    Austin was a dream to work with - his kindness and generosity was beyond appreciative during our planning process! Austin was able to take on learning a special request to play during our wedding ceremony. Austin also played during our cocktail hour and was a hit with the guests!! Having Austin play as guests entered the ceremony, for the ceremony and for cocktail hour true gave our wedding an elevated feel and made our special day truly feel magical! thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!!!

    We were so delighted to have Austin play at my son's wedding. He was very professional and a pleasure to speak with as we discussed music selection. In its simplistic form Austin played such beautiful music creating an intimate, warm and wonderful atmosphere for the garden ceremony. Thank you, Austin, for the lovely music.

    Thanks so much for the review, Judy! It was a pleasure working with you and I'm so glad I was able to match the mood you were looking for. I really enjoyed the challenge of the impromptu addition of "So This Is Love" for the processional :). Wishing everyone all the best!!

    Austin Charnis Guitar was an amazing choice for our wedding artist. We worked with Austin for our ceremony and cocktail party. From the beginning, his communication was informative, organized, and flexible as we worked together to plan the music for our special day. On the wedding day, they were timely, professional, and provided a fun atmosphere with their extensive song catalog. They customized the song list for our ceremony, helping us organize the key moments, and their overall performance was incredible. We would HIGHLY recommend Austin Charnis Guitar to any couple looking for a talented and dependable wedding guitarist.

    Thank you so much, Jillian! You were an absolute pleasure to work with and your music choices worked so well for the stunning walk down the aisle with lake Otsego in the background. Wishing you and Humberto all the best!!
