Recent Bridal Reviews

"Stacy Arnold was so wonderful to work with during my wedding planning. I requested a specific song, and he said it was no problem and played it beautifully. He provided music for a cocktail reception and a wedding ceremony--both turned out perfectly. This man is extremely professional and nice, and incredibly talented. I would recommend him, and use him again, in a heartbeat". - Kristin B. (Bride), Wedding Ceremony (Omni Mandalay Hotel-Las Colinas, Tx. )

“Stacy was very professional. He contacted me immediately and we nailed down the date, time, and location. He followed up a couple weeks before the event and we discussed our music selections and his attire. Stacy showed up to our venue promptly and he set up his equipment. He accommodated all of our music requests for our wedding ceremony and played beautiful and appropriate background music during the reception. I highly recommend Stacy for anyone who is in the market for a classical guitarist. He is an absolutely wonderful guitarist and he was a pleasure to work with”! -Casey H, Dallas, TX

"Stacy Arnold was so awesome. I received many compliments on his performance at my wedding ceremony because he played so beautifully. it really made the ceremony much more romantic having a classical guitarist instead of music being played over a speaker. He is also a very nice, genuine person who was very accomodating and helpful throughout the whole entire process. I would gladly recommend him to friends, family, and other brides". -Alyssa A.
