Celebration•Reviewed on January 2, 2026•From Los Angeles, CA
Tavi is a master both as a musician and as a person. His playing is perfection. His music is deep. Even a minute listening takes me to new places. You will be lucky if you can have him play for you. He has headlined our New Years day party for the last six years.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 2, 2025•From Yucca Valley, CA
I hired Tavi to play at my daughter's wedding. He traveled for 3 hours to get to the venue and arrived with plenty of time left. I gave him minimal direction, and he proceeded to light up the wedding! His choice of music was superb; could not have done better if I'd given him a list. His playing was marvelous: superb and sensitive. And most impressive of all? He carefully observed the celebrant and knew when to play, when to stop, and when to fade into the background. Nobody could have done it better! He's fantastic -- worth every penny.

Robert, thank you so much for the kind words. This wedding was memorable. I especially love the fact that you picked up my guitar and started playing legit classical guitar pieces. Epic!!

Tavi was wonderful! He provided a consultation where we discussed music and he played for us. He showed up to our wedding with ample time, prepared, dressed appropriately and put on a wonderful show. We would hire again!

Tavi's playing is so moving and his selections of music were perfect for our intimate wedding at our home, yesterday. He played as guests arrived, did the processional and recessional, and then during a cocktail hour afterward. Tavi's technical ability and expressiveness are clearly beyond the other guitarists whose music I sampled before choosing him. He is very personable accommodating, and easy to work with. I would choose him again in a heartbeat!

Tavi is exceptionally talented and was amazing as the soloist for our wedding ceremony and reception dinner (we did a separate band for dancing). He worked with us over zoom to personalize the music. Both over the phone and in person Tavi was both professional and kind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a classy wedding experience with a truly talented musician.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 11, 2023•From Camarillo, CA
We were interested in Tavi based on a few instagram stories with his music. After speaking with him and hearing more of his music, we wanted him be a part of our wedding.
Tavi played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and was amazing. He worked with us to customize music and was a complete professional. We had complete confidence Tavi would knock it out of the park and he certainly did. He made great recommendations based on our thoughts and was really flexible.
We received so many compliments from our guests and having him there with his music made our day all the more special.
We hope to cross paths with him again and would recommend him 1000% for any event.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 18, 2023•From Rockville, UT
Tavi showed up very polished, professional and personable through our entire experience. Tavi was an incredible part of our wedding celebration. I can’t imagine the day without him. His technique and skill with the guitar is unmatched. His guitar work during our ceremony was utterly beautiful. He created the perfect environment for our cocktail hour and dinner without being obtrusive. He elevated the atmosphere and provided an amazing soundscape to our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on March 19, 2023•From Joshua Tree, CA
Tavi made the night! His beautiful music welcomed our guests and provided an elegant, warm and rich backdrop to for arrival and during our 115+ person cocktail event. Not only was his music wonderful, but his presence and demeanor were thoroughly professional and engaging. As if that was not enough, Tavi saved the night for us when our rented audio set up failed just as we were set to begin our remarks, and before our live auction! This miracle man had an extra microphone and speaker in his car which he swiftly set up before our guests realized something was amiss. We can't wait to recommend Tavi to others and work with him again. Thank you thank you thank you, Tavi!

Celebration•Reviewed on November 13, 2022•From Irvine, CA
We made a very good choice hiring Mr. Jinariu for our Memorial Celebration. Professionalism is very important to me and I really notice when somebody exhibits the cool, calm demeanor that goes along with knowing how to get along with customers no matter what the circumstances. In our situation there were a few complications unrelated to Mr. Jinariu but that did require for him to improvise at a moment's notice, and he had no trouble doing that. Someone with those qualities can really roll with the punches and glide through challenging predicaments without negatively impacting the performance; which was musically flawless.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 10, 2022•From Topanga, CA
Where do I even begin? I expected Tavi to be really good but he truly is ridiculously talented even more than some videos can show. He played at our wedding, arrived on time, super friendly/pleasant, even stayed an extra 1.5 hours by last minute request. On top of that, he learned a song the day of and absolutely nailed it. Unheard of! Saying our guests loved him is an understatement. Let’s just say if we are hosting an event, we won’t be booking anyone other than Tavi.
Tavi, my friend, thank you for playing for us and our guests. To you it might have been another gig, but for us it’s a day in our lives that you literally helped make unforgettable.

First of all, Tavi is a brilliant musician. Listen to any one of his many recordings on YouTube, and you will be blown away. We felt fortunate that he was available to play at our wedding. Tavi is also professional and accommodating, helping us pick music that reflected our interests and easily agreeing to adjust the scheduled start-time just days before the wedding. We can't recommend him highly enough!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 10, 2022•From Malibu, CA
Tavi is a pro. He's exceptionally professional, and extremely talented as a musician. We hired him for a small wedding in Malibu, and it was the best decision we made. Tavi's music completely transformed the venue into a special event. His arrangements and playing are beautiful. He showed up early and was a joy to work with. Multiple guests complimented the music. Honestly, as the bride, I just wanted to sit and ignore everyone and listen to him play. :-) Highly recommend Tavi without hesitation.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on July 8, 2022•From Los Angeles, CA
Tavi was elegant, professional, and exceedingly talented! His guitar playing was masterful and his overall attitude was humble and giving. I originally selected Tavi because his talent is highly displayed in his videos. I consider it to be a bonus that he was prompt, easy to work with, engaging, intelligent, and self sufficient. People who understand music will be impressed with Tavi's amazing guitar abilities and those who don't understand music will simply delight in the sound. I want Tavi to be our best kept secret... but I suppose it is better for the world in general to let it be known how good he is-so now more people can enjoy his magical gifts!
:
I loved, loved working together and playing for your wonderful audience.

Tavi was an amazing addition to my event! He really set the whole ambiance of the party. I had numerous people ask for his contact information to book him for future events. I will be utilizing Javi for many future events. Tavi reached out immediately after I requested to book him for my event. He was very communicative and made me feel very comfortable about having him at our event! Thank you Tavi!!

Wow, I truly can’t say enough good things about Tavi. Tavi played for us during our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was a huge part of what made our wedding day so special and memorable. We come from a musical family and we have never seen such a talented, incredible guitarist like Tavi! Our guests were blown away by Tavi, even saying he plays songs better than the originals! Tavi made sure we were happy with each of our song choices and music style, giving us lots of samples and live previews over zoom. Overall, 1000000/10 can’t recommend highly enough!!
