James Coates Reviews

James was a delight, and super talented musician. I’m hesitant to write a review incase I need to book him in the future, because he’s sooo good, and will be booked up most likely when others find out. He was also able to learn and crush music not on his play list. Made a tough day incredibly special and fun.

James was amazing! We loved having him at our company holiday party in our home, he fit right in! He played so long and rarely took any breaks which helped keep the atmosphere very special. When he did take breaks, he did play some great background music which was great. I also had the opportunity to jam with James at the end of the night, as I also sing, so that was super special. James, we made a great team! If you ever want to get together for open mics in Portland, look me up! I would highly recommend James for any event we might have upcoming where we need a professional singer/guitar player. Thank you for connecting us Gigmasters!

James played and sang at our wedding from ceremony through to dinner, dancing, and to last call. He was outstanding! We had a smaller wedding and wanted the intimate vibe that a guitar could add, rather than having a louder DJ. I can't say enough positive feedback for how professional James was, how fantastic his sound is, and how well the music completed our wedding vibe. James even learned a new song for our wedding dance. Of all the wedding components, the most talked about from our guests was James. I would recommend him without hesitation and would book him again in a heartbeat.

James was extremely professional throughout the entire planning process, and he even learned very specific songs that we were hoping to hear at our ceremony. We would definitely highly recommend him!

We had James play at our wedding ceremony and he did a fantastic job. He played all the songs we asked and more. He made my special moment a great one! He is friendly and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend him for your event!

Highest professionalism,great voice, several of our guest were musicians and singers and gave high praise. Thank you again James

We hired him to play at our wedding celebration and found the experience to be an absolute delight. James was very professional and punctual. He knew exactly what to play and how to play it to suit the mood our party and many of our guests complimented his performance. We highly recommend him and urge you to consider him for your next event.

James was very correct and polite and very professional, all my guest were very impress with his performance. I will recommend James to everybody. We have a great time with him. Thanks Maritza

James did such a good job at our event last night. He was so accommodating and took the time to understand our needs to make sure his music would enhance and not take away from our event. He played non-stop for two hours and sounded great. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a talented singer for their next event.

James was absolutely FABULOUS. Our event was somewhat casual and he completely went with the flow. Many guests approached me and asked where I had found him and the comments I received were that he had a "soulful voice" and could "really carry a tune" and was "superb"! He totally played at the exact level I needed, was very professional, and such a delight to work with. I hope to see him at my other friends venues, I've spread the word and this guy is IT! Book him for your wedding, he's WELL worth the money. I can't rave enough about him and my family and friends are still raving. Thank you James, for making my walk down the aisle memorable!
