Eddy Lugo

I have been performing in central Florida for more than 20 years. I am a classically trained musician from one of the most respected conservatories in the world, the Manhattan School of Music. I play the classical guitar repertory as well as Flamenco, Afro-Cuban, Latin American and Jazz music. I have professional PA equipment that allows me to play large events with hundreds of attendees to very intimate gatherings such as weddings or private parties.

Because of my extensive experience in the area I also have had the good fortune to have made the acquaintance of many talented musicians in Central Florida. This means that I can meet the needs of any event calling for a guitarist with another piece such as guitar & violin, guitar & flute, guitar & oboe, guitar & jazz singer or classical singer just to name a few. Larger ensembles can be formed on demand.

I have a strong work ethic and a love for music that makes me a trustworthy and reliable performer. I will personally consult with clients at no extra charge to ensure that their event has the right music to create the mood and ambiance they desire.

• We were so very impressed! Eddy Lugo was not only the consumate professional, he was also very responsive to each and every email I sent before the event. I would hire him in a minute, I HIGHLY recommend him without any hesitation whatsoever. His music for our daughter's wedding and dinner reception afterward was perfection. His talent and giftedness added so much to the ceremony and the dinner, we are all so very pleased that we chose him! I wish that I could give him HIGHER than 5's in each category! Thank you, Eddy...you made a beautiful occasion that much more beautiful! -- Judi E, Fort Myers, FL, 4/3/2011

• Eddy Lugo was exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. His music created an calming atmosphere that transported the guests to an exotic location. One guest commented that they were mesmerized by his finger-work. I sent requests that were not part of his repertoire and he perfomed them exquisitely. Many guests commented that he was fantastic and would like to hear him again. I hope to see him again at another venue. Please send me his schedule of events. ~Kendra Chappell-Myrmel (the Bride) -- Kendra C, Tampa, FL, 3/25/2011
• Every review about Eddy is dead on!!! He is incredibly talented and played a perfect non-traditional repetoire for my small wedding. I even put him on the spot and asked him to play something spectacular and unplanned for my guests, which he did readily and beautifully. I can't say enough nice things about him and wholeheartedly recommend him for any and all events! -- Sarah B, Saint Petersburg, FL, 5/15/2010
• Eddy is a class act and he provided an elegance to our small ceremony. The minister who presided over our wedding told me that Eddy was the best musician he had ever heard, and he has performed nearly 300 weddings. Thanks Eddy! -- Daniel P, Tampa, FL, 4/25/2010

• Eddy was an absolutely wonderful addition to our wedding. My husband and I sent our favorite songs to him, and he created beautiful guitar arrangements of each of them for us.

• Eddy was an ideal performer. Not only was he excellent at his craft and a professional (on time/dressed appropriately, etc) he went above and beyond to also demonstrate he is also a man of character and values. Which in my book,ranks him very high in the short list of people i'd be honored to work with again. -- Sean D, Sarasota, FL, 3/9/2009

• From the very beginning, Eddy made this process easy, which was really calming right when we needed it. He pretty much was on auto-pilot, even though he had given us plenty of opportunity to make whatever specific needs known. His repertoire is really expansive, so my initial requests were easily accommodated. And Eddy thought of little things that we hadn't even considered, which made our wedding all the better. Thank you Eddy! -Frank & Maggie -- Frank S, Vero Beach, FL, 8/8/2009
• His talent is excellent. He is experienced with weddings so he made some very good recommendation. The acoustic guitar makes for a very beatiful ceremony with out requiring alot space or equipment. -- Susan S, Tampa, FL, 4/26/2008
• I had many many complements on his performance. Someone didn't even notice at first it was live music. they though it was a CD. His music blended sooo well with the ambiance. I had made a few request on specific styles of music and he was able to perform it beautifully. He's awesome!! Thank you Eddy. -- Nuria P, St Petersburg, FL, 11/8/2008
• Eddy was a very gracious player. Unobtrusive and did not need pandering to. He professionally organized himself and we were very impressed as our wedding was in the back garden and it was warm on July 5th 2008. All our guests were very impressed and commented to us about how perfect the setting was for his classic`playing. We would heartily recommend him to anyone as you would not be disappointed, only delighted instead. Thank you Eddy! -- Karen O, Sarasota, FL, 7/5/2008
• Eddy performed before and during our wedding ceremony in Winter Park. He did a fantastic job. He was flexible, versatile, and was very accomodating to the style of music I requested. He was one of the few performers we found that was willing to work with our singer for the wedding. Our soloist and Eddy talked on the phone and worked out the details of the performance. He made an extra effort to discuss the music and rehearse with her. She found him to be extremely good to work with, and a great talent. He was always available on the phone or email, to discuss details with me. I highly recommend Eddy for his talent, and for being so nice and easy to work with! -- Kristina H, Winter Park, FL, 5/25/2008
• We very much enjoyed Eddy Lugo's music. Eddy is very talented, professional and accommodating. We received many great comments from family and friends about Eddy's artistic abilities.

