Carlos made our wedding absolutely magical! I hired him to play at my wedding ceremony and reception. Months prior to the wedding date, he personally worked with us on song selecti...
on, timing and every other detail you can imagine. He gave my husband and I ideas and recommendations on the types of music to pick, but never pushed us in any particular direction. He told us what would work and what wouldn't work, and would explain why. Since he has years of experience, he also gave us advice on the ceremony details that we hand not thought of. He was extremely thorough and organized during the process.
On the day of the wedding, he was professional and gracious. We had a move scheduled between the ceremony and reception and they pulled it off seamlessly. Just about every guest at our wedding complimented the duo guitarists on their song selection and talent. They created an elegant, yet lively, vibe to both the ceremony and reception.
Carlos is honest and fair and we came to have a lot of trust in him very early on. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Carlos. If I had another event to plan, he will definitely be the first person I would call.
