Corporate Function•Reviewed on January 9, 2023•From Bradenton, FL
#1 Pete provided just the right music for our event, was varied and fun. He had a great presence and was very accommodating. #2 he kept in contact as we got close to the event and was very helpful and knowledgeable about how a customer like me gets antsy the days just before. #3 he knew the venue, was there on time, played a great couple sets and even helped to liven a game we played with our employees. #4 I would recommend Pete Simms for others. We were very pleased. Thank you Pete!

Pete was always easy to communicate with and prompt to respond. Always very friendly and professional. He learned 2 custom songs for our ceremony for no extra charge. The acoustic guitar is a really nice touch for an outdoor ceremony. He did a great job, we were very happy with him and would definitely recommend him!

We have nothing but great things to say about Pete. Prior to our wedding, he responded to all of our requests and emails in a timely manner. I met him briefly on the day of the event. He was on time and ready to go. He played our ceremony and the cocktail hour, and our guests loved him. With a million things that can go wrong with a wedding, it was nice to have one less thing to worry about. I would definitely recommend him, and we hope to use his services in the future.
My only regret, as the groom, is that my wife and I didn't get to enjoy his playing as much as our guests did.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 30, 2013•From Clearwater, FL
I hired Pete to play my wedding in clearwater beach last week. He was professional and responsive from the outset of the planning process. He was super accommodating when it came to my music choices and played a couple of songs that were not even on his list.
Wedding planning is a difficult thing from out of state and Pete made me feel confident and secure that I had picked the right guitarist.
He is an all around good guy and very talented. The music made my day extra special and I would recommend him without reservation.
Thank you again, Pete!

Pete learned new material for our bride and was as elastic as I needed him to be- the processional was planned literally the day before at the rehearsal and there wasn't much for him to go on- just a 5 minute conversation and a few emails back and forth. He performed beautifully and took my cues from 50 yards away, playing Canon in D, Claire de Lune and Ain't No Sunshine, among other requested tunes. He would be an asset to any wedding as either a processional musician or main performer.

Peter was the perfect choice for music at our wedding. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is very easy to work with. He is extremely professional, and honestly I never even really knew he was there except that I could hear him playing the most beautiful music. Thank you Peter! You were amazing!
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 27, 2012•From Punta Gorda, FL
I was very pleased with Peter. He arrived early to the wedding ceremony site and even stayed a little longer following the ceremony. We were a little late getting started due to the rental company getting lost and he graciously stayed and played a little longer to please the client. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone that is looking fora classical instrumental element to their event. Thank-you, Peter!

Peter is a great person to work with, and is an amazing guitarist. He played at my wedding on the beach - and made it all that more special - he has a wonderful repertoire of music which he played during the cocktail hour and dinner. I would highly recommend him as he is easy going, very professional and a very talented musician. Thank-you Peter for making our day so wonderful.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 18, 2010•From Tampa, FL
Peter played flawlessly and was exactly what kind of music we were looking for to complement our party. He never complained of the sweltering august heat and played on despite being uncomfortable. Everyone absolutely loved his music and it was a shame the time flew by. I would recommend Peter highly and without reservation to anyone! We would most surely love to have him back, but at a cooler time of the year. I am glad we found him.
Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 31, 2010•From Bradenton, FL
Peter was amazing!! Due to an accident on the interstate, he had a hard time getting thru some heavy slow traffic, and kept calling us to give us an update on the situation. Because he arrived late, he played later into the evening for us to make up for it instead of ending on the agreed time. His music was perfect for the occasion! Everyone enjoyed his style of music, and even asked for contact information so they can hire him at future events. He was loved by all. My husband would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Grand Opening•Reviewed on June 11, 2018•From Bradenton, FL
Pete was absolutely instrumental (pun intended!) in making our VIP Grand Opening event in Lakewood Ranch a success. We were really hoping to find a musician who could contribute to the fun but sophisticated vibe we wanted for this event. I can say without a doubt that Pete was the best choice. His song selection and professional appearance fit perfectly with what we were trying to accomplish. Additionally, Pete's communication before, during, and after the event made the transaction so easy! We will absolutely contact Pete again for future events.
