Guitarist for wedding

[preznick555]

My fiance and I are getting married on November 29th in Austin. We would like someone who can play classical guitar to play for about 30 minutes or so before the ceremony and then during the ceremony as well. Anyone have any idea where we could find someone to do this? Would like to keep it ~ a couple hundred $$s or less.

Thanks!

I have taken lessons from a great guy named Seth Forster. He's in Austin. He plays in two local bands, Brewster McCracken Band and Smash Riley, but he's also an accomplished classical guitarist and he does weddings.

He plays in the bands and gives lessons to pay the rent, but I think he's a classical guitarist first.

He has a classical CD out and it's beautiful. Here's his bio from the Smash Riley website. His email is on there.

I have a buddy David Polkingham who plays with Alejandro Escobedo and also plays Wednesday happy hour at Cedar Street. He is great for weddings. Not sure if he is on tour with Alejandro. I left him a msg and I'll let you know.

Mitch Weverka is who you want if he's available. He is a very accomplished classical guitarist. He tours, teaches and performs classical guitar. I know he also works weddings.
