Jason did an amazing job performing for our corporate reception. He was very professional during the planning process and did such a great job with very little direction. I would definitely book him again!

Jason is an excellent musician who has incredible skills with a guitar! He made my marriage proposal very romantic and my fiancé loved the music while we were having a private dinner for two. Jason was VERY easy to work with and he communicated promptly during the scheduling process. I would highly recommend him and I will use his talents again in the future if the occasion arises! Thanks Jason!

Jason was personable, professional, and showed up at the time requested. He serenaded our dinner party of three and did his best to accommodate requests. He has a wide mix of styles and songs and also did some sing along songs. No complaints. The price was right.

Once I heard Jason Hobert - Professional Guitarist play, I couldn’t imagine anyone else filling the role at our wedding. He stands out against all other options and his music is nothing short of magical!
Jason resides in Tampa, but was willing to travel to Deland to play instrumental guitar during our wedding (acoustic) and our cocktail hour (acoustic and electric) and he then MC/DJed for our reception. Jason was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process and when it came time to decide which songs to play during the ceremony, Jason was extremely helpful in guiding us. He even agreed to learn two songs that were special to us—both played at our ceremony! In fact, I was so excited about hearing Jason play, I insisted on hiding behind a door 15 minutes before I would walk down the aisle just so I could secretly listen! I didn’t want to miss a chord!
Beyond his incredible talent, Jason is an absolute professional. He arrived early, stayed beyond his scheduled time and was incredibly personable—both to our guests and also our other vendors! Jason creates fans wherever he plays! In fact, he is the winner of Wedding Wire’s “Couple’s Choice Award”, which means he is in the top 5% nationally reviewed musicians!
Jason is beyond talented! I just cannot rave enough about how incredible he is. We felt lucky to snag him for our wedding and we recommend him to others without hesitation! He’s a class act and we hope we have the opportunity to hear him play again soon!

Jason played at our wedding. We found Jason online and after doing some research on YouTube, he seemed like the perfect fit for our small outdoor wedding ceremony. Jason has a wide range of songs perfect for any occasion...he was accomodating to special requests, made great suggestions and clearly loves what he does! Would highly recommend Jason!
Guitarist
Jason was great! He got back to me quickly and learned some songs for my wedding. Then, when we had a mishap with the sound system, he offered to leave his until the reception was finished (even though his contracted time was up). His ability to play the guitar is fabulous, and his sound fit in perfectly with my beach wedding. He's a quality guy and a great musician. I'd highly recommend him!
