Our party was a Celebration of Life for my wife. Pavel did a GREAT performance.

Pavel was so easy to work with in the lead up to our intimate wedding. He learned a couple new songs at our request and really added to the atmosphere. We would be delighted to work with him again in the future!

We had an amazing driveway concert this evening. Pavel did a fabulous job!

Pavel did our backyard wedding - so great! Music choices were spot on - he moved with our crowds. Set the tone - but not overpowering! He was the perfect choice and look forward to having him again at other events! We got countless compliments!

Pavel played classical guitar at our outdoor wedding ceremony, and it helped make the day absolutely perfect. He played for the guest arrival, ceremony, and the cocktail hour. He allowed us to select the ceremony songs, and he even learned my wife's favorite song for her entrance! I cannot imagine a more perfect musical background to an outdoor wedding, and I cannot imagine a nicer and more talented guy to perform it. He is extremely easy to work with; I enjoyed communicating with him prior to the event, and was happy that he was a part of our big day. I couldn't recommend him more!

Pavel was wonderful! He was on time and his music was fantastic. We'll definitely hire him again.

Response from Pavel Jany:
Dear Julie,
Thank you for your nice review! It was my pleasure to be performing at your daughter's wedding, and I thank you again for having me.
All the Best,
Pavel Jany
Clearly understood the role and atmosphere we asked him to provide. High quality musician who was prepared, timely and personable. We asked him to provide background instrumentals for a retirement reception event. I believe he could have also taken "center stage" if that had been what we asked him to do.
