Guitarist/Composer Michael DeLalla

My husband and I booked Michael for our ceremony in Vail CO, and we had a rather unusual request for our processional song...."Fairytale in New York"...but make it wedding friendly. This song is very Celtic and very Christmas, but Michael was able to turn it into a beautiful song that was wedding friendly but still recognizable. It was hands down my favorite part of the ceremony. Michael also played beautifully as guests entered, and was very accommodating of our wacky requests. Working with Michael was easy, fun, and one of my favorite parts of the wedding ceremony!

Everyone enjoyed it!

Beautiful and classy- your work is polished and inviting- thank you for being part of our wedding day!

My wife asked that we have a guitarist for her Celebration of Life. Michael was not only open to the idea but embraced it. His choices of music were appropriate and outstanding. He made himself available from the beginning to the end even though the time table was fluid. Though the loss of my wife was sad the mood was to be upbeat and a true celebration. He contributed to maintaining the celebration while being attuned to the loss. He played a nonclassical song that my wife asked for during the spreading of her ashes. He stayed with the family and close friends that remained into the evening. He even shared his guitar with a friend who wanted to play and sing a song that she had composed. My short time with him made me realize what a good person he is. I hope to see him again at some of his local performances.

We did a destination wedding in the Rocky Mountains. We flew from Chicago and Mr. DeLalla was more than accommodating, professional, incredibly talented, and just an extraordinary person to work with! He accommodated every musical selection we had, and his network of fellow musicians is impressive! Pianists, violinists, you name it, they just come and jam!
He can do classical, rock, oldies, improv and everything in between. Highly recommend for chic private parties or the most prestigious of events!!

Michael is a gem. Talented and caring, I would recommend him to anybody who needs a musician for any occasion.

Michael played amazing and perfect for the event! He is extremely talented and professional.

Michael did a wonderful job providing music for our private client event at the Westin Westminster.
1. His communication both before and after the event was prompt and clear
2. He was on-time in setting up
3. His playing was WONDERFUL, and included both jazz standards, classical, and newly composed works. His repertoire is broad enough that there is something to suit most any taste.
4. He's pleasant and professional to work with.
5. I was able to give him the AV sound contact for the venue and he worked directly with him to make sure sound setup & settings were perfect.

I highly recommend Michael for your event, public or private!

I recommend Michael to anyone that needs a professional musician to provide music for their event. He did a great job!!!

Michael was terrific to work with! He provided helpful suggestions before our wedding and played beautifully during the event! He helped our wedding day to be the day of our dreams.

I had a brunch at my home with about 50 guests of all generations and musical tastes, and I hired Michael to provide an eclectic mix of music ranging from rock to classical. Michael did an outstanding job, and my guests were highly complementary about both his range and ability, as well as his delightful personality. Two of my guests were themselves guitarists, one a classically trained guitarist, and they were very impressed with his technical skills. I couldn't have been happier with our choice.
