• Mr. Barry was an outstanding feature of our wedding rehearsal dinner. He deserves to be showcased in a concert or recital setting and we were fortunate enough to enjoy his performance during cocktails and dinner. We requested some very difficult pieces on short notice (classical and latin/flamenco) and he accommodated them all brilliantly. The groom was particularly impressed with the performance and pleased to have the opportunity to speak with Mr. Barry. My wife and I highly recommend him for lovers of acoustic guitar instrumental music. -- Jeffrey H, Bethesda, MD, 7/10/2009
• I am a corporate event planner who needed a classical/latin guitar player very last minute (3 days notice). Richard was very professional and accommdating on the phone. I told him that his audience was the CEO of my company and our top level execs. These are people who entertain often. The feedback I got from the CEO was that Richard "exceeded expections" for this event. As an event planner, this is exactly the feedback that I want to hear. I highly recommend Richard and will use his services next time I get this request!! Thank you, Richard! -- Mary N, The Plains, VA, 1/11/2009
• Richard was totally accommodating, quick to contact me and check with arrangements, as well as follow up. Arrived early for the event, well presented, and feedback from guests was extremely positive. His talent is quite remarkable. He is a total gentleman and one our company will certainly use in the future. -- Tony M, Washington, DC, 7/6/2008
• I would like to start by saying I have never hired anyone off the internet and was very nervous but Rich so surpassed any expectation I had, that I would do it again, or at least I would hire him again! He was incredible! I hired him for a small surprise birthday party at my house. He played exactly what he told me he would and everyone at the party kept telling me how good he was. One of my friends even followed him out the door to get his card because she wanted him to play at her birthday party in March. I really can’t say enough about how professional, accommodating, and accomplished he is- if you are reading this look no further he is truly gifted. -- Allison M, Mclean, VA, 2/9/2008
• The duo encompasses the total experience that one looks for when hosting an event. They brought class, elegance, professionalism, charm and sheer talent to the event. Not only were they talented but their personality and kindness added a little something extra to the sweet sounds of their music. I would recommend them to anyone who like myself needed to make a superior impression at a great event...this duo helped me achieve everything i imagined and more! -- Tiziana C, Lake Success, NY, 4/30/2008
• I have used Gigmasters three times and all of the musicians were good, but I have to say that Rich was the best. Everyone enjoyed the music and talking to him at the end of the evening. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to my friends. -- Kathleen W, Arlington, VA, 12/7/2008
