We had Steve and one of his colleagues (Flute player that played with Stevie Wonder) do a guitar and flute duo for our ceremony! It sounded amazing!! It was classy without being stuffy and old! They even learned Edelweiss for our ceremony and did more contemporary songs. Steve and Ann then moved everything from our ceremony to Tarpy's at no additional cost. How many times can you say that when you are planning at wedding? Steve then played solo guitar during cocktails and moved to DJing for the rest of the night. They definitely kept the party going all night long! In addition to all of this they also supplied all the sound systems from our ceremony to our reception. We had our wedding out doors and if we had not had mini microphones to catch our voices, no one would have heard us. No matter if you having an indoor or outdoor wedding make sure to use microphones! That was their suggestion and our experience!! We loved Steve Ezzo Entertainment and highly recommend them for any occasion!! Wonderful prices for those on a budget!!

After meeting both steve and ann at the highlands inn to meet a potential live singer for our…read morewedding, we decided to book Neil, our singer and a keyboardist for our special day at the intercontinental in monterey. Many things were promised to us and we felt accomodated before the booking but after they got out our deposit and especailly the final payment we were no longer really important. Our prerequisite of booking them was for the singer to sing "back at one" at our wedding, my husband and I's favorite song. They promised they would sing it no problem etc. About a month before the event i sent a list of songs that i got off their website to see if they could play that at my wedding. Songs I chose were many songs I heard during i saw them play live with a two piece band. Steve got on the phone and was extremeley passive aggressive and told me all the reasons why they couldnt do that and why shouldnt i just hire a dj and so on and so forth. I was like REALLY!??? so close to my wedding i just tried to minimize my problems and move on. Me being a person who is musically challeneged, was not aware that a 2 or 3 piece band wouldnt be able to produce those dance songs etc, but those same songs were played during our visit when we saw them play live so i had no clue why certain songs couldnt be played? hmm. I felt they have extremely poor client management skills and really just didnt manage my expectations nor advise me on what songs could be done with the 2 piece etc and made me feel belittled. Hello- I am the client here and the bride!! Who made you king of the jungle? My DJ- who was hired seperate of them- was treated even poorly over the phone by steve himself. I had tried to see if the two musiciaans would be able to share the same speakers during the event to avoid having to tear their stuff down during the middle of the evening when the singer was done (and the DJ began). Steve spoke to my DJ in such a unprofessional manner, i was appauled, and my DJ called me right after telling me that he made him feel like he was unimportant and that he was some ghetto dj from the bay and that he was just " in the way". COmpletely unacceptable. I had a feeling this was the case when he told me he didnt want to dj at my wedding anyore after speaking to steve as that is how i felt in speaking to him personally. Good thing i convinced the dj that was not my intention to make him feel that way and that i do not know why nor did i give steve the authority to do something like so. I didnt bring this up to steve as i was over his passive aggressivenesss and let it go. Regardless of the anguish over song choice before the event, the day of was ok. Everyone raved about the band but my big complaint the day of was that the band took a 10 minute break in the middle of dinner unannounced, leaving there to be bleak silence - only for my wedding planner to find them where?- outside, taking a smoking break and chomping down on the reminents of my seafood display from cocktail hour. as if this wasnt bad enough, our SPECIAL song that he had PROMISED to sing for us. he sang off CUE CARDS! not just cue cards, but off a 8.1/2 x 11 sheet of paper 2 inches from his face. utterly disappointing and what professional would do that, after all that they promised our song would be perfect. they also ended 10 minutes earlier than contracted time, leaving our timeline wack and our DJ having to cover for them. They sang a total of 1.5 hours at my wedding, and had to take a break after 40 in of performance? the timeline that i obviously sent to them they really didnt review with any heart nor paid any attention. there were points were they were supposed to stop and announce the DJ was taking over- they did not, they just started breaking down and up and left. The musicians also solciited my wedding planner to join them in their "after party". Completely disgusting and again not professional at all. Not sure about the other reviews on this site as they are all 5 stars, friends maybe? Between the booking managers- steve and ann and the treatment i endured from them before the event and teh day of mishaps I really wouldnt recommend them at all!!!

This is such a long overdue review for one of the highlights from our June wedding at Clos…read moreLaChance! Since we first started planning, my husband and I have always wanted to have frosé at our wedding reception. However, once we were knee deep into planning, we had to put frosé on the backburner to prioritize everything else. About half a year before our wedding, this was still something the two of us wanted so we found Monterey Margarita Company. From the initial interaction, Gary was responsive, transparent, and helpful. Within an hour of our inquiry, Gary sent back a response giving us an estimate. In order to help us stay within budget, Gary gave us ideas and was willing to waive some fees to help us out. That says a lot about the business! He was also helpful in navigating how many bottles of Rosé to buy and accommodated for our non-drinkers as well! From that point on, Gary would check in with us until the week of the wedding. Besides being responsive, Gary always expressed enthusiasm for our wedding which in return made us even more excited. On the day of the wedding, Gary and Carmen stopped by and checked in on us before leaving us with their two wonderful attendants. They made sure that my husband and I got to try the first taste of their frosé. Delicious couldn't even begin to describe how great it tasted! On one of the most chaotic days of our lives, it felt so good to be able to relax and have a sip of the frosé. It's an understatement to say that the frosé was the highlight of the reception. All our guests enjoyed the frosé so much and could not stop raving about how great it tasted. Even to this day, we still hear about it all the time and it makes us so happy to know that our wedding and the frosé that Monterey Margarita Company provided can have such a lasting impression!
