VeeRonna is not your average performer; she is not even your average harpist. VeeRonna embodies…read morethat rare commodity, a supremely talented musician who considers it her duty to please her audience. How do I know that Ms. VeeRonna is skilled? Well, I wanted a harpist at my event as a surprise for my mother, who is also a harpist, and after the performance Mom waxed eloquent on VeeRonna's technique. I hired  VeeRonna to perform for the cocktail hour of my little girl's Bat Mitzvah. Given that harpists are generally hired for weddings, the guest list for my event probably didn't constitute her standard audience. VeeRonna spent hours planning the playlist and corresponding with me and spent further hours learning the theme songs from video games to please the kids, and boy did she ever make the kids happy! For several songs folks young and old stood around the harp singing along! I have to say that as far as composing a playlist for the adults was concerned, I certainly didn't have to worry about VeeRonna needing to master Jewish-themed music. She already had such a fine repertoire of Jewish music that she didn't have to learn a thing! She even played "Simon Tov" as my daughter made her grand entrance to the cocktail hour, and of course, VeeRonna had a huge range of classical music at her literal fingertips (such as Debussy's Premiere Arabesque, which she played as a tribute to my daughter--who had learned the Premiere Arabesque on the piano) and VeeRonna artfully interwove classical selections between pop and Jewish ones. To summarize, in VeeRonna, you have a technically brilliant musician who is fun, easy going, and accommodating. If you are on the fence, do hire VeeRonna; she is great musician and a mensch!

They played at our wedding ceremony and their music created the perfect atmosphere to make our ceremony a beautiful experience. Lydia, who was our primary contact, was incredibly pleasant, helpful and communicative throughout, both when we were first initially inquiring about their services, as well as when we were coordinating everything the last couple of weeks leading up to the big day. Additionally, she also helped put us in contact with a vocalist and pianist, whom also performed with them. They performed a beautiful mix of classic wedding and church songs, which is a testament to their versatile skill with both popular and religious music. There are not enough superlatives to describe Cattus and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. Their beautiful music creates an unforgettable experience.

She was instrumental (pun intended?) in helping us select the perfect music choices for every element of the wedding day. Their music selection is incredibly diverse and versatile; from classical staples to contemporary covers, Cattus beautifully performed music that appealed to our guests of all ages and musical tastes. Cattus Quartet provided the ceremony music and also performed during our cocktail hour. The ceremony music was angelic, having strings accompany my bride's walk down the aisle created a perfect soundtrack to a memory I will never forget. Their performance during cocktail hour was fun, energetic, and unique; weeks after the wedding, I am still receiving so many compliments on their music. Music is such an integral element in creating the perfect atmosphere and tone for your wedding. Having a string quartet was such a fun and intimate detail. Cattus is an absolute dream to work with. Their professionalism and experience distinguish them in an industry that has many quality options; their beautiful music creates memories that you will cherish forever.

He was also an absolutely brilliant MC and added lots of fun and personal touches to the reception. We also got a Photo Booth through him (run by Vivek) and uplighting which really elevated the ambience. Even before the wedding, Billy was awesome to work with. We had a lot of questions and requests and wanted to weave more cultural music in with popular music, and he was able to help us do that seamlessly and was so patient with all our requests. He is clearly an expert at what he does, and we couldn't recommend him more!!

Best instructor ever!…read more Larry is a gifted teacher and coach, my all-time favorite drum instructor, and I've had several going back to my professional career in the 70's. I've been working with Larry since April 2015 and am now without question playing better than ever in my life. Of course it takes practice, but Larry's direction and constructive criticism make all the difference. A natural teacher, his enthusiasm, professional experience and technical knowledge allow him to get the best from his students. I've watched him motivate and instill confidence in elementary school students, showing the same commitment and passion that I've experienced. Larry plays professionally in all genres, is respected and recommended by the top professionals in Southern California, who also happen to be the top drummers on the planet. It is rare to find a great professional player who is also a great teacher. Larry is both, an accomplished player and teacher in multiple genres, Latin, Rock, R&B, Blues, Big Band, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Drum Corp.
