Testimonials
What people are saying
Since December 2013, Brian Hayes has received 86 testimonials from wedding couples, corporate clients, event planners, and private hosts throughout Central Florida. Here are just a few of their experiences.
Anthony Cerrito“Brian Hayes’ classical guitar performance was exemplary in every aspect. I was completely pleased, as were all of my guests, especially with Brian’s artistry and mastery of the guitar. Some of the guests were left speechless with the level of performance. I would recommend Brian Hayes to anyone with a 100% confidence that total satisfaction would be the result. The last two numbers that Brian performed required mastery of the guitar that is not often experienced – the music touched the audience with a level of awesomeness that will be remembered with fondness for a very long time.
Tiffany Acireale“Brian is absolutely amazing! Having worked with him a few times before, I knew he’d be the perfect fit for the Owl Prowl event at Nehrling Gardens—and he didn’t disappoint! Brian is professional, incredibly talented, and has a special way of connecting with guests. People were raving about his performance and asking when he’d be back. All of us at Nehrling Gardens are so grateful to have someone as dependable and talented as Brian to rely on for our events.
Thank you, Brian, for always delivering a fantastic experience!
Michelle Hill“Brian Hayes performed at our Wedding on November 30, 2024 and did such a magnificent job! His talent of playing classical music on the guitar exceeds perfection! He captivated everyone there and many said that it gave such a smooth & enjoyable atmosphere to the Wedding. I would highly recommend him for any event!
Paige McLean, Office Administrator Safepoint Insurance“It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Brian Hayes for your musical needs. Brian Hayes and our company have had a business relationship for over 7 years. We continue to use his services because he continually does a fantastic job. We thoroughly enjoy his music which is always an asset to our events. Brian is very easy to work with when requesting any paperwork and we always receive it promptly.
Jessica Laurenza Manager, Event Operations & Communication, IPMI“I hosted a corporate event at the Four Seasons Orlando and contacted Brian to be a part of it. Brian was great to work with leading up to the event and even better on-site. He’s friendly, punctual, professional, and the attendees had nothing but positive things to say about him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for soft jazz music for any sort of event.
I hope we can work together again soon & thank you for everything, Brian!
Dan Stewart“Brian Hayes was the consummate professional. From the moment we contacted him about playing at our rehearsal dinner, Brian was honest, and diligent about getting the necessary things in place to have a successful function. Brian knew the drill; he handled everything we needed, pre-event, including Artist’s proof of insurance, contracts, and musical setlist, although that last part is his specialty. Anyone planning an event as large as a wedding weekend knows, the more a vendor can help out with, ahead of time, the better it is for everyone. On the evening of our function, the communication from Brian was clear. He was prompt and had everything needed to begin playing when he said he would. And as for the music, we had many musicians in the room, including a Julliard-trained classical pianist and several guitar players. Everyone was impressed. Even guests who we didn’t know would love this type of music gave us rave reviews about Brian.
I would recommend Brian for a gathering of any size where Spanish or classical guitar is desired, including corporate outings, weddings, and family gatherings. It was a pleasure to have Brian play at our wedding weekend and we would not hesitate to use him again in the Central Florida area.”
Ellen Stafford“Brian and his guitar were the musical accompaniment to my husband’s 60th birthday dinner. Brian is a gifted and accomplished musician with an incredible repertoire of songs. The music he chose to accompany dinner was perfect and his arrangements of some familiar songs were applauded by our guests.
So easy to work with, showed up on time, brought his own gear and most of all sounded wonderful!
Thanks Brian!!
