Doug Anthony

My Beautiful Best Friend & Bride and I absolutely love Doug Anthony for a variety of reasons; his music selection, his flexibility and his actual musical talents! I originally asked Doug to play at our wedding while I was working in Africa. He graciously agreed to play at our "gig," and didn't freak-out despite us not getting our list of requests to him until the last minute. He was very responsive and asked if we wanted a particular song we identified to be played twice, because it was on the list twice. That's the sort of attention to detail he brings to your special event. He is a professional, talented musician and a stand-up fella... If we could could get married every day we would ask that he play at our wedding every day.

Doug made this aspect of the wedding planning really easy! He was prompt and responsive over email and phone, really listened to what I wanted in terms of song selection, showed up early and wow'd the guests with his talent. Thanks, Doug! I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a musician in the Austin area.

We asked Doug to provide jazzy background music - something that created a mood but didn't overpower the entire event. He delivered beyond expectations. The 6pc combo played songs that made everyone hum along and guests commented all evening how great the band was even though they were not the focus of the evening. We even had quite a few people dancing even though we didn't have a dance floor! I believe that Doug and his crew are extremely talented and worth discussing your vision of party or reception.

The music that Doug Anthony provided before, during and after the wedding perfectly complemented the vibe we were shooting for. All communications were responded to promptly and professionally. I would absolutely recommend Doug Anthony for any event in need of a guitarist.

Doug's talent as a musician is truly breathtaking. I'm so glad I chose him for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He provided exactly what I wanted and more. Very easy to work with and happy to accommodate our needs. He even stayed late for us before heading to another event!! I will be highly recommending him to a my friends and using him again for events. AMAZING. If you need live music for your ceremony you will not go wrong choosing Doug. I loved it!!
- one happy bride

Doug was just what we were looking for to add an extra special touch to our wedding! He played before and during our ceremony and for our cocktail hour. Our guests enjoyed his music and the songs we picked out for the cermony were perfect for us and sounded great. As the bride, I only wish I was around before the ceremony to hear more of his music! From the very first email, Doug was quick to respond and very easy and professional to work with.

Doug was awesome! His acoustic guitar added a really nice element to our hill country wedding.

Elegant and versatile!
He played beautifully for our ceremony music. He had many choices and was so professional.
Our guests loved that personal...

Great Musician! Doug was the perfect addition to our wedding at Chapel Dulcinea.This guy knew what to play and when. Just by talking with us he knew the music selection we were looking for. Thanks Doug!

wonderful, dependable, talented

It was a genuine pleasure to work with Doug Anthony. Not only was he prompt and professional in all our dealings but his talent on the guitar is truly amazing. He provided the beautiful music for our wedding ceremony at Green Pastures which added the perfect ambiance of what we hoped to capture on our special day. He even worked with us on a special song that was not in his regular repertoire. I cannot thank Doug enough for making our day even more exceptional!

Doug was extremely nice and the music was great. Our guest loved listening to him play. Even though our wedding was late and everything was pushed back he was very fleixble. Doug was very professional from his music, disposition and attire.

Doug Anthony is an amazing musician! I would highly recommend that you consider him to play during your wedding ceremony and reception. Doug worked with us on music selection and was instrumental in making our wedding day even better than we had anticipated - and that's tough to do!

We also asked Doug to help us with someone to sing during both the ceremony and reception and he delivered an outstanding fellow artist - Andy Boutot! Andy was also very accommodating and helpful with music selection and timing.

We received numerous comments both during and after our wedding reception about what a wonderful job both Doug and Andy did. A number of our wedding attendees asked for their contact information so that they could book them for other events.

We would highly recommend you consider Doug and Andy for your wedding or other event.

Niki Duncan and Doug Anthony (contact for band)performed at my July 30, 2011 wedding and were everything I could have asked for. From the beginning Doug's responsiveness, friendliness, and professionalism put me right at ease. He was willing to listen to my thoughts and give honest feedback as well, and I never waited more than a few hours for a response to email. Niki's talent speaks for itself, but I received profuse compliments from all of my guests (including the musicians present) and Niki is now on the top of my wedding coordinator's referral list. As an avid appreciator of live music and a business professional, I could not have been more pleased.

Doug did a wonderful job of providing background music for our son's rehearsal dinner. He was accommodating with all requests. We would definitely recommend him.

Doug is amazing!!!!!!!!! He helped make a moment we will forever treasure.

I've had the good fortune of arriving early for a wedding, allowing me to enjoy not only Doug's performance for the wedding, but also his warmup and pre-processional playing. Such a wonderful guitarist and totally chill. Can't wait to hear him at more weddings.

First time I met Doug was at a wedding on 4/13/13 where I was the Officiant, and he was the musician. He is an amazing guitarist, very professional, great selection of music. He really made the ceremony! Thanks, Doug!

Love working with Doug. Always a pleasure!!! Kathie Millen at Villa Antonia
