Katherine L. says, "James Wengrow was the guitarist, MD, and producer for the music of my wedding last fall. From the initial consultation to the very last dance, James made sure the process for hiring our wedding band was simple, seamless and made for an incredible reception. His experience and knowledge was recognizable from our the first call — we had our reception at a gorgeous, spacious museum with over 200 guests. He made multiple recommendations about the set list, the number of musicians, sound engineers, equipment, etc. throughout the process and was transparent about expectations and costs the whole time. He did a ton of research to find what would be best for us, sourced everything and kept us filled in every step of the way which was hugely reassuring. He also took into account our preferences for music genres and made sure the set list and instruments reflected our tastes. James expertly organized the band—all highly talented musicians—who played jazz standards in guitar/bass/drums format for the cocktail hour and then a full band playing pop, rock, and R&B hits from multiple decades for the main event. The singer, Leah Rich, was incredible, and James' impressive skills on the guitar were also noted by many guests - he was absolutely shredding! The music was amazing and had everyone dancing, and we had so many compliments from our family and friends about how awesome the band sounded. James also went above and beyond during two snafus—one, by keeping us on schedule for our first dance when our event coordinator dropped the ball, and second, by adjusting the setlist on the fly when there was a medical emergency AND then by keeping the mood up—his adaptability and professionalism were huge assets when things went awry. I’m not over-exaggerating when I say our night was perfect in no small part due to James & the amazing band — he was truly the best, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to book a stellar group for their wedding/any other event!!"See more

Anna B. says, "I have been taking lessons from Payton for a few months now and I've had a great experience with him as my guitar teacher. I'm a complete beginner, but he's been super easy to learn from and always takes the time to explain things thoroughly and in different ways so you could find what works best for you. He does a great job balancing teaching the basics and techniques while also making time to work on what you want to learn and play. I've improved a lot with his lessons, way more than I would have on my own. I would recommend him if you are looking to learn or improve your skills, especially if you are a beginner, because he can guide you and correct your technique so you don't form bad habits early on. He's super supportive and encourages you to push yourself. At my first lesson I didn't have picks yet so he gave me two to keep which was really kind. I've really enjoyed learning from Payton and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive guitar instructor."See more

Chris S. says, "Paul has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I’ve been receiving lessons for 4 months now and my playing and confidence has skyrocketed, Pauls easy going attitude along with his wealth of knowledge and ability to have the insight to see how YOU learn and tailor his methods to best serve you. I have nothing but gratitude and good things to say about Paul, and if you’re someone like me on the fence about getting lessons, Paul won’t let you down."See more
