About Didier Bouvet, Special Events Guitarist
With over 30 years of experience as a performing solo guitarist, Didier Bouvet creates beautiful music for every occasion. His refined and captivating classical and Latin jazz/Spanish guitar style can be tailored to any event. His performances are always accompanied with a warm professional demeanor that is always service oriented. His styles include Latin jazz, classical, nouveau flamenco, and Latin rock (i.e. Santana, when appropriate). He has played for clients, such as Chevron Texaco, Wells Fargo, Hitachi Technologies, Hornblower Yachts, and Excite. A partial list of clients, venues and testimonials are available upon request. Didier's repertoire for wedding ceremonies includes traditional works by Bach, Beethoven, Pachelbel, Mendelssohn, and Handel, as well as classically arranged works of contemporary songs by Enya, the Buena Vista Social Club, Peter White, Santana, Stanley Myers (Cavatina), and others. Given enough advanced notice, Didier offers the added service of learning and performing your favorite song to customize your wedding ceremony. You also have the option of extending his services for your cocktail hour and/or dinner reception, where he will play his one-man-band Latin Jazz and nouveau flamenco repertoire (see special events). Whether it's a sophisticated formal dinner/cocktail affair for 10 or a rollicking outdoor BBQ for 200, Didier tailors the intensity, energy and overall mood of his performances to appropriately fit any festive situation. His portable and battery-charged P.A. system allows him to be set up at any location regardless of whether or not electricity is available. This system is a very smart, all-in-one, high-quality mixer/speaker system that can be charged for up to 5 hours. It can also be used to hook up a microphone for client announcements and speeches.
Reviews
Didier was kind enough to come play an assortment of latin type rock and classic rock for my wife's birthday party during Covid-19 Shelter In Place. He was respectful of social distancing requirements and wore a mask upon arrival. We were really impressed by both his musical ability and personality. For us it was a small crowd of just our immediate family but Didier was pure entertainment and very engaging. We would certainly recommend him for private events.
It was a pleasure to have Didier play at my mother-in-law’s 50th birthday. His live music brought life to the party and really tied into our Havana Nights theme! He is equipped to sound like a live band which we loved. I highly recommend him. We will definitely keep him in mind for our next event! Thank you again Didier.
Didier is an excellent musician! He went above and beyond my expectations. He provided a special experience for my 120 dinner guests. I highly recommend Didier. Many of my guests commented on him and asked for his contact information.
Didier was terrific. Great music! Friendly, courteous, professional. We hired him for my wife’s 35 bday party (and my daughters 2nd bday - same day). It was a big party with ~50 guests. He played for 3 hours and was perfect! Would definitely hire again and recommend to others. Thank you!
Everyone at our backyard party wants to hire Didier! He was so very talented and played an incredible variety of music that kept the party going without being overwhelming or too loud. He was perfection and you would do very well hiring this man!!
Friendly and high quality entertainer
Didier's excellent performance last night at our private party will be the talk of the town this holiday season. Our guests loved every minute of his guitar playing and he quickly became the center of attention. He blended in so nicely with our group. By the end of the evening, he was part of the 'family'. I can't wait to plan our next party so I can ask Didier to play for us again.
Didier was one of my favorite vendors during my wedding. He came very early, dressed appropriately, and of course, gave the best performance I've ever heard. I initially thought I was hearing a recording, but when I went in the room, I realized it was Didier playing! I'm very happy I went with him. He streamlined the planning process just made the whole thing stress-free. I wish I could have another major event so I can book Didier again!
Didier came in extra early to set up which showed his dedication to his work ! He was VERY alert to the party happenings and activities, so that his music complemented the event exceptionally well. Big thanks to his professionalism !
