Pianist & Violinist Marini Kelley
"Marini’s talent and preparedness is truly unmatched. She was flexible and adaptive as the schedule changed, some of which occurred the day of the event. I was able to rely on her knowledge of the music to help facilitate smooth transitions between the various parts of the ceremony. She really did more than what was asked of her and made my job as a wedding coordinator so much easier. I appreciate her talent and professionalism so much and would hire her again in a heart beat. Thank you again Marini!"

Mel'S Acoustic
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended!
I just want to say a huge thank you to Mel’s Acoustic Entertainment for making my birthday celebration so memorable!
The live acoustic performance created such a warm and elegant atmosphere. Mel has an amazing voice, great song selection, and knew exactly how to keep everyone entertained throughout the night. He was also very accommodating with our song requests.
What made the event even better was the DJ karaoke alternates during Mel’s breaks. Instead of having silent pauses, our guests enjoyed singing their favorite songs, dancing, and staying entertained the whole evening. It kept the energy high from start to finish!
The sound quality was excellent, everything was professionally organized, and many of our family and friends complimented the entertainment. Everyone had a wonderful time, from the older guests to the younger ones.
If you’re looking for entertainment for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, corporate event, or any special occasion, I highly recommend Mel’s Acoustic Entertainment. The combination of live acoustic music + DJ karaoke is absolutely worth it!
Thank you again for making my birthday so special. I would definitely book you again for our next family celebration!

Wedding & Event Dj Leo
"We can recommend Leo 100%! He did an amazing job at our wedding from start to finish. Before the big day, he even created a fantastic custom medley for us, which showed how experienced and passionate he is about his work. During the reception, he perfectly set the mood with elegant background music during dinner, and afterwards he kept the dance floor packed until the very end. He listened to all of our wishes and made sure everything felt just right. I had sore muscles from dancing the next day, and all of our guests absolutely loved him too! Thank you so much, Leo!"
Vivian Perez & Luz D’ Habana
"Luz D’Habana played two stunning sets at our wedding! The first was a stripped back lounge set on the terrace post-ceremony, the second was a full band set after dinner which had all of our guests up and dancing from the first moment until the last. The quality of the musicianship was so high, it surpassed all of our expectations. The band were incredibly easy to communicate with, and everything ran very smoothly. I highly recommend booking them if you can!"
Claudia Dorado - Classic Guitar
"Claudia was amazing. She is an extraordinarily talented guitarist, playing classical guitar. She was also a pleasure to deal with, communicative, reliable, friendly and amenable. She played Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring as I walked down the aisle and it was glorious. She agreed to learn a few songs we liked to add some Spanish guitar versions of pop songs for the reception (eg Love of My Life - by Queen), and they were beautiful. We would highly recommend her."
