    Do yourself a favor and book Nick! AMAZING!!!

    You cannot go wrong with Nick. He is amazing, talented, knowledgeable, prepared for anything, so quick to respond, and up to play any music! We hired Nick and Brian to play guitar and violin for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. I can’t tell you how many of our guests were raving about them! These two were so much fun and provided a beautiful soundtrack to our wedding. I’m still getting texts and calls from our guests saying how wonderful they were and so unique. I was glad I could attend cocktail hour to hear them play! Do yourself a favor and book Nick now for the most amazing and memorable wedding music experience!!!!

    Wonderful and talented

    Nick has been an absolute pleasure to work with especially during the crazy times brought on by the pandemic. Easy to communicate with and always understanding and easy going. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a talented artist to perform for their wedding.

    Wonderful Addition to our Wedding

    My husband is a guitar player and loved music so having a quality musician for our wedding was very important to us. Nick delivered on incredible quality and professionalism. Nick provided ideas for our playlist and helped us through the process. I wanted a unique song for my processional that was difficult and Nick learned it with ease. It made our wedding day even more special and enjoyable. His music during our backyard wedding's "cocktail hour" added such a fun element and many guests commented how great he was. I would highly recommend Nick.

    awesome live music

    We hired Nick and his friend Brain Fitzy who plays Violin to perform at our wedding for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They were very easy to plan with and very responsive with everything we asked in the planning process. We picked them because they were able to play music beyond just a music list which all the other musicians had. They were able to play a wide range of music from oldies, alternative, and adult pop and excel in each area. They showed up early and were very response to direction from the venue staff about where to set up. During the cocktail hour we had a significant amount of guests tell us about how good their music was and how Nick and Brian were such a good combo. For anyone getting married who would like live music I would 100% recommend them to play at your wedding.

    Wonderful guitarist!

    Nick was absolutely fantastic! We had him perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was beautiful. For our ceremony we asked for him to sing a specific song for my procession and it was beautiful! The song had a lot of meaning in the lyrics so I was so happy that he did that. We also asked for a slightly different recessional song (Jurassic park theme) and our guests loved it! We also received many compliments of his performance during the cocktail hour. Nick is super friendly and responsive and extremely affordable. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a guitarist!!

    Thank you Nick!

    We hired Nick to play during our wedding ceremony and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to do so! He was so easy to work with and offered to learn a few specific songs we requested. He also sent us samples ahead of time to confirm everything sounded okay before the big day. We would highly recommend Nick as a professional guitarist to bring beautiful acoustic music to any wedding venue.

    9/1/18 wedding

    Nick played for our ceremony and cocktail
    Hour at our wedding and he was seriously incredible. Planning with him was so simple and he made the process so easy. He was very responsive to all of our emails and questions. He has a wide range of music that he plays and will provide you with many suggestions for any songs you may need. We picked the specific music for our ceremony but for cocktail hour just gave him our “vibe”’with some artists and genres that we like and he crushed it! We received so many compliments on his music. Nick is also a very kind person and it was truly a pleasure to work with him! We would highly recommend him!!

    My husband and I are so thankful to have found Nick to play at our ceremony and cocktail hour. So many of our guests have commented on his amazing talent and how they really enjoyed listening to him play and sing at our cocktail hour. Nick was willing to learn 2 songs for us for our ceremony, and it made the ceremony extremely special for us. He was so easy to work with before hand as well. You will be lucky to have him play for you!

    Nick did the music for our wedding ceremony and during our cocktail hour. He did an amazing job for all of it. He gave us some examples for what other couples had picked as far as processional music which ended up being a huge help because I had no idea what i wanted. Nick is definitely a man of incredible talent and I would definitely recommend him for your wedding!

    Nothing but praise for Nick Doak. Music was wonderful and exactly what I asked for. Very professional and I loved that the volume was just right. As for flexibility, the wedding reception was relocated at the last minute due to a fire at the original location. No problem for Nick. I notified him first thing morning of wedding and he was there on time and at the correct venue. No worries and I wouldn't hesitate to use his service again.

    Nick kept his promise of a stress-free and fun planning experience from start to finish. So glad we went with Nick for our ceremony and cocktail hour. All the guests were so impressed with his talent and musical selections. We can't believe all that sound came from just him--he sounded like a trio or full band. Among being professional and responsive, he was so easy going and accommodating. We definitely plan to use his services in the future!

    Nick did a phenomenal job playing during my wedding ceremony. I wish we hired him for the cocktail hour as well! He knew how important the music to us and he did not disappoint. I was able to sneak out of the bridal suite for a second to listen to him play as guests arrived. He created a romantic flow, which was just what we wanted for our small winter wedding. Nick is a true professional you can count on, and an all around great guy.

    We are so happy we found guitarist, Nick, and violinist, Brian Fitzgerald, for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were so responsive and helpful for the whole process. We wanted some modern music for our ceremony, and Nick offered suggestions and advice that ultimately led us to unique songs that we'll associate with our wedding forever. The duo sounded fantastic and was so attentive to the timing of the ceremony. They added such a special touch to our cocktail hour, and all of our guests loved the music. They even able to accommodate song requests on the fly! Definitely reach out if you're considering their guitar/violin combo for your wedding!

    Nick was absolutely great! We hired him to play classical guitar for our outdoor wedding ceremony. He learned several new songs for a wedding, some that were quite out of the ordinary, and he was extremely professional about everything. He was the only classical guitar player we spoke with that could play in an outdoor ceremony with no temperature or weather restrictions, as long as we could keep his electrical equipment dry. His music was beautiful, and for the service he provides he comes at a really great value. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.

    We hired Nick for our Fall wedding and he was fantastic! We told Nick we weren't really looking for classical music...we wanted more of an edge and he definitely brought that to the table, playing us a super fun selection of pop music, love songs, and my husband's special request, Star Wars themes. We are a bit nerdy, and we were so glad Nick could accommodate our unique style! We hope to hire him for our family's annual Spring Bash in May. Thanks again Nick for your excellent services!

    Nick is awesome! He's incredibly talented and is super laid back. I hired Nick to play the guitar and sing for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He played instrumental guitar and led a worship song during the ceremony and played acoustic Italian guitar for the cocktail hour. I was a little nervous because of how few questions he asked and how little he needed from me leading up to the wedding. But he did not disappoint. He delivered exactly what he promised and created the perfect atmosphere for my ceremony and cocktail hour. I even forgot to write him the check to give to him before he left and he kindly reminded me and was so patient and laid back about it all. I highly recommend!

    Nick is the best! With his experience, he made every step of the process very simple. He was very accomodating. We requested specific songs that he had no problem learning for the wedding. He also recommended songs that ended up being perfect for the ceremony. We got so many compliments from our guests. 10/10 stongly recommend!

    I loved Nick Doak. He was extremely flexible when it came to song selection (the guy can play everything). He was able to accommodate last minute changes. He is such a gentleman and so professional that you will want to introduce him to everyone at the wedding. I would highly recommend Nick Doak.

    Nick played guitar for us and our guests during our short outdoor wedding ceremony in May 2017. Nick was professional, accommodating and flexible throughout the whole process but especially with this bride's last minute decision making!! It seemed like there were endless songs in his repertoire... from current hits to old classics and everything in between. We would highly recommend Nick to any and all future brides and grooms!

    Nick is a world class musician and was one of my groomsmen. I have known him for over a decade and can guarantee he will go above and beyond for your event. He took the time to learn my wife's favorite song for her to walk the isle. I do not just reccomend but insist you hire Nick to make your special day that more special. He is a true gentleman and a musical mastermind.
