Derek was so easy to work with and played exactly what we had requested for music. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire a guitarist for any special occasion.

Derek was an excellent choice for our wedding cocktail hour and ceremony! He played acoustic guitar to underscore the event, and with little direction he perfectly fit the mood of the day. Derek arrived early and well prepared. We would gladly hire him again and recommend him to others!

Derek was fantastic. No one was around when he arrived, but he just got set up and did his thing. We really appreciate his contribution to making our special day so wonderful.

Derek was absolutely fabulous. He was timely, dressed perfectly for the DIY camp wedding, and provided excellent insight and help in preparations. The music was perfect for the occasion and we received many compliments from the guests. He added a very special element to the wedding. I give Derek my highest recommendation without hesitation.

Derik was wonderful. He arrived early, adjusted his start time to the needs of the audience, played beautifully, and was appreciated by all. This performance was for a Senior assisted Living group. I am also a wedding coordinator who plans on adding Derek to my list of contacts for Wedding performances as well.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 23, 2015•From Port Chester, NY
From quote through the end of our event Derek was responsive and conveyed interest in making sure he understood what our desire was.
The day of the event he was on time, setup and ready to go well in advance of our start time.
I did not provide Derek with a complete specific song list but rather gave him a list of artists and representative songs. The songs that they chose to perform fit perfectly.
Our guests commented on how much they liked the songs and performance. We were treated to a mix of instrumental and male and or female vocal.
I would highly recommend Derek & would hire him again.
Derek, thanks again for helping make our wedding dinner perfect.

Derek is a talented guitar player. Many musicians in the audience commented that Derek was a pro!
Everyone enjoyed our event and Derek provided the entertainment needed to make the lunch and networking special.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 26, 2014•From Southbury, CT
We just hired Derek Monahan to perform at our Dad's Birthday party and couldn't be more pleased! He played exactly the type of music we requested
(Classical, Beatles, Michael Buble) and it provided a wonderful background for the evening. Many of our guests commented on how nice it was to hear
his playing. Derek is very professional, talented and the perfect person to hire for a special event. You will not be disappointed!
