Review by Lily N.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on August 18, 2014•From Georgetown, KY

We hired Giles Ponticello for a benefit ride. It took us until the night before to finally make a decision due to threatening rain but he still was able to make it. It was held at a picnic shelter so his small setup was perfect for us. He arrived right on time. Set up quietly. My daughter gave him a list of a few songs which he gladly did. Everyone seemed to enjoy his music. I thought everything went great. Would highly recommend and would hire again.

Grand Opening•Reviewed on June 11, 2014•From Springfield, OH

Giles is an incredible performer! I was completely satisfied with the entire booking process (everyone was very responsive). I will definitely recommend (and already have) Giles to all my friends, family, and co-workers!

Wedding•Reviewed on April 28, 2014•From Urbana, OH

Giles was wonderful. He learned new songs for our wedding and played beautifully. Many of our guests complimented me on "our guitarist" and even pulled up seats to listen. I would recommend him to anyone!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 14, 2013•From Chillicothe, OH

Giles was great! We selected him based on his video clips and he was just wonderful live and in person! He played during the dinner hour of my husband's 40th birthday party and it was awesome background music to the slideshow. Giles was very professional and most importantly talented. He was also very flexible. Due to a family medical emergency we had to change the location of the venue and he was very accommodating even though he had to travel farther. We would definitely enjoy having him perform at a future event.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 30, 2013•From Springfield, OH

Giles is absolutely incredible and was perfect for our wedding ceremony! A few months after we booked him, we found out our wedding day was actually his birthday. We felt bad that he would be working on his birthday, but he said, "I'll be doing something I like to do." Giles was very accommodating and put so much effort to help make our day special. Booking Giles was one of the least stressful points of planning our wedding -- he made everything so easy! He is very talented, kind, and professional. We will definitely work with him again in the future!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 25, 2013•From Freeport, PA

Just all around enjoyable. Most everyone thought James Taylor was in the back yard playing for them. It was just the right tone for my 65th birthday. We could talk, and we could listen. A good variety of sounds, and I believe, he is an excellent guitar player. Hope I get invited to his next gig, so I can get a chance to just sit and listen.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 6, 2013•From Grove City, OH

Giles is awesome! He played our wedding ceremony on Saturday, July 27, 2013 and the music was absolutely beautiful. He was very accommodating leading up top the big day and was always responsive to our emails. Both my wife and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for live music for any occasion.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 23, 2013•From Laurelville, OH

Giles was awesome - my only regret is that I didn't hire him for a longer period of time - I would have liked to enjoy his music for a bit longer - there is a lot going on when you are the bride. I would hire him in a hearbeat for any event and give him a very high recommendation. In fact, Glenlaurel Inn wanted his information for other events! Happily Married, Amy

Giles was wonderful! Our wedding was down in Dayton and he gladly made the trip. Everyone complimented his talent - his music was beautiful. He had a wide variety of music. We received many compliments on him and we would hire him again in a heart beat!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 23, 2013•From Columbus, OH

Giles was fabulous! After my first conversation with Giles I was totally at ease and knew he would be perfect. He is extremely talented, and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful his performance was at our wedding. Giles is also very accommodating as I asked him if he knew a song special to us, and though he did not, he learned it and it was perfect. My husband and I highly recommend Giles!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 19, 2013•From Lexington, KY

I have never been so pleased with a performer! Not only did he arrive well before necessary to make sure he knew where to set up, he was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! There was not a single wedding guest that did not go away saying WOW, he was so good. I heard it all night long. Giles was super nice and sounded great and was kind enough to learn two special songs outside of his regular play list. He made the ceremony so special and we would 100% recommend him to any bride looking for an acoustic guitar musician. Thank you, Giles! Sarah Maid of Honor Lexington, KY

Happy Hour•Reviewed on April 23, 2013•From Columbus, OH

Giles played for our Happy Hour at our Wedding Reception. Though we weren't there for the hour, we heard about 20 minutes of his performance and he was great. We received a lot of compliments on his performance and were really happy with the job he did. He was easy to work with leading up, I just emailed with him on what I was looking for, and some artists and he filled in from there. Very easy, professional and talented, can't wait to come up with another reason to have him at an event!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 23, 2012•From Fayetteville, OH

Giles did a spectacular job of entertaining our group celebrating my husband's 60th birthday party under a tent at Lake Lorelei. He provided a talent that was perfect for our evening! Thanks very much! I will keep him in mind for future events and would highly recommend him. His wife, Sue, was very sweet and it was good meeting her too.
