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!

They're amazing.

Every transition felt seamless, and they knew exactly how to keep the party going without ever making the night feel rushed or overproduced. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. It truly made such a difference in the overall feeling of our wedding day. Brian and Mike were professional, talented, intuitive, and such a joy to work with.

Versatility and talent beyond compare…read more After reading all the glowing reviews of Michael Tiernan's musicianship my wife and I felt honored to be able to make a date with him to provide the music for a party at The Thursday Club in Point Loma. The party was partially a 50th anniversary but mostly a celebration of great friendships of many years. He did an incredible job of playing songs that were the perfect complement to the changing dynamics of the entire evening. Michael is a charming individual and when the mood was right he played songs that engaged the crowd, captured their attention and drew applause. He's a master at reading the room. Toward the end of the evening a contingent got up and started dancing between the tables. Michael was totally in his element. He can create all the high energy party vibe you could want. He has spontaneous looping techniques that make his renditions of songs as full bodied as a band. As part of the planning process we received a list of songs that are in his repertoire. You would not believe the length of the list and the variety of situations and moods he can bring to life. This next part is slightly humorous, but testifies to what a great guy Michael is. Since the majority of the crowd was going to be septuagenarians like ourselves, we were concerned that if the music was too "prominent" the guests might have difficulty hearing each other and conversing. It was with a little trepidation that we brought up this concern with Michael. You don't sign up an artist with all his gifts and then ask him to play quietly. His response was immediate and completely understanding. He totally got it. He assured us he could keep it as mellow as we wanted. And he did it perfectly with no cues from us, especially during the crucial cocktail-hour part of the event which was an important time for people to mingle and visit. He reads the room. If you are planning a special event you hope to bring all the elements together to make it a great experience for all the guests. It's like an art project. Music is an essential part of the experience. Look no further for an amazingly gifted musician who can work with you to craft the occasion to your desires to make it a meaningful and joyful celebration.

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.
