I simply love what I do, and it shows. I specialize in a completely live, single-guitar fusion of bass, melody, and rhythm with zero backing tracks or loops. By commanding the full sound of a band through one guitar, I am completely free to roam and physically move through the crowd. This allows me to engage directly with your guests in real time. From spontaneous conversations while playing to intimate sing-alongs and requests, the music becomes entirely guest-centered, not performance-centered. This is an interactive, premium standard I refuse to compromise or dilute for cocktail hours and dinner receptions at modern weddings. I also specialize in performing for private celebrations and corporate gatherings. One of my best events I've performed came from a reception dinner, put together by Citigroup—and in the event industry, it's important that clients trust their vendors immensely. For Citigroup to put their trust in me to deliver a high-quality, impactful, solo guitar experience, means that you can trust me to the same.

Rudy's Reviews

5 out of 5

Rudy was truly one of the highlights of our entire day. From the very first note at cocktail hour, he created the most incredible atmosphere — upbeat, fun, and perfectly tailored to our crowd. Guests were instantly drawn in, and the energy he brought to the reception set the tone for such a joyful celebration. During dinner, he shifted seamlessly into beautiful music that felt elevated and intimate without overpowering conversation. The versatility and talent he brought to every moment was beyond impressive. What we loved most was how interactive he was with our guests — taking requests, engaging with the crowd, and making everyone feel part of the experience. So many of our friends and family commented on how much fun they had with him! If you’re looking for a musician who can read the room, elevate the vibe, and truly entertain, he is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our wedding day. 🎶✨

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

There's two things: one, my performances are guest-centered, meaning I use music as a guide to encourage sing-alongs, talk with guests directly, and create intimate moments. Second, they absolutely love my playing style, which is fusing bass, melody, rhythm, and harmony on one guitar. This is the core of my business.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

As I am based in South Florida, I've performed at venues such as Marriot Marquis, Casa Ylang Ylang, Secret Gardens Miami, the Glass Venue, Briza on the Bay, the Colonnade, and Hotel Colonnade.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I love Tommy Emmanuel, Andy Mckee, and Mike Dawes. Those three are my top three influencers.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Most high profile gig I've performed would be the Boca Bacchanal. It is widely considered a high-profile, premier event in South Florida. It stands out as one of the most prestigious South Florida premier events. These exclusive dinners are usually hosted in stunning private homes and resorts.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

No problem. I can happily accomodate. I always communicate to my clients that I am as flexible as can be. All I want is to ensure that your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly, just let me know in advance. In the past, I've had performance times change days before an event with no issues.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. In between my sets, I always play background music through my speakers to ensure that the energy of the room stays alive. Thankfully, even when I'm away, I can control the music volume from a distance via my phone. As far as a DJ service, I cannot provide this service at this time.

How much time do you need to set up?

Although the set up itself only takes around an hour, I always arrive between two and three hours every event to ensure a seamless setup. I find that by arriving a couple hours earlier despite an hour only setup, it eases the mind of all vendors. This also accomodates for delayed traffic times, especially in South Florida.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set lists are crafted from numerous performances and learning what works best to ensure guests are engaged and having amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event. Sometimes, clients do request a certain genre or theme for an overall aesthetic.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Of course! The day before any event, I always troubleshoot all of my equipment for functionality and optimization. This includes my acoustic guitar, BoseL16Pro, and Sennheiser EW-D. I then load it all into my car and triple check that everything I need is in and accounted for.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If there is a special song you'd like me to create a full guitar arrangement of, I would be more than happy to do it for you, although there is an extra fee of minimum $200 for this service to take into crafting, arranging, and perfecting the arrangement itself.
