I booked Milton Merlos for my wedding on November 2, 2024 at the Tahoe Ridge Resort. Milton was absolutely amazing. When we spoke over the phone, Milton was able to take our vision and execute on the kind of music, vibes, dancing, etc. we were hoping for. In fact, all of our wedding guests were complimenting Milton on his music choices and DJing. We literally never left the dance floor. Milton was extremely positive, upbeat, and helpful during our wedding. I would absolutely recommend him for other weddings/events. He truly made our wedding perfect. I also had other vendors complimenting his music/DJ saying, "that was the best DJ I have ever seen." I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Milton!

Wow!! To say Milton is phenomenal at what he does is such an understatement. We were blessed to have Milton be our DJ, MC, and play the Spanish guitar at my Lake Tahoe backyard wedding and it was so dreamy. He was a pleasure to work with from beginning consultation to the end of the night. He had a beautiful set up and going between two locations was seem less despite him being a one man show. Inspo from beginning to end was bridgerton but with a Mexican Latin flare and to say that was achieved would be an understatement. Milton was even kind enough to do all announcements in English and in Spanish for our bilingual wedding making it feel even more tailored to us and our guests. Highly recommend Miltons Spanish guitar package as it made the day so memorable for us and our guests. If I could relive and plan my wedding over again I would hire Milton every time.

Milton & his team were amazing all-around! I happier with my decision to trust his team with my wedding day entertainment than I could have imagined! I had a 3-piece string instrument group for the ceremony & cocktail hour, then a DJ for my reception.
From the beginning of the planning process, Milton had very clear communication and genuinely cared about my vision for our wedding entertainment. He had well-organized forms that made the process easy and stress-free. Furthermore, he went the extra-mile to have a meeting with me & my wedding planner to ensure he and his team understood everything I wanted.
3-piece strings for ceremony & cocktail hour: The team showed up on time, provided their own set up and sound system. They were well-prepared for the songs I requested for my ceremony procession and recession. It was absolutely beautiful, and the sound was stunning! During cocktail hour, they made the space felt like modern day Bridgerton! Everyone loved it.
DJ Jose for reception: DJ Jose was EXCEPTIONAL. He not only came very prepared for our reception, but kept the energy high and led party for the entire night! He was so cool and fun to be around and even let us go rogue and karaoke for a portion of the night! When it was time for him to leave, we could not believe it was so late in the night, and all our guests were requesting that he stay longer!!! He MADE our reception. 10/10 would recommend for all your party needs! Zero notes.

Milton was awesome at our barn style wedding. From pre ceremony music- cocktail hour, dancing at the end. He was flexible to our schedule running behind and all our guests complimented his music variety. When we started our wedding planning, we wanted to find someone that could play both American variety music and Hispanic variety. Milton did great with keeping our guests entertained. It was our first time meeting him but he has such a great personable personality that our guests came us to us and asked if we knew him from before. I 10/10 recommend splurging your wedding budget for him.

Our wedding was truly magical, exceeding all our expectations! Milton Merlos Productions played a huge role in making our day unforgettable. Their team is prompt and very friendly! We had some last minute changes with our wedding and they were flexible and ended playing the violin longer than originally planned. They added in songs that were perfect for our intimate wedding and fit our overall vibe.
The positive energy and creativity they brought to the table were infectious, setting the perfect tone for our special day.
We particularly appreciated their flexibility and willingness to adapt to our specific requests, ensuring that every moment felt personalized and unique.
I highly recommend considering Milton Merlos Productions for your wedding. Having live music was the perfect addition to our ceremony. My
Husband was so surprised to see the violinist, I kept it a surprise for him since he loves live music so much, his reaction was priceless as you can see 😊

Milton Brings the MAGIC!
WOW! Where do we begin with expressing how grateful we are to have had Milton play and entertain our wedding guests?
When my husband and I decided to tie the knot over the Cinco de Mayo holiday weekend, we knew we had to incorporate some Spanish flare and fiesta vibes. Enter Milton - the most incredibly talented guitar player who also knows how to read the crowd and keep the energy going throughout the night. Even with our intimate wedding of about 30 guests, the dance floor was packed the entire evening.
Milton was easy to communicate with, flexible regarding some fun new ideas about where to set up at our venue and was literally part of the party. At one point when we were taking photos post ceremony on some giant boulders, Milton approached us and began playing some folklorico/flamenco instrumentals. It made for the most incredible sequence of photos and such a fun moment I'll never forget. When the crowd was jumping, Milton was behind the booth doing the same and matching everyone's energy. The night ended with a surprise karaoke performance by my husband, which Milton seamlessly helped orchestrate.
We can't thank Milton enough and look forward to seeing him perform here in Tahoe int he future!
With love,
The Kings

Milton was all we could have asked for and more in a wedding DJ. He was supportive throughout our planning process, communicative and professional. We knew he would be great from our first sit down call, when he let us know that he would be willing to learn any song we wanted! He really cared about our event and how to make it special for us. He listened to all of our thoughts, ideas, used our playlists and still added in his own expertise which really helped the music/day go smooth.
He is amazing at the live guitar, which was such a nice touch to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. It is something we will always remember! He had strong communication skills with our planner and officiant, and would even check in with us during the wedding day to ensure everything was going well. We had some unexpected rain after the ceremony, and Milton handled it with such professionalism and made light of such a stressful situation.
He added great touches throughout the day, and we still have guests raving about the dance floor! We couldn't recommend Milton enough!

