January 13, 2026Fantastic. Would hire Miguel again any time.
Everything was great, from communication before the even, to arriving early to set up, etc etc logistically. Miguel is a sweet man, an absolute pleasure to work and speak with. His playing was flawless and perfect for the setting; a 90th birthday party around the pool with 60 guests ranging from mid 30's to 90 years old. I am happy to give Miguel the highest recommendation and would hire him again absolutely any time. Thank you, Miguel!

October 2, 2024Amazing talent!!
Miguel was absolutely incredible! His guitar playing was so beautiful and added such a lovely and magical atmosphere to my friend's baby shower. Everyone LOVED his music, and his personality was just as charming as his talent. He even asked if there was a dress attire so that he could match! Overall so thoughtful and professional. Hiring him was one of the best decisions I made, and I can't recommend him enough!
