Chesleigh Eaton

• Chesleigh Eaton - Guitar/Vocals

Chesleigh (Ches) has been performing music since he was a child, and has been doing so professionally for ten years. He has amassed a huge selection of material from virtually every genre, and his set list continues to expand every week. He has a knack for reading the crowd and playing just the right sort of music to fit the style and tastes of the listeners. Everything from easy-listening background music to upbeat, fun, and energetic music. Whatever your needs, Ches will create a set list that's sure to provide the style you're looking for.

If you are planning a wedding, Ches can handle everything including music for the ceremony (even learning music chosen by you specifically for your event) and music for the reception, including a mix of live covers from his extensive playlist, and DJ-style prerecorded music for breaks and other times throughout the evening. He can even emcee your event! Let Ches put his extensive experience to work for you and he can help you plan everything! He has performed at some of the most popular wedding venues around the Atlanta area and the southeast including:

The Georgian Terrace - Atlanta, GA The City Club of Buckhead - Atlanta, GA Peachtree Club of Atlanta - Atlanta, GA King Plow Arts Center - Atlanta, GA Neverland Farms - Cleveland, GA Barnesley Gardens - Rome, GA InterContinental Hotel - Atlanta, GA Reid Barn - Cumming, GA The Ponte Vedra Inn & Club - Ponte Vedra FL Watercolor Inn & Resort - Santa Rosa FL Butterfly Gap Retreat - Maryville, TN Many others!

Ches has also performed for numerous corporate clients, including Budweiser, Yahoo, NAPA auto parts, John Weiland Homes, and countless others at Christmas parties, anniversaries, sales retreats, and more.

Rest assured that Ches uses only the highest quality equipment and can setup in both small and large settings quickly and with ease. He has performed at events ranging in size from 50 guests to over 500 and unlike most musicians, his focus is on QUALITY, not QUANTITY. Instead of playing in restaurants, bars, and clubs all week and then your event on Saturday, he plays private events EXCLUSIVELY. This gives him plenty of time to prepare, plan, and practice so he can be fresh and focused on YOUR event.

When you hire Ches, you can feel confident that in return you will get a highly PROFESSIONAL show from a GIFTED musician. No drum tracks either, just pure live acoustic entertainment at its absolute best and high quality pre-recorded music during breaks. He'll show up early, play his heart out, and leave your guests wanting more, guaranteed.

• Couldn't be happier! Ches was professional, timely, organized, extremely helpful, and most importantly, he is incredibly talented musician! He already knew every song we wanted, but did offer to learn new songs had there been some we wanted that weren't on his list. I would highly recommend Ches for any event! In fact I've just sent his information to my soon-to-be sister-in-law in hopes he is free for their December wedding! -- Susan H, Asheville, NC, 10/1/2011
• Ches was a pleasure to have at our ceremony as well as the cocktail party. He was professional, personable, knew how to play the crowd and all the guests and ourselves loved his music and his talents. I asked him to learn a new tune for our wedding ceremony and he sung it beautifully he truly added to our special day. Thank you Ches Kathy and Wallace Seaborn -- Kathy T, Greenville, SC, 10/9/2010
• Ches did an awesome job. From the very first I spoke with him, I knew we would be in good hands. He was great to work with and was very accommodating to our special requests. He was diligent on his follow-up and quick to respond back to emails and/or voicemails. He made the reception so much fun. We greatly appreciate everything he did to make our reception run smooth and his musical talent is top-notch – everybody loved his music, especially when he played the guitar and sang solo. We highly recommend Ches and plan to hire him again. -- Angela G, Ponte Vedra, FL, 7/17/2010
• Ches did a fantastic job at our event. Our guests and Sr. management raved about how good he was. He had the perfect mix of music.Ches went above and beyond by learning a few our CEO's favorite songs from his native Scotland. I would recommend Ches for any event. I am hoping to hire him for our upcoming Holiday party. -- Kristen W, Atlanta, GA, 11/17/2010
• We love Ches! Couldn't be happier & so glad we didn't choose someone else. Arrived early to setup & very professional all evening. Was accommodating & VERY talented! We are extremely satisfied and highly recommend him for entertainment at your wedding or party! BETTER THAN A DJ without the outrageous expense of a live band!! Played LIVE everything we wanted and had a great Ipod list of dance music. Again, we loved Ches & am so greatful we made the decision not to have a DJ. It was great, thanks so much Ches! -- Evelyn C, Bogart (near Athens), GA, 4/9/2010
• Ches played our beach wedding in Cape San Blas, Florida. Ches was very professional and accommodating. The day of the wedding he came early to set up with all the necessary equipment. He also provided feedback and suggestions to help our wedding run smoothly. During the wedding ceremony he played unplugged on the beach and it sounded fantastic. During the reception he played to the crowd and rocked the house. He has a great voice and brought a lot of energy to our reception. Ches was instrumental in making our wedding not only special but also very fun!! We would whole heartedly recommend Chesleigh for any event. -- Bob C, Port St Joe, FL, 6/18/2009
• Canada loves Ches!!! If we could have we would have snatched him up and brought him home with us... Ches has an incredible voice and amazing talent. It was an absolute pleasure having him perform at our beach wedding and making our day so truly special and memorable! Everyone enjoyed Ches' music and friendly outgoing personality. We would highly recommend him! Hope to see Ches make his way north of the border one day. Thanks again for everything Ches! Kindest Regards, Greg & Joanne Wadsworth Murrells Inlet, SC Beach Wedding June 7, 2009 -- Greg W, Murrells Inlet, SC, 6/7/2009