Milton was absolutely fantastic and one of our favorite vendors to work with! He is extremely positive and energetic, keeping the evening alive with everyone dancing.

Milton is absolutely incredible and we HIGHLY recommend him!! His guitar playing is the perfect addition to your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour or any event. Our wedding guests raved about him serenading all of us at our wedding. And his DJing for dancing was perfect!
He made the process really easy by sending us a packet to fill out with our preferences and schedule which helped our day run really smoothly. He even learned a song on guitar on short notice for the ceremony and it was the perfect addition.
And a story just to give you an idea of how much he values his service and his clients: A week or two before our wedding I had decided to release our dining tables for the buffet by an assigned song....but completely forgot to tell Milton (100% my fault!). I happened to mention it to him right before our grand entrance (with dinner starting right after) and we both realized I had not told him ahead of the wedding. I was willing to skip it, but he was insistent on making our wedding exactly as I had imagined. Luckily I had a list on hand, and luckily he is well-prepared! He seamlessly pulled all the songs, on the spot, and made it one of the most fun parts of our wedding. Every table afterward mentioned how fun that it was and I made sure to tell them that it only happened because of Milton!

I'm unsure how to start this review because I can't even find the words to express how amazing Milton is and how grateful I am for everything he did for our wedding. Long review below:
From our first conversation on the phone I knew we'd move forward with Milton. I could immediately tell how positive and invested he is in his work. His passion for music shined and I knew he would commit to doing an incredible job (which he did)
Milton was very communicative and patient as we took our time to detail everything we wanted. We hired him to play acoustic at our Lakeside ceremony and DJ our reception. I requested a unique song for my bridal entrance and Milton was more than willing to learn that song for me. He offered his help to ensure all the sound at the ceremony was taken care of, even for the Officiant (which heads up, not all Ceremony musicians assist with this!) He met several times with myself and the wedding planner to ensure he understood the flow of the event and our specifics wants.
The day of we were surprised with some serious snow and had to change all of our plans within the hour. Milton jumped right in to re-arrange and ensure we were covered, I'm so appreciative of his flexibility. Everyone enjoyed the live music at the ceremony; he is truly so talented, warm, welcoming - it's one thing to know how to play an instrument, it's another thing to know how to bring people together. He's truly amazing.
Now for the ceremony, I knew I wanted "live, vibrant, high energy" - I wanted someone who could get a sense of the crowd and match that in the moment (i.e if we're vibing to a high energy song, don't kill the vibe by playing a slow song immediately after) Milton EXCEEDED the bar! He listened to what I wanted to be played and mixed an incredible set! I'm still living off a high from how fun our wedding was. Guest were getting up in the middle of our meal service to dance, it was so good!
It didn't feel like Milton was a vendor at our wedding, even while DJing he had the best attitude, danced along with the guest - he was a part of our day and I won't forget it.
Finally, as Milton was packing up to leave - my lively guest moved the party to the pool area and decided to jump in (fun) - Milton came over with his guitar and played for us as other guest joined in the fun jumping in the pool fully dressed. It made for some epic videos and it was so cool of him to do that.
I can't overstate my recommendation for Miltons services and I can't thank him enough for helping to make our day as incredible as it was. He is a talented Musician, DJ but best of all just a really great person to work with.
(Attaching screenshot from our wedding video - Milton made the cut dancing behind the DJ booth, such a gem)

Miltons talent and the beautiful music he provided on our Wedding day truly made our special day even more memorable.
His ability to set the perfect ambiance during the ceremony and reception was remarkable, and we received numerous compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed his playing. The songs he selected resonated perfectly with the emotions of the day, and we couldn't have asked for a better musical backdrop for our celebration.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Milton as a part of our wedding, and we will always cherish the memories of his beautiful performance.

I am an event planner and had the opportunity to work with Milton and he truly went above and beyond. He played live guitar for the ceremony which was so beautiful and then kept the party going all night with his dj booth set up. He asked all the right questions prior to the event to know exactly what the couple and the group would want to hear and also mc'd the night perfectly. He is talented, professional and easy to work with!!!! One of my favorite vendors ever.

