About Austin Charnis Guitar
Austin Charnis Guitar
I’m Austin Charnis, a classical, Spanish, and contemporary guitarist specializing in refined live music for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours. I perform in a wide range of settings — from intimate ceremonies and vineyards to grand ballrooms and luxury estates — always tailoring the music to the tone and flow of the day. With over 15 years of experience, I handle details before they become stressors, from acoustics and sound setup to timing cues and transitions, ensuring a seamless, polished musical experience.
Every wedding soundtrack I create is custom. From timeless classical music to romantic Spanish guitar and elegant instrumental arrangements of pop, classic rock, or Disney favorites, each piece is arranged with intention and care. My specialty lies in creating music that feels personal, elevated, and effortless — enhancing each moment without ever feeling intrusive.

The Acoustic Touch we Needed
Austin was so personable and easy to meet with to craft our ideal playlist during the planning process. His talent is unmatched and the acoustic guitar set the exact tone we were looking for; warm, inviting and romantic. He’s a professional and didn’t need any handholding for set up or timing during our wedding. Our guests commented how nice the live music was. His flexibility and accommodating ways made it a pleasure to work with him. I’m so glad we chose Austin and would recommend to any engaged couple.
Response from vendor•Dec 20, 2025Thank you so much, Courtney. It was such a pleasure working with you both and I'm so glad you were satisfied with everything. It was a truly special day and I'm honored to have been a part of it. Wish you all the very best!“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!
