• I have had the pleasure of working with Nick Doak on a number of projects involving classical guitar and I highly recommend his services. I have known him for several years and can say he plays beautifully and provides a professional performing service for weddings, corporate events, dinners and private events, and the like. He is reliable and easy to work with. I have consistently recommended him to venues in our area and my wife and I are very proud to have him as an excellent teacher working with me at a local guitar lesson studio. I never think twice when referring students to him. Anyone out there looking for a classical guitarist - this is your man! ---Nate R.

• Nick was the perfect addition to our ceremony...Nick performed our pre-ceremony and ceremony music. It was fantastic. As a bride, you do not want to worry about details the day of. Nick was extra prepared and kept in great contact with me prior to our big day. He arrived extra early to set up and carried himself with the greatest deal of professionalism throughout the night.  For the pre-ceremony he did classical guitar renditions of our favorite Beatles songs. My only complaint is that I was hidden away from the crowd and was unable to enjoy the music for myself. My guests raved about how nice it was to have some light and familiar tunes prior to the start of the ceremony.  Nick also did the music for our processional, for my walk down the aisle, and for the recessional. The songs we picked were not traditional and not easy, but Nick did not skip a beat.  We were so happy to have had Nick’s music incorporated into our wedding day. It was not a DJ pushing the play button as I walked down the aisle, it was beautiful music played with passion and everyone could feel it. :) ---Lindsay B.

• We hired Nick to play acoustic guitar before and after our ceremony. Nick was courteous, responsive, professional and excited to play at our wedding. He supplied recommendations for the ceremony music at my request and I was able to take the traditional music and mix it with less traditional music. Nick was more than willing to work with our requests. We booked him two months before the wedding, and he was very courteous considering our hectic schedule and my sometimes slow response time. He was also upfront about costs before the wedding which was very nice. The day of the wedding is always crazy and you worry if everything is taken care of and did all your vendors show up. Nick was very professional, showed up at the time he said he would be there, played beautifully before and after the ceremony and even came up and quickly said goodbye and thanked us after the ceremony. We were really happy with his service and highly recommend him! --- Malena G.

• I had Nick play for my wifes birthday party, 30 guests in a small house, Nick started playing and everyone enjoyed his calm music. People relaxed and the party became a great success. Thanks for your 2 hour performance and sorry you didn't eat, you don't know what you missed :). ---Stirling S.

• Nick played for our wedding, providing music for seating as well as during the ceremony. On top of sounding great, his timing was perfect during the processional and while we lit the unity candle. Nick was also great to work with beforehand- our communication was open and he was easy to get in touch with, and happy to accommodate our music selections (which were outside of "classical" for the most part). The ceremony went exactly as I'd hoped it would with nice, ambient acoustic music and I would recommend that anyone looking for the same for their event book Nick! ---Aubrey E.
