" Unique, talented, mellow DJ! Brian was approachable to talk to, esp. with it being my first time working with a DJ. He was willing to take the time to listen to songs that were important to me and other things about the wedding (actually we had a renewal of vows celebration that was like a wedding). Brian gave great suggestions based on lots of experience. His skills exceed that of others DJ's I've seen -- he's a musician himself too...a really good one! He has a ton of songs to pick from, too; he even pulled out what I'd call dinner versions of a lot of the songs on my playlist for when we were eating (our plan was to have more mellow music during that time). He was friendly and flexible, joining in with 2 other musicians I hired for square/folk dance music. If you're looking for someone who will bring a calm presence, look no further. I've been recommending Brian to several friends. Bonus: he played the music the perfect loudness (as in loud for a party) but comfortable for the ears (you could hold a conversation). I think this contributed to our guests feeling comfortable and smiling the whole time and getting to know each other. I loved that Brian brought equipment for the music to be outdoors at the end when my husband and I danced our special Last Dance on the grass surrounded by family and friends; it was so joyful and fun.

"Drew played at our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect—I highly recommend him! He set the tone beautifully, playing smooth jazz saxophone in the courtyard while our guests enjoyed reception drinks and canapés. Everyone loved it! We discussed the kind of music and atmosphere we wanted, and Drew took care of the rest, crafting the perfect set. With my husband being very musical, it meant the world to us that Drew created such an incredible ambiance. A truly outstanding performance—thank you, Drew!"

"The trio put on a lovely show, really setting the mood for the rest of the day. They were really easy to work with, set everything up and took everything down on time. No drama, no fuss, and delivered just what we wanted. They even learnt a song for my bride to walk down the Aisle and gave it an amazing Latin twist. They sent us a copy of it beforehand to make sure it was all ok and I have been listening to it over and over. "

"Exceeded all expectations! This group was fantastic at our private event. Hard hitting roots reggae with both original music and covers from the likes of toots and the maytals, peter tosh, and bob marley. Our experience w the band could not have been easier or more pleasant. Thank you Don and band. You brought something soo special right to our home"

"Chris's music His music was fantastic. I really enjoyed his playing and singing. He started ahead of the time scheduled, and played until it rained pretty hard on him outside. It started to lightning, which is why he had to quit. I would definitely have him back again. "

"This artist is pure fire! 🔥 His voice is powerful, full of emotion, and instantly transports you to the heart of Latin America. Every performance is a full experience — rhythm, passion, and energy that gets under your skin. Whether he’s singing salsa, reggaetón, bachata, or a romantic ballad, he brings authenticity and soul to every note. You don’t just hear his music — you feel it. One of the best Latin performers out there right now. Don’t sleep on this talent! 🎤🎶💃 "
