"Stacy was very professional. He contacted me immediately and we nailed down the date, time, and location. He followed up a couple weeks before the event and we discussed our music selections and his attire. Stacy showed up to our venue promptly and he set up his equipment. He accommodated all of our music requests for our wedding ceremony and played beautiful and appropriate background music during the reception. I highly recommend Stacy for anyone who is in the market for a classical guitarist. He is an absolutely wonderful guitarist and he was a pleasure to work with!

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.
