He really took the time to understand the vibe we wanted and absolutely delivered. The music was perfect from start to finish, and the dance floor stayed packed all night. He did an amazing job reading the room, mixing in our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers, and keeping the energy up without missing a beat. Ryan was also a fantastic MC, keeping the evening flowing smoothly and coordinating seamlessly with our other vendors so we could relax and enjoy every moment. We're still hearing from guests about how much fun they had, and we know Ryan played a huge part in that. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

He arrived early to set up and ensured everything was ready to go on time. One of the most impressive things about Ryan was how well he worked with my (very long!) playlist.

A special highlight was when I asked him to lead the Cupid Shuffle--some of my guests weren't familiar with it, but Ryan did such a fantastic job teaching it that nearly everyone jumped in and had a blast! If you're planning a party or event and want a DJ who is talented, reliable, and fun, I can't recommend Ryan highly enough. He truly helped make my milestone birthday a night to truly remember!

Prior to the event, James spent the time to discuss details of the day with me, and helped orchestrate a lot of it - I didn't know what I was doing, but James clearly had the experience and took so much of the stress off my shoulders. He played a variety of music, catering to the age range of guests present and was extremely flexible with the timeline and any requests I made (like shortening a song so I didn't have to do an long first slow dance, or mixing together more up beat parts of a specific song to do a grand entrance to). I am so thrilled with the way the entire day turned out. Thank you James for the incredible entertainment!

He was so kind, and helped us work through the details of our ceremony, music choices, and overall vibe.

Rod's attention to detail was unmatched--he made sure every song choice, announcement, and cue was exactly right. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt at ease and that everything was perfectly timed. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day special, DJ Rod is the one to go with. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

My husband is extremely picky about music (his Do Not Play list was infamously 5 hours long...) and Rod worked really well with him to put together the best playlists. One of our guests was a wedding planner herself and commented on how impressed she was by our DJ in particular. The music was always right on queue, never too loud or quiet, well mixed, always matching the energy at the moment, etc. - all things she said she rarely sees done flawlessly throughout the day. We've had so many compliments on the music and particularly on how incredible the dance floor was! The energy he helped curate was pure magic, and we could not have been more thrilled with how it all turned out. We also chose to do a photo booth and it was such a hit with our guests. Athelie and their son did a great job and provided lots of fun prompts for everyone! Overall, we were so impressed with the Grapevine team and couldn't be happier with the decision to work with them.

I've been a fan of the guitar since a childhood so long passed I can scarcely remember it. The…read morefirst Guitar Player magazine I ever purchased read "Who is Eric Johnson and why is he on our cover?" because Ah Via Musicom had not even come out yet. Thousands of players and trillions of notes later I thought I had seen just about everything that there in this wide-necked world but I've never seen anything like Nate Lopez. We're going to have to break him down into pieces to even make sense of what's going on here: MUSICIAN You can tell that his roots are diverse and deep. The smell of smokey blues wafts from a towering house of jazz, and the backbeat of the funk can damage weak spines, but the ingredient that you can't quite identify is the time he spent studying at the Ali Akbar College of Music. Respect, dedication, knowledge, discipline. A musician's musician. I have seen him play with well-rehearsed ensembles and spur of the moment assemblages of one to eight other musicians with little more than a four count to get ready for an impromptu performance. He breathes through the instrument the way most people speak their native language. I've seen him do originals, pop tunes, classics, and covers that he has remade into something new altogether. (See "8 String Wizard" below). I've watched him get a room dancing and I've seen him melt into the background of a small event, completely out of consciousness. He has a gift for understanding the space, the role of the music, and reading the reaction of the audience. That's a special talent. 8 STRING WIZARD He has reportedly courted the drums, horns, and piano, but the stringed instruments own his heart. He loaned his upright bass to his mom, who gigs out with it often, but still plays the carbon fiber steel string he inherited from a beloved mentor with verve when he needs an instrument capable of standing up to inclement weather when he's playing an outdoor gig. He plays banjo, ukulele, banjolele, bass, guitar, an Indian slide guitar with sympathetic strings that I've never seen, and all varieties of bass and guitar, fretted and fretless. All this would be enough to merit applause but it is the 8 string guitar that sets him apart from anyone else I have ever witnessed. His earliest professional work reportedly was as a bassist. That role in the music suited him, but he found the range of the instrument limiting. His explorations on the six string opened up new vistas, but the loss of the bass clef was an acute injury. Like Jaco, Les, Eddie, and other innovators before him, he experimented with instruments that he modified himself, always tinkering, always trying, always searching. Then the hybrid guitar landed on him and everything changed. EAD bass strings over ADGBE guitar strings on the same neck give him sonic opportunities completely beyond possibility before. He virtually never plays with a pick, always finger style, so the hybrid guitar allows him to play both bass and guitar on one neck. The casual observer may or may not notice that there's just more music coming from the guitar player and drummer than can be explaned, but the musicians stop everything to stare in disbelief. TEACHER It can be very intimidating to approach someone so advanced. No one is born expert. Some are more talented than others, but everyone that's any good has years of dedicated study and practice behind them. I have seen, and have been, one of many who have come to Nate for guidance or lessons, in addition to all the pros who come to play with him as a peer, and I have never caught a whisper of the attitude that typically comes with this level of expertise. He delights in the achievement of everyone he plays with, on guitar, on other instruments, the most serious professional, and the kid who doesn't even know which way the neck goes yet. He just gets a quick read on where you are and what you want to achieve and he illuminates the path. That's something I've never heard of in any of the other greats before. Who am I? His most jealous fan. Thanks for the music and the lessons and the kindness, Nate. You make us all better players.
