We hired Guy for our evening entertainment at our wedding in August 2022 and couldn’t have asked for a better person for the job. We actually hired Guy after attending a friend’s wedding in September 2021, where we really impressed with both his voice and guitar skills! Our first dance was Lionel Richie - Easy which is a really sentimental song for my husband and I. We asked Guy if he could learn this for us instead of playing the track for our first dance and we both nearly cried when he played it. It was even better than the original and meant so much to us that he went to the effort to learn this for us. The music choices all night were spot on and in line with our likes and dislikes and the dance floor was filled all night. Guy was also really professional - setting up in plenty of time and we spoke to him quite a bit before the wedding day too. Communication was great! We can’t recommend Guy enough and have been recommending him to all our friends it weddings coming up! But he would be great for any event, not just weddings.
