April 20, 2026Scott and his music were a wonderful addition to our wedding
We had Scott play guitar at our wedding during cocktail hour at the Society Room of Hartford during the holidays, and it was the perfect touch. The live music added such a classy, festive vibe and fit the historic space beautifully. He was professional, easy to work with, and we got so many compliments—highly recommend!

July 5, 2025Book Scott, you won't regret it!
I was seeking a classical guitarist for my wedding ceremony and happy hour and was so fortunate to find Scott. I had the chance to listen to him play prior to the ceremony (before I walked down the aisle), during the procession, recession, and throughout cocktail hour and he was exceptional. He is also extremely responsive and thoughtful in his communication. I would highly recommend Scott!

June 19, 2023A beautiful addition to our wedding ceremony
Scott is professional, organized, accommodating, and a wonderfully gifted musician. He took our preferences into account while crafting his set list, learned a couple of songs especially for us, and played exquisitely. We are so glad to have worked with him!

October 28, 2022Scott was INCREDIBLE!
Scott was such a perfect addition to our wedding reception! He kindly and professionally communicated with me throughout every stage of the planning process and was highly reliable. He played a variety of different pieces and offered to learn new music specifically for our event. Our guests were raving about him and his talent all night! We would book him again without hesitation.

Top 5 Reasons You Should Hire Scott Sanchez:
1. Reasonably Priced - The solo finger-style guitar is capable of producing rich sounding arrangements of your favorite music and can create the effect of many musicians playing simultaneously. It is an advantage to your budget to hire Scott, because as a solo instrumentalist, you will not have to pay for the high price of a band or larger ensemble. It is just Scott and his guitar. Also, there are no hidden fees for his services. Once a price is agreed upon, you will not be told later that Scott "forgot" to mention the price of something. All administrative costs (i.e. preparing the contract, e-mail and phone correspondence, working directly with the caterer or event planner if necessary, etc.) are included in fee.
2. Professional - Scott returns e-mails, phone calls and texts promptly (check out his great reviews) and is always easily accessible throughout the planning process. During your event, he will arrive early to set-up his equipment and will be dressed appropriately for your occasion.
3. Volume Control - Scott has a great sound system that makes it possible for him to be heard. Not so loud that your guests will be drowned out by his sound, but loud enough to be listened to at an enjoyable level. Also, if you need to make announcements, or you have an officiant who needs amplification, you are welcome to hook into his amplifier. This is one less hassle you have to worry about when planning your event.
4. Versatility - Your musical desires are important to Scott, and he will be happy to learn music that you request. He loves music, and plays many different styles from classical to modern contemporary popular music and all points in between. If you have a special song or piece of music that you would like him to arrange for guitar, just ask, and he can make it happen. As an experienced classical, rock and jazz musician, he can also perform on nylon string and steel string guitar.
5. Commitment - Music is like breathing for Scott and he greets each musical event as a unique opportunity to share his love and passion. He will give you his very best to help make your special occasion the wonderful experience you deserve!

and confidence that is most convincing."
Soundboard Magazine (U.S.A.)

great sense of infectious enthusiasm for
music."
Classical Guitar Magazine (Great Britain)

ornamentation, expressive vibrato and
broad, warm tone of the Spanish
masters."
