- Stacy's guitar playing was beautiful! He was professional and easy to work with. The sound of his guitar added the perfect atmosphere to our wedding. I would recommend Stacy to anyone needing a classical guitarist for any event. -- Laura P, Round Rock, TX, 9/25/2010
- Stacy's sound is excellent. He did a great job timing music with events as well as flowing between pieces seamlessly throughout the ceremony. He was accommodating, easy and prompt to correspond with during planning, and the end result was exactly what we hoped for. I would highly recommend him to anyone. -- James H, Kyle, TX, 8/28/2010
- The music level was perfect. The style and choice of music was perfect. We told him our requests and he definitly delivered. I am a very picky person, so for me to rate someone high they must have been perfect. Stacy Arnold was ontime, was playing when we arrived, played continously, sound level was perfect to the point that my wife and I were not screaming at our guests. He made our reception. Everyone commented on his talent. Like I said this is coming from a picky person. If any of your requirements are what we listed above then pick Stacy Arnold. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Stacy Arnold! -- James G, Keller, TX, 7/24/2010

- A truely gifted guitarist. Stacy made our evening more magical than I could have hoped for. His selection of music to compliment our evening showed his ability to read his audience and I would not hesitate to call him again for future family events.

- Stacy Arnold performed twice for our art's council, once for a school program and again that evening for a concert event. Mr. Arnold was very professional and accommodating. Our event schedule required a few last minute adjustments. Mr. Arnold graciously went out of his way to accommodate our circumstances. His performance was generous and delightful, our audience enjoyed the concert very much. Mr. Arnold was kindly indulgent of our young guitar students and made a wonderful contribution to this season's arts program. We would certainly recommend him for any event.
