Chris Richter is a classical guitarist from Dallas, Texas. With a unique repertoire of music spanning traditional classical pieces to modern popular music, he has performed throughout Texas at venues everywhere from house shows to Dallas's legendary House of Blues. He currently performs regularly at several hotels and country clubs as well as doing private events and weddings throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He has also released several albums of music, available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Music, Rhapsody, & more.
We booked Chris to play classical guitar for the guest seating and ceremony at our wedding. Chris is so talented and saved the day after our originally booked classical guitarist stood us up. We received so many compliments on our ceremony music and thanks to Chris, we had the best day ever. Chris is easy to contact and responds quickly. He arrives on time, sets up himself and is more than prepared for any event. We cannot recommend Chris enough!
Nice guy and did a great job playing for a private party as background music of songs you know like Here Comes the Sun. He has a long play list to select from. Will hire him again next year!
Chris played his guitar for our wedding reception.
Everyone loved the song selection and commented
on his talent . Chris was quick to respond from the moment we hired him to completion of our event. I definitely recommend him for any event!
The guitarist was great for our setting

Professional and his performance was a beautiful accompaniment to our Celebration of Life event.

Chris was on time and I think played extra. The music was upbeat romantic inspired and very much added to the reception. So many people gave only positive feedback about the reception and chris was magnificent. I'll use him again at my next opportunity. Thanks Chris.
Chris was great. Once booked, he was quickly responsive to texts, was on time, and he delighted everyone with his music. If you have an event that needs some chill background music, I highly recommend checking out Chris’s availability.
Chris's music and style were great. Everyone at the event complemented the music and song list! Highly recommend
Chris played prelude music for our wedding ceremony. I wanted all classical pieces with few hymns mixed in. Chris was so accommodating and easy to work with. Lots of compliments on the music and the originality of classical guitar for the wedding. Thanks, Chris!!
I hired Chris as a guitarist to perform at a corporate dinner for a group of approx. 80 C-level executives and have heard nothing but great comments. Although only instrumental, Chris created a very relaxed and joyful atmosphere that encouraged networking among my attendees. Great experience!
I highly recommend him for any event - he was gracious and accommodating - so very happy I found him!!!!
His music was the perfect touch to honor my late husband
Chris was excellent. He was prompt and in sync with what was needed to make the experience very enjoyable. There were a few changes and he was able to make them without any hesitation. Many favorable comments from guests. I would highly recommend Chris.
Chris did a fantastic job at our event. He has a wide range of musical styles, and my customers enjoyed the music a great deal.
Very professional and talented. Easy to work with.
