Introduction: **I try to provide quality, responsive service, taking the time to understand what the client is looking for. My reviews on TheKnot.com or WeddingWire.com reflect this, and I have won seven straight "Best of Weddings" and 9 straight "Brides' Choice" awards, both based on client reviews. **Experience of over 20 years and hundreds of weddings and other events...restaurants, parties, corporate events. (Thumbtack is a small part of my business, so my "number of hires" here is low). ** Even small events have lots of moving parts, and rarely go exactly as planned. Because of my experience, I can adjust smoothly to whatever comes up and keep your vision intact. **In any event, wedding and non-wedding, it is important to sense the perfect balance of engaging just enough with folks, while still remaining unobtrusive. I know never to make it about me...it's about the people listening. **I like working with my clients. Each couple or client is unique, so the interesting part is finding out their vision for their event, then helping them make the music enhance that vision...every wedding, every event, is different, even after doing hundreds.

Dwight was the guitarist for my Daughter's wedding and did a fantastic job. Dwight is very professional, easy to work with, polite and was quick to put my daughter's mind at ease during the music selection process. Of course, his instrumental accustic guitar music was the perfect touch to a very beautiful wedding, outdoors and in front of a grand lake. Dwight provided a self powered PA system for himself and we were also able to use it for the ceremony itself, which was a real bonus since there was no electrical supply at the wedding location. I strongly recommend Dwight for any occasion where you want to bring in a touch of class and professionalism. His price was very reasonable and his music is outstanding. Thank you for helping to make my daughter's wedding a very memorable one. Nico

Dwight was so easy to work with, our entire team had a great time listening to his music at our corporate event as well. His price is more than fair and he is very responsive and professional, not to mention talented! Would definitely recommend.

Dwight was perfect in every way! At our first meeting he immediately clued into my husbands and my style and guided us through picking the perfect songs for the ceremony and dances-songs that were unique and special to us. He was thorough and addressed many details we had not even considered! Throughout the planning process he was available and knowledgeable, answering any questions I had. On the day of the wedding, he was flexible, professional, and personable creating a very relaxed atmosphere complete with smiles and laughter, which for an uptight bride like me was exactly what I needed! Everybody loved his cocktail hour; we are still getting compliments about his musicality and diverse repertoire! My husband had a special request and surprised me by asking Dwight if he could sing our last dance song instead of playing a recorded version. Dwight gladly played the song and did an amazing job-it was so perfect and unexpected I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! His music created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception; he was truly a perfect fit for our special day!

Dwight is an amazing musician! He made our wedding day! The music for the ceremony and reception were perfect! Dwight's music was absolutely perfect. He had the best attitude and disposition that was just wonderful to work with! Our wedding was pretty untraditional and that left us with some grey areas for moving things along from ceremony to reception. Dwight was so helpful and informative and really helped us navigate the day smoothly. My husband and I cannot recommend him enough!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    DWIGHT’S WEDDING GUITAR SERVICES AND PRICES *MOST IMPORTANT* *Get your date booked early* Even if you don't know exactly what you need or want, once we're booked with a small deposit, the date is yours. It's no problem to add or subtract services as your plans get more definite. There are very few professional wedding guitarists and singers, so we book up fast. Then we'll have plenty of time to put everything together as your plans evolve. "Dwight was fantastic! He was wonderful every step of the way. He was very detailed during the planning process ensuring the music would be perfect for our wedding. He has great energy. He is very flexible, affordable, and a great musician. I'm so glad we chose Dwight!" Prices vary depending on the type of event but typically range from $100 to $500.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Usually we start by scheduling a phone call to be sure it's a good fit. Although sometimes a client is comfortable based on my profile , so we can save time by getting the date booked without a call. Booking involves an electronic signature contract, which can be done in 5 min right on line (no printing/scanning/attaching files/etc.), and a $50 booking deposit through PayPal or Venmo ( you do not need an account). We can always adjust the exact services after the date is booked.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Especially for weddings and memorials, choose someone with experience, and pay attention to the feedback of past clients.
