Their online videos truly don't do them justice. The group of seven musicians was absolutely phenomenal--punctual, professional, and incredibly talented. The music was vibrant, the energy unmatched, and the singers were outstanding. They created such a joyful and unforgettable atmosphere that had everyone engaged and entertained. If our schedule had allowed, we would have happily enjoyed another hour of their music. We highly recommend Mariachi Relámpago to anyone looking to make their celebration extraordinary.

I found Ryan via Yelp when searching for musicians to play during an annual fundraiser gala. I wanted something new for this year's event and immediately messaged Ryan after reading all of his reviews. It was the first time using a flamenco guitarist for an event and we received compliments all night on his music. His music set a very cool and unique vibe throughout the whole event! Ryan provides beautiful and dramatic music through his guitar. You can really tell he is passionate about his craft, he studied with the best in Spain and it shows! Also a plus, Ryan is extremely easy to work with - very responsive, considerate and he brings all his equipment. I wished I had booked him for my wedding 3 years ago!

I wish I caught the name of the young man with the black hair and nose ring that helped my wife and me. He approached us (never happens at the other locations) and asked if we needed anything. I rattled off 8 different random items from cables and adapters to drums kits and guitar amps. The guy had a wonderful attitude, scooped everything up for me without forgetting a thing, and even offered me a discount on an unboxed item. This guitar center is 10 miles further away than the closest one to me, and I will still be coming back here in the future.

He has taught my daughter for about two years now. She started from scratch, using a 3/4 sized guitar and has now graduated to a full-sized one. She plays so well that she can probably busk for pocket money. Chris is now also teaching my son, who while still a beginner, is making very good progress. We rented a guitar when my daughter first started. Rental of a 3/4-sized guitar (from Rock 'n Roll Rentals) was very affordable at only $6/month. We ended up purchasing it as it was more cost effective in the end, with two children using it one year after another. A nice bonus at Childbloom is that siblings are only charged half the price for lessons.

He knows how to have a good time and how to make other people have a good time. I really think (and I may be bias) our wedding was one of the most fun I've been to. I feel like I was running around so much near the end of the planning stage I was being very vague with details but Mark nailed everything so perfectly. His prices are so affordable, and he brings all kinds of fun equipment! I feel like you can literally request any song in the world and he will find it and play it, and he even mashed up a song for me. I strongly recommend Mark for any DJing needs. He seems to really know his stuff and can read the crowd. Thanks, Mark! Glad you got your jacket back ;)

I wasn't sure at first if I needed a DJ for my wedding on 2/22/14, but after several conversations…read morewith friends and family I decided to look for one who might fit our needs. When I went shopping for information I found Mark Miller. I felt an immediate connection to him because during our first conversation he asked all the right questions. He really wanted to know about my husband and me, our musical tastes, and how we wanted our ceremony and reception to feel. I was quick to hire him before someone else could! Mark was immeasurably kind and patient with my frequent emails and bridal panic moments. To calm my worries, he met with me at the venue and took a walk around and discussed with me exactly what he was planning for each phase of the evening. It was easy at that point to surrender control of the music to him. In addition, we completed an online DJ portal questionnaire with our specific requests (along with anything we didn't want--which we didn't have) and a general information page, which made me feel like he knew exactly what we wanted. I may be biased, but I truly feel like my wedding was a perfect day. My day-of coordinator took control of all the vendors a week before the wedding to make sure they all understood our timeline, and Mark worked seamlessly with her. He arrived early and set up each area where he would be working. The ceremony music was beautiful and worked exactly with our processional and recessionals with his editing. Once the cocktail hour started, he played a variety of music from all different genres that nonetheless fit in with our tastes. The reception was unbelievable--I really didn't have any intention of dancing beyond the first dances with my husband and father, but Mark kept the room so energized I couldn't help myself. He did a wonderful job helping our guests know exactly where they were supposed to be and what was going to happen next. In addition to his truly EXCELLENT performance on my wedding day, I have to add that Mark edited the songs we were using for our first dances, and he did a wonderful job. I also didn't have specific picks for some of the things we were doing (the bouquet and garter toss, the exit, the last dance) and I told Mark to use his discretion, and his picks were absolutely spot on. Mark was an incredible professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an experienced DJ and MC. Mark has my contact information and I am happy to provide a personal reference to anyone who may want to ask additional questions.
