Thank you Eric! So many people commented about you as an individual and especially your Wonderful Music!

Eric was amazing!! Great sound, very flexible and accommodating. We had a micro small wedding - and he was perfect. Even our teenage children loved his music. He let our son to play guitar with him! Hire him, you won’t be sorry.
Thank you Eric for helping to make our wedding perfect!

It was an excellent experience, everyone enjoyed Eric and his music

Eric Ray was very, very organized and did a great job of entertaining our attendees at our reception event.
His music selections were exactly what we expected. His talent is clearly of great quality.

Eric was not only super professional and easy to work with but also an amazing musician. I was 1000% satisfied with the job he for me.

Eric was a perfect addition to our birthday celebration. He was versatile in his music selection, catered to both adults and kids and was accommodating on location was weather was uncertain. Thank you, Eric, for making our event a success!

Eric has an amazing voice. We didn’t know what to expect since we did a destination wedding. We have Eric a list of songs to sign and he did an awesome job. Perfect for a small wedding and unique. Thank you Eric so much!!!!!! Shawn and Rosetta

Seamless process and fantastic music :)

Eric was an awesome addition to our garden birthday party! He played the full time , took our requests and the crowd LOVED him! We will definitely have him back! He played a great variety of music!

Eric did a great job with the music and keeping the party going. Would highly recommend him for your next party.

Eric was absolutely amazing! He helped me create a very special moment for my husband’s 60th, a moment we will remember for a lifetime! All my friends and family said they will hire Eric for their next party. I will be hiring him from here on out.

Eric did such a great job! He recognized and monitored the volume so my clients were able to have a conversation, but still his incredible music selection. He is a great musician as well. A great song selection too. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE ASKING ERIC TO COME BACK ANYTIME I HAVE CLIENT APPRECIATE EVENTS OR REALLY ANY PARTY.

Eric was the perfect addition to our wedding. He worked with us as we planned and re-planned our wedding during COVID, always promptly responding to my emails. He is a wonderful singer and a gifted guitarist, we're very happy we picked him.

Eric was professional and a true gentleman. Upon arriving early he got to know our group, the purpose of our gathering and what we wanted to experience. His musical talent was second to none. He could read the crowd taking us melancholy and upbeat and then to dancing. Our event was outside with a little rain and he didn’t miss a beat. He played non-stop the whole event! Such a strong work ethic. He caught the vibe of our group and rolled with it. One of the best party experiences I have ever had. If he meets you genre of music this is about as good as you can get!!! Thank you Eric!

Eric was wonderful for our wedding reception. He played and sang from 6-830 and then entertained our guests with his DJ play list for a while afterwards.

Eric’s voice is amazing! All the guests commented on how great he was. He stuck with all our suggestions and even played one of my mothers favorite songs for her!

I would highly recommend Eric for any event. He was very responsive and professional to work with.

We have overwhelmingly heard how great Eric was. The perfect touch to our ceremony.

This is not our first time hiring Eric and won’t be the last. He always plays a great mix of music tailored to the crowd. Arrives early to set up so he’s playing when guests arrive. He’s a gifted musician was the perfect addition to our holiday party.

We have had Eric at our corporate event for two years in a row. He is professional, kind and a great musician! We can't wait to have him back again!

Eric helped make our house party a huge success. His is an excellent guitar player and singer that engages the entire crowd. We originally hired Eric for a few hours, but he was that great we ended up keeping him longer. Our party would have never been the same had we not hired Eric.

Eric did a great job playing music at our association's annual convention. He was fully very friendly, self-sufficient, calm, laid back, and a true professional. He made suggestions that helped improve the experience for our attendees while still fitting our vision for the event. I appreciated his timely responses and flexibility leading up to the event. I will be contacting him again for any future needs in the Washington, D.C. area and I highly recommend booking Eric for your next event!

Eric really brought the party together his play list was perfect and many of our guest commented on how much they enjoyed the music. He even added some songs from Zack Brown to his playlist because Zack Brown was my wife’s favorite band. I would highly recommend him and he has an easy-going attitude that makes him a pleasure to work with for the event.

Just had Eric for our party of 75 guests - The music he played was perfect! He doesn't know it, yet but he won't be available the 3rd Saturday of June next year because we're having him back!

Everyone really enjoyed the music. Eric played through the heat and kept entertaining. Very professional and he stayed in contact right up to the event. Great experience

Words to describe Eric Ray - dependable (he checked in with me several times throughout the process to ensure we stayed on track), talented (his repertoire of songs was perfect and vast), talented (He played the guitar expertly, sang with feeling and skill and entertained 125+ guest), professional (from our first conversation to our handshake good-bye, Eric was top notch) and maybe the best word of all, kind (Eric is generous, has a good soul, is respectful and kind. He became a part of our "tribe" and we appreciated him for it).

I couldn't be more pleased and thankful to have had the opportunity to have Eric entertain us at a very important event for my family, friends and myself. Thank you Eric. I'm forever indebted to you.

