Milton Merlos Productions

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

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)

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 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 so amazing and flexible with our last minute changes due to the weather at our wedding! He’s so talented from his live guitar, live mixing, and emceeing! My husband DJ’s for fun and was also so impressed by his passion for DJ’ing. Highly recommend him for your future events :) Thank you Milton for making our big day so special and hyped!

Milton was so enthusiastic about our wedding from the very first meeting. We could tell he really cared about playing us the music that we envisioned for the reception and he did exactly that and more! We didn’t want the traditional wedding music and he curated the perfect set based on our conversations and song recommendations. He played the songs we wanted and mixed/remixed everything together in such a fun awesome way! Everyone was gushing about how amazing our DJ was!
