We recently held a lovely outdoor celebration of life for our daughter at El Camino Memorial Park…read morein Sorrento Valley. Celeste was exceptional as celebrant, serving as both officiant and soloist for the event. She guided us through the planning process with compassion and took great care to understand who our daughter was through conversations with and written comments of family members. Together we chose several songs for Celeste to sing as guests arrived and others she would sing during the celebration of life. An ordained minister, she facilitated the service with thoughtful and consoling words and spiritual reflections appropriate to our situation. Our choice was to have several family members speak, with three songs interspersed through the program. Celeste eased these transitions seamlessly and her singing is simply luminous. My husband and I are grateful for the extraordinary care, sympathy, and peace that Celese provided to honor our daughter's life in such a beautiful way.

We hired Brian for a private party and I honestly cannot say enough good things.

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!!!

But most importantly he, and his band are absolutely incredible musicians. They were able to feel the crowd, adjust their performance accordingly to keep everyone on the dancefloor, as well as offer to play any requests we had as the bride + groom. Three of the bandmembers are brothers and the chemistry really shows through in their performance. Their pricing was what i believed was a bargin, and you could tell they enjoyed playing as much as we enjoyed dancing. Bottom line, very easy decision to hire these guys for any event. 5 stars, thanks fellas!

Troy was very patient and understanding while we searched for another venue. We secured another venue within a few hours and Troy was still able to accommodate our new venue location and time for the event. This photobooth was a hit!
