Weddings by J. Daniel Guitar
WEDDING & EVENT GUITARIST – TEMECULA & BEYOND
I play more than just background music — I create the soundtrack that carries your day.
With fingerstyle guitar I can make one instrument sound like an entire band, weaving melody, rhythm, and harmony together. And when it’s time to turn things up — cocktail hour, private events, late-night receptions — I’ll bring out the BeatBuddy which is a a drummer in a box. That kick of rhythm lifts the energy and gets people moving, smiling, and talking.
Couples don’t book me just to “play songs.” They want the flow — a ceremony that feels cinematic, cocktails that come alive, and a reception that moves without awkward stops. That’s what I deliver.
Take a look around my site, listen to a few clips, and if you want music that keeps the day seamless and unforgettable, let’s make it happen.

My Guarantee
Love it or its free
Chosen by couples across California, I’ve built my reputation on making weddings unforgettable. That’s why I back every performance with a simple promise:
If the music doesn’t flow on time, match your vision, and leave your guests talking long after the night is over, you get 100% of your money back.
No fine print. Just confidence built on 15 years of playing for couples who wanted more than background music — they wanted a soundtrack

When you walk down the aisle, the music should do more than fill the silence — it should set the tone for everything that follows.
With fingerstyle guitar, every note carries its own weight. The melody, the harmony, the rhythm, all woven together on one instrument, create a sound that feels both intimate and grand at the same time.
-
Cocktail hour is where the mood shifts from formal to festive.
I’ll wander the crowd, guitar in hand, playing songs people recognize but don’t expect to hear in this way. Guests laugh, sing along, and connect in the moment. It turns background music into part of the celebration.
-
By the time the reception begins, everyone is ready to relax and celebrate.
I use fingerstyle arrangements and, when it fits, a touch of vocals to shape the energy — from your first dance to the quiet moments in between speeches. The goal is to keep the evening flowing without overpowering it.
-
Not every event needs a big band or a DJ. Sometimes a single guitar, played well, is all it takes to create the right atmosphere.
Whether it’s a dinner party, a holiday gathering, or a company celebration, the music adapts to the room — tasteful, versatile, and always professional.
-
Some moments are too important to leave to chance, no matter where they happen.
I travel to bring the same experience you’d expect in Temecula to weddings and events across the country, and beyond. Wherever your celebration takes you, the music comes with it.
