“Fantastic is an understatement. Booked him over a year before our wedding. He followed up with me throughout the year and even sent me videos of him playing certain songs that I wanted. He was very professional, easy going, and fun! During cocktail hour, my guests were going up to me asking who he was and where I found him. Dude literally didn’t stop even when people transitioned into the reception room. 10 out of 10, would recommend to anyone. Even the coordinator at my venue asked him for his info.”

“We were lucky enough to have Jonny play at our wedding—and wow, he absolutely delivered. With very short notice, he pulled together an incredible performance that set the tone for the entire night.

He even surprised us with a custom mashup of Pressure and Ice Ice Baby for my walk down the aisle. It was unforgettable and had everyone talking!

Beyond the music, he made sure the ceremony felt personal and special. He was extremely professional, easy to work with, and committed to perfecting the night.”

“Jonny was a true professional! Everyone had a blast! Several people asked for his number to book events. I cannot even describe his responsiveness to our plan, the flow, and he even learned our wedding song for us. I would never choose anyone else. Thank you, Jonny!”

“Jonny was absolutely fantastic at our rehearsal dinner! From the moment our guests arrived, he created the perfect atmosphere—warm, lively and celebratory. He read the room beautifully, and his is incredibly talented.

Jonny was also wonderful to work with: professional, accommodating and genuinely invested in making the night memorable. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed him. He helped set the tone for an unforgettable wedding weekend, and we could not have been happier. We would enthusiastically recommend Jonny for any special occasion!”

“Jonny was amazing! Quick responses while planning the wedding. He has a very extensive setlist. Even learned to play our wedding song for us! Thank you for making our day so special!”

“We used Johnny Edwards for our rehearsal dinner in Sanibel Island. He was very polite and personable. From the first contact until the evening and after he was always available for questions and assistance. He has a great knowledge of different music genera’s. Everyone enjoyed his music. You will not be disappointed.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Jonny!

From the very beginning, he was extremely professional and engaging. He made me feel right at home and entertained all of my questions. I instantly connected with him. He made my experience completely stress-free, which was particularly important because I had him perform a private concert on my hotel balcony as I proposed to my fiancé. Making sure something that important goes flawlessly is stressful enough as it is!

If you want your special moment to be handled with the utmost care and sensitivity, look no further. Jonny is a class act!”

“I can NOT recommend Johnny enough. He learned my now fiancés favorite song on short notice and played it beautifully. As professional as it gets people.”

Not only did he deliver a fantastic set, but he also went above and beyond by playing longer than initially planned, ensuring that everyone was thoroughly entertained throughout the evening. His ability to engage with the guests and create a vibrant atmosphere was impressive. If you’re looking for an artist who can elevate your event, I highly recommend Jonny – his professionalism and musical skill will undoubtedly enhance any occasion.”

“The party wouldn't have been the same without Jonny!
He is a wonderful singer and guitar player! Our party went long and we actually asked if he could extend and he said of course!
I'm telling you that you won't be disappointed with using Jonny at your event!


We are actually trying to book him for another event!

Highly recommend!”

“Jonny was loved by everyone at our special event at the Lauderdale Yacht Club. Love his style and professionalism. I would definitely hire him again.”

“We hired Jonny to play during a business event I held, during our cocktail reception and dinner and Jonny's music and energy made the whole event feel amazing (Note: I do not know Jonny and we got super lucky hiring him by chance). He is even better than his amazing videos we saw ahead of time. His song selection was perfect for our background music, he is SUPER talented, and my group gave him a long applause (with lots of spontaneous cheering for him) at the end of our event. Jonny is not only super talented and professional, he really had a happiness about him which made the room feel great, despite it potentially being awkward that he was on the stage by himself, and our business group of about 40 people were mingling and talking to each other. He made it all seem natural and perfect and you could tell he really enjoyed performing. I am truly overjoyed that we hired Jonny. I am giving my strongest possible recommendation. He is a total professional and will be an asset to any event. I'm delighted to talk to anyone about my experience with Jonny. I have pretty high standards and when someone exceeds them, I want to help promote them.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Jonny at several of our events including our Fall Festival and Holiday Lights Cruise. He's an incredibly talented musician who keeps the audience entertained while creating a fun, rockin' atmosphere.

You will not be disappointed if you hire Jonny!!!”

“If you’re looking for a musician who can transform any event into an unforgettable experience, Jonny Edwards is your guy. From New Zealand, he brings this amazing mix of talent, charisma, and joy that instantly lights up any room.

Jonathan has been the life of countless gatherings I’ve hosted and attended. He can elevate the mood in seconds, get everyone engaged, and even turn a shy crowd into a full-on karaoke party—just like he did at my epic New Year’s Eve/Bday Party. He can improvise songs on the spot from any topic you throw at him, in Spanish too! and his originals are genuinely fantastic (the cat song has my heart forever).

If you want someone who will not only play guitar beautifully but also bring soul, humor, and unforgettable energy to your event, I 100% recommend Jonny. You won’t regret booking him.”

“Absolutely amazed by Jonny, the guitar player we had the fortune to discover during a casual brunch at the pelican grand resort, who turned my daughter’s 4th birthday party into an unforgettable musical extravaganza! With a "4 Ever Groovy" theme in mind, Jonny went above and beyond to curate a playlist that perfectly encapsulated the vibe we were aiming for. He took the initiative to prepare the playlist well in advance, ensuring I had the chance to give it my full approval before the big day—a gesture that truly showcased his professionalism and dedication.

The day of the party, Jonny arrived and was setting up before we even got there. His presence became the heart and soul of the celebration. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a captivating experience that got everyone, both young and old, on their feet dancing. Jonny’s ability to take requests on the fly, acting as a human music encyclopedia, added a layer of excitement and surprise to the event. His talent for improvisation was so seamless that even when he encountered a song he didn’t know, he skillfully made it his own without missing a beat.

The highlight, without a doubt, was his rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung to my daughter in both English and Spanish, a touching moment that brought smiles and warmth to everyone’s hearts. He even let my father-in-law play a song on his guitar, that was truly special.

Jonny’s performance was not just music; it was an unforgettable experience that added depth and joy to my daughter’s birthday party. His versatility, professionalism, and sheer talent make him a gem in the world of live music entertainment. I cannot recommend him enough for any event where music, joy, and a touch of magic are desired.”

“We recently had the incredible pleasure of having Johnny perform at my son’s 5th birthday party, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, his performance was nothing short of magical.

For three whole hours, Johnny captivated the children and adults alike with a fantastic mix of songs that perfectly suited the festive atmosphere. His talent and versatility were evident in every note, and he effortlessly adapted to the energy of the crowd, keeping everyone engaged and entertained.

What truly set Johnny apart was his ability to connect with the kids especially my son Ryder by learning his favorite song and singing it flawlessly. My son Ryder was absolutely thrilled and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had.

The professionalism of Johnny was also commendable as we had ti deal with some very hot and wet weather. He arrived well ahead of time to set up, ensuring everything was perfect for the performance. His friendly demeanor and easygoing nature made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable for us as hosts.

Overall, Johnny made Ryder’s 5th birthday party an unforgettable celebration. His exceptional musical talent, engaging presence, and dedication to creating a joyful atmosphere are unmatched. If you’re looking for a musician who will go above and beyond to make your event special, look no further than Johnny Edwards!

Thank you, Johnny for making Ryder’s birthday so memorable!
