Classical Guitarist
Classical Guitarist in NJ for Weddings, Ceremonies & Private Events
Live classical guitar for wedding ceremonies, processionals, and private events across New Jersey — solo, duo, trio, or full string quartet.
Anthony Fuscaldo is a professional classical guitarist based in New Jersey, specializing in wedding ceremonies, processionals, and cocktail hours throughout the state. Available for corporate events and private parties as well, Anthony tailors the repertoire and ensemble to the tone of each occasion.
A versatile musician equally at home in the concert hall and at private events, Anthony draws from a deep classical repertoire spanning Bach, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Isaac Albéniz, Leo Brouwer, Andrew York, and Antonio Jobim — bringing the same level of artistry to intimate ceremonies as to grand receptions. He performs regularly at distinguished venues including Liberty House and Batello in Jersey City, the Asbury Hotel in Asbury Park, Ninety Acres at Natirar in Peapack, River Pointe Inn in Rumson, and Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury — as well as the Waldorf Astoria and Tavern on the Green in New York City.
Repertoire spans the classical guitar tradition as well as Spanish flamenco guitar, bossa nova, and Italian folk music for cocktail hours and receptions.
Available solo or with violin, viola, cello, harp, and upright bass — from intimate duos to full string quartets. For couples inspired by the refined, cinematic elegance of Regency-era string arrangements — as heard in Bridgerton — Anthony and his ensemble bring that same atmospheric quality to wedding ceremonies and private events across New Jersey.
Trusted for high-profile events. Anthony and his music groups have performed for Ferrari, Major League Baseball, Meta, American Express, Morgan Stanley, Citi, MetLife, the World Trade Center, Hilton, Marriott, the W Hotels group, Jose Cuervo, Yelp, Palantir, Convene, The Museum of New York, The Liberty Science Center, and Silverstein Properties. Past audiences have included Paris Hilton, Aaron Paul, Katie Couric, Chef Daniel Boulud, Ron Carter, Chuck Lorre, Judd Hirsch, and the New York Yankees.
A genuine recording and performing artist. Anthony has performed at events with Grammy-winning mandolinist Chris Thile and appeared as a performer in Amazon's Modern Love alongside Anne Hathaway. His albums have earned airplay on WKCR 89.9 FM (Columbia University) and WUIS 91.9 FM (NPR Illinois), with coverage in Jersey Jazz Magazine, Jazz Guitar Today, and The Syncopated Times.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Anthony added such a beautiful element to my wedding. I requested two songs that he learned and played flawlessly — Sailing by Christopher Cross and Fragile by Sting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Processional and recessional repertoire commonly includes Bach's Air on a G String, Pachelbel's Canon in D, and Wagner's Bridal Chorus — as well as beloved songs like The Beatles' Here Comes the Sun and Neil Young's Harvest Moon. Anthony tailors the ceremony music entirely to your vision and preferences.
Can you perform during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception? Yes — Anthony and his ensemble can provide music throughout your entire event, from the processional through the cocktail hour and beyond.
