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!

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.

About six months ago as we were planning for our wedding, my fiance (now my wife) mentioned that…read moreshe wanted to have a guitarist play music for our ceremony. I was very open to the idea, but didn't really know where to start in terms of finding the right person who was experienced and could play the songs we wanted. Thankfully, she already had someone in mind in Xander as he was also hired to play for my wife's sister's wedding a few years before. Boy oh boy, was he the PERFECT man to hire for our special day! We liked Xander (or Alex as we called him) from the day we first met with him at his studio. His broad range of music knowledge was mind-blowing and there was literally not one song that he didn't know how to play on our list! I requested a pretty tricky Beatles song (which I eventually walked down the aisle to) and literally teared up as he was playing it for us. Interestingly enough, that was his first time EVER playing the song on guitar, which just speaks for how good this guy is! Our wedding day came and we received countless compliments from guests about Alex's playing. He showed up dressed sharp, was VERY professional, and had a smile on his face the whole time. Best part about this guy is that you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. It definitely shows in his music! We seriously could not have asked for anything more from our musician on our wedding day and we WILL be requesting Alex's services in the future!

Just a few days before our wedding on November 17,2017, I reached out to Xander with the hopes that…read morehe would be able to play at our wedding. To my surprise not only did he say "Yes", he was extremely accommodating and was able to play our selected songs. Xander is the man. The music was great. He's a true talent and made our day all the more special. He was the last minute gem added to our ceremony. Like the others have mentioned, he was very easy to work with and this was greatly appreciated as we made it a goal to plan a stress free wedding in Santa Barbara. Like I said, Xan is the Man--- A precious jewel with a musical gift to meet the needs of all. Oh I should mention he's fairly priced also. I am so grateful that we were able to have Xander bless our day with his talent and professionalism.

They kept the dance floor packed all night, brought incredible energy, and made the experience so interactive, especially when Gerry joined the dance floor with his saxophone! What truly set them apart was their willingness to learn 10 new songs specifically for our wedding to match our musical taste. Not only that but my dad wanted to sing a Beatles song for me, and the band learned the song and were his background vocals. That level of dedication and personalization is rare and meant so much to us. Our guests are still talking about the band weeks later and telling us how much fun they had. The music was phenomenal, the energy was contagious, and they helped create memories we'll cherish forever. I cannot recommend these guys enough. You will not regret booking them. They are worth their weight in gold and were one of the very best investments we made for our wedding!! Love love love them!
