Gareth Bush - Singer Guitarist

I highly recommend Gareth. First, he sings and plays very well! Second, in the planning process, he was very accommodating and communicated clearly and in a timely fashion. We set up the proposal as if he was just a busker in the park, but then he played all our favorite love songs! His repetoire is huge, and he was accomodating as my song list evolved. Thirdly, he was a positive presence in the moment as he was mindful and smart during the thirty minute set. He played a first song and then played softly in the background as I proposed and then started with the chorus of the second song "You are the Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne at exactly the right moment after I proposed. Movie moment. His arrangements of the songs were just right for a proposal (knowing to leave out that verse because it doesn't quite fit the moment, etc). Also, it was an outdoor proposal in April and the weather was not great. It was a cold and windy, but Garret was a trooper and played through what must have been adverse conditions for him. As a guy we didn't know present at one of the most important moments of our lives, he was friendly and positive without being too much. Classy, reliable, and very talented. Just book him.

Gareth was the perfect addition to our Fall wedding! We originally found him on Wedding Wire and after listening to him on Spotify, knew right away that we wanted him to play during our ceremony. From our initial communication, he was friendly, flexible, and responsive, offering a wide repertoire of well-known songs. He even offered to learn a song that was really special to us!

Gareth played both our outdoor ceremony and outdoor cocktail hour and our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about his presence. It really tied the whole day together and set the vibe! We would recommend him to anyone looking for live, acoustic music at their event.

Thanks Gareth!

Gareth was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. He performed our ceremony music and cocktail hour music. He was very responsive over email and was wonderfully easy to work with. We setup twice due to a rain plan at the venue and Gareth was flexible about setting up twice and very calm about the last minute change. Would highly recommend!

Gareth brings a polished singer-songwriter vibe with a side of ruggedly handsome charm. Our guests were are enamoured as we were. He even stepped up to fill in an awkward pause caused by a technical difficulty. Gorgeous in all senses of the word.

Amazing service & agility. Gareth worked with us to create the perfect play list & even learned new songs for us. My guests loved him!

Gareth is talented, kind, and made our wedding night magical. Our first dance during his performance couldn’t have been more romantic, and it’s a memory we will forever cherish. We felt honoured to have him and simply put- he’s amazing!

We hired Gareth for the music for our wedding ceremony in July 2022. He was extremely responsive by email, and his contract was very straightforward, which made planning very easy as we knew what to expect. Gareth was on time and set up before our guests arrived, and performed for them ahead of our ceremony.

Our guests absolutely loved his performance, and have been praising him over the past month. Gareth learned a new song for me to walk down the aisle, and his rendition was perfect, and better than I could have ever hoped.

Gareth is a complete professional. You can tell that he has done this for many years, which was the reason why we hired him. His timing is impeccable, and he will pick up on the smallest cues to keep the flow of your ceremony smooth. For example, he naturally extended/shortened songs to ensure the timing worked for walking down the aisle and signing the marriage license.

I have absolutely no regrets about hiring Gareth and will recommend him to everyone I know who is looking for a guitarist for an event. He is well worth his rate and in my opinion, he truly is the best in the city.

Gareth was truly incredible. Not only did he enhance our ceremony by beautifully playing exactly what we had requested, but he was also a hit with our guests from all generations throughout the night. So much so that we even extended his time on the night of to give them more of what they loved. Thank you Gareth, we highly recommend him to all considering!

If Gareth isn’t the first vendor you schedule - you’ve already made a mistake.

Gareth works efficiently, professionally and more importantly, is a brilliant musician. Gareth was reassuring and supportive throughout our many covid related delays but his performance was well worth the wait. Weeks after our wedding, guests are still commenting about our entertainment.

Thank you Gareth.
