About Austin Charnis Guitar
Austin Charnis Guitar
Your wedding or special event deserves music that is elegant, memorable, and perfectly aligned with your vision. I’m Austin Charnis, a classical and fingerstyle guitarist who curates sophisticated live performances for weddings. I perform in a wide variety of venues — from intimate riverside ceremonies and rustic vineyards to grand ballrooms, luxury estates, and high-end corporate spaces. With years of experience, I anticipate and solve potential challenges before they arise, from acoustics and sound setup to timing cues and flow of the day — ensuring your music is seamless, stress-free, and enhances every moment.
No two couples are alike, and no two wedding soundtracks should be either. Some of my couples want timeless classical music for their ceremony, while others want Spanish or Latin guitar to set a romantic mood during cocktail hour. Many request elegant renditions of pop, classic rock, or even Disney songs that hold special meaning to them. My specialty lies in creating custom arrangements across genres — from Bach to the Beatles, from Bossa Nova to Bruno Mars. The result is a soundtrack that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable. Whatever your style, I make it resonate beautifully in the moment.

“Professional, Responsive, and Talented
Austin Charnis Guitar was amazing to communicate with during our wedding planning process. Even though we ultimately went with a bassist instead, Austin was incredibly professional and easy to work with. He was very responsive to all of our questions and did his best to work with us to fit our needs and budget. Based on our interactions, I have no doubt that Austin and his team would have delivered an outstanding performance on our wedding day. I highly recommend considering Austin Charnis Guitar for your wedding entertainment needs.
Incredible performer, great flexibility!
Austin was absolutely amazing! We hired him about a month out from the wedding after our previous guitarist cancelled on us. Despite how last-minute it was, he dove in head-first, learning the music we needed him to learn, accommodating our requests, and being flexible with our questions and changes. The music itself was played so beautifully (it brought my now-husband who never cries to tears!!) and perfectly, it felt like we hired him a year out as opposed to only a month. Thank you, Austin, for stepping in when we needed you and helping make our ceremony that much more special!
Response from vendor•Jun 12, 2025Thank you so much, Maddy! It was a pleasure to work with you and it was so fun learning "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" which has quickly become one of my favorite songs to play :). Your ceremony was absolutely beautiful and it was an honor to be a part of it. Wishing you all the best!!Amazing Guitarist
Austin is amazing at the classical guitar! The ambiance he creates is perfect for weddings, or private events to create romance and class. As a guitar enthusiast I'm super impressed by how good his technique is and he can play some really difficult music, but make it sound elegant and easy. Would 100% recommend!
10/10 would recommend to a friend
Austin was hands-down the best vendor to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly professional, responsive, and organized, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout the planning process. He took the time to meet with us whenever we needed and offered thoughtful guidance and suggestions for our song selections, which made everything feel personal and would reassure any nervous wedding planning anxieties. He played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, and everything went off flawlessly. He got everything ready to go without needing or asking anything of us. We used his microphones and amplifiers, and the sound quality was outstanding. His presence and performance truly elevated the entire atmosphere. I’d hire him ten times over. He’s that special wow factor that helped make our wedding feel truly magical.
Response from vendor•May 31, 2025Devon! Thank you SO much. This review made my year :). It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Matt, and I'm thrilled that you and your guests were happy with the music and sound! Wishing you all the best in this next chapter together!!!
