We hired Chris to play solo at our welcome reception at Largo Resort in Key Largo and couldn’t have been happier! His music set the vibe for our whole wedding weekend and our guests loved him. He was very professional to work with and is a phenomenal performer. Thank you Chris! More...

Chris Thomas did a fantastic job playing guitar at my wedding which was in April at Old Town Manor. He had great communication leading up to the event and played songs we loved the most. I got many compliments throughout the night about his performance and how it added to my wedding and reception. I would recommend him for your event. More...

Me and my wife recently hired Chris and his steel drum player for our wedding in Key West. From the start, Chris was on top of logistics and planning and displayed the utmost professionalism for the job we hired him to do. Me and my wife decided to do the guitar and steel drum duo for the cocktail sail out of Sunset Key. This cruise was on the Fury Catamaran and added to the beauty of the night. In addition to this, you can rest at ease with Chris when planning your next event. He comes with a wide array of song choices and will work with you to make sure your special event goes off without a hitch. Highly recommended!!! More...

Best Live Musician and DJ ever!!
Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t have asked for better live music and DJ for my wedding at Margaritaville Beach House Key West.
I chose the Live Musician DJ combo package and I am so glad I did. Chris Thomas sang, and played the guitar at my beach ceremony, and at the cocktail hour. He is extremely talented and had a lot of songs I was able to choose from. He also offered to play whatever song I wanted from the speaker in case he doesn’t know it, which is amazing. Everyone loved him and he truly made my day special. The DJ, Chris Price, did such a great job at keeping everyone entertained at the reception, played music everyone loved (and that was a hard task since we had a very mixed crowd). He followed the timeline I discussed with him prior perfectly and made sure everything runs smoothly.
You can tell they have tons of experience, were perfectly on time, easy to communicate with and very reliable. I would hire them anytime again. Highly recommend!!!

We hired Chris Thomas to play solo with his guitar for our wedding at Amara Cay Resort in Islamorada, Florida. He exceeded our expectations & we could not have been happier with his talent!
He was the perfect addition to the laid back Keys style wedding that we were going for. We would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thank you Chris! :)

My fiancé and I are both musicians so the music for our reception was especially important to us.We hired Chris to play a solo acoustic set during cocktail hour at our wedding at Key West Garden Club in April. I also provided a playlist we had curated to be played but was so impressed with his performance that we asked if he would continue to play through the rest of the party!He was happy to accommodate our requests and I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for live music for their private event.

Chris was incredible at our welcome party! Our wedding was at Playa Largo in Key Largo and Chris was the perfect choice. He arrived early, played great music, and was extremely flexible when we asked him to play for 30min longer than we originally discussed. We would definitely recommend him to a friend and would also have him at any future events we do. More...

We hired Chris Thomas to create a cool, tropical "Keys" vibe for our daughter's rehearsal dinner at Baker's Cay Resort in October 2022 and he did NOT disappoint!
My husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying his music while visiting Key West a few years back and we knew he would be a perfect fit for our daughter's wedding.
Chris was so easy to work with. He supplied a (very long and varied) song list and asked us to submit some of our favorites...and some we actually didn't want played.
Chris is very familiar with many of the popular wedding venues in the Florida Keys, which is very helpful the day of. He knew exactly where to go, how to set everything up and was such an absolute pleasure to be around. Our guests absolutely loved him. You and your guests will too!

I would highly recommend Chris Thomas Music to any couple planning their wedding. We originally chose Chris based off his reviews and they were very accurate! Communication throughout the planning phase was excellent and day of execution was flawless. Our wedding was held at Isla Bella Beach Resort in Marathon, FL. Chris did an amazing job performing solo during our ceremony and cocktail hour. The Trio played during our reception and had everyone on the dance floor. Chris has a great playlist to choose from and had guests of all ages raving about the band to us. More...

Chris Thomas was more than we could have ever asked for! We had him and two additional band members that made our night even more perfect! Everyone was up dancing all night long, no one wanted the night to end! I wish we could do it all again just to have them play again! More...

I hired the 5 piece band for my wedding at the Truman Little White house and they were AMAZING! 6 months later and my guests are still talking about the band and how great they were. They sang every single song that my guests requested. I could not recommend the Chris Thomas Band enough! More...

My husband and I had our wedding in February 2022 at First Flight Restaurant & Brewery in Key West, FL. I was recommended by the venue to reach out to Chris, he is one of the best on the island! Chris made the introduction and down payment a breeze, we connected via phone for the whole process. We hired Chris to be the solo musician for our wedding. On the wedding day, Chris was on time, sang/played all the songs we planned on, & was accommodating to requests. It was a beautiful evening, we appreciated Chris being there with us! Cheers! More...

Chris played at our destination wedding in Key West. He was fantastic! He has a large variety of music to pick from and played everything on my list. Very professional and easy to work with. He is an excellent musician. If I lived closer I would definitely hire him again for another event! More...

Thank you Chris for making our day so special! Have seen Chris perform many times, he is always a crowd favorite with a great repertoire of songs sung and played with perfection!

We hired Chris Thomas to play guitar and ukulele for our intimate family wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at Playa Largo Resort in Key Largo. Chris always responded to me immediately and made the planning process easy (which I didn't think would be possible since we had our wedding in the middle of a global pandemic)! He is very talented and was happy to play anything we asked for off of his song list, which included such a big selection of songs that we had a hard time narrowing it down. He was so kind, easy to work with, and flexible with last minute changes (i.e., our reception had to be moved due to high winds on the beach). Looking back on our wedding video now brings me to tears hearing Chris play our favorite song (Somewhere Over the Rainbow) as we walked down the aisle together on the happiest day of our lives. If you're looking for a sign to pick a musician, this is it! You won't regret choosing Chris Thomas for your wedding day. More...

Chris Thomas is professional in every way. He played at my daughter's wedding at Faro Blanco in Marathon, and everyone loved him. He has a large catalog of songs for his clients, but can perform just the right ones to fit the mood of the venue. Always available to speak with, and accommodated us all through the virus, making sure he played on our new date after the first wedding date was cancelled. Great voice and musician. First class.

Wanted to give A shout out and a HUGE recommendation to an amazing musician, singer and person. Chris Thomas Guastelle played acoustically for our party last night. Chris is well known on the LBI scene playing at the Engleside Sandbar and poolside at the Shell to name a few, but also rocks it in Key West all winter. Chris is a class act, polite, and reliable, but what is truly his best quality is his amazing guitar skills and voice, he can play any tune you want, and it’s always stellar. If you are having a party/wedding/reception you should consider him More...

The music was great. Our families complimented the music, specifically. Chris was also willing to learn and play our favorite song which wasn’t on his playlist. This proves he helps make your day just as special and unique as your relationship! More...
Linda Bergen
Aside from the fact that Chris is an incredibly
talented musician, he is also a pleasure to deal with. He was so responsive, professional and kept in touch through out the process.
We hired Chris as a duo with a percussionist. The room was filled with music. Chris played acoustic guitar at our ceremony and was joined later by another talented musician. We interviewed a few musicians for our wedding at the Casa Marina, but none compared to Chris. We could not be happier with our choice. We are still hearing about how awesome the music was at our wedding.
Go for it!
