Gareth is the best!

We found and hired Gareth for our wedding almost 2 years in advanced and we are beyond grateful we did. From the get go he was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with via email, as well as highly personable. The fact that Gareth is the top reviewed wedding singer and has well over a hundred 5 star reviews speaks for itself— he is 100% worth the hype. Gareth’s song catalogue is massive and he truly has something for everyone.
We hired Gareth for 4 hours so he played our cocktail hour and throughout dinner, and our guests absolutely loved him! Many of our guests came up to us throughout the evening to let us know they were blown away by all the song choices and his voice, and felt that he was such an awesome touch to have at our wedding. If you are on the fence about hiring Gareth for your wedding or special event, just do it— you will not regret it! 10/10 highly recommend!

Thank You Gareth - magical ceremony!!!

We hired Gareth to play the music at our Christmasy/festive wedding ceremony a few weeks ago! First off, I appreciated that Gareth had such a wide repertoire of songs to choose from and also that he was willing to learn 1 new song (a song from High School Musical haha)! All the songs we had top of mind (other than the one - which was the new song learned) were on his list - made it a very easy planning process! The night before our ceremony, Gareth got sick/had laryngitis. He was transparent with us which we appreciated. Despite feeling off, Gareth pushed through the next day and still performed all our songs (we thought maybe he would only be able to make it through one so it was a super pleasant surprise)! This shows Gareth's dedication to making sure his clients have a special day. The music was beautiful and added such a magical feel to the ceremony. Thank you Gareth!

Gareth, a fantastic choice for your special occasion

We had the pleasure of having Gareth play at both our wedding ceremony and reception, and he was absolutely fantastic! He brought such a beautiful energy to the day, playing every one of our special requests perfectly and making each moment feel even more memorable. He was also so easy to work with—professional, flexible, and clearly passionate about what he does. We couldn’t have asked for better music for our day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented guitarist to make their event extra special!

Absolutely blown away!

Gareth performed at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with from our very first email to the day of our wedding. His talent is undeniable, and he truly knew how to engage and energize the crowd. He played an incredible variety of songs—many of which completely blew me away. Without a doubt, I’ll be hiring Gareth again for future events.

Awesome Singer

We asked Gareth to entertain our guests for an hour before the ceremony, play the entire ceremony, and entertain the guests for the cocktail hour. Gareth was incredible! We had 150 guests and they couldn't say enough about his vibe, song selection and voice. Gareth had both the young and old singing along during the cocktail hour. We seen nothing but smiles and laughter. HIGHLY recommended!!

Gareth is Amazing!!!

Gareth just sang for us at our wedding cermony and reception this past weekend. All I can say is WOW. Gareth exceeded all our expectations!! He performed beautifully and masterfully the entire time. Our guests absolutely loved Gareth and his energy. Many are still messaging me to say how great he was and to say how fun our wedding was because of him. Gareth is extremely skilled at reading the room and playing what the crowd wants to hear. He knows so many songs of so many different genres, and he performs them wonderfully. We were singing along to songs all night long!! We loved Gareth so much that we hired him on the spot to come and play for an extra few hours at an after party at our home. It was like an outdoor concert under the stars. If you’re thinking of hiring Gareth - do it!! You will not regret it!
Thank you Gareth for making our day so memorable!

Perfect addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour!

Gareth was an absolute pleasure to work with as our live musician! Communication leading up to the wedding was seamless, and he had an incredible selection of songs for us to choose from. We requested that he learn an additional song that wasn’t on his list, and he performed it beautifully. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about his performance and even asked if he was staying to perform for the rest of the evening! Highly recommend Gareth for any event!

Hi Everyone!

I've been performing at weddings pretty much nonstop for the past 5 years and have had a blast. Well over 150 in the past couple years alone, crazy! Since my main page bio tells you what you need to know musically and professionally, I suppose I'll tell you a little bit about myself.

When I'm not working I spend most of my time going to concerts, running, watching the Raptors/Leafs, hitting up cool pubs and coffee shops and petting my dog Maple (she's the best). I've called Toronto home for quite a while and love it here. Big fan of spontaneous travel and trying new things. Conan O'Brien is my spirit animal. Still trying to process the final season of Game of Thrones.

Looking forward to meeting you at your future wedding!