Choosing Milton as our DJ and live musician for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. We knew we wanted to throw a raging dance party and Milton helped make that dream come to life. Multiple people told me that our wedding was the best wedding they had been to and I believe Milton was an integral part of that equation. His live guitar playing during the ceremony and cocktail hour added such a classy touch. And his DJing skills kept the dance party going till the very end. Do yourself a favor and hire Milton Merlos!

WOW, my husband and I are blown away by how lucky we got to have Milton for our live entertainment (Spanish Guitar) and DJ wrapped in one! We were totally impressed and extremely happy to have Milton as a part of our entire wedding experience - from learning our favorite song in very little time to walk the aisle to, to continuing all your favorite hits with Spanish influence on our Yacht cruise, to mixing up awesome songs we provided him while he DJ'd it up while we took over the dance floor - he does it all with ease and versatility!!
Milton has a very friendly, personable approach/demeanor AND it was clear he was having a blast, smiling and in the moment with everyone! We all LOVED Milton and can't wait to visit again to see him play! Milton Rules.
Thanks,
The Wipps'

Milton played our wedding in Tahoe October 2022. We absolutely loved the acoustic guitar during the ceremony and the cocktail hour, and he had nicely portable setup that worked well with the beach ceremony away from power. Milton really shined as a DJ during the reception! He played a great mix of music with a lot of our favorites we requested, plenty of crowd pleasers to get the dancing going, and always seemed to have the perfect song lined up to pump things up. It felt perfectly tuned to what we wanted.

Thank you for the heartfelt feedback! It was an honor to be a part of your wedding day in ...
Tahoe. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Creating the perfect atmosphere for your beach ceremony was a joy. And seeing everyone dance and enjoy the music during the reception was incredible. Your satisfaction means everything to me.
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Milton brought a level of excitement and talent to our wedding that truly set the day apart. His performance on the instrumental guitar during our ceremony and prelude was breathtaking. He went out of his way to learn new songs we requested, personalizing our processional in the most beautiful way. As the cocktail hour began, Milton's flamenco guitar music captivated our guests, showcasing his incredible skill and adding a unique touch to our celebration.
When it was time for the reception, Milton seamlessly transitioned into DJ mode, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed. His ability to read the room and keep the events moving smoothly contributed significantly to the success of our reception. Milton's fun and vibrant energy were contagious, and he played a pivotal role in making our wedding not just a ceremony but a celebration. His dedication to providing a memorable experience was evident through every chord and song choice, making our wedding truly unforgettable.

Milton delivered such a unique experience for our wedding, we could not recommend him higher!! He played live guitar for our ceremony to all of our requested songs, and then played live guitar throughout our dinner. Then when the party started, he so effortlessly was able to mix songs, take requests and keep the vibe so so fun. He even brought his own accent lighting which was such a great touch. He was super friendly and easy to work with throughout the planning process as well. Overall amazing experience, 5/5 would recommend!

Milton is an amazing musician and DJ!! I know many float the idea about their vendor of choice making their event fantastic but with Milton we both felt that his expertise in music, guitar playing and professionalism was beyond anything we could have imagined. Milton's guitar skill set is fantastic with him being able to play songs on the fly that myself and others requested. Milton was also able to read the room and play music that fit the timing ie., dinner etc. All and all Milton Merlos Production did such a fantastic job we are in the process of looking to hire Milton again for other events. Milton Merlos Production is worth the cost and we both where left with an experience of feeling money well spent.

Milton was a pleasure to work with. He is professional and well organized. He went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was a success! Milton didn’t know how to play the song I was walking down the aisle to, so he taught himself how to play it on the guitar before our wedding and played it perfectly! Our guests loved Milton playing the guitar during cocktail hour as well. Milton had everyone on the dance floor when he was DJ-ing. We highly recommend Milton for your special event!

He was very organized and when we were stumped about what music to choose, he had really awesome ideas for us. He really seemed to get our vibe and match the tones we were looking for. Plus, a ton of our guests mentioned how much fun they had interacting with him at our wedding! He is an absolutely incredible guitarist and also a super skilled DJ. Lastly, I'm culturally Armenian and he even did a great job with playing Armenian music! I wish Yelp would let me give him 10 stars! Thanks Milton!

Just wanted to send some praises Milton's way from the wedding we worked together last night. My wife and I are a video and photography team. Milton kept us in the loop all night as far as what songs were coming up for what dance and/or wedding event that was coming up. He is a great dj, guitarist and facilitator, and very friendly and a has a great vibe on top of all that!
I would highly recommend him for any wedding whether you're the bride and groom OR wedding coordinator!!

