March 26, 2026Great experience
We hired Nikita for the cocktail hour of our elementary school's fundraising gala. He arrived when he said he would and with plenty of time to set up and be ready. His music was perfect for the occasion and really added to the ambiance having it in the background. I would absolutely hire Nikita again!

May 22, 2026Outstanding Musician for a Warm and Memorable Event
He did an amazing job! We hired him for our Volunteer Award Event, which was a private event, and the music was modern while still creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everything was amazing, and we would definitely work with him again.

February 28, 2026Backyard Happy Hour
We hired Nikita for our backyard happy hour and he was very responsive. He arrived on time and was professional. He brought his own amplifier and laptop to use for accompaniment. He set a great tone for the party and everyone enjoyed the vibes.

February 24, 2026Think no further…you found your guitarist!
It was our wedding and we searched for a while to find a solo guitarist for our private wedding dinner in Coronado. We went with Nikita and couldn’t have chosen a better solo guitarist for our wedding. He is incredibly talented — every song was played beautifully, with so much skill and feeling. He truly elevated the entire atmosphere of our private dinner reception.
He was also extremely flexible and so easy to work. From the beginning, he was responsive, accommodating, and happy to work with us to make sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it. The fact that he learned our special wedding dance songs meant so much to us and made those moments even more personal and unforgettable.
Our guests are still talking about how amazing he was! He made special song requests happens for our guests at a moments notice. If you’re looking for a gifted, professional musician who genuinely cares about making your event special, we highly recommend Nikita.
It was a pleasure working with Nikita and we would book him again for future events!

We recently had a guitarist play at our sunset bonfire, and he was incredible. The music was fantastic, perfectly setting the mood for the evening. He created a great vibe that was both relaxing and engaging, and his performance truly made our event special. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
