CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

every guest that attended, plus the reverend who has 1000's of wedding under his belt, said that James Vita was the best acoustic guitarist they had ever heard at o wedding. It was perfect, different, and we would hire him, or recomend him in a flash. Hooray!

We are still receiving raves for our choice in entertainment for our wedding ceremony and reception. Jim Vita is an exceptionally talented guitarist and a genius at reading a crowd. I found that I immediately trusted Jim and his expertise, and was happily able to enjoy my own event. His style of music interpretation is tasteful, fun, beautiful, and elegant. His repetoir seemed limitless. I enjoy old jazz and standards and some guests like Motown and early rock (and of course some sweet classical elements as well) and Jim handled it all. Jim is very professional, prompt, and personable. He is wonderful with quirky requests. Jim was an important element in our ceremony and reception coming together as beautifully as it did.

James Vita helped make our wine tasting event lovely and memorable. I will be hiring him again for future events and would recommend him to anyone looking for musical entertainment.

Organizing a wedding is an extremely stressful event, James put me at ease with our very first contact, from his well laid out website to promptly returning my phone calls about special requests. I have already received comments about how wonderful the music was for the wedding. I would definitely refer friends to the gigmaster.com service in general but I would refer James Vita because professionalism and ability to put a crazy bride at ease. Thank you!

James Vita is an amazing artist. He has incredible talent and did a fantastic job. His music was a holiday gift for our mother and he really was amazing. She was absolutly thrilled by the music and his performance. We were all so touched that he was able to come on a holiday weekend for a very special performance.

I found James Vita on Gigmasters, and made arrangements with him to travel quite a distance to play at my mother's 75th birthday luncheon. He offered us a playlist before the event. He came to our event, and he was wonderful. His playing was excellent, and varied, and he unobtrusively played thru long pre-luncheon delays. When we performed our traditional family parodies after lunch, he played along with all. His presence contributed greatly to the good success of our event. I would hire him in a minute, for another event such as this.
