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."

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

Nikita Nakonechnyi
"My musician Nikita was outstanding. He was punctual, well dressed, very respectful, and polite. 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!"
Vik Momjian
"We had a very pleasant experience at our family private event with the musical group that Vik Momjian put together . We already knew of his utmost professionalism and experience as a Bas’s guitar instructor, therefore entrusting him with his musical group was the natural wise decision and he and his band mates certainly satisfied our family and guests with flying colors!"
Yari More Latin band
"Arturo Trejo
We hired Yari More Latin Band for our wedding, and they absolutely made the party! Yari was incredibly professional, accommodating, and so easy to work with from start to finish. During dinner, they played a beautiful set of boleros that brought back so many memories for our families. It was the perfect nostalgic touch. Once the dancing started, the energy never let up. The band had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Our guests couldn’t stop raving! They played an amazing mix of music that kept the vibe going strong and made everything feel so lively and interactive. We’d hire them again in a heartbeat. Can’t recommend them enough!
JOHN REINOSO
Yari More and his band are truly amazing. They sing extremely well and I liked how they arrived before the time they were scheduled to sing. I hired them for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. All of our guests loved the band as much as we did. They really ignited the night with their music. I was impressed when they told me that they have over 200 songs that they sing from Cumbias, Salsa, Merengues, Boleros and more. I went with the 9 pc band package.

We had the absolute pleasure of hiring the Yari More Latin Band for our holiday party, and they were nothing short of spectacular! From the moment they started playing, they brought an infectious energy that got everyone on their feet. The music was lively, engaging, and filled with the kind of passion that only true professionals can deliver. There were folks that had never danced at our events before, wearing off the the soles on their shoes on that dance floor!
The band’s versatility and talent were evident in every song—they seamlessly transitioned through classic Latin hits and modern favorites, catering to a diverse crowd and keeping the dance floor packed all night long. The charisma and charm of the band truly elevated the entire atmosphere, creating a festive vibe that made the event unforgettable.
It’s been three weeks since our holiday party, and employees are still raving about the performance. They were the highlight of the evening and turned what was already a special occasion into a magical celebration. If you’re looking for a band that will leave a lasting impression and create unforgettable memories, look no further. Thank you, Yari More Latin Band, for making our holiday party a night to remember! You guys are nothing short of AMAZING!"
Audley Reid Saxophonist
"Audley played sax at our drinks reception and honestly, he was such a great choice. Just him and his sax, and the whole room felt warmer the second he started. Guests kept wandering over to listen, and a few came up to ask us who he was. He was super easy to work with too, showed up on time and just got on with it. We’d book him again in a heartbeat."
