It was a pleasure working with Christian on a dinner party at Allied Arts. He is very talented, professional, and friendly. I would definitely hire him again.
Christian is a breathtakingly incredible guitarist. He played our wedding ceremony and it was the cherry on top for the event. He worked with us before hand on the song list and guided us with his expertise. We couldn’t recommend Christian more!!

Without hesitation, I would highly reccomend Christian Laremont as a Classical Guitarist for an event! First, he was quickly responsive to an informational inquiry - unlike other musicians who never responded to my inquiries. On day of event, Christian was professional in every way - on time and adaptable to the setting and event. For example, he had the insight to move his seating to an area which would maximize people being able to hear and injoy the music even more. Christian's an extremely skilled, talented and accomplished Classical Guitarist who performed both light Flameco and Classical music to enhance a work Retirement garden setting celebration with a lovely background music ambiance. People were able to easily talk, and yet with the added layer of Christian's lovely music to enhance the setting. Christian's positive "Vibe" came thru clearly in both his
concientious informational preparation and the beautiful music he provided.

Christian played guitar at my parents' memorial mass. All I can say is that it was the best part of the day. With almost no direction, Christian played music that totally fit the mood and venue. I made one request and he learned the song just for our event! I can't praise him enough. 10 out of 10. I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely ask him to provide music at any future events. Christian, thank you so much!!!

Christian arrived a little early, which was perfect. He made a marvelous first impression which carried through the evening. His music was absolutely beautiful and he even played a special song for our 50th anniversary. He was a surprise for my husband who loves live music and was grumpy during the day about how the music would be handled. He was thrilled to meet Christian and ecstatic when he started playing. If you are ever deciding between two muscians for an event, choose Christian. He was wonderful! His playing took our 50th Anniversary to another level of lovely!!! Thank you so much Christian!!!

Christian was amazing...he arrived on time and played beautiful guitar music for over 3 hours. We hosted an outside dinner party for string musicians for a local music festival and the founder of the festival was very impressed with his playing.
Christian was also quick to reply to any communication or questions I had. I will definitely keep Christian in mind for future events.
