He played the guitar at my wedding and brought such a beautiful sense of magic and serenity to the moment. It truly made the ceremony feel special. From the very beginning, he felt like someone we had known before -almost like part of our family. His demeanor is fresh, friendly, and very warm. We are so happy we found him. Having him play at our wedding was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Nikita!" Based in San Diego, California 6th March 2026 Vanessa - Private wedding Photo of Desmond Ivey Desmond Ivey "Richard C. November 14, 2021 Verified review Beautiful Music Provided By An Authentic Gentleman Desmond performed for me and my loved ones last night while we gathered to celebrate my close friend's 50th Birthday. He arrived on time and spent the first few minutes setting up his equipment. I was expecting only a guitarist. I had no idea I had hired a singer too! Desmond performed many classic pop tunes by artists such as Neil Diamond, John Denver, Abba and Frank Sinatra. He is a passionate singer and player and I was captivated the entire time. He is also a very nice man and I'm glad to have met him. I encourage anyone who is looking for a singer/guitarist to enjoy the talents of this unique man."
