Testimonials

Dylan was amazing and definitely knew how to read the crowd at the party! He was professional and super friendly!! He played everything we requested and would definitely have him play for us again! Thank you so much Dylan!! :)

Michelle Solitaire

As an event planner, I hired Dylan on for a once weekly 5 week event. Each week he showed up early to allow himself plenty of time to set up and was nothing but professional. In addition to being an amazing artist, he was personable and engaged with his audience. Each week we received multiple compliments from our guests. I would highly recommend Dylan for a variety of events and plan on booking him again in the near future.

Tara G.

Dylan was the perfect performer for our event. He is so talented on the guitar and was able to play instrumental only during dinner, then pump it up a bit with his take on popular music w/lyrics once dinner was over. Multiple guests came up to me to comment on how great and talented Dylan was. Everyone was very impressed!

Kelly H.

Dylan was a dream to work with! We had him play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. In meeting with him ahead of time, he was so personable and receptive to our guidelines. He was reasonable/flexible and worked with us to make sure what we wanted was something he could accommodate. I love how he enhanced our event without turning it into a performance or show. His renditions were great (specifically loved Here Comes the Sun instrumental), I loved how they don't sound like typical covers. Plus, at the end of the day, he was a huge hit with our guests so all around a win!

Robert K.
