April 30, 2026Hector is a very talented musician and overall great person! We had a destination wedding in San Juan and worked with him for several weeks over text and email. He was always professional and responsive. He gave us time and space to make sure we chose the right music. He was reliable and early to our event. When we had unexpected rain at our wedding, he was open to multiple options to still be able to play music and keep the celebration going! He was wonderful to work with and we recommend him for your next celebration! Thank you Hector!

January 11, 2024Hector provided the background music during my proposal to my fiancé. She was thrilled to say the least and all the musical selections Hector chose were perfect for the moment and he also flawlessly coordinated a couple songs for me to play at the moment I popped the question.
Highly recommend!

October 31, 2022We had Hector play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past weekend and I cannot say enough about how wonderful he was! We requested a few specific songs which he learned and played SO well. He was super responsive with communication. His music is absolutely beautiful and we had a number of guests comment on what a fabulous musician he is. 100% recommend! Thank you for making our wedding so special Hector!

July 8, 2022Hector was one of the most talented guitarists we have ever seen. He was very accommodating and played both traditional Spanish guitar songs as well as easily recognizable classics. He provided the most romantic ambiance to one of the most memorable and romantic knights of our lives. I would recommend his services without hesitation and hope to hear him play for us again in the the future.
