"Ben was great! I wish that I had been able to hear more of him, but they kept
me sequestered before walking down the aisle, and by the time I was able to
actually hear him (we had a small venue, so no speakers or amps were used),
I was so giddy that I couldn't perceive anything but my husband. Everyone else
that was able to hear him, though, said he was wonderful! He learned all the
songs I requested, and played it perfectly. He created just the mood that I wanted."
Annie H., wedding July 19, 2009, Vandiver Inn, Havre De Grace, MD
"It was no surprise for my wife Liz and I in receiving so many great compliments on Ben's performance for our ceremony. I had
seen him playing previously at another venue and knew we would be very fortunate in having him for our service. It was clear to
see that he had far exceeded the expectations we both had and was truly a big hit in conversation amongst family and guests."
Paul and Liz Q.; wedding May 28, 3008, Milton Inn
"Ben was just amazing to work with and once we heard him in Carroll County playing a free concert of classical music we knew immediately we made the right decision. He was professional as well as responsive. His quality of service, music and all around friendliness was nothing short of top notch. He played for our wedding (approx. 50 people) ceremony as well as our reception. It was about 110 degrees outside which is where everything was held - You never would have thought as he was just wonderful. We also had a big party for our friends in October in which Ben also played (along with Elena) there were about 120 people there it was raining so hard as well as 40 mph winds and again nothing bothered him. He is one class act and a new friend for my husband and I that we think very highly of."

"First, let me start by saying that Ben is an amazing musician. My wife and I hired him to perform during our ceremony as well as during the cocktail hour after the ceremony. We received so many compliments from our guests who were extremely impressed by Ben's playing. With so many other hectic wedding arrangements that needed attention, it was a pleasure to work with a professional of Ben's quality. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who needs an experienced musician for your wedding."
Walt and Lisa S., wedding June 16, 2007, Woodholme Country Club
"Ben is a very talented guitarist with a repertoire of songs ranging from Bach to Rascal Flatts. He played the music for our entire wedding ceremony as well as several sets during our reception. I am a music teacher in a public school system and can knowledgably say that he knows his stuff. He was always professional, friendly, and accomodating as well. We were so comfortable with him as a person, not just as an incredible musician, that we included him as a guest at our reception dinner!" Jennifer S., wedding July 7, 2007, Eylers Valley Chapel, Thurmont, MD
"I can highly recommend Ben Sherman. He played guitar for my outdoor garden wedding ceremony in Aug. '05 at the Carroll County Farm Museum. He was very helpful in helping us choose the music, sent a great sample CD out immediately, and very accommodating for our special requests. People commented afterwards how much they liked the music, and how cool it was to hear some soft and romantically done "Zeppelin" added to the mix along with our classical choices. Ben was easy to deal with and delivers absolutely beautiful music."

"Ben is an exceedingly dynamic guitarist. Having watched him perform for years, I knew we had to have him play the prelude and ceremony for our wedding. Ben provided us with a disc and list to pick our song choices from and even played a special song that I requested just prior to the processional. Ben was easy to book, responsive to all of our questions and of course prompt for the ceremony. Many of our guests complimented us (and Ben) for the choice to use classical guitar for the wedding as a very "classy" variation. Ben made that possible."
Brian S., wedding Nov, 13, 2004, Big Baker Chapel, McDaniel College, Westminster, MD
"The music Ben provided for the ceremony and coctail hour following, was perfect!
His extensive song library, including many
wonderful originals, brought us many compliments about the music we offered our guests. His playing style and technique,
instrument tone quality, volume level, top notch equipment, and professional demeanor was enjoyed by all...
We highly suggest chosing Ben for your entertainment, and look forward to recommending him for anyone we know, that is getting married.
He also is a fantastic guitar teacher, and plays music in an assortment of other musical projects with other top rated artists."
