Private Party•Reviewed on October 2, 2009•From New York City, NY
I really didn't know what I was getting into with Gigmasters.com and I was so incredibly impressed with the musician we met through the website. Nolan Ericsson was amazing, professional, talented, and a true pleasure to work with. I would hire him again in a second and recommend him to anyone throwing an event big or small. His music really added something extra special to our party and he was open to playing anything we requested. His credentials are very impressive and he is truly passionate about his craft. A+.

Nolan was great to work with. He is a great guitar player, very professional, and most importantly very accommodating to your specific needs. He did a fantastic job at my wedding and reception and I would recommend him for anyone else. Thanks again Nolan! I hope others will read this and you will get even a greater fan base!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 30, 2010•From New York City, NY
Nolan worked a corporate event reception we had in a hotel penthouse for a large tech client. This was my first time using gigmaster, and didnt know what to expect. He arrived early, well-dressed, and polished. We decided where he shoud be, and he didnt need any further direction. He created a wonderful atmosphere for our guests. And when they wouldnt leave, Nolan was very accomodating and stayed for an additional amount of time. He was professional, courteous, and talented... I would book him again, and recommend to anyone!
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 3, 2010•From Englishtown, NJ
Nolan created a beautiful and elegant dimension to the evening - Our party was in our home, and Nolan played his exquisite varied repertoire in the great room. Prior to the party, he was very accommodating via email, learning some specific pieces I requested, adding them to his already rich and full repertoire. Needless to say, my husband was very moved when he heard his favorite Vivaldi pieces, an original arrangement from Carmen, and a stunning rendition of the theme from the movie "Chocolate"! I highly recommend Nolan Ericsson to anyone looking for a fantastic musician!!!!!

We just had Nolan Ericsson play for our wedding ceremony and cocktails. During the planning, he was very friendly, responsive and helpful as we made song choices & selections. He was very accommodating and even learned two new songs for us. For the big day, he showed up extremely early to get set up ahead of time, which we appreciated. His playing was fantastic, and complemented the goings-on nicely (I only wish we could have been around to hear more of him, instead of running around taking pictures!). Nolan is very professional and talented, and we would definitely recommend him to others!

Nolan Ericsson is a wonderful guitarist! My husband and I were very happy to have him play during our wedding ceremony, one of the momentous moments of our lives. He was great to work with and extremely helpful when it came to deciding the music program for both my ceremony and cocktail hour. Nolan took care of all our musical needs during that time and we never had anything to worry about. He did an absolute beautiful job in making our day that much more special and memorable.
Thank you Nolan!

Nolan was extremely professional and he set the perfect mood for our ceremony with the classical pieces he played. A handful of our family members are professional musicians themselves, and they were so impressed with Nolan's performance!
Leading up to the wedding, Nolan was extremely helpful. I (the bride) was living on the west coast of Canada while corresponding with Nolan for some months before the wedding. Nolan always emailed me back promptly and always took time to anwer all of my questions. He was full of suggestions and even sample music clips for me to listen to as I chose the perfect songs for our wedding!

Nolan played at our wedding ceremony and was absolutely amazing! We met with him once a few months before the big day to get a sense of him & to give him the songs we wanted, hoping he was familiar with them. He didn't know any of our obscure songs choices, but just listened to them once and could play them almost immediately! He committed to perfecting them, and then sent us a sound bite of him playing them via email about 3 weeks before the wedding. I cried as I listened to them at work because they were so beautiful! He captured exactly what we wanted! Nolan was so kind and genuine throughout. I would highly recommend him to anyone for just about any occasion!

Some musicians we contacted turned their noses up @ reimagining Journey's 'Dont Stop Believin' for classical guitar, but Nolan was totally open to it & comfortable w the challenge. His arrangement came out beautifully & made our guests smile & the groom feel @ ease coming down the aisle.
Moved easily btwn styles, made tasteful choices for arrangements, excellent guitarist! Very professional, maintained constant contact--he made our wedding extra special. Highly & heartily recommended!
Thank you, Nolan!
Banquet•Reviewed on December 12, 2010•From New York City, NY
I would recommend Nolan without any qualifications. Nolan spent significant time up front not only to craft a special program of songs, but also to educate me on the types of Latin music so that he could better tailor our evening. He was the consummate professional, insisting on arriving early to the event to adjust to the acoustics of the room. We were completely at ease even before he played the guitar...which he then played beautifully: blending into the mood of the room while at the same time standing out with his exceptional tone and skill. Nolan's professionalism, talent and presence made him the highlight of our rehearsal dinner. I recommend him unequivocally.
Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on December 1, 2013•From New York City, NY
We can't say enough about Nolan and his classical guitar skills! Likewise, he was quick with his responses and so easy to work with as we got our play list together for our wedding. Although it was a non-traditional venue (Spice Market), Nolan arrived and just adjusted to everything; he was even set up before we arrived from taking pre-wedding photos. Although he'd never met the event manager at the venue, right off the bat the two of them quickly timed out the procession and recession. He's such a professional! His arrangements of all of the songs we wanted were phenomenal and he really set a very elegant vibe! You will not be sorry going with Nolan for your event!!

Although I hardly got to hear the songs that Nolan played at my wedding ceremony, I heard wonderful things from my guests. He was professional and very easy to get in contact with throughout the planning process. He was punctual, accomodating and extremely talented. I would definitely reccomend Nolan Ericsson to anyone!

Nolan was a class act all around. His communication prior to our wedding was exceptional, he even learned our favorite song for us a week before the wedding. He was helpful in helping us chose music selections and such a pleasure to work with from the beginning to the end. His musical talents are extraordinary, he brought a very special element to our wedding day. We are so grateful to have hired Nolan to play for our ceremony, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional musician. THANK YOU Nolan!

Nolan listened to all of our requests, and played beautifully. He also made it to our house despite the threat of Hurricane Irene, which was so amazing of him! I would recommend him to anyone.
