Justin Duhaime Guitar Music

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Justin Duhaime is an Ottawa guitarist, composer and teacher whose official website includes a dedicated enquiry route for live music at special events, explicitly including weddings. The website also presents solo performance, the Justin Duhaime Organ Trio and Gypsy Muse, his jazz manouche project. This creates a sound basis for an Ottawa wedding guitarist profile, though couples should treat the final music plan as an enquiry-led discussion rather than an off-the-shelf wedding package.

For couples considering live guitar music, the useful distinction is between the artist’s documented music projects and the details that have not been published for weddings. The official site confirms that Justin performs solo and leads Gypsy Muse, while the event enquiry form is intended to gather the information needed to serve a wedding or other special event. It does not publish set lengths, a wedding repertoire, travel terms, technical requirements or current rates, so those items need confirmation before booking.

Verified identity and review scope

The previous website attached to this listing now leads to Ottawa Chamberfest, a separate arts organization, and is not used as evidence for this profile. Current first-party evidence instead identifies the official website as justinduhaime.com. The site names Justin Duhaime directly, describes his music work and provides a special-event contact route that specifically names weddings.

The official website describes Duhaime as a guitarist, composer and teacher, and says he has performed concerts and festivals throughout Ottawa. Its music page identifies three distinct presentation options: solo performance, the Justin Duhaime Organ Trio and Gypsy Muse. These are documented artistic projects, not a promise that every configuration is available for every wedding date.

Services and specialization

The clearest wedding-related service evidence is the official special-event enquiry page. It invites people seeking live music for a “special event,” with weddings, corporate events and restaurants given as examples. This supports describing the business as a live-music option for weddings; it does not confirm ceremony, cocktail-hour, reception or rehearsal-dinner coverage individually.

Musically, the site says Duhaime performs solo and leads Gypsy Muse, a jazz manouche project inspired by Django Reinhardt. The Gypsy Muse page describes a repertoire direction built around swing, Latin grooves, fast-tempo tunes and ballads. It also says the group works in duo, trio and quartet combinations, with guitar and possible violin, clarinet, second guitar, voice or bass. Couples interested in an ensemble should ask which lineup is appropriate and available for their event.

Service area and who it may suit

Ottawa is the documented geographic reference: the official biography says Duhaime has performed at venues and festivals throughout Ottawa, and identifies Gypsy Muse with Ottawa’s jazz manouche scene. This profile therefore uses Ottawa as its local-search focus. The official site does not state a defined wedding travel radius, other Ontario service areas or cross-provincial availability.

This may suit couples who want a guitarist-led live-music enquiry and are open to discussing either a solo format or a small group. Couples with a clearly defined jazz manouche, swing, Latin-groove or ballad-oriented brief may wish to ask whether that direction fits the wedding moment they are planning. A different style, song list or formal ceremony arrangement should be raised before any commitment, because the official wedding information does not define those details.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed strength is the breadth of documented musical formats. The official music page presents solo work, an organ trio and Gypsy Muse, while the Gypsy Muse page describes several ensemble sizes and instrumentation possibilities. The official biography also documents jazz manouche as a defined specialization and says Duhaime works as a freelance guitarist in a wide array of musical styles.

The practical limitation is specificity, not quality: the official site does not publish a wedding set list, sample ceremony selections, a standard ensemble roster for weddings, audio equipment details, song-request policy or date availability. Its event form is designed to collect the information needed to respond, so an enquiry is the appropriate next step rather than assuming any particular format is included.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The confirmed official pages do not list wedding packages, starting rates, deposits, overtime charges, travel fees, taxes or minimum booking lengths.

Ask for a written quote that identifies the selected format, performance windows and any breaks. It is also sensible to ask what is included in the quoted price, such as travel, sound reinforcement, setup time, additional musicians and any requested music preparation. These are questions to clarify, not terms published by the business.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

For a wedding or other special event, the official contact page directs prospective clients to a dedicated live-music form. It states that the form asks the questions needed to best serve the event. The same page gives JustinADuhaime@gmail.com for other enquiries.

No current official postal address or telephone number is published on the reviewed official pages, so neither is reproduced here. Using the event form gives the business the information it says it needs, while email is the documented alternative for questions outside those form categories.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm whether the preferred option is solo guitar, Gypsy Muse or another configuration; the exact musicians; the music style and desired atmosphere; and which wedding moments the performance will cover. Ask for the planned timing, set lengths, breaks and whether the artist can accommodate specific songs or a ceremony processional.

Also confirm travel to the venue, access and load-in arrangements, sound-system responsibilities, indoor or outdoor contingency plans, power needs, volume expectations and the written agreement’s payment, cancellation and rescheduling terms. These details are not published on the official site and can materially affect both the fit and the final quote.
