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.

We hired Nick for our wedding at Bali Hai in October 2023. We found out he was a family friend and…read morewhen we looked at his portfolio, instantly could tell from his videos that he was a fun, friendly person with a great sense of humor and a talented, versatile musician. He provided a google doc questionnaire where we filled out all our playlist planning. He played ukele for our tropical romantic ceremony and DJ'd our reception with classic favorites. There wasn't a dry eye during the ceremony and the dance floor was packed all night. He did a great job taking requests from guests. He even did some extras, like announcing tables for the buffet and helped MC speeches and stay on time throughout the evening, when we didn't have a coordinator running the timeline. He was 'instrumental' in an amazing wedding experience! Thank you Nick!

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. I leave every lesson more inspired to continue this venture. Shannon has a way to break it down into small pieces that I can absorb and perform. She never makes you feel intimidated but totally focuses on how to make playing piano a fun adventure. I can say I look forward to my lessons with enthusiasm and can't wait to master the next phase of learning.

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.
