Wedding ReceptionReviewed on June 5, 2012From Galloway, OH

Giles was great! He fit in perfectly with our venue and the theme of our wedding. His music was gorgeous and lots of people said that they really enjoyed his performance. He worked independtly and was able to set up and perform with minimal effort on my part - always a bonus when there is so much going on during the wedding!

Giles was great! In a situation as stressful as a wedding he made his part in our wedding one of the easiest. He was very professional, extremely talented, and did everything we asked of him without hesitation. If you need a guitarist for any event we would definitely recommend you look into hiring Giles.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on November 4, 2011From Pittsburgh, PA

Giles and his band played at our wedding in Pittsburgh, and they had to travel from Ohio to do so. They were on time, and played a couple of really solid sets for us. They were very accomodating to us-- they took some requests and even let me sing 3 songs with them. (No, I don't have my own Gigmasters listing yet.) The band has a high degree of musicianship; Giles himself is an excellent guitarist. They also have a broad range of material--- "classic rock," jazz, bossa nova, world music, Giles' own material etc. I wouldn't call any of the three outstanding singers, but the music itself was strong. We had a great time, and would certainly recommend them.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on October 31, 2011From Elizabeth, IN

Giles was great! He was polite and professional - and a big hit at our event. He was even better in person than the samples I heard on the internet. His rates are very reasonable. I would have no problem recomending him for whatever the occasion. If I ever host a corporate event again, I know I'll be calling Giles.

Cocktail PartyReviewed on October 17, 2011From Loveland, OH

Giles is a real pro, very accomodating, he drove down to our house from75 miles away - on just 36 hours notice! His rate was very reasonable, but better yet, his guitar-playing was phenomenal, and his voice is silky smooth - not unlike James Taylor or Van Morrisson. His wheel house is 60's & '70's classic solft rock, but he also had some contmeporary tunes. His 'Play List' was very lengthy, and we found more than an adequate amount of tunes for our liking. We will use Giles again some day, I'm sure!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on July 11, 2011From Oxford, OH

Giles was FANTASTIC during our wedding ceremony/reception. He learned two songs that I requested. Everyone was raving over how great he was. He also was extremely accommodating to what we needed and worked right into our celebration. He really made our day that much better. Thank you so much!

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on July 6, 2011From Columbus, OH

Giles is wonderful. I hired him to perform a short set during my ~30 minute post-ceremony reception/receiving line. He made the first contact with me after hire and was very responsive to communications (even sent me well wishes the morning of my wedding!). Beyond the professionalism, he is very talented (kind of made me wish I had a longer event to hear more!). He played every song I requested, and I rec'd many compliments on his singing abilities. Giles helped make my day perfect, and I highly recommend him. Thank you, Giles!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 2, 2010From Loudonville, OH

We were absolutely thrilled with Giles Ponticello. He did an exceptional job of providing music - solo for our ceremony and with his band for our reception. They were polished professionals who sounded great and were very easy to work with during the wedding planning process and on our wedding day. We received nothing but compliments from our guests both during and after the reception. They are talented and energetic musicians. We could not have hoped for a better experience. We highly recommend Giles.

Giles was awesome, he is true musician with a passion. My friends all loved him. If you're a fan of real music and not bubblegum pop this is your guy. I will be booking im again this summer as will some of my friends. Great sound system for my outdor gathering. He came as a musician and left as a friend!
