FAQ

• What does it cost?

Rates for solo guitar start from $300 - 400 for a two-hour performance. Final pricing depends on the nature of the event, travel, and any special requirements. Contact Ross for a personalized quote.

• How far will you travel?

Ross performs throughout the greater Philadelphia area, the Delaware Valley, South Jersey, the Lehigh Valley and the Jersey Shore — essentially the full tri-state region. Please inquire for events beyond that range.

• Can you learn a specific song for our wedding?

Absolutely. Ross is happy to prepare custom arrangements of your favorites upon request. Just let me know early in the planning process so there's time to prepare your pieces!

• Do you provide your own sound equipment?

Yes — Ross can provide amplification suitable for most indoor and outdoor venues, whether performing as a soloist or with a chamber ensemble. Microphones for officiants are also available.

• What styles of music do you play?

Ross performs a broad range of music: traditional wedding ceremony selections for all faiths, Baroque and Classical repertoire, Spanish and Latin American music (bossa nova, tango, samba), jazz standards, Broadway, and popular songs in a variety of styles.

• How far in advance should I book?

For weddings, booking 6–12 months ahead is recommended as weekends fill quickly. For corporate events and private parties, a few weeks' notice is often sufficient — but sooner is always better!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING,

Susan, Philadelphia - Ross and his violinist set the tone for a graceful ceremony and transitioned to a bustling outdoor cocktail hour with a versatile playlist from classical to jazz, and even bossa nova. Their music added elegance, sophistication & charm to our entire experience. They were the soundtrack to a perfect day!

Paul & Nadia, Philadelphia - When my wife Nadia and I decided to plan a wedding, Ross Mann was one of the first people I reached out to because I knew his musicianship would play an integral role in creating the right ambiance for our special day… From Bach to Jobim to Taylor Swift, Ross can cover any style of music desired. Many of our guests had wonderful things to say about him as well! I would highly recommend for any wedding or event.

Aura - I hired Ross to play classical guitar for a small outdoor celebration. He was great at communicating from the beginning, punctual, polite and above all made my event a beautiful experience. He’s a skilled musician and provided an ambiance for my guests (and importantly myself) to feel relaxed. I would definitely hire him for another event.

Tiffany · Ross played classical guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour and I am so thrilled we found him. He is so incredibly talented...
