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!
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.
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!
When Dylan Galvin took the stage at our 10th anniversary, we knew we were in for something special, but we didn't anticipate just how transformative his performance would be. His musical talent isn't just professional; it's profoundly captivating. From the first strum of his guitar, Dylan had every guest's attention, prompting an evening-long chorus of "Who is this amazing artist?" His repertoire, a perfect blend of lively and soulful, met our event's mood at every turn. But it was more than his music—Dylan's down-to-earth presence and seamless interaction with the crowd made him an unforgettable part of our celebration, not just a performer. What struck us most was the resonance of his music. Dylan's performance was the kind that stays with you, not just as a memory but as a melodic echo that calls you back for more. And yes, we're already thinking about the 'when' and 'where' for his next performance. Hiring him again isn't a question; it's a certainty. Because when someone strikes a chord the way Dylan did, you don't just applaud—you encore. His talent isn't just enjoyable; it's essential for any event that aims to be truly memorable. He's that good.
As a corporate event planner, I’ve had the pleasure of hiring Dylan Galvin for our events. Dylan is very professional, punctual, and musically talented. His energy adds a wonderful dynamic to our events, and his ability to read the room and adjust his music accordingly ensures that the crowd is entertained. Whether you need ambiance music to set the mood or a captivating performer, Dylan Galvin is a great choice to elevate your event.
BRIDES! You definitely need to run and hire Dylan for your wedding. Dylan played wonderfully at our cocktail hour and it really set the tone for the rest of the evening. Who doesn’t love live music?
My husband and I found Dylan playing one night at Bella Terra in Huntington Beach and we instantly knew we needed him at our wedding. He is a phenomenal guitarist with a great voice. Our guests are still talking about him! He was definitely a highlight! 💕 Trust me, hire him, you WON’T regret it.
Dylan played for my husband's 40 birthday and exceeded my expectations! He was professional and easy to communicate with. On the day of the party he arrived early to set up his equipment and lights and became the life of the party. He is a truly great musician and if I hadn't been busy greeting everyone I could have danced and listened to his music all night. All ages enjoyed his music- from my husband's grandfather to the little nieces and nephews running around the dance floor. He even sang a fantastic "Happy birthday" song to my husband (which sounded much better than I could have done!) Highly recommend hiring Dylan for your event!
We had the pleasure of enjoying Dylan Galvin perform during a cocktail party in San Diego and it was nothing short of spectacular! The song selection was a flawless blend of classic hits and modern favorites, appealing to everyone in attendance.
Several guests commented on how much their performance elevated the entire event. If you're looking for someone to bring elegance and entertainment to your gathering, I couldn’t recommend Dylan enough.
Bravo, and thank you for making the event so memorable!

All night long and well after the event, my guests kept asking how I found him and asking for his social media links to follow him. Before the event, he sent me an email asking about the event theme, a song list and dress attire. As a wardrobe stylist, I can say his outfit was completely on point! And he played all the songs I asked requested from his song list. The guests loved him so much, he actually stayed for additional time. My guests also loved chatting with him during his breaks. He was super charismatic and just overall a truly talented entertainer. I would 100% book him again :)
I hired Dylan for my wife's surprise 50th birthday party. He was set up ahead of schedule and performed even better than I could have ever expected. Several of our guests asked where I was able to find such a talented musician. He played a wide variety of music and took requests. I highly recommend Dylan for any party or event.
Could not have been better. Dylan arrived early, prepared and professional. He transformed a small gathering of friends and family into a memorable celebration. It would not have been the amazing evening that it was were it not for Dylan’s music. He was amazing, integrating seamlessly into our evening and raising us all on the wings of his music. we are truly grateful. Thank you Dylan.
Dylan is a very accomplished musician that will make any event very special with his music repertoire and obvious talent. He has a beautiful voice and his Guitar playing skills are excellent. I was very touched with his warm personality and impressed with his work ethics.
It was a joy to have him entertain my daughters 19th birthday party! Our guests truly enjoyed the moment.
I will highly recommend him as I know he will make any event memorable.
