Wedding Reception•Reviewed on January 14, 2022•From Milwaukee, WI

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our event because many family members came down with Covid right before. Neil was very professional and understanding. If we reschedule, I would happily hire him again. Thank you.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 18, 2019•From Rockton, IL

What an amazingly talented guitarist. His repertoire seemed boundless! We used him for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Classical pieces were played for the ceremony. During the cocktail hour he played current pop pieces, classical Spanish guitar and Argentinian and Colombian ballads and current Latin pieces. In short, we could not have been more pleased. All our guests commented how much they enjoyed his music! You will not be disappointed if you hire Neil Dixon Smith!

Bar Mitzvah•Reviewed on June 4, 2018•From Northbrook, IL

Neil was wonderful! He touched base several times prior to the event to ensure things would go smoothly. He was there early and ready to play when the guests entered the venue. Neil’s playing was lovely and flowed seamlessly from melody to melody. We received multiple positive comments from our guests about his music. He was a true pleasure to work with!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on May 24, 2018•From Chicago, IL

Neil was fantastic! We hired Neil for our corporate event and were not at all disappointed. I have to start by saying that he really worked with us as our schedule was pushed back. He was very understanding and professional. Even as our event went over our scheduled time he had no problem working with us. He is very talented and read the feel of the event well and played the perfect music to fit the mood. I would recommend Neil to anyone and we would be happy to hiree him for future events as well. Thanks so much Neil!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 2, 2017•From Madison, WI

Neil provided the music for our garden wedding ceremony. He was professional, prompt, reliable, and easy to communicate with during the planning process. He accommodated our specific song requests with ease, and was happy to fill the rest of the time with his own unique selections. He's an extremely talented guitarist and our family & friends raved to us about his music at our ceremony. We are so happy that we found him, and we would strongly recommend him for any event!!

Neil was amazing and I got so many compliments from my guests. I had a Cuban style pig roast party in my backyard and his music was a perfect fit for my latin Caribbean theme. He was also very professional and I would not hesitate to book him again. Highly recommended!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 16, 2015•From Milwaukee, WI

It was a pleasure working with Neil. He was very helpful planning the music and logistics involved with our outdoor wedding ceremony. Neil tailored and sang for our first dance to close the ceremony. Everything was perfect. Thank you Neil!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 8, 2015•From Lake Geneva, WI

Neil was amazing from the time we booked him through the event. He was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process. My husband is Venezuelan and Neil did a fantastic job of tailoring our music towards both the Americans and Venezuelans present by incorporating a number of folkloric Venezuelan songs into his set list. He learned a new song for our ceremony a couple of weeks prior, no problem. He also brought along a singer, Leanne, to our cocktail hour and she was also FANTASTIC. Neil is a very talented guitarist who brought a wonderful energy to our ceremony and our cocktail hour, and we are so glad we found him!!

Neil is an honest musician! He is true to his mentor and preferred style, and was very accommodating to our flamenco taste. He made my finace's birthday, an intimate dinner for four, a lovely experience and a night to remember. Don't hesitate to book him for your event.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 17, 2015•From Chicago, IL

Where do I begin?! Neil is talented, professional, and just a great all around guy! He plays beautifully and really cares about being a part of creating a wonderful wedding ceremony. He attended our rehearsal, even though we didn't ask him to. He was early to the rehearsal, when we were very late and early to to the ceremony. Our guests loved his style and he added so much the feel of the ceremony. I'd recommend Neil for any event!!!