Eric arrived well in advance of our event start time. He was very professional and cordial with all of our guests. Eric can play a wide variety of songs which makes it real nice to comprise a set list. All of our guests spoke very highly of Eric and had a blast of a time! We will be hiring Eric again in the near future!

Hire him! You won’t be disappointed. Greet singer, great guitar player, great mix of songs. He arrived early and was professional all the way. Great guy and will make your event awesome!

Eric Ray performed for my husband's 60th Birthday Party which was wonderful. His list of songs are huge. I also asked for some other as well he did not have on the list and they were outstandingly performed. Professional in every way. Showed up on time, coordinated and communicated with my Event Planner. Smooth evening without a hitch. Event Planner voted #1 in Tampa was very impressed and will be calling on Eric for future events.
Sincerely,
Belva

My now husband & I hired Eric for our intimate wedding; it was the best decision! He not only is incredibly talented (per myself, all of the guests, & the venue coordinator who asked me about him mid-reception), but he also helped make the night so much smoother, figuring out logistics that I hadn't even thought of. This took a lot of stress off! He was very accommodating, personable, & professional.

My husband shared a moment w/me that he said he'll remember forever. He told me that when I walked out in my dress (after we already had our 1st look) & Eric hit that 1st note on his guitar, he began to cry. The image of me w/the sound of the most beautiful music was that overwhelming.

Do yourself a favor & hire Eric!

Eric's selection of music was perfect for our group. The sound level was appropriate during dinner so conversations could take place and I appreciated being about to use his mic to make several announcements throughout the evening. I would certainly consider booking Eric again.

Eric Ray was perfect for our event, providing entertainment that catered to a large variety of ages and musical tastes. I particularly liked his Ukulele numbers. In additional to the typical gig, he spotted some small kids and had them singing and dancing with him. Many folks asked for his contact information. I would recommend Eric Ray as a musician and person.

Eric was just what my son wanted for an intimate proposal for his future bride. He arrived early, adjusted to the weather without any issues and provided the perfect music for the personal occasion. Thanks Eric! We really really appreciate it and we have wonderful memories! I highly recommend you for small or big occasions.

Eric and his daughter were the perfect touch for our special day. He was super helpful not only to create a set list everyone would enjoy but helping mc the event and keep things moving. As a DIY bride with no wedding coordinator it was amazing to have Eric there to help on our big day. They also were super helpful in figuring out the setup and even went out to the venue on their own to scope out what they would need to make our day perfect. On top of it all he was super sweet and easy to communicate with I don’t think I could have dreamt of anything better!

it was just perfect. Everybody in the audience had just good woords about Eric. His very wide music portfolio and the way he play with his guitar is fantastic. Thanks again. Next time i'll do something in the area, i'll call him for sure.

We loved having Eric perform at our hole for my husbands backyard surprise birthday party. Eric was very responsive from the moment I requested a quote, and remained in constant communication until the day of our event and even arrived a little earlier than planned. His song list is extensive and played great tunes throughout the evening. I would definitely recommend or hire Eric again.

Eric played for our beach wedding and delivered beyond our expectations. He arrived early and was set up well in advance. He had prepared original music for us as well as helped select other pieces and knocked it out of the park. He’s well worth your consideration. Beautiful voice.

Eric played at our son’s rehearsal dinner before his wedding as well as the party after the wedding. We must say that the weekend would not have been the same without him. Listening to his clips on line did not do him justice. He far exceeded our expectations! He was professional, accommodating and played right along with the vibe of each party. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting music at their event.

Eric, the group thoroughly enjoyed listening to your music. Mr. Hempston said that your performance was fantastic and that you are a very skilled musician with a huge variety of music that was perfect for the age of our group. He would definitely consider you for future events.

Eric was wonderful!!!!
Fun, talented and made our 50thburthday party perfect!
Thanks again
We will call you sgain😜🍥🍾

Eric was early, professional, friendly, talented, flexible and intuitive to the needs of the event/crowd. He was absolutely everything we were seeking and more. Highly recommend!

Eric was very accommodating and did a nice job at my Mom's 80th birthday party. He plays a nice selection of songs. I would recommend him.

Eric was absolutely wonderful to work with as we planned a post-wedding celebration. He went out of his way to make sure we would be happy with the music - we left it to him to decide on the music - and he did an excellent job! He even brought his daughter to accompany him. Both are extremely talented and we couldn't have been more pleased!

We thoroughly enjoyed having Eric play at our event. He is a fabulous musician. At first our guests didn't realize the music was live because he sounded so much like the original artist. On top of his obvious skill, he is super professional, adaptable and has a keen sense of how to pace things for the event and crowd. NO BRAINER CHOICE!!!

I am pleased with the quality of what you have done with the song, Eric. I'm excited about submitting it, and honestly blessed that I found you. You have been more than helpful; you have been kind, thoughtful, respectful, professional, sincere, skilled, and caring, with excellent communication skills as well as a variety of musical talents.

We found Eric Ray looking online, based on his reviews written by previous happy customers we decided to check out samples of his music on his page. Beyond happy we then hired Eric for our October wedding this year. He was amazing! Guest are still asking about him and commending his work. He set the exact tone we imagined and even more so, guest couldn't help but sing along to his music and started off the night with the right kind of vibe before our ceremony even began.

