Wow! Wow! Exceptional. I will definitely book again for a future event. Seattle Solo Guitar was professional, excellent and truly talented.

Spencer was flexible because I inadvertently gave home the wrong start time, but he took it in stride and played longer. Everyone really enjoyed his performance.

Spencer was lovely to work with! Communication was quick and clear, so booking was a breeze. He arrived early, didn't need much setup assistance, and got to playing right on time. He made the vibe in our community art space really fun and welcoming, he plays the cello beautifully. He's also super friendly and warm, so our event guests and staff really enjoyed his presence. Would highly recommend booking Spencer for your event!

Spencer's music lead our arriving guests as they climbed the hill up into the yard. His cello playing was excellent as well as his selection of music. While playing he warmly chatted with the many the guests who were also musicians and those who had questions or comments. He was easy to work with, came prepared and on time.
Cellist
The guests at our party greatly enjoyed his performance and even asked him to play longer. His music was the perfect fit for our gathering, plus, he is a very nice guy. We would gladly use his services again in the future!

Spencer was early, polite, and played some of the most beautiful music I have hear for my proposal. A true artist who is passionate about his craft.
Spencer is great. He is reliable and skilled. He played guitar for my wedding ceremony and it was perfect. He played songs he had written, which were beautiful and he played cover songs. I didn't do a great job at communicating with him and still did everything perfectly. I got so many compliments from guests, after the wedding, about the beautiful music. I would definitely hire him again!!!

We were so very pleased to have Spencer play his guitar for my daughter’s wedding, in honor of her late father’s love of guitars. His original music is wonderful and he is very accommodating. He even accompanied the bride and her sister playing a flute duet of a Beatles tune. He knows his stuff.

We were thrilled to have Spencer play classical guitar at our daughters birthday. The sound was the perfect backdrop during dinner and our guest thoroughly enjoyed his playing. He was very professional, arrived on time and played his set through the entire time we had him. Spencer is personable, courteous and will add a memorable touch to any of your events.
Spencer played as a guest performer for our Candlelight Church service. He was on time, flexible and worked well with our lead Musician. His playing was very well received by all in attendance and everyone wants him to return and play again. Thank you Spencer!

Spencer was great! His presence really added something special to our event. He was professional and provided the exact upbeat music to fit the mood of the event and enhance the evening. I also loved working through Gigsalad. It was a quick and easy way to locate and book talented musicians in the area. We had a very positive experience and will definitely do it again!

We hired Spencer to play guitar and cello as guests arrived for a 1:00 ceremony, and through the reception. What an amazing treat! Spencer is very talented, highly professional and very friendly. I would use his musical services again, should an event arise.
