Manny Cepeda Orchestra (MCO)
"Where to begin... Manny served as the musician and MC for my wedding in La Jolla. Our goal was a small and intimate wedding with excellent Latin live music and Manny absolutely delivered. From our initial
communication, he answered all my questions and helped me come up with the best fit for our wedding given the room size and party size. As communication continued, he remained flexible and adaptable as I changed a few things. He also helped me coordinate a secret seranata for my bride. Ultimately, he did everything we had hoped for and more. He is extremely talented and knowledgeable, in addition to being friendly and easy going. His unique energy/atmosphere was greatly appreciated. Our guests repeatedly told me how great his music was and a couple of them asked me where I found him. My wife and I can't recommend him enough! Thanks Manny for making our day as special as possible."

Dylan's Steel Band
"Review received on 9/3/2025
Oh What a Band!!
We hired Dylan’s Steel Band for a Jamaican themed anniversary party. Not only did they arrive early to set up, they were very professional, friendly and accommodating. Not to mention SUPER talented! We totally look forward to hiring them again in the future and recommend to all of our family and friends. Working with them was such a nice experience. Highly recommend

Petty Party (A Tribute to Tom Petty)
"“Petty Party put on a fantastic performance that our community truly enjoyed. We estimated the crowd at between 3,800–4,000 attendees—our biggest turnout of the year so far—and the energy was incredible. They delivered an engaging and high-quality show that clearly resonated with the audience. We’ll definitely be keeping them in mind for future years of our Concert Series.”
