Guitarist & Singer Charlotte

Enriching The Moments That Matter Most 

 Johnny Rockett   

Destination Wedding Guitarist

Elegant, live music that defines the moment

I am an acoustic guitarist and singer and I believe that the right music can completely transform an experience. What kind of moment do you want to enshrine in your memory forever? What kind of experience do you want to share with everyone you love most on your wedding day? My performances are designed for the intimate chapters of your wedding day. From your walk down the isle to the first dance, my goal is to enrich the moments that matter most. With live music that moves beyond what you hear, you’ll remember your wedding not only for how it looked, but for how it made you feel.

    "Outstanding experience! Johnny played the music at my wedding ceremony. He had some great suggestions and even learned a few that I specifically wanted. Several of my guests mentioned his rendition of, "I wanna hold your hand" by the Beatles. He was early for the event and helpful when he realized we forgot a mic for our vows and set one up for us. 100% recommend him for your event."
