Guillermo Paolisso, Guitarist

Guillermo filled in on a last minute request to play during the ceremony of our wedding after our original musician had to cancel. He delivered an amazing performance and was truly professional with communication and timing.

Wonderful musicians! They were on-time, knowledgeable, personable and talented. They even led much of our community singing for Las Posadas.

Guillermo is a pro and master of his trade! We had a fantastic time and danced the entire evening! I would book him again and recommend him any time!

We had a fantastic experience with Guillermo’s team! His level of communication was terrific and the dancers and guitar player were incredibly talented! Everything went smoothly, we would highly recommend a booking with Sonus!

Guillermo is a fantastic musician and was such a pleasure to perform with!

He was available as needed, came well prepared with everything requested and more. The gig was seamless and perfectly executed.

I highly recommend him!

Guillermo was a absolute pleasure to work with. He arrived early to set up and was already playing as guests were arriving. The time leading to our luncheon he was quickly responsive on all questions I had. He even suggested a put together a playlist of songs he can possibly perform. I highly recommend him. My wife’s family and mine were very impressed with his performance. We will definitely be recommending him to everyone looking for live entertainment. Nuevamente muchisimas gracias Guillermo!

We loved the way they performed.
Thank you guys.

Guillermo made my day very special. He was great communicating during the very busy wedding season. My guests were very impressed with his guitar skills.

Guillermo was quick to respond, communicative and professional. His skills were amazing and it created the perfect atmosphere for my event. I highly recommend him!

My husband and I hired Guillermo for our intimate outdoor wedding ceremony this month and he was truly amazing! He is so talented and his music made our ceremony even more special. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Guillermo, for making our special day even more memorable!

Gracias Guillermo por tocar Boleros, Rock en Español, y Salsa! Mis invitados quedaron encantados y nos ayudaste a convertir una boda simple a una boda elegante. Los recomiendo mis veces!

Thanks Guillermo for playing Boleros, Rock en Español, and Salsa music! My guests were in love with your music and you helped us transform a small simple wedding into an elegant wedding! I highly recommend his band!

One of the most professional performer I have known. Highly recommend and will definitely consider for future event.

My husband and I heard Guillermo at The Allis a few months ago and found him to be extremely talented. When many of our wedding plans were disrupted this Spring, we reached out to see if he could play our reimagined wedding at our house in September. Guillermo was available, video called to see the space, and pulled together other musicians for a complete band. The day of, they were prepared and professional. They were originally playing for 3 hrs, but our guests were having such an amazing time, we asked them to play longer and they made it happen! The music was upbeat, lively, beautiful and everyone loved the personality. They also allowed my father in law to join in on some guitar and singing. We will plan to see him play again!

I cant be more grateful to Guillermo Paolisso. He made our wedding reception an unforgettable one. What a talented artist!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! Everyone enjoyed his music. He played all kinds of music including: Latin, Spanish, Brazilian, Boleros you name it.. “Despacito” and “En mi Viejo San Juan” we’re definitely the highlight of the night! Thank you!!!!

Guillermo and his co-guitarist played music at our small backyard wedding reception. The two were incredible and so easy to work with. Due to COVID restrictions, we had to change a few events for our day. Guillermo was very flexible in working with changing event times. They were also very respectful of social distancing measures.

Also, Guillermo was able to learn a favorite song of ours in a very short time to play as our first dance song. It turned out just beautifully! I would definitely recommend!!

Guillermo played at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on November 23rd. He did an amazing job with the song choices that I choose for our ceremony. I wasnt picky about what he played for the cocktail hour, but he did a phenomenal job. I'm happy that I trusted the previous reviews that he has had by other people. Hes professional and a really great guitarist. Thank you for sharing your skill on my special day!

Guillermo is an incredible musician. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. Our receptions guests were so impressed.

We booked the Guillermo Paolisso Quintet for a corporate event celebrating Hispanic Heritage month and were very impressed.

I hired Guillermo and his trio for a business dinner a couple weeks prior to my event and he was very flexible and really worked with me in terms of availability, payment method, prompt communication, etc..I really appreciated the variation in music (which they performed beautifully) and will definitely be reaching out to him again when I need a music group in the future.

Guillermo was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. We had some contact before the event to verify the details (staging, start time, etc.) I originally booked them for 6:30 pm and needed to move them up to 6 pm. They accommodated my request without complaint. We will definitely book them again!

2nd year we have had Guillermo and his music enhanced our conference.

