Music That Serves Every Part of Your Day
The walk down the aisle. The vows. The silence before the kiss. These are the moments people cry at — and live guitar is what gives them that weight. No speaker system replicates the warmth of a real instrument in that space. I work with you to choose the right pieces — from traditional Spanish repertoire to arrangements of songs that mean something to you. When the music starts, your guests will feel it.
The energy shifts. Guests are mingling, drinks are flowing, the celebration is beginning. Spanish and bossa nova guitar creates the perfect backdrop — lively enough to set the mood, relaxed enough to let conversations happen. This is the hour your guests remember as effortlessly elegant.
For couples who want live music through dinner, I tailor the repertoire to complement the meal — warm, unhurried, conversation-friendly. Think of it as a wine pairing, but for sound.
Everything Handled. Nothing to Coordinate.
Every booking includes professional sound equipment, all setup and breakdown, a pre-event consultation to plan your repertoire, and day-of coordination with your planner or venue contact. I arrive 45–60 minutes early and handle everything myself.
For outdoor ceremonies and cocktail hours, I bring a battery-powered setup — no extension cords, no power source needed. It's the lowest-friction live music option for any venue.
A Vendor You Can Recommend and Forget
I've worked with planners and venue teams across San Diego for three decades. They refer me because I communicate clearly, show up early, and never create friction for their operations team.
If you're a planner looking for a reliable live music option for ceremony and cocktail hour — one that complements your DJ or band partner for the reception — I'd love to be on your list.

All the time. I cover ceremony and cocktail hour, then hand off to your DJ or band for the reception. It's a clean transition that gives your guests live music for the intimate moments and energy for the dance floor.
This is one of my specialties. Solo Spanish guitar runs 65–75 dB — well below conversation level. I've performed at the most sound-sensitive venues in San Diego without any issues.
For peak wedding season (April–October), I recommend reaching out 3–6 months in advance. For holiday weekends and popular dates, earlier is better. Off-season dates are usually available on shorter notice.
