They worked with me beforehand to keep the repast within my budget, while still making sure everything was delicious and plentiful for our guests. The three people who worked the party were beyond professional, even mopping the kitchen floor before they left for home. The bartender made a lot of margaritas with a smile on his face. All in all, a memorable evening. Thank you, Adobo!

I recently attended a special museum reception that was catered by Adobo Catering. Even though the…read moretheme was a bit unusual for a Scandinavian exhibition, Adobo really rose to the challenge serving a very delicious array of Scandinavian dishes. Exceptional smoked salmon on dark bread, savory Swedish meatballs, deliciously spiced shrimp, and lovely jam-filled cookies were just some of the delightful dishes offered. Their staff was friendly and attentive. Their bar service was also beautifully managed. I was really impressed with their quality and creativity.

Our photos are so high quality, the album turned out absolutely gorgeous, sleek and elegant. We had never had professional photos taken of us prior, but Hugo and the Belmar team worked with us to smoothly and effortlessly guide us through the poses and stances for each photo. You can tell that there is a lot of care and passion that goes into the work of this business!

Let me just start by saying that 5 stars are not nearly enough! My mom wanted to celebrate her…read morebirthday in Taos with her closest friends and my sister and I wanted to throw her a special dinner to celebrate. We came across Chef Kualani's page and I am endlessly grateful that we did because the entire process could not have been more perfect. From the very beginning, Kualani was incredibly warm, communicative, and endlessly accommodating. She was open to any requests we had but also came up with the most unbelievable seasonal menu for the dinner (because I had no idea where to start). Dealing with her was a pleasure each and every time and she helped me go through all the details so that nothing was forgotten. And the dinner.... THE DINNER. The food was absolutely incredible. I'm still thinking about her spring pea soup with truffle oil. Every course was fantastic. But Kualani is not just a chef, she is a true hostess. She and her partner Richard came into our AirBnb and handled literally EVERYTHING. She brought beautiful plates and flatware so we didn't have to rely on the AirBnb's stash. She decorated the table. She even made my niece a grilled cheese sandwich while she was prepping. And then, at the end of one of the best meals of my life, they cleaned everything up and left the kitchen better than they found it. Having worked in restaurants and catering for many years, I know first-hand that chefs are not always hospitable. It is a completely different skill set and it's the reason restaurants need a front-of-house staff. But Kualani is the rare exception that is truly capable of curating a perfect evening. She has the most amazing energy and could not have been happier with our entire experience. The dinner absolutely made my mother's birthday and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Amazed at how even the most down to earth dishes are elevated in such a tasteful (elegant AND…read moredelicious) way. Absolutely love the commitment to low waste and locally sourced ingredients. Lovely energy and collaboration from the head chef Kualani, and the staff are all very professional. Excellent experience!

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful this place is. Andy and Tori are so friendly and they make…read morethe experience very personal. They do a fantastic job and I mean outstanding. They can take a dark slide and fix it up. They will work with you on every detail. I brought them so many slides (2 boxes plus) and a bag of 8 mm tapes (a ton of reels) from the 40's up, and they turned out exceptional. They knew I was moving to another state, and they really worked hard for me on timing so I could have them before I left. Their work surpassed all of my expectations, and their price is reasonable. Being so friendly and knowing how important these items are was icing on the cake. Again, exceptional work. Don't walk to see them, run to see them!

He took it upon his own to scout both venues several days before our wedding so he would be familiar with the layout. I told him to stick mostly to our playlist but if the party died down to play his own stuff that would get everyone back on the dance floor. He did just that. His pricing was more affordable than several other quotes as well. 10/10 would recommend.

I only took lessons from David for three or four months. At that point I'd been mostly self taught…read moreand learned stuff off the internet. From David, I learned a lot about basics of forming chords and a little music theory. But the lessons didn't necessarily connect to each other: each week seemed like an introduction to new territory that would be forgotten the following session, where some new exercise was introduced. I'm sure that if I'd kept at it for years it would have come together. He did push me to learn all the notes on the fret board, which has of course been useful. In my half hour, David did spend a lot of time talking conceptually, but it was hard sometimes for me to put into practice.

I took lessons from David for 10 years and have lots to say about his teaching abilities! I think…read morehe's great! He seemed to know just the right way to push a busy adult student (job, family). He was always very understanding when other things in my life kept me from practicing and could generally be flexible with my schedule when needed, yet he always kept me interested and motivated. (I never once considered quitting my lessons, even though they required an hour's commute each way.) He had a good touch at suggesting music that would entice me and keep me going. My lessons were always fun, and we became good friends through the years, along with our spouses. I would sometime show up at my lesson wanting to talk about things going on in my life, most notably some of the challenges of living with a teenaged son. I felt that David had wise suggestions or comments, a good perspective. He would tell me about interactions with some of his challenging students, leaving me with the sense that he was probably a very positive influence on them. When we had a wedding celebration for our daughter a few years ago, David was the only live musician we considered having, and his music added a lovely touch to the atmosphere of a very fun party. It's been almost 11 years since I stopped lessons from David and moved away. I've continued playing, more than ever. I enjoy playing at coffee shops and gallery openings, where my music is well accepted. Now that I have the luxury of more time, I often play for hours a day. Something I've really noticed is how much I still sometimes hear David's voice in my head - not just instructional comments, but thoughts about playing, about one's development as a musician, ideas that continue to fall into place and make so much sense to me, especially over time. I see that continuing influence as a sign of a excellent teacher, and I am very grateful for it!
