Perfect Surprise!

WOW. BRIAN CAME TO OUR SMALL, INTIMATE WEDDING CEREMONY ON NEW YEAR'S EVE. HE PLAYED THE PART OF A VENUE STAFF THROUGHOUT THE PHOTOS AND CEREMONY - BECAUSE HE WAS A SURPRISE PERFORMER AT THE END! HE HAD ARRANGED WITH MY HUSBAND TO PLAY AN ACOUSTIC RENDITION OF ED SHEERAN'S 'PERFECT' DIRECTLY FOLLOWING OUR CEREMONY AS A SURPRISE - AND IT WAS MAGICAL. APART FROM BEING A GOOD SPORT AND BLENDING IN WITH THE VENUE STAFF SO AS NOT TO RUIN THE SURPRISE, BRIAN'S RENDITION WAS BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTFELT. HE WAS PROFESSIONAL AND VERY GRACIOUS AND TRULY CREATED A MEMORY FOR US THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

Exactly what our company needed for our VIP night!

Our company is celebrating 100 years in business in 2017 and on October 6th we had a VIP reception in Concord and hired Brian to play beautiful acoustic background music during our customer/business partners reception. Throughout the evening I heard many compliments on his playing, and I whole heartedly agree! Brian was timely, polite, very easy to communicate with, and of course the most important part, he is excellent musician!

We look forward to hopefully booking him again for future events! Ten thumbs up all the way around! Thank you Brian, you were great!

Wonderful musician!

Brian was a consummate professional from start to finish - he was so quick and courteous to respond to our event availability request, and was so kind and prompt about setting our repertoire. Most importantly, he showcased his talent with such patience and grace throughout our cozy cocktail / birthday party. His wonderful and calm presence impressed the birthday boy and all our guests. We will gladly work with Brian again for any special event we host.

Amazing Guitarist

Brian was perfect for our ceremony music. He was very quick to respond with all questions. We were married in Georgetown, ME in September and he was prepared for any surprise (weather) and was ready to help. Luckily, it did not rain but we were never worried about how Brian would handle any situation. On the day of our wedding, he arrived, set up and was ready to go without us ever having to even think about it! His music was beautiful with the right tempo and volume. He also played during our hour-long brunch and was awesome! He is so kind and professional, and you almost do not know he is there (other than his beautiful music). Brian's guitar perfectly filled the room with lighthearted music and set the mood we all were looking for. Brian has a deep library of songs he has already perfected for you to choose from but was also able to accommodate a new one we requested and learn it in time for our wedding. The music really added to the ambiance of the day and our ceremony! Thank you so much Brian!

Just the right note

Brian provided the most beautiful music for our daughter's wedding ceremony. Vocals and guitar added just the right touch to a pretty country wedding outdoors in Maine.

Brian played the perfect music for our wedding ceremony!

Brian was extremely helpful, professional, and a pleasure to work with to create our wedding ceremony. He has a long list of great songs and helped us select the perfect list of songs to make our ceremony exactly what we had in mind. His guitar playing was excellent, our guests we're all raving about how beautiful our ceremony was and Brian was an essential piece of that.

Awesome performance for a summer camp!

Brian came to perform for our local summer camp and it was great to have him there! The campers enjoyed the music, especially because he played songs that they are familiar with.

As a first time Gig Salad user, this worked out great thanks to the artist. He worked with me to create a wonderful surprise proposal for my fiancee. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.

Singing Birthday Telegram

I asked Brian to perform at my friend's office for a milestone birthday on St. Patrick's Day. He was very accommodating and worked with my friend's assistant to make sure the event was a surprise since I was not able to be there in person. Brian was very reasonably priced and he was a big hit at the office. He sang an Irish song and the happy birthday song to my friend.

Great Performer, Great Guy

Brian Callaghan was wonderful at the event, performed amazingly. The crowd loved him and I was so thankful I contacted him. He had the crowd singing along and clapping the whole time. After the show everyone wanted to know who he was and where they could see him again!! So if your looking for someone who is a great guitarist, a professional, and also a fun guy who have people wanting more, then look no further, cause you already found him.