• We hired Eddy for a mid-day performance, and then later asked him if we could change the time to evening. He told us that he was unable to make the later time, but would happily recommend one of his colleagues to fill in for him. We were very happy with Eddy's willingness to accomodate us and help us when our plans changed. He was very polite and responsive to our calls and emails. -- Hoa N, Indian Rocks Beach, FL, 7/19/2008
• Great! made our party wonderful. Highly recommended! -- Claudia M, Sarasota, FL, 5/5/2009
• Eddy Lugo went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect. During our planning process, Eddy met with us to play several samples and guide us through our music selection for our ceremony and cocktail hour. On our wedding day, the ceremony was delayed twenty to thirty minutes due to several guests being stuck in traffic. This made me anxious and nervous, but Eddy relieved my worries by continuing to play for the guests who were patiently waiting and by staying to play until the cocktail hour was over. His music is beautiful and we received so many compliments. Thank you, Eddy, for helping create wonderful ceremony and cocktail hour! -- Valerie B, Winter Park, FL, 3/26/2010
• Eddy Lugo performed for my daughter's wedding on March 20, 2010. He is a very talented musician who arrived early and did a fabulous job providing pre-wedding music as our guests were arriving and two special requests at the beginning of the ceremony. The feedback from the guest was very positive and even though Eddy did not get to hear the comments, everyone was impressed with his talent, style and professionalism. I would highly recommend Eddy Lugo for any event. -- Iris H, Homeland, FL, 3/20/2010
• With very short notice, Eddy played a wonderful classical guitar concert in a private hospital room for my dad. He is a great musician, and easily accommodated my requests. He is also an excellent communicator, which was very important to me, especially since I was arranging the gig from far away. Eddy obviously cares a lot about what he is doing, and my father not only enjoyed his music, but his company as well. A++ Excellent! -- Andrea M, Naples, FL, 1/4/2010
• Eddy was just wonderful!! Eddy played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and did a fantastic job. He's very kind and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Eddy to a friend. Without a doubt, he was a hit! -- Nikolas P, Tampa, FL, 1/2/2010

• Eddy was wonderful! I would reccommend him for any event. -- Peggy H, Clearwater Beach, FL, 9/4/2010
• We hired Eddy Lugo to play at our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier. We live out of town and weren't going to be in town before the wedding, and Eddy worked with us via phone and e-mail without missing a beat. He figured out how to play a custom song for us with only a few weeks notice, which turned out great. Things couldn't have gone smoother, and we couldn't have been happier with his work. And his guitar playing is awesome - we got several compliments on his behalf. Absolutely awesome! -- Jason Z, Tampa, FL, 8/7/2010
• We had simple requests, but he executed them perfectly. Also found that his fee was the most reasonable and definitly worth it. -- Lisa C, Sarasota, FL, 7/17/2010

I did not have any specific songs for him to play and I left it up to his professional judgement and it turned out wonderful. Everyone at my ceremony commented on how great he was! I would highly recommend Eddy for any event. -- Mary M, Orlando, FL, 5/15/2010
