouldn't be disappointed if you book John! He was a pleasure to work with and we were very happy we chose him!

We hired John to come play for us at our parents vow renewal/35th wedding anniversary and I have to say that I couldn't have been happier with how everything worked out! John was awesome and played everything we wanted to hear right down to my parents song they had playing at their wedding 35 years ago! John was very professional, extremely accommodating, more than happy to work with us on a the little details, and we would not hesitate to hire him again! I would strongly recommend John to anyone looking to celebrate and remember a special day or event!!!

John is a fantastic performer who I would recommend for any type of function. He showed up a little early and stayed a little later, and despite a nasty thunderstorm where we had to relocate him and our guests, our evening was quite enjoyable. Great job John!!! We will definitely remember to book you for our next shindig!
