Dylan Galvin is an award-winning guitarist and wedding singer with a degree from Berklee College of Music, over 1,500 events performed, and a résumé that runs from luxury weddings through corporate functions and high-profile venues across the U.S. His mentors were legends John Mayer, Paul Simon and Livingston Taylor.
What he brings to a modern property is range. A wireless guitar means the performance can follow guests between spaces instead of restarting in each one, live looping lets a single performer fill a large bright room, and a single-tower sound system produces one focused source rather than a wash across hard surfaces.

JW Marriott Reston Station pairs contemporary architecture with genuine warmth — clean lines, generous light, and event spaces built for a seamless evening. Live acoustic music gives that modern setting its soul: warm, human, unmistakably present in a way no playlist can be.
Dylan Galvin performs at distinguished venues across the Washington metropolitan area, and he treats every JW Marriott event with the precision the brand is known for. The music moves with your event — refined instrumentals as guests arrive, an elevated cocktail hour, and an evening with genuine energy.
Reston Station's spaces are open and reflective, which is flattering to a focused sound source and unkind to a scattered one. A single-tower system keeps the music defined and speech intelligible across the room, so the sound never has to fight itself.
The setup is also fast and self-contained, which matters on a property where rooms turn over and timelines are tight. Load-in, sound check, and a clean strike afterwards are part of the service rather than an afterthought.
