Welcome to my site! I am a professional guitarist playing wedding gigs in the St Louis metro area. Please explore my site and contact me if you would like to check my availability for your wedding. I would be happy to meet with you and plan a unique presentation of memorable music for your special occasion.

At a typical wedding ceremony, I perform a program of classical music as the guests assemble, as the bridal party enters, as the bride enters (processional), and as the bride and groom exit (recessional). At some ceremonies I am also requested to provide accompaniment for a vocalist, or play solo guitar arrangements of popular songs. Some couples have specific songs they would like me to arrange as a guitar instrumental, and I’m happy to do this at no additional charge. In addition to ceremonies, I am often also contracted to play after the ceremony during cocktail time and/or during the reception dinner. At such times I typically play more contemporary tunes covering pop, and jazz styles. If you need music for your ceremony as well as during cocktail or dinner, the versatility of the guitar in covering traditional and contemporary music makes it a much better choice than typical string ensemble or other classically oriented groups.

I bring my own high quality audio equipment, sufficient for gatherings of up to 150 guests (indoor or outdoor). If you are planning a larger wedding, I can either plug into the venue’s PA or arrange a rental for a nominal upcharge. All I require is a 6ft x 6ft space, an armless chair, a power outlet, and about 20 minutes to setup before the ceremony. To contact, please email me at jkasthuri9@gmail.com, or call me at (630) 272-9196.
