Hans professional violinist
"Hans is not only an amazing Violinist, he is an amazing person and made every step of booking a Violinist in a different country for our wedding as easy as possible.
From the first video call well before our wedding, to constantly making sure we were creating the perfect ceremony/cocktail/dinner playing experience I can not stress enough how quick his responses were and how much he actually cared about our special day.
Hans quickly put together a professional contract for us so all the details were set in stone almost half a year before the wedding date!
Hans was able to play ANY song that we requested as well as to play a very specific piece during my wife’s walk down the aisle - timing it perfect and effortlessly all by himself.
Furthermore Hans actually also helped us out with other caterers and arranged his own transport to a very remote location.
10/10 experience working with Hans through the entire process"

He did an amazing job: Attentive, professional, and genuinely committed to making the event special, while took us on a beautiful journey through different rhythms and emotions.
His passion, professionalism, and sensitivity to the atmosphere really made a difference and helped make our event truly unforgettable.
I highly recommend Juanito to anyone looking for a DJ who does more than just play music — he creates an experience!"
