Grant Swift is the best!

Grant Swift is an absolutely phenomenal musician and performer. He played at our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with his performance. From the moment he started playing, we were blown away by his incredible talent and musicality.

Grant is an incredibly skilled musician who clearly loves what he does. His passion for music shines through in every note he plays, and he has an incredible ability to connect with his audience and create a truly magical atmosphere.

Not only is Grant an exceptional musician, but he is also a true professional. He was extremely easy to work with in the lead up to our wedding, and on the day itself, he arrived well in advance to set up and ensure everything was perfect. He was friendly, approachable, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.

If you're looking for a musician for your wedding or any other special occasion, we cannot recommend Grant Swift highly enough. He is truly one of the best in the business, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him perform at our wedding. Thank you so much, Grant, for making our day so special!

Wedding Reception Musician

Grant was amazing. We hired him for our wedding. I didn't want to go the usual route of hiring a dj. I think djs are tacky for wedding, and who wants to do the cha cha slide at a wedding? The wedding was in a barn filled with antiques and rustic decor. Having a musician made it fit the vibe better. Grant provided a list of songs that he knows- over 400 songs. I selected a bunch from jazz to indie that went with my theme. He also learned the songs for our first dances since they were not in his library. And if you are afraid that no one will get on the dance floor since there's no dj? You're wrong. Guests that were adults and kids were on the dance floor. Everyone had a great time and loved the music and his singing. My cousin who is a music teacher first thought it was a recording that was playing, that is how great Grant sounded. I would recommend Grant for any event

Grant was a big hit!

We had Grant play at our small intimate wedding in Huntington, NY. He played both the ceremony and the indoor cocktail hour and reception. We cannot say enough good things, he was a big hit among our guests, his vocal ability is great and all his renditions of the songs he played was perfect. We could tell he really enjoys what he does. Grant played the songs we selected and did some MC duties, he was very communicative about the whole process leading up to the wedding. Grant was the perfect choice for our smaller wedding of around 40-50 people. Thank you Grant for making our day even more extra special!
