James E Barr

For our wedding, we were looking for ceremony music that would fit the atmosphere of our elegant mountain wedding. James Barr fit the bill to a T. He is a very talented classical guitarest that captured the mood of our wedding so well. From our first conversation, James was helpful and informative. He has done a number of weddings in the Carolina mountains and offered a lot of great advice to me. He also has a very broad spectrum of music that he can play. My fiance and I like his work so much, that we also had him play for our cocktail hour and dinner music. James also rolled with the punches in announcing the bridal party, and our first dance, Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances (since our wedding was small and we did not use a DJ). All in all, James and his music added a beautiful dimension to our ceremony and reception and I would definitely recommend him.

We loved having James play the guitar for our ceremony. The choices and variety of songs was perfect for the style of our wedding. James was easy to work with, and very professional. I was able to hear the music wafting up to the window of the Inn where I was waiting while everyone was seated, and it was so relaxing. All of our guests enjoyed the music, and Mark and I thought it was perfect!

Jim is absolutely wonderful!! The samples on his website do not fully do him justice - I am 200% satisfied with Jim!! He played during the ceremony and cocktail hour. SUPER, super nice and sooooo talented!!
