Jake Dudas – Acoustic guitarist
Craftsmanship, diversity and authenticity—completely customized for your event.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of couples and event planners at some of the most stunning venues in Canada. By far what I enjoy most, is working closely with people to deliver an exceptional experience.
Musically, it’s about bringing passion, craftsmanship, authenticity and great sound to a live environment. With each couple or event, it’s about taking the time to get to know people. We work to find the right custom songs… the right blend of modern and traditional material that delivers something compelling, creative, unexpected, and truly reflective of your individual style.
Nothing can achieve this the way an acoustic guitar can. You can go from Neil Young to Justin Bieber; Frank Sinatra to Ed Sheeran; the Beatles to Paramore… and it’s absolutely seamless.

Thank you so much for helping to make our Wedding Day extremely memorable and absolutely perfect! We really appreciate all of the hard work you put in before and during our wedding to help make our day unforgettable. Thank you for learning to play a song just for us. It was absolutely amazing! The music was beautiful and really helped set the mood for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Many of our guests said that the sound of the acoustic guitar added an elegant final touch to our wedding!
We had Jake perform during our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. Our guests confirmed that Jake’s involvement our wedding helped convey the style and atmosphere we were going for. We knew Jake would be a hit because we had the pleasure to hear him play in our own living room months earlier. We reflect back on that evening, in the midst of our hectic wedding planning, as such a great way to take a break from our chaos, and look forward to the joy ahead. Jake’s performance of Crash by Dave Matthews Band was so good that it made us change our mind on our most important cue – the Bride’s walk down the aisle. Such a song, and the way it was played so wonderfully, was exactly the kind of unique and love-inspiring feature that we wanted our wedding to be all about, which Jake helped us deliver on.
Thanks so much for making our wedding day extra special. As both Anthony and I play guitar, we thought that having a guitarist play for our ceremony and cocktail hour would be very fitting and you certainly did not disappoint. We loved how you spun more contemporary music into wedding-appropriate renditions. Special thanks for working so hard on Muse’s “Starlight”, and taking the time to record your work in progress so that we could be a part of the process. We appreciated your genuine interest in making our day turn out how we had in mind, not to mention your professionalism throughout the entire planning process. Thanks again.

Live March 10th, 13th, 15th and 22nd. This was a fun out-take photo from a portrait shoot last weekend. It can be a little tricky for some... being all posed etc., so my little shih-poo and I took a short break. Looking forward to a great week to start off March...
Live March 1st @ the Burleigh Falls Inn.
Friday, March 1st @ 5:00 p.m. I always enjoy this time of year. Things are busy, but not too busy. Shows are on the radar, but there's a little more space to work on some new material... push some recordings forward... have some leisurely dog walks. There's an...
