Stop looking for a DJ for your wedding or party and just hire this guy. Absolutely Electric DJ that kept the party going all night. After running into some scares with noise ordinances prior to our wedding, Milton calmed us down and said he will handle it. HE SURE DID! I cant recommend him enough, I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Milton played his beautiful acoustic guitar and DJ'ed at our Wedding - It was absolutely beautiful and we couldn't be happier with live music! Milton did an amazing job helping with transitions, keeping the guests entertained, and his communication leading up to our special day was great! Highly recommend Milton Merlos Music for any event - he plays beautifully and is worth every penny! read more

Still the most dreamy flamenco guitarist. Yes, after several years I still stalk Milton. After years of only getting to hear him play in the summer, 2019 began his full time residency in Reno and Lake Tahoe. He's wonderful background music at Wild River Grille, a great show with a cocktail at The Terrace inside the Peppermill, and easy listening before dinner at The Shore Room. A few of my favorite spots to listen. Strictly guitar, no vocals. His unique flamenco style music will mesmerize you. Some cover music, some original works. No matter what he is playing you see and hear the passion he has for music. Watching Milton play is amazing. He also does private events. I was lucky enough to have him playing at a dinner event this summer I attended for my birthday. He even sang my happy birthday !! read more

Milton was an absolutely perfect choice for my husband and I on our wedding day! He was so, so fun to work with throughout the process. He brings so much enthusiasm and joy to his work. He was very organized and when we were stumped about what music to choose, he had really awesome ideas for us. He really seemed to get our vibe and match the tones we were looking for. Plus, a ton of our guests mentioned how much fun they had interacting with him at our wedding! He is an absolutely incredible guitarist and also a super skilled DJ. Lastly, I'm culturally Armenian and he even did a great job with playing Armenian music! I wish Yelp would let me give him 10 stars! Thanks Milton! read more

We hired Milton for our wedding and he was one of our favorite vendors! He was SO fun to work with and made the day go by without a hitch. His guitar skills are amazing and everyone thought the live music touch was so nice during our cocktail hour. It really elevated the feel. We collaborated with him on our favorite music choices and what songs we thought would really help our friends and family get on the dance floor. He nailed it! If you are lucky enough to hire Milton for your wedding, you will not be disappointed! read more

We in Palm Springs share Milton with Lake Tahoe .... and we do so somewhat begrudgingly. BECAUSE We LOVE Milton! With my wedding and event planning business he has performed at a lot of our events and always a crowd favorite. He can execute the roles of both performing guitarist and a DJ, and sometimes does both in the same night. His craft and professionalism is unparalleled. Couples love him, guests love him and everyone swoons over his guitar performing and then later dances, dances, dances at his mastering of music. He rolls with extra lighting to party up the space and always goes above and beyond one expectations. Enjoy Milton while when he's in N. Cal because we're rallying to keep him here year round! read more

Milton made our wedding day completed! There's something so special and unique about his music style. He is so talented and knew just the perfect songs to play at our wedding. Our guests keep talking about how great it was to have him there, and some even plan to hire him for their parties.

We recently hired Milton for the cocktail hour for our employee event. Milton absolutely exceeded our expectations! Not only was he professional in communication, arrival, etc, he was so friendly and interacted with our employees. It was great to have his acoustic versions of different songs to keep the crowd entertained. We would recommend Milton for any event! read more

I wish I could give Milton more stars, he was absolutely phenomenal! We were so impressed, as were many of our guests, with his live guitar accompaniment during the prelude and cocktail hour of our wedding. This was not shocking as we had heard him play at a party before. What I was surprised with was how prepared Milton was for any circumstance. He was able to mic our pastor as well as our live performances by family which were not close to the main PA system. He was able to redirect any schedule changes or music changes without a glitch. And most of all he paid close attention to our DO and DONT play music requests. I was so beyond impressed with his DJ performance. He started the party and got everyone dancing and never missed a beat. His sound system and lighting were on point and his preparation gave us peace of mind leading up to the ceremony. We had the best time at our wedding, listening and dancing to our favorite songs. Thank you Milton for such a great party! It would not have been the same without you. We would definitely recommend Milton for a wedding or any event. -CorKels read more

Incredible! It was SO FUN having Milton as part of our wedding! He came recommended by our friends who also used him for their wedding. Absolutely exquisite music, and our guests can't stop raving about how talented and great our guitarist was. Everything was seamless - from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the DJ / dancing. Highly recommend. Much love. :) read more

Milton is an excellent professional musician with a Latin touch. I have hired him several times to play events for me and he always comes through with flying colors. I highly recommend him. read more

Can you do 10 stars out of 5? 5 isn't enough. Milton is FANTASTIC and was so easy to work with for our event. We did a charity fundraiser at the Nugget. He played the entire evening and MC'd the event as well. We had to tell him to take a break as he kept going. It was our first time doing such an event and he was so helpful with suggestions and advise. The Nugget management highly recommended him and we were so lucky he was available for our event. Milton is so talented and has such a variety that leaves you awestruck. He is such a professional but seems like your best friend and family right away. So glad he has moved back to Reno so we can hire him again. And....what he can do with a guitar is beyond anything you will see anywhere else. Thank you Milton for making our event such a success. read more

Milton is the man! He is professional, as friendly as can be, very easy to work with and most importantly he can seriously rip on the guitar. It's impossible not to be impressed with what he brings to his performances. He is great at reading the crowd and accommodating exactly what each event or occasion needs. Can't recommend him highly enough. Looking forward to seeing him at Squaw Valley for Art, Wine and Music this summer! read more

Thank you Milton for your exquisite talent and professionalism! I've had the pleasure of working with Milton through special events on several occasions, and most recently for my own wedding - his talent is incredible. He makes the process so incredibly easy and is so very flexible. Wishing you the most of your career and best success. Besos! read more

This guy is fantastic! I heard him play today at the Hard Rock hotel and Casino in Tahoe and was in absolute heaven. I loved his flamenco tinged and jazzy arrangements of popular and Latin music. His originality just shines through and he plays with a genuine passion for his music. His interpretations and arrangements are very unique and a true joy to listen to. He stage presence is friendly and light hearted, very entertaining. I was lucky enough to win a free CD in a "name that song " contest and I listened to it twice on my drive home. If you appreciate the rhythmic intensity of flamenco guitar and beautiful melodues creatively played on nylon strings you have to hear this guy! read more

What a pleasure it was to work with this talented musician! Milton recently played at our country club in La Quinta. It was a couples golf event with a Spanish themed cocktail hour and dinner. Milton played his beautiful music through both and just blew everyone away. From my very first contact with him, he was very professional and went out of his way to be accommodating! I look forward to hearing more of his music and wish him all the best in his musical career. read more
