June 2, 2015Louis' playing added the perfect character to our outdoor wedding! He was ready and set up ahead of time and chose an appropriate selection of prelude music.
As the groom, I was unable to meet Louis, but he made it incredibly easy for me to book and prepare for the big day. Thank you, Louis!

September 23, 2013Working with Lou Arnold was pure delight. His selection of music and his playing enchanted my guests. Even the staff at the inn remarked on its charm and said it was the best music at any event they'd worked. In addition, Lou stayed in touch and was friendly and engaging as well as professional. I definitely recommend him for any occasion! Diana Cole

August 9, 2013I hired Lou the Friday before my wedding day. I knew I had wanted a guitarist but thought one of my friends would play.. when that did not pan out I booked online, and Lou contacted me right away. He was so easy to work with on the phone and offered excellent suggestions. He emailed me a quick sample of him playing a song I wanted to hear. For our wedding ceremony he played Andecy by Andrew York for our processional, and B in October for our recessional. The processional had a little delay but Lou handled it perfectly and looped the song over so that it did not seem like an interruption. During the ceremony he played low background music and it was priceless. I especially loved "What the world needs now is love" a Beatles cover that he performed. So Beautiful !!!! Lou's smile and skill set a perfect mood for our wedding ceremony. My only regret is not being able to sit and listen to him play longer. I would recommend booking with Lou again and again, we were so happy !!!! ~Jennie&Jason 08/02/2013

A client should expect me to be proactive, on time, well dressed and focused on providing the music desired for the occasion. An audience member will hear exceptional guitar playing of great beauty that is fun to listen to but not "in your face."
I'm a professional guitarist and a graduate of the Longy School of Music. I perform for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, background music for dinners, receptions and other occasions. I do not sing and I am focused on creating the right ambiance for each event. I have my own sound system that is small and sets up quickly. My repertoire includes music from the Beatles to Bach and I do arrange music for wedding ceremonies by request for a reasonable fee.