I was hesitant to give a review at first cause didn't know what to really say.
I was excited when I booked Guillermo, I was interested in his music and after reading his reviews I decided to venture out on some new music and artist.
4 days before my wife's birthday bash he decided that he wasn't right and was sending someone else
To play in his place I wasn't to happy with this . On the day of the event some Lady came in an hour early and thought she was lost , she didn't speak English, but after my buddy talked to her she realized that this was the place. I helped them set up the best I could. They played some of my wife's fav songs but we're kinda low in volume couldn't really hear them. Over all I guess they did ok.. then they just left 30 min early . and didn't even check out with me to see how everything went, not very professional in my opinion I didn't even realize they had left. I texted Guillermo the next morning and he didn't return or reply to my text. So kinda dissapointed in the whole thing. I felt like Guillermo abandoned the whole event and r e ally didn't care.

Our party was a bit complicated and Guillermo worked with us to provide outstanding entertainment for our event. Thank you!

We hired Guillermo for our 10 year anniversary dinner to play background instrumental music. We got so much more. He brought a friend to compliment his music and I was so glad he did, (he did not ask for additional money, but I gladly gave him more out of sheer joy of the beauty they created together) I didn't know his friend sang till the end of the evening when he serenaded us with his deep, raspy toned melodies, I wish I had known sooner he san that good! It was exactly what I envisioned....nothing else would have created the magic! I will be hiring them again for my next event....they were worth every penny!

Guillermo was wonderful! He was all set-up and ready to go when we were 😊. Very professional, polite, incredibly talented and versatile musician. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice.

Guillermo & his awesome band members came to our FB Chicago headquarters to help us make the Latin@ event a special celebration. The energy, music quality, preparation, presentation, and execution were all on point! He brought also a lead female singer to compliment the band's songs and blended beautifully with the other performers. If you're looking for artist quality for a special event - Guillermo is your guy. We're def bringing him for all future Facebook events to help us make it one-of-a-kind celebrations. Thank you SO MUCH to you Guillermo & your Fantastic 5!

Great guitarist for background music!

We enjoyed the evening so much! We hired him and his vocalist for my husbands birthday party in the patio and it was such a great evening with their music. He has a great song collection, for our event it was mostly songs in Spanish as that what most of our guest listen to but I heard he plays a wide variety of music , Great performer. He brought a small PA system with a couple speakers which added the touch so we could all enjoy the music. Found him through Gigsalad (my first time using it) and communicated through here at times. He is very prompt about responding back, very trustworthy. Thank You Guillermo and singer!

Guillermo was fantastic! He arrived on time and played a lovely mix of Spanish, jazz and pop for my 40th birthday. We all really enjoyed listening to him play while we had dinner and drinks. Thanks so much!!!

Guillermo and his jazz trio played at our country club's Girl's Night Out and it was a huge success! They played a wide variety of music, all with a beautiful latin flair. The music was up beat, jazzy and current and appealed to the diverse age group that we had in attendance. Guillermo also sang which was a wonderful and unexpected suprise! All three men were superb musicians and were truly captivating. My committee members and I received high praise for our choice of entertainment and were asked when we can have them back again. Guillermo was very professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommed them for any event!

We booked Guillermo for our daughter's college graduation party and he was everything we were looking for and more!! Guillermo was professional, quick to respond, and flexible. His abilities on the guitar are amazing and he was able to play a very wide range of music. Guillermo also brought a wonderful vocalist to accompany him. Our guests were enchanted by them! We can't wait to have them back for another party.
Thanks Guillermo!!

Guillermo played at my engagement which was in 40 degree weather on the lake outside. It was freezing and he had to wait there a while, but he was generous with his time and did an amazing job. My now fiancé loved it as well. He was super easy to communicate with, showed up to the venue a little earlier than he had to and stayed slightly later with no complaints.

I would hire Guillermo again without hesitation. My fiancé and I both truly enjoyed his songs and he added a special memory to our engagement. I without a doubt would refer Guillermo to anyone.

Guillermo and his musicians are amazing! They were perfect for our event --> they played chill music for the first part of the evening when guests were mingling and then got the dance floor hopping later in the evening. The quality of music is top notch and Guillermo and his assistant were both so easy to work with and went above and beyond for us! I highly recommend Guillermo for your event!

Guillermo provided exactly what we needed for our event! He’s a truly gifted musician with the ability to create an atmosphere that changes the room. He’s a true professional!

His perfect music was the soundtrack that made it a perfect party. Thank you, Guillermo.

The Latino Social Workers Organization appreciated the performance of Guillermo Paolisso. Great positive feedback from all who attended, and his performance enhanced our conference. He was very responsive to our program needs, and prompt in communicating thru Gigsalad. Highly recommend him.

Guillermo Paolisso arrived on time and was extremely professional. He and his accompanying singer Paola were fantastic. They really know how to engage the audience and keep the party going. I highly recommend this guitarist.