We worked with Milton from 2020 - 2021 as we had to reschedule our original wedding date from July 2020 to July 2021. He was wonderful to work with throughout that very confusing time period for us all! He has exceptional classical guitar skills and provided the most beautiful music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He then switched to his 'DJ' hat, and his skills were no less exceptional! The music he played kept the energy levels up, and the dance floor was always full of people enjoying their time! He was wonderful to work with, and we'd highly recommend him. Very talented, kind and fun!

Our original wedding DJ was unable to perform due to medical reasons. Milton stepped in rather last minute (maybe a 1.5 months before the big day). He was an amazing DJ and he even played the Spanish guitar during our cocktail hour. We had multiple guests comment on how great the guitar complemented cocktail hour, so that was a really nice added bonus. The DJ set was great; we had a call prior and sent over a list of songs. He played everything we requested and kept the music clean for the family. He was also a great MC during dinner and rolled with the punches well as we had a few random requests/wedding games requested the night of. You can truly tell he has a passion for music and performing in front of a crowd. Would 110% recommend him to anyone looking for an even DJ!

Milton is such a peaceful, joyful spirit and was the perfect musician/DJ for our our South Lake Tahoe wedding. Being from Florida and never having visited the Tahoe area before, we felt very unsure how to pick a DJ for our event. After speaking to few folks (all of whom were lovely and talented), we just felt an instant connection with Milton. As I poorly tried explaining the vision and variety I wanted for my music, Milton was able to describe/verbalize it all for me in a way that assured me he understood our dream. Milton was quickly able to engage other live musicians to jam with him during the ceremony and reception and layered in different styles for DJ portions. Milton also played his amazing Spanish guitar for our Tah-coe Tuesday themed welcome party the night before. Everyone had a great time and danced the nights away, so much so that my feet were bleeding by the end of the wedding night! 😂💃🏻

As soon as I met him and heard his music I felt at ease the rest of the way. Beautiful music that really sets the scene to make those moments extra special. Wish we could have taken the time to just relax and listen to him more!

We had our small wedding at the Sand Harbor Beach in Lake Tahoe area. Seriously Milton is the best guitarist in town. It took us the whole 2 seconds of listening to his music to reach out to book and he didn’t disappoint. Guests were singing him and his violinist friend, Tim, a praise the whole time. He comes fully equipped with DJ gear as well. Super easy to work with. Don’t hesitate and book him!

Milton was amazing at our wedding! He learned the songs we wanted in under a week. He is an outstanding guitarist and dj. We switched some things last minute and he did his best to cater to us. He is so kind hearted and we hope to hear him play again someday. Thank you for putting up with us Milton!

Milton made our special day at the Hyatt in Incline Village even more special! Milton was professional and friendly. He listened to our wants and the flow of the ceremony and reception was perfect. He is not only a DJ and MC but a beautiful guitarist. We appreciated the mix of DJ music and Spanish acoustic guitar playing. It made the wedding feel intimate and personal. We would highly recommend Milton to our friends and family!

We were so happy to have found Milton! He was recommended by our wedding coordinator and turned out to be a perfect fit for our event. He was flexible, fun and great to work with. His live guitar was such a special treat and provided beautiful ambience for our reception!

Milton was a huge hit at our wedding! His music was beautiful and entertained our guests during the ceremony and the cocktail hour. We were a little late in giving him our ceremony music list and he learned one of the songs the morning of the wedding so we could have the perfect ceremony. He is wonderful and we definitely recommend hiring him for any event that you need live music for!

My husband and I decided to get married in the Tahoe area and were looking for a DJ. We were unfamiliar with the area and eventually came across Milton from a local recommendation. We are so glad we decided to hire Milton for our wedding. Milton worked patiently with us as we selected our songs. He also helped us create our itinerary for the day. Our wedding was seven hours long but our playlist was only three or four hours long. Milton picked up on our vibe and selected an amazing variety of music to supplement ours. He is also an amazing guitarist and filled our wedding with outstanding Spanish classical music. We recommend Milton with five stars!

At first we were just looking for a Spanish guitarist, and my dad had worked with Milton for an art showing. All I had heard was Milton’s original Spanish guitar songs which are amazing! When we found out he also offers DJ services we thought why not have one guy for all the music?! Milton is just overall musically talented. He knows how to tailor the set to be what you and your guests want to hear. My biggest concern was that people might not wanna dance at our wedding, but with Milton this was NO PROBLEM! He had EVERYONE up and dancing, people dancing with people they had never met, cousins and childhood friends from both sides of the family. It was truly magical, and Milton helped to make it all happen. I highly recommend Milton for all your wedding music needs. He will make whatever you want happen, no matter the amount of effort it takes for him. He switched back and forth from Spanish guitar to dj booth 3 times throughout the night to be able to play the right music for the right moments. AMAZING! Thank you Milton - I don’t know what our wedding would have been like without your cheerful self and the services you offer.
