Nick DJ'd our wedding in May '26, not only was he professional, meticulous and talented, but he was…read morealso warm and inviting with our guests. He spent the time and energy to learn how to play a few select songs on the ukulele for our ceremony and it was so perfect for what we wanted. He was enthusiastic about our music selection and I was happy everytime I heard the music in the background while mingling with friends or was out on the dance floor with the love of my life. You can't go wrong with Nick, especially if you want a talented live musician who plays beautifully, but also has a great knowledge of varying music and the history. We would definitely hire Nick again in the future if we needed a DJ and you should hire him for your wedding.

Hire Nick! Just do it. And find out why everyone else here is leaving such lovely reviews. He is…read moreprofessional, talented, not to mention, just all-around cool. We had a family reunion / 85th birthday bonfire on the beach this summer and Nick more than rose to the challenge of coordinating with multiple point-people, reassuring us that he could accommodate various municipal sound regulations, and coming up with a set list for for what was supposed to be singalong for a multi-generational group. Not only did he seem unflapped by the pre-planning complications, he handled the day-of complications with incredible aplomb. As anyone who has hosted a large family event knows, little snags are bound to creep up and demand your attention, but Nick was absolutely not one of them. He showed up, set up, and rolled with the vibe, even when it wasn't exactly what we'd prepared him for. His professional self-managing was a HUGE relief, and honestly, even the party planners were all able to just sit back and enjoy. Nick set a blissful mood with his dreamy guitar playing. He really is as talented as he is gracious. It would not have been the same without him. I absolutely could not recommend Nick more highly.

Once family was grown and the house was quiet I thought why not take some time to learn to play the piano. I was so happy to find a patient and enthusiastic teacher.

She never makes you feel intimidated but totally focuses on how to make playing piano a fun adventure.

Brian played live music…read morefor our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and Mike DJ'd our reception -- together, they were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Brian's live music created such a beautiful, meaningful atmosphere for our ceremony and set the perfect relaxed, elegant tone for cocktail hour. The cadence of the music, the song order, and the timing of the MC'ing were all flawless. Every transition felt seamless, and they knew exactly how to keep the party going without ever making the night feel rushed or overproduced. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. It truly made such a difference in the overall feeling of our wedding day. Brian and Mike were professional, talented, intuitive, and such a joy to work with. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for musicians who can bring both beauty and energy to a wedding celebration!!

We hired Brian for a private party and I honestly cannot say enough good things. He played keyboard and acoustic guitar, sometimes switching between the two like it was nothing, and his voice was stunning. Like, stop-your-conversation-mid-sentence stunning. I had written him about my husband's favorite group, Dawes, and he surprised us by singing, and playing one of our absolute favorites from them. It was so incredibly special! If you're on the fence about hiring live music for your next event, this is your sign. Book him. You will not regret it. 10/10, would absolutely have him back and we will!!!

We were planning our San Diego wedding from overseas, so I suppose you could say we needed a lot of handholding and guidance. Tawnee is incredibly well-organised and communicative, and really brought her positive energy not just to the planning and coordination process, but to the wedding day itself. Every family member/member of the wedding party found her calm and reassuring. She also really took our vision and budget to heart - we really appreciated having someone who truly felt like she was on our team. Our wedding day was a complete surprise for us, and Tawnee absolutely nailed it. We loved it, out guests loved it, and my husband is still saying (six months on) it was the best day ever. Like I said, we were also lucky enough to have DJ Luis the Beast on board! He is super friendly and professional, and remarkably self aware and adept at reading the crowd and adjusting appropriately. He was open to suggestions and requests on the night, but he also completely got the mood we were going for based on the songs we had sent him. We really didn't think dancing would be a massive feature of our small wedding, but he had our dance floor buzzing! These two are amazing but professionally and personally, and I can't wait to see what they do next.
