Scheduling was super easy and the band arrived ready to celebrate. The sound was absolutely incredible and the band was amazing! Eddie on the horn led and his father brought decades of experience on the guitar. The violin and bass rounded out the sound. Their presence made the party extraordinary and so much fun. They were so personal and interacted with all the guests. I was honored they accepted our offer to eat, which to me was a massive compliment. They have a huge repertoire of songs and nailed every request. I'm a committed fan and will always look for a way to add the music of Mariachi Herencia Cardenas to our next celebration. Thanks again guys!

I had been a student with the Mel Booker establishment for over a year and a half and was taught by…read moreJeff, who is absolutely amazing and this review does not reflect the wonderful lessons by Jeff. My issue with Mel Booker Music is the lack of customer service. Ever since the front staff had changed from Megan and Debbie, to the new staff today, my experiences with the front desk went downhill. I am a school teacher and my schedule can change frequently due to impromptu/emergency meetings which can interfere with my lessons scheduled. My lesson was on a Monday and they're closed Sunday which kept me from being able to notify 24 hours before. I would call days before at times and be told by the new front staff that I would be called back, but never would receive anything even if I wanted to reschedule a week in advance. I would be told that an opening would open that same week, but again, I would not receive a call back. Megan and Debbie who used to work at the front desk were AMAZING and always willing to work with me on a reschedule and would always surely call me back if they said they would. My final straw here was a reschedule I had requested 3 hours before my lesson began due to an emergency meeting and the new front desk staff said they would not reschedule and my lesson would be wasted and that same day cancellations will not be rescheduled. This was new to me and when this would occur, Megan or Debbie would always find a way to make it work on a later date. With these occurrence, I since have requested to resign from Mel Booker and never received a call back or anything to see how this could be rectified which shows lack of appreciation to loyalty by patrons. The instructors here are excellent, but again my qualms are with the handling of scheduling and services by the front desk staff.

Read on. I used Natalie on June 22nd 2013 for my wedding. Natalie met with my (to-be) wife and I and she had helpful checklists that rapidly took us through every aspect of the day. She was very interested in our suggestions and asked a lot of questions to hone in on exactly what mood, tone and atmosphere we wanted created at every point. She was able to come up with music for the entire day and evening that can only be described as "the perfect everything for Mike and Holly's wedding". Natalie never said "no" or "we can't really do that" or "I don't have that music". That was reassuring to us! When you are trying to put together a wedding on a tight budget and tight time line, having someone like Natalie on our team really made what could have been a fricking nightmare a lot calmer. She used the phrase "no worries" a lot, meant it, and ultimately she backed that shit up. She also played a live song with me (at my request) and this was very moving to everyone there, to say the least. She sounds like a cross between Cher, Janice Joplin, Linda Perry, Robert Plant and Annie Lennox. She fricking rocks! Part of the whole thing, I wanted a violinist to play for guests arriving and to play with me during the live song. Natalie found a violinist who was not only amazing (someone who played violin live with the biggest names in music), but at a very reasonable price. She even dressed like a pirate, as it was a pirate themed wedding. Playing live with her was a real treat. The last thing I remember that night was my wife and I dancing the night away to block rockin' beats and every corny disco and funk song we ever loved growing up, and lots of other music picked to entertain our extremely diverse party of guests. "A good time was had by all" and this pirate themed wedding literally went down in history and became the discussion de rigueur on Facebook for the next fricking month lol.
