Jose and Virginia were excellent! They played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Jose was very easy to communicate with, very professional, and very accommodating with last minute changes to our event. Their musicianship was excellent and their arrangements of our special-request songs were spot-on. Highly recommended!
