My now husband (!!!) and I had Ken play at our ceremony over this past weekend. Were were very pleased with his performance, as well as his "customer service." He was super easy to work with and very professional. Also, he accompanied one of my best friends singing during the ceremony, and that really stole the show...we heard about them both all night! Thanks again Ken!

Ken was the perfect musical complement to our ceremony. He was extremely easy to work with and was very flexible. He was able to work with whatever we asked of him. He showed up over an hour early for the ceremony to make sure everything was set up properly. He provided us with a microphone (which I would recommend using if the ceremony is outdoors). Not to mention, Ken is a very talented musician. His guitar was beautiful and the selections sounded phenomenal! Everyone enjoyed his music and we would recommend Ken to anyone and everyone!

Ken was amazing at our ceremony. His Youtube videos, while good, do not accurately describe his music in person where it is simply fantastic. He arrived just on time, prepared and made our wedding truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend him for wedding ceremonies. Thank you very much Ken!

We hired Ken Rothacker to play guitar at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We were happy with him from the start. He was really responsive via email and phone calls. He had no problem with several special requests that we asked him to play for the ceremony.He was the easiest person to work with regarding planning my wedding day. On the day of, Ken was amazing!! We were so happy with all his musical selections! He really went above and beyond what we were hoping for. We received so many compliments on his music! We would love to have him play for us again if we ever had an opportunity. We would highly recommend Ken for any wedding or event that you might need.

Ken was so great to work with for our wedding. We were on an aggressive timeline, and I could not have asked for a more flexible and easy-going vendor. At one point in an email to me Ken wrote something like: My goal is to be your "lowest maintenance, easiest to work with" wedding vendor. I imagine he could hear my sigh of relief when I read his email. Our ceremony music was picked from Ken's existing list, but he was always open to discussing special requests or new songs. We did all of our planning over email and phone, and Ken was always responsive. To top of the wonderful planning experience, we heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests about the music, and it was perfect from our perspective as well. I would not change a thing about our experience with Ken. THANK YOU, Ken, for helping make our wedding day so special!

Ken is a very talented guitarist. He was professional and receptive to our needs. He helped us create the wedding ceremony of our dreams. He has a large collection of songs to choose from and was willing to learn new songs for our ceremony. He was punctual and well prepared. Eveyone is still raving about his performance. We were very happy! :) Carolyn and Greg

We knew that we wanted a guitarist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. And we knew that we wanted someone who could play a wide range of music. And, of course, we wanted someone affordable. Ken provided all that. His music capability and the varied selection of what he could play was fantastic. During the planning, he was very responsive to emails. He was also very professional and experienced, and he would fit in in any setting. Our wedding venue was more formal and he presented himself well. The music was beautiful. We would recommend Ken to anyone!

Ken was an absolute joy to work with. He was responsive, reliable, and flexible. He met with both of us beforehand to get a feel for what we had in mind, and had some great suggestions of his own. He helped shape the ceremony and cocktail hour into just the atmosphere we wanted. He is also willing to learn just about any song on short notice, and will do an amazing job even if he has never heard it before. He also provided a wireless microphone that hooked into his amplifier for our outdoor ceremony so that our officiant and readers could be easily heard. I would highly recommend hiring Ken for your event!

Ken is a fantastic classical guitarist who will play just about anything you ask for. One of the things that is so great is his collection of own compositions and the fact that he is willing to learn any song for an event. He took time with us to help figure out the perfect songs for our ceremony and came equipt with everything he needed to sound great. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He also had a violinist, April, play with him at the ceremony and together they sounded great! Thank you to both of you for such a memorable day!

Ken was outstanding to work with! I knew what I had in mind for my ceremony music, but I didn't have a set list of songs. Ken worked with me to determine what would work with my style and the venue. He also was very flexible when working with our solosit because due to location they were not able to meet before the ceremony and they flowed perfectly together. He promised to be one of my easist vendors and he definitely was. Thank you, Ken!

Ken was fantastic! He was so great to work and very professional with through the whole process. He helped make suggestions and he accomodated our requests. He preformed for our ceremony music and played during our cocktail hour. It sounded great. Our guests loved him, and we couldn't have been happier with his music. He is extremely talented and we would highly recommend him.

We feel so grateful to have had Ken Rothacker perform classical guitar at our wedding ceremony. From start to finish, Ken was reliable, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Our goal was to create an intimate, relaxed and romantic atmosphere for our guests. Ken exceeded our every expectation and set the tone for the ceremony... our guests loved it and we could not have been more pleased with his performance! We strongly recommend booking with Ken Rothacker; he is a brilliant and talented musician!

This guitarist was excellent! My family has high standards in music as my husband, father, and brother are all musicians- but Ken is awesome! He learned several songs by my request, and made our ceremony so special. He would often call before the wedding just so that he could check of I needed anything. After learning one of my "by request" pieces, he emailed me a clip so that I could hear it. It brought me to tears it was so beautiful. The best part was that he was affordable!! Great gutarist- great price.