• We hired Ches for our annual company picnic. He was phenominal, I was approached by so many of our guest's asking "where did you find him ?, I think I am going to see if he is available for my party in a couple of months." I highly recommend Ches for any function you might have. Ches you were awesome, thank you for a great night ! Leslie B. Northwestern Benefit Corp. of GA -Atlanta, GA -- Leslie B, Atlanta, GA, 7/8/2008

• Ches is FANTASTIC! He provided the perfect blend of entertainment for our Club's Member/Guest poolside luau. He is extremely easy going, professional and easy to work with. His song list is perfect for any event and his flexibility and accomodating nature makes Ches a pleasure to work with. I do a lot of preliminary screening for musicians via websites and online demos. Ches sounds great online but even better in person. I definitely recommend Ches to anyone who wants quality entertainment at their next event. We will definitely book him for future functions at our Club! -- Elaine S, Canton, GA, 6/14/2008
• Ches did a phenominal job at our wedding and went above and beyond our expectations. In addition to our reception, he also handled the music for our ceremony and helped to make it unique and special. His talent, professionalism, and personality pushed the reception into a blast. We would highly recommend him! Lisa and John Reid -- Lisa A, Sunset, SC, 9/20/2008
• Ches was an amazing person to work with. He was by far one of my most responsive and professional vendors and did everything possible to ease my mind that our cocktail reception would be perfect - he even let me create a song list and offered to learn a couple new tunes! I know that I'm super excited to refer him to friends as is my wedding planner. My only regret is that we only made it to the last part of our cocktail reception but I know that friends and family really enjoyed every minute! -- Mariam P, Atlanta, GA, 4/18/2009
• Our event was perfect from the 1st contact with Ches to the end. Ches was very professional and accomadating with booking, set up and of course the music. Ches totally got the feel for our wide range of age guests and was a crowd pleaser! We not only would HIGHLY recommend Ches, we will be using him for future events as well....(along with many of our guests) Thank you Ches! Caleb and Tonya Duncan Lawrenceville GA -- Tonya D, Lawrenceville, GA, 5/3/2008

• Chesleigh Eaton was the perfect match for our Member Mixer! He's an excellent guitarist and put on a wonderful performance. Everyone enjoyed him, in fact, Gigmasters was absolutely correct when they said Ches would 'leave your guests wanting more'! We will definitely be hiring him again for future community functions. Thank you very much. Vanessa Berry Governors Towne Club Acworth, GA -- Vanessa B, Acworth, GA, 4/25/2009
• Ches is very professional and accomodating. Our guests enjoyed his music and he was ready for every request. Our event was casual, however I would certainly recommend Ches for any type of event.

• Ches was just what I needed to put my Christmas party over the top. I knew I didn't have guest who would sing along or dance, so it was a risk I was taking. The music addition made everyone feel at ease. It was the best Christmas party I have given. Every guest commented on what a good time they had. -- Suzanne B, Birmingham, AL, 12/19/2008
• Ches did a great job. He setup early, sounded great, and was very accomodating. Thanks Ches. -- David W, Alpharetta, GA, 3/14/2009
• Ches performed at our wedding (a casual, outdoor event) and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ches was particularly good at just going with the flow and being very flexible as the night went on. He was able to change the song choices according to the mood of the group at any one moment, and even took requests from the audience. I HIGHLY recommend Ches. -- Kathy P, Cumming, GA, 5/23/2009
• Ches did a wonderful job - he was always so professional and accommodating in the weeks/months prior to the wedding, and his performance was perfect. We received many compliments on the music and many people asked for his contact info. Thanks to Ches for making our wedding unique and memorable! Carolyn & Chase -- Carolyn W, Hilton Head Island, SC, 10/24/2009
• Ches Eaton is a talent and true professional! He made my husband's 40th birthday party a very fun and memorable night. His song list is diverse, extensive and his voice is incredible! I would absolutely recommend him and plan to book him again in the near future! -- Stephanie S, Birmingham, AL, 9/12/2009
• Ches was awesome! A lot can go wrong on your wedding day and it was nice to NOT have to worry about the music! He was incredible and very talented. Our first dance song was not on his list, but he learned it for us anyway without any problem! I have zero complaints and would strongly recommend him to anyone! Thanks Ches for a great night! -- Jaclynn G, Clarksville, TN, 11/21/2009

• Ches was awesome! With a high level of both professionalism and talent, I would recommend him for any gig or event. He learned a new song for us and played it perfectly. We also had quite a few of our guests compliment the music and ask for his info, which we gladly provided. :) -- Kristin M, Canton, GA, 1/21/2012
