Neil Dixon Smith

I'm a classical guitarist based in Chicago, Illinois and have been part of the wedding industry since 2005. I specialize in providing both ceremony and reception music. I've performed live for concerts and events of all kinds, but there is tremendous personal meaning in playing for a wedding ceremony. I love being the live soundtrack as two people join in marriage and feel honored each time I'm able to do so.

Two things set me apart: first is my full commitment to any event, and second is the very unique repertoire that I can offer. I wholly embrace the role of the wedding musician through the entire process. I enjoy being a part of the ceremony planning and finding the perfect ceremony music - including honoring all requests of favorite songs for the ceremony. On the day, I perform music strictly from memory, fully prepared, so there are no music stands or devices cluttering the space. Beyond any requests, I offer an incredible body of guitar music from Latin America, music of Brazil, Argentina, etc, mixed with great works of Spanish guitar.
