I do not recommend the musicians hired for my friend's private event this past Saturday…read more Prior to booking, I reviewed feedback from others and noticed a recurring concern regarding poor communication. Unfortunately, that was exactly the experience we encountered. After receiving payment, the musicians left the venue without any communication or explanation. The venue has a strict noise ordinance, which required additional coordination, setup adjustments, and effort in order to proceed with the performance. Despite being aware of these circumstances and after having already been paid, they chose to leave rather than communicate or work through the situation. Their lack of professionalism and communication created unnecessary stress and disappointment for my friend on what was supposed to be a special and memorable day. Clear communication, especially when unexpected challenges arise, is essential when providing services for important events. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend their services. I truly hope they listen to everyone's feedback and do better, no one deserves to be ghosted during any special event, and we do not wish to hinder people who love to work and love what they do. Please do better !! My friends and I support local businesses.

My friend got married on June 6, 2026, and unfortunately this mariachi completely let her down on…read moreone of the most important days of her life. They were hired to provide live music and arrived at the venue, but couldn't use their speakers because the venue wouldn't allow them and instead offered alternative equipment. Everyone agreed to the change, and they were paid in cash at the moment. Shortly afterward, they left without performing and stopped responding to calls and messages. Although my friend eventually received a refund, the stress, confusion, and last-minute disappointment they caused on her wedding day were completely unacceptable and completely ruined what should have been one of the happiest days of her life. No bride should have to deal with this kind of experience, especially on such a special occasion. We are extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and communication and would not recommend this vendor to anyone.

Rigo was my main contact, and he was so friendly, caring, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Our venue had very poor cell service, which made coordinating a surprise performance a bit tricky--but Rigo went above and beyond. He even called ahead of time to make sure he had the exact location and understood where he needed to be so everything would go smoothly. Despite the challenges, they showed up right on time, patiently waited for the perfect moment, and completely made the bride's day. It was such a special surprise, and they executed it flawlessly. On top of that, they played an extra song so the couple could have a first dance moment--which wasn't even planned--and it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the night. We will absolutely be hiring Rigo and the group again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!

So many guests at our wedding commented how amazing Rose is and the music she played was spot on! Luckily I got to hear her playing during yoga because the only songs I heard was the processional and recessional! Hahaha last one in, first one out. Music really sets the vibe for the whole wedding and Rose nailed it! I saw pictures and videos of people dancing during cocktail hour to her music. Warms my heart so much to see people just enjoying their time. Rose is super easy to contact and she responds quickly to emails. I love that she doesn't only play songs on her song list but is willing to learn any song- that really ensured the songs we really wanted was played! Like I really wanted an EDM song for my processional and Rose was able to play it beautifully!! You won't regret hiring Rose for any of your events, and especially for weddings!

Her team showed up early to the wedding to ensure they had plenty of time to setup, and started right on time. They played so beautifully that I'd would've thought it was a recording had my fiance (now wife!) not mentioned that it was the quartet playing. We performed all our dances with the quartet's music, and they played flawlessly. Jen also rearranged one of the songs to fit our choreography. I would recommend Bay Area Strings to anyone looking for a quartet for any events. Jen is an exceptional Cellist, and her team members are top talent as well.

He was so kind, and helped us work through the details of our ceremony, music choices, and overall vibe. His consultative approach ensured that every part of the day felt personalized, from the seamless transitions during the ceremony to the perfect playlist for the reception. 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.
