I found his expertise immensely helpful and I am able to use the skills to play for all my friends. Not only does he have tremendous musical expertise, he also is caring and diligent as a teacher. As a physicist I truly appreciate his ability to teach the technical musical subject in an approachable way, as we strive for similar things when teaching physics.

We selected them at the recommendation of our wedding planner who had numerous positive experiences with them in the past, and right from the beginning we were grateful for our pick.

A+++++ I'm so glad I had Victoria to photograph my bridal…read moreshower. Talk about detailed shots and candids, they're my favorite and she completely succeeded that in every aspect of my event. Everyone kept telling me that I didn't need a photographer for my bridal shower and that so many people will be taking photos. Totally wrong. I can't imagine not having these beautiful photos to look back on. Every time I look back at my album I feel like I'm reliving the event and get all the feelings! Victoria is a complete professional and easy to work with. I honestly felt like she was a friend or a family member at my bridal shower- not a photographer I hired. I received my sneak peaks literally the day morning and my photos only a few days later! My family and I discussed that we will only use her for future events or upcoming photo shoots. You are in great hands with Victoria! Xo

Sean took new headshots for me this year, and I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out…read more I found Sean through LivingSocial, and I appreciate when photographers find new clients this way. He was extremely pleasant to work with, and allowed me to change clothes as many times as I needed (which was more than what the LivingSocial voucher allowed for). Sean brought out the best smile in me during our session together, and he even edited up to 20 of final shots I decided on. Most photographers won't edit this many unless you pay extra. I only gave Sean 4 stars because he was a few minutes late to our shoot and needed more time to finalize my shots. BUT....this just means that Sean is extremely busy AND in high demand, as well he should be. He was 110% communicative throughout the entire process and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any fellow performers! Keep up the great work, Sean! :)

He communicated promptly about our appointment - debating the possible rainy weather. He took beautiful photos and sent them to me in a reasonable time (like a week and a half). I highly recommend for family or kid photos. I like having access to all my photos via dropbox versus paying outrageous fee for prints. Will use again!

I appreciate how promptly they responded to all of my inquiries. It meant a lot to me that they would take the time to understand my vision for the event. I am particularly grateful to Alvaro, who was incredibly accommodating throughout the event. From the very first phone call his kindness and professionalism really stood out. As the time for the party was approaching I became anxious when most of the guest were running late due to the NYC Marathon happening the same day. I was worried that the late arrivals would throw off the vibe of the party. When I was anxious to inform the band of the tardiness they met my anxiety with gentle understanding and were so flexible, adjusting their schedule to make sure everyone had a chance to enjoy their performance. Their willingness to adapt made such a difference, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and enjoyable experience. They showed up at the most perfect time, dressed impeccably, bringing incredible energy that transformed the atmosphere. As soon as they started playing, I was genuinely moved, I felt so proud of my roots. The band consists of talented musicians who were not only skilled at their instruments but also bring an incredible stage presence. They interacted with the crowd beautifully. Taking song requests and even translated some of their lyrics into English so everyone could feel included. They were perfect. My friends are still raving about their performances, many said it was the best entertainment they'd seen at a party. A week later and I am still getting messages about how much fun everyone had and how great the band was. They made my birthday unforgettable, and I can't wait to book them for future celebrations. Thank you Mariachi NYC
