Wedding services

My mission is to provide a memorable musical experience the way you imagined it for your wedding day.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! As you plan this special day, consider adding the elegant touch of live classical guitar music. My name is Garrett Pelland and I am a professional classical guitarist based in Maryland. With over a decade of experience performing at weddings and special events, I am passionate about creating a warm, intimate atmosphere for couples and their guests.

Imagine walking down the aisle to the sweet sounds of Spanish or Latin guitar, or enjoying a romantic dinner accompanied by soft and subtle classical pieces. From traditional wedding songs to contemporary love ballads, I have a vast repertoire of music that can be customized to fit your unique style and taste.

Not only will live music add an unforgettable element of charm and sophistication to your wedding, but it also provides a personal touch that recorded music simply cannot match. Plus, as a solo musician, I am able to provide this service at a reasonable price point without sacrificing quality or professionalism.

So why not make your big day even more memorable with the timeless beauty of live classical guitar music? Contact me today to discuss how I can help create the perfect ambiance for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception.
