Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 22, 2023•From Charlotte, NC
Stephen was Professional. He had to fight with Friday rush-hour in a large city, and still arrived as he had planned. He was non-intrusive in the event, and his playing certainly added to the evening, and several of the guests commented on it. He is extremely good at what he does, and he played what we asked. I would hire him again for a similar venue without hesitation.

We booked Stephen's acoustic guitar music services for our wedding ceremony in Columbia SC in October 2022. From initial request for a quote to the last note played at our ceremony, Stephen was a pleasure to do business with. His quote was honest and transparent. He learned the music we wished to have at our ceremony and everyone was pleased with his rendition. He was available for a call to discuss the details of the wedding. He was also very responsive to texts and emails. He arrived early to set up and worked well with the venue coordinator. We will absolutely recommend his services to our friends and family!

My husband and I could not be happier with Stephen's professionalism and performance. Stephen was helpful in planning our ceremony selections, and the guests particularly enjoyed his modern pieces at our cocktail hour. We will recommend him to family and friends for future events.

Stephen was very helpful during our brainstorming of ceremony music, and he happily accommodated all requests we made. He was easy to work with, quickly replying to all of our emails. Stephen arrived on time, was professional, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed his beautiful guitar music!

Stephen was very willing to accommodate our special request, a recessional song not typically in a wedding. He was there on-time and went straight to playing without direction. We heard great things about the music he provided for the cocktail reception, too. A true professional! We're glad we made the connection with this talented musician!

Steven was a wonderful performer. His music really helped to make our wedding day special -- it leant the perfect air of elegance and simplicity to our ceremony. We could not have been more pleased, and would not hesitate to recommend him to any of our friends!

Stephen was extremely talented and professional. I was actually tardy to my own event but when I arrived, Stephen was already set up and playing. In other words, he went right to work independently without delay, and played the entire time with selections of his own -- all entirely appropriate and perfect for the occasion. I would defintely hire him again and reccomend him to any friend without hesitation.

We hired Mr. Tunstall to perform for our wedding ceremony & reception. Email communication was responsive, but usually took 2-3 days for Tunstall to reply. Although his credentials are quite impressive, his rates are very reasonable especially when compared to the competition. There were 2 minor issues during the performance, however. Tunstall played the incorrect song for the bridal march (but recovered relatively smoothly and later apologized), and we noticed some of the same songs being replayed about 2/3 into the reception. Both really weren't that big of a deal as I'm sure none of the other guests even noticed. We'd still strongly recommend Tunstall to anyone.

Stephen is extremely talented and did an AMAZING job playing during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. His acoustics were perfect for the outdoor vineyard setting, and really fit our style and taste. He delivered an amazing performance, which was exactly what my husband and I envisioned – classic without being overly traditional. His combination of classical and modern pieces was great for our young and energetic crowd, and he really set the mood for the rest of the evening. I would strongly recommend to a friend or anyone else looking for an acoustic guitarist. It was perfect!

Stephen was great. He was very professional and very unobtrusive. We wanted someone to provide a background of classical guitar music without becoming the show, and that's exactly what we got.
He was good about keeping in touch and making sure he was placed in the proper position, and his playing and song selection were excellent. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to add a touch of class and great music to their wedding or event.
Thanks Stephen!

Stephen was very professional and talented. The location of my ceremony changed very suddenly and quickly due to weather. Stephen reacted to the change with ease, and he quickly prepared to move and play in a completely different location. I would recommend him to any of my friends in need of a wonderful classical guitarist!! Thanks Stephen!