I would without a doubt hire Eric Ray to play at another event in the future. I truly feel like his presence and performance added a perfect touch to our wedding day.

-Courtney

Eric Ray clearly ..
completely provided the cohesiveness to our Birthday event within the strength of his music.
Highest recommendation.

Eric's performance made our wedding perfect. He provided the perfect balance of background, while the bride entered at the beginning of the ceremony, to performing the song of our first dance. We could not have been more pleased and all our guest were asking us about him. His performance made our wedding the classy event we had envisioned all along. We are very grateful to him and highly recommend him.

Eric was great - highly recommend!!!!!

The best thing we did for our Party was to hire Eric. He was fantastic. Arrived on time , set up as specified. He is extremely talented and everyone was raving about him. Highly recommended! Do your party a favor and higher him.

Eric is awesome! We had a small wedding of about 50 people and he played music for the ceremony, appetizers and reception. He played the exact music that I had in mind and his voice is amazing. He was also able to tailor the music to the response of the crowd (bump it up at the end of the night for dancing). He came out to the venue a week before the wedding to check it out and arrived early the day of the wedding and stayed late. He also answered my mother's million questions. One thing that I never had to worry about during my wedding was the music, because it was perfect. I recieved many compliments from my guests. Eric is flexible, professional, easy to work with and very talented. I highly recommend him for any event!

Eric is a skilled guitar player, which allowed us to have some beautiful acoustic music during the ceremony and transitioned wonderfully to a variety of music during the reception. He learned songs we requested that wasn't on his play list, and truly was a professional during the entire process. We changed some of the plans, had last minute requests, and even some unusual requests, that Eric not only managed, but did so without any issues. I highly recommend Eric whenever you are looking for guitar/singer entertainment.

Eric is fantastic, excellent guitarist, flexible and gave us exactly what we wanted. Oh yeah, and totally nice guy! Thank you Eric!

I don't believe there could have been a better match for our party, than Eric Ray. He arrived early, effortlessly set up, was perfectly dressed and is so very personable...not to mention...what a voice! If your back was turned from Eric while he was playing, you'd swear the original artist was performing, he's that good. I can't tell you how many people came to me and said..."I thought he was on break and had a DVD playing", but it was Eric...a musical chameleon.

I truly do feel that Eric made the party! My husband and I will not hesitate having him again. I believe he would be perfect for just about any type of party...listen to a sampling of his songs, he's awesome!

Tripp and Deanie

Eric's music was the perfect compliment to a great surprise party. 80 guests were dancing and singing along all night. He played a wide variety of genre and even allowed a guest to sing some Joe Cocker. We will definitely have Eric Ray play for our parties and events in the Future.

Our original event was rescheduled due to inclement weather and pushed back a week. Unfortunately our printed materials advertising our event were already posted with the previous date and so at the beginning of his set the turnout was not what it might have been the week before. However, Eric's talent and one-liners in between his songs drew in passersby as our event went on and we ended the night with a good size crowd. I cannot recommend Eric enough, the equipment he brings makes him so much more than one man with a guitar.

Eric was amazing. Not only did he let my daughter join in to sing, he involved the little kids that were at the party. The price is so well worth it that I will definitely be using him again.

His music selection is perfect for any occasion.

Eric was kind, thoughtful, generous and extremely talented. He not only sang, prepared special music, and worked with family members who provided vocals and other support, but he stayed late and kept the party going long after the time he was supposed to have been home with his family! If you are lucky enough to have him provide your wedding or event soundtrack, you will be so very lucky!

Much thanks!

Jen and Jim

Just had the pleaure of his music live at Sparrows Point Country Club- and he made out night!!! So soulful. His vocals are beautiful- just like the original artists- and his own song '26 cents and a week' is great! Hire this man! You'll be singing his praises too!
Steph and Dean

I wish i could throw a party every Weekend just to have Eric play. If you sre looking for someont to song and play for your event Eric is the man for the job.
What a voice.,,,What a talent.,,,,What a fantastic time we had.
Thanks again Eric !

Eric played for over 200 people at a Welcome Reception we hosted at the Loew's Annapolis hotel. I'm pretty sure he wooed everyone in the room with his fun and laid back style and his great song choices. He's also such a really nice guy...very accommodating, with our happiness his main focus. He'll tailor his show just for you. You can't go wrong...he'll make your event all the better for being there.

Eric loves music and it shows. He is very flexible and accommodating and above all he is a professional. From the fist contact to the end of the event you know that you are in good hands. He knows how to read a crowed and keep them engaged. His equipment is also fantastic. You get more than you pay for with Eric Ray, you will not be disappointed.

Eric was just right for our marina opening day party. He showed up early to set up and was pleasant and easy to work with. His equipment was top notch and he made sure everyone was happy with the sound level. Everyone was very happy with the variety of music he played and his obvious talent. I would definitely book him again, he exceeded my expectations
