About
I provide music in Acoustic and Classical Guitar for venues such as wedding ceremonies, corporate functions, community events, wedding receptions, anniversary parties, birthday parties/ celebrations, Christmas parties, New Year's Eve parties, etc. Regardless of whether it's a wedding ceremony, a corporate function, or you need the right ambience for a wedding proposal to your longtime girlfriend you can't go wrong with my services.
If you need something to get everyone in a good mood we can have "Wonderful tonight" by Eric Clapton, or maybe Richard Marx's "Waiting for you". If you would like something soothing in Spanish, why not Mana's "Bendita tu luz", or Eros Ramazotti's "Cosa mas bella que tu". Now if you're just seeking something instrumental then we could have either "Greensleeves", or maybe even Pachelbel's "Canon in D". It's all up to you.
I love entertaining people with music. I love being the backbone of the entertainment ambience. I enjoy providing the background music at a party, a wedding reception or what have you. I feel like it's my calling.

Latin Guitar helped make me and my fiancée’s wedding ceremony feel special. He was on time, friendly, and very professional throughout the process. I recommend his services to anyone wanting to add a musical element to their event.

This guy was awesome. Came from two hours away and helped make a very memorable moment before our engagement dinner. 5 stars is not enough to show appreciation for him.

John ran a little late BUT not late for the ceremony. He did not have enough time to perform all the songs I requested before the actual event because he did not have enough time since the ceremony had to start at a certain time. However he stayed and played more music while we took pictures. He played the music I requested PERFECTLY! He was extremely nice and responsive. Professional and a fantastic musician. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR YOUR WEDDING/ RENEWAL NEEDS.
Details: Wedding ceremony • 51 - 75 guests • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • 13 - 17 years old • 12 years old or younger • 18 - 30 years old • Guitar • Other • Outdoors

If you need a guitarist for an event, John is your guy. He played background music for my proposal. Alot of moving parts. He collaborted seamlessly in the background, coming out of the woodwork to make it a surprise. It made the difference. Really set the mood. Professional. Adaptable. Punctual. John set my standard for performance. Book him!

John played for a birthday party with about 30 guests. Everyone loved the music and talked about how good John's singing and guitar playing is. He arrived early for the event, set up and began playing. Highly recommended. We will be calling him again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate will be affected by factors such as distance of travel, returning customers, just to name a few. Along the lines of travel, if your venue is within the Hampton Roads area then there will be "no travel fee". Now along the lines of a "returning customer", the rate for a returning customer will not be the same as a brand new customer: it will be lower. For example if I was to get hired for a two-hr gig just once, the hourly rate I'd charge ($95.00/hr) would be higher than I'd charge if I was hired for 2-hrs per week for a month (would probably charge less than $80.00/hr in this case). We can discuss other deals too.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I find out all the details about the venue besides just the time and place. I need to know, will I need amplification for the venue? If the venue is going to house more than 15 or 20 people then the answer is yes, and then I'll need to bring my amp. Second, if I need my amp, is electricity readily available? Where is the closest outlet to where I'm going to be playing? These are just a few questions that I have before we even get started and there are many more later on in the process of me providing a seamless entertainment service for your venue.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have no formal training in my background. What I do have is over 18 years of experience playing at wedding ceremonies, corporate functions, wedding receptions, cocktail hours, anniversary dinners, etc.
