"Sean is an amazing artist. He was willing to learn some new songs for my wedding and was easy to work with. Sean is very reliable and a hard worker. Having Sean do the music and my wedding really made the day memorable. I would definitely recommend Sean as a performer."
-Rachel and Sarah Thagard 2020
“Sean is a crowd favorite! His positive energy and fantastic musical skills turn our space in to a memorable experience every time. Sean's vast music portfolio means there is something for everyone and the audiences enjoy the multiple styles Sean can perform. Great energy, great musician, and most importantly a great person."

"Sean is a very gifted artist, easy to work with, great communication and is very reliable. We asked Sean to sing and play guitar during my wife and I's wedding and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We asked Sean to learn a few new songs to play for our dances and as our wedding parties walked down the aisle. He worked very hard to prepare and the quality of his music helped to make the day a really memorable one. Sean really went above and beyond to make us feel certain about the big day, even sending us videos of him singing our songs weeks before the wedding to get feedback from us. I would definitely recommend Sean as a wedding (or any event) performer as you will get a high caliber artist but also a reliable communicator and planner as well. "
-Emma and Logan Smith 2019
"Sean is an outstanding musician. Sean was so willing to perform at our wedding ceremony, and it was an honor to have him. We had about 300 guests at our wedding and guests still rave about Sean’s performance. He played “Somewhere over the rainbow” by Izzy and it moved everyone. He displays confidence, modesty and a creative vocalist who has such peaceful and wonderful voice. Sean was also very easy and amazing to work with when it came to the sound equipment needed, it was a breeze to work with him on the technical side of things, he made it so easy for me to understand what he needed in order to preform and our DJ team was so great at making that happen. Sean comes with years of experience, a wealth of knowledge, plays a great variety of songs and the most amazing personality and voice!"
-Kelsie and Siaosi Pele 2019
“Sean is an amazing musician who is very good at reading the crowd and interacting with them. He has a long cover-song list that he takes request from, but he also plays really good originals. Sean is always punctual and if he ever needs to reschedule he is very communicative. He’s a talented, fun loving musician who is also responsible, which is hard to come by.”

"Sean Kavanaugh is an excellent musician and a great performer. He would always merge himself with the environment in the taproom, making the experience for the customers very pleasant. Sean is very easy to work with, self sufficient and would be available for last minute opportunities to play at our establishment."

'My partner and I had the pleasure of having Sean Kavanaugh perform at our wedding in 2018. He was phenomenal and completely surpassed our expectations! Sean was patient and accommodating to all of our requests. He played our chosen song as we walked down the aisle and it couldn't have been more perfect.
I have also had the pleasure of watching Sean perform in many different venues in the (Missoula) community. His ability to perform so many genres is a testament to what an amazing performer he is. I highly recommend Sean for any event."
-Sarah and Sam Gittins, 2018
“Sean’s voice is silky smooth, could listen to him all day. He’s a great performer, he knows how to work the crowd! He’s easy to work with, professional, efficient, and knows his craft

"Sean Kavanaugh is an outstanding musician who inspires people with his original music, and brings new life to songs we have all enjoyed. Sean interacts with people in a way that brings energy to the venue and the individuals present. Sean is professional, adaptable and reliable."

"Sean is a very talented and professional performer. He played “I Will Follow You into the Dark” by Death Cab for Cutie as we lit a unity lantern in front of 150+ guests during our wedding ceremony at the Coeur d Alene Resort Hagadone Event Center. Sean’s professionalism and musical talent was not only extremely appreciated, but also put to the test, when we accidentally set our unity lantern on fire as he was performing. Sean didn’t miss a beat, and he continued to sing as if nothing was wrong. Some guests even mentioned they didn’t notice the lantern was on fire, and I credit that 100% to Sean’s performance. I would recommend Sean to anyone! He takes true pride in what he does, and he is dedicated to deliver exactly what is expected by the bride and groom, no matter the size, formality, and religious/cultural traditions of the event."

For venue performances, I am willing to negotiate rates. For
private events, I charge a base rate of $225 an hour and additional charges for gas miles if I need to travel more than 50 miles.
As for weddings, I am currently just doing cocktail hours. I charge $350 an hour for play time. I do not charge for driving or set up, or breakdown time. This includes me brining two Evolve 30M 1,000 watt column PA speakers. This PA system will also work well for MP3 music if you are wanting songs to be played during a 10 minute break (for playing 2 hours or longer). I also have song lists/books for your guests to request songs directly to my phone from a QR code (see my song in video page for my song list) if this is desired. Song list can be modified to only include the music that is desired by you and your guests. Lastly, I charge 60 cents a mile for driving any amount of miles over 50 miles from my home in Spokane and a 10% retainer fee of the total negotiated fee
