Choosing your wedding ceremony songs is one of the most personal decisions in the whole planning process, and one of the hardest. There are thousands of possibilities, and every list online seems to recommend the same ten. As a solo guitarist who has been performing since 1977 and plays ceremonies across Southern California, I have […]
Great cocktail hour music is the part of an event that guests feel more than they notice. It fills the gap between the ceremony and dinner, or between arrivals and the main programme, and it decides whether that hour feels relaxed and elegant or awkward and quiet. I have played hundreds of cocktail hours as […]
If you are looking for a Latin guitarist in Los Angeles or Orange County, you probably want more than background music. You want warmth, rhythm and songs that make grandparents smile and get younger guests swaying.

Get those three right and classical guitar becomes the most elegant money you’ll spend on an event — warm, sophisticated, and never in […]
Hiring a flamenco acoustic guitarist is the fastest way to give an event a pulse — that percussive, fiery Spanish sound that makes guests put their phones down mid-sentence.
