Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 30, 2016•From Leesburg, VA
Kevin Burnes was everything we had wanted in a wedding ceremony guitarist and much more.
We had requested that he play Beatles' songs, and he arranged an entire setlist of them, including the songs we had requested. One of The Beatles' songs we had requested he play was "In My Life" including the harpsichord solo, which is quite difficult to adapt to guitar. Kevin's rendition was extremely impressive, and we ended up actually recording and posting it on youtube so that we can readily watch it again and again.
Kevin was even kind enough to play longer than we had originally agreed to (and paid him to). Kevin is an extremely likeable and talented guitarist!

Kevin played this past weekend for my son and his new bride during their outdoor ceremony. He was wonderful and his music perfectly set the mood for this wonderful and special event. The guests commented on how much they enjoyed hearing him play prior to the ceremony, and he continued to play afterwards while the bridal party and families were having pictures taken. Kevin's music was the perfect accompaniment for a truly magical evening in our family and his overall talent is superb!

Kevin was the perfect touch for my wedding that I was looking for. He was professional, communicative, and was able to take the lead on what he thought was appropriate by reading the crowd. Everyone just loved his special touch. Thank you so much Kevin!!!

Kevin played guitar at our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely perfect. We asked him to play for about 30 mins before the ceremony as guests arrived as well as during the processional and recessional. We chatted over the phone and exchanged a few emails before the wedding and Kevin was very responsive to all our of questions. Before the ceremony, he played a combination of the songs featured on his website as well as some fun rock songs that we requested. We asked him to play the traditional Cannon in D for the processional and a fun arrangement of Boston's More than a Feeling for the recessional. Everything sounded amazing and we are so glad that we chose Kevin.

We booked Kevin Burnes through Gigmaster to play guitar for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we were so pleased with his work. He was responsive at every step of the game and made his own arrangements of the songs we requested for our processionals and recessionals (keep in mind he's instrumental only - no vocals). Our other vendors who worked with him commented on how calm and cooperative he was, and he sent us a lovely note the day after our wedding thanking us for letting him be a part of our special day. Kevin is not just a great musician, he's a great guy - we highly recommend him!

Kevin Burnes arrived as agreed, was flexible about set up location, arranged to bring a mike so we could do birthday toasts with amplification, played beautifully and appropriately during the evening and is an all around pleasant fellow.

Kevin did a great job - excellent musician. He also took the time to communicate with me before our event, he arrived early, and really did a great job. I will definitely be working with Kevin again next time we are in the area.
