Thank you Amanda, you were simply fantastic and a wonderful guitarist.
Totally enjoyed Amanda's music. I would recommend her highly to anyone wanting a lovely touch of enjoyment.
I was looking for a classical guitarist for a corporate event in August at the Spa at Norwich Inn to set a gentle ambience at the first night welcome reception. I came across Amanda by chance and am so glad I did. Her highly skilled and emotional playing was complemented perfectly by her professionalism and dedication to her art. My many customers from all over the world all commented upon her music. I would willingly recommend her and would use her again and again.
I hired Amanda to perform at my winery and was amazed at the relaxing and entertaining ambiance she was able to create. While very talented she exudes class and still can connect with her audience which from my experience in past musicians can be a task in itself. I would definitely recommend her for anything big or small. Thank you Amanda!
It's very rare, almost unheard-of that such musicality is accompanied by such personality. I came across Amanda by chance, as she was the performer for a friend's Gallery opening in Hartford. While perusing the different paintings, I noticed a romantic air in the night. It wasn't until I finally came to here podium that I was truly taken aback. Her playing seemed to be more than part of her, and it took everyone watching along with her into the music.
In short, 5/5 stars and I strongly recommend her for any occasion.

"Amanda did an amazing job when I hired her for my wedding. She was prompt in answering my questions and was available to discuss what I wanted for wedding music. Amanda performed classical guitar during my cocktail hour. She brought all of her own equipment and worked professionally with my wedding coordinator. I still get compliments from my wedding guests about Amanda's music. "
