His music playing was excellent, and his communication in the lead-up to the wedding was superb. He arrived early to set-up and was very polite and professional.

Can any classical guitarist play my favourite song?

You can view the classical guitarist's song list on their Encore profile.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our classical guitarists are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our classical guitarists will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
