Enrique Thank you !…read more We had the pleasure of hiring Mariachi Real de Oxnard for our wedding on December 7, 2024, and it was one of the highlights of our special day! From the very beginning, Enrique was prompt in responding to all of our inquiries and was incredibly helpful in planning the musical details for our event. On the day of the wedding, the mariachi arrived on time and was ready to perform, adding a beautiful and lively atmosphere to our celebration. The musicians were talented and engaged with our guests, making everyone feel included and bringing smiles to their faces. The mariachi music created such a memorable experience, and it was truly one of our favorite aspects of the wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful the performance was. Thank you, Mariachi Real de Oxnard, for making our wedding day unforgettable! We highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a special touch to their event. You truly made our celebration extraordinary!

Edit: wow, despite five photos showing her at my party DJing, my review was labeled by Yelp as a…read morefake, oh well, if you are seeing this, you went to the hidden reviews. I did hire Natalie. 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.

Catalina is absolutely amazing! She played acoustic guitar at our small courthouse wedding (about…read more14 people total), and her music made the whole day feel so much more intimate and warm. She arrived early and played a beautiful medley before the ceremony, performed our aisle song perfectly, and then continued playing through photos in front of the meadow. Her voice is gorgeous, her guitar playing is flawless, and she tied the entire experience together in the most special way. The music created such a welcoming, heartfelt atmosphere, and it truly ended up being one of my favorite parts of the day. If you're looking for someone incredibly talented who can bring beauty and warmth to your event, I can't recommend Catalina enough!

I started playing Ukulele last year, and purchased several from different shops.

Friendliest service ever. Highly recommend. Highly. Highly. Did I say "HIGHLY" recommend? Because genuinely I do. This is the place, if you want to learn about Ukuleles. This is their life. They're also part of the Ventura Ukesters, a group of people who love to play Ukulele in Ventura County and do performances around the county. I just love that.

I don't even have words to say how happy I was with his performance at our wedding. All I can say is thank you, and thank you again; and my goodness bro, thank you! We wanted a Spanish guitarist for our wedding, but we also wanted someone who can play traditional guitar as well. Like I said before, I don't even know what to say. Everything he played was perfection. I'm definitely a perfectionist (as he probably could tell when we met) which by the way, he had no problem doing. He responded to my emails, met up with my wife and I, and although he's a professional; he was humble enough to listen to everything we wanted to say, which is extremely important in a vendor. Not only did Rico meet my expectations, he surpassed them. Completely. Here were some of my initial concerns. I knew he could play the Spanish guitar (because I heard him in his videos) but I had no idea if he could play traditional guitar, because I hadn't heard him do so. He assured me that he could, so I really had to trust him. Not only could he play the traditional guitar, he could play it so amazingly beautiful. I would now trust this dude to do anything. I wouldn't even have to meet up with him. I'd just say, Rico, play this, and I promise you, he can.
