I used John for a beach proposal and he was amazing and really easy going. He made a very stressful situation extremely easy and did exactly what I needed. His video's do not do his voice and guitar skills justice. He was able to play the music I asked for without issues... Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, and Ed Sheeran.
Thank you again Jon, We will definitely use you again in the future.

Thank you so much, Brandon! Congratulations on your engagement. You were a great customer, and I hope I can play for you again, soon. Best wishes to you both.
I hired Jon to be a singing guitarist in a part of my incognito marriage proposal to the love of my life. From the get go I knew that Jon would go above and beyond. We coordinated for how long I needed him and for what songs he would play, for a secretly marriage proposal event. He communicated back to me with draft recordings of the songs and everything was good to go! Once the day came, he ended up being in place with all his equipment almost an hour early to really bring home the illusion of being a natural performer at a nice dinner restaurant. Once we started our routine, he started singing and kept it going for much longer than I had expected, really displaying an awesome selection of romantic songs for us to listen to in our own private show. And it was SUPER HUMID outside where we were. Just know that this dedicated performer wants to give you the value you desire and then some! Jon’s professionalism, along with his breadth of experience tracking all the way back to his time in the Navy(look him up), shows that he truly cares to make your evening memorable. I recommend this rising performer to be at your event, no matter how big or small! Book this dutiful veteran today because it’s a testament to what this country creates, and rewards those who work to add immeasurable value to it every day.

Thanks so much for the review, Cristian! I'm glad I got to be a part of your special day. Cheers to you and your future wife!
Jon kept the night alive with his beautiful music. He did amazing slow dance songs and got everyone dancing. Highly recommend!

Response from Jon Horton Music:
I had such a great time! Thank you so much for the opportunity to play for your friends and family.
I had a great time working with Jon from the moment we connected online, to the night of the event. He was very punctual when arriving to set-up in time for the Cocktail reception, and I could tell that our guests (including myself) very much enjoyed his music all throughout his set.
Overall, it was a pleasant and easy-going experience working with Jon, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire an excellent acoustic performer at their next corporate event!

Thank you Catherine! It was a pleasure playing for you!
Jon, was on time and on point with his music selection. He was open for requests but we felt it best to cut him loose and have him do his favorites. Great night of friends and live music.

Thanks Jeff! It was such a special gig. Thanks for hiring me!
Video doesn’t do it justice! Great service even in the last minute and he was waaaay under the price of the competition!

Jon arrived early without any issues. He was prompt to set up without interrupting the party. His 45 minute set was great. The crowd was really into it. We asked Jon if he would learn a song that wasn't on his list and he agreed. He performed it and it sounded perfect. Jon also agreed to incorporate african drums into his set to distinguish himself from the other performer we had perform prior in the day. The crowd absolutely loved it...especially the birthday boy (a 1 year old)! We would highly recommend Jon Horton for any event.

Response from Jon Horton Music:
It was an honor to play for you guys! I hope we cross paths again! Best wishes to all 3 of you!
Jon filled in at last minute for my daughters wedding and I will forever be grateful. He played the music we asked, well and professionally. He did not have a long enough extension cord and we had to scramble for that, and he threatened to leave if the ceremony went long, all right before we were headed down the aisle. All said, everyone enjoyed him and he would have been 5 stars without the drama.

Response from Jon Horton Music:
Thank you for the review, Stace. I enjoyed playing for you, but the complaints in the review are not fair. As I was setting up all my equipment on the beach (btw I did not know I was playing on the beach until I arrived), I was informed that you were not expecting a PA system, but rather just some acoustic guitar with no amplification at all. I kindly suggested against it since no one would hear me amidst the wind and the waves. This suggestion was taken, but now there was no power supply present for the PA. I had a long extension cord that was more than long enough for normal situations, but this was not the case here. Thankfully, you found more cords to reach about 200 feet away at the building.
For your second complaint: Five minutes before I had to begin playing, the ceremony was not ready to start. The altar was not setup yet, and no one had shown up in the seats, so I assumed the ceremony might run late (much later than just 5 minutes). So, I kindly suggested that we can simply renegotiate if I was needed for more time than intended. This suggestion was taken and I only suggested a small amount more if you needed me for 30 more minutes. Thankfully, the ceremony ended right on time (it was only 10 minutes long), and I didn't need to extend my time—or increase my fee. I'm glad my suggestions helped your wedding, and best wishes to the bride and groom.