We were so lucky to hire Dylan to perform at our intimate gathering celebrating our 10 year anniversary! He was a joy to work with from the moment we spoke. He was prompt with responses and created the most amazing ambiance for our celebration. From soft background music, to "get on the dancefloor", he nailed it all and knew exactly when to shift the mood. We couldn't have asked for more - thank you Dylan!
Would absolutely hire again in a heartbeat! We loved Dylan! From the start, Dylan was so easy to work with! He was polite, super prompt, always answered my questions, and even dealt with some odd requests from our venue that were needed to ensure he could perform. His voice was lovely and his performance provided the perfect ambiance for our event. I cannot express enough how thankful we are that we found such a great performer! If we have another event in L.A., we would absolutely hire Dylan again! Our guests were even filming him for posts on social media!
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!! :)
I recently hired Dylan Galvin to play music for my wedding ceremony and reception. I wanted to provide honest feedback for anyone looking to hire Dylan for their party, wedding, or other event requiring his diverse brand of music.
Dylan is an awesome musician. He plays guitar with great sensitivity and his voice has a ton of character. Whether he’s playing original music or covers, his performances come off effortless and authentic.For my wedding ceremony, I sent him a specific arrangement to learn and he played it perfectly. As the groom, the most magical moment of the day was hearing a song that meant so much as a couple played and timed perfectly to my bride walking down the aisle.
Four our reception, Dylan played a perfect mixture of music with chill vibes for the cocktail hour all the way to energetic music for the guests to dance to as the night went on. I heard nothing but fantastic things from my guests about the style, pacing, and song choices. Dylan was able to read the energy of each part of the event and respond perfectly with his musical choices.
Since I’ve spoken about Dylan’s artistry and performance, I have to mention how the booking and planning processes went. Dylan was super fast to respond to our initial inquiry. He spoke to my wife and walked her through all of the options. His pricing was fair and direct. Before the wedding, we spoke on the phone about some logistical items and to my surprise, Dylan gave me an awesome, heartfelt pep talk! I can’t say enough how professional and personable Dylan is.
Dylan also allowed us to plug in our own wireless microphone equipment to his amplification for the ceremony and reception so that we didn’t have to rent more equipment. He was very gracious in allowing us to do that. During the reception one of our wireless microphones died before I had to speak. Dylan came running out with his own microphone without skipping a beat - essentially saving the day! Even when he was taking a break, Dylan was still making sure everything was going smoothly for my wife and me.
If you are looking to hire a professional musician with a big heart, Dylan is your guy. Not only will you enjoy the entertainment he provides, but you’ll feel safe and secure throughout the entire logistical process. Personally, I’ll be hiring Dylan again in the future. I can’t wait to see him perform again!
Dylan was extremely professional, quick to respond and easy to work with. My client had some very specific requests on what they wanted playing during their outdoor cocktail hour and Dylan was able to accommodate all of their requests, even down to how they wanted him dressed. He has a great sense of humor and was able to lighten up a situation with some funny words while we fixed an issue.
I highly recommend his services. He travels as well and handles all of his own lodging, which was one less thing I had to worry about. If you are ever in need a fantastic acoustic guitarist, I cannot praise Dylan enough!
We had the pleasure of having Dylan perform at our daughter’s 18th birthday celebration at the W Hotel in Hollywood, and we couldn't be more impressed! His incredible voice truly set the perfect tone for the evening. The diverse selection of music he performed catered to all ages, from teens to older adults, keeping everyone engaged and enjoying the event. Dylan effortlessly transitioned between various genres, ensuring the energy and atmosphere were just right throughout the day. We are already looking forward to booking him for future events. Highly recommend Dylan for any special occasion!
We booked Dylan for our wedding reception and he made the evenings ambiance so much more beautiful! He played very beautifully for several hours, was GREAT to work with, SO kind, and an amazing musician! He was an amazing guitar player and singer & he put an amazing playlist together for our wedding. He also accommodated our special song for our first dance. We highly recommend booking with Dylan for your wedding or event. You won’t regret it!!
Dylan was very professional to work with and very fun to have preform! Everyone loved the music, and he accommodated all our requests from attire to music choices/vibe. 10/10 recommend!
