Extraordinary music and a wonderful human being to go with it. He is playing at the highest possible level. You will stop what you're doing in order to listen to him.

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.

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.

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!!

Tavi is incredibly talented and professional, and we loved having him play guitar during our wedding ceremony. He learned and arranged a custom song for us which made it really special. Highly recommend!

Wedding•Reviewed on April 17, 2022•From Pacific Palisades, CA
Tavi is an incredibly professional and extremely talented musician. He performed beautifully on our wedding day, but perhaps more importantly, he was an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Tavi "demo'ed" several classical/traditional pieces for us in a pre-wedding meeting to go over our selections, in addition to taking the time to develop a custom arrangement of a popular song. I simply cannot recommend him highly enough. His musical ability speaks for itself, and you would be hard-pressed to find a kinder, more professional musician for your wedding or other event.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 7, 2015•From Beverly Hills, CA
Writing this review is one of the easiest things I've ever done. I only wish there was a higher rating than 5 stars. Tavi, simply put, was amazing from start to finish. His playing is nuanced and passion filled. Our guests were essentially treated to a world class concert the moment they arrived at the church. He was extremely accommodating and sensitive to every need and request we made, from the moment we met over the phone and during our face to face. He is patient, personable and an absolute pleasure to work with. For anyone considering hiring Tavi for an event, my whole hearted advice is, don't hesitate, book him now and rest assured you are in great hands!

The scale only goes up to 5? I'd give more stars if I could!
Tavi was the perfect choice for us for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He is exceptionally talented, and also very easy to work with. He gave us some great choices for songs since we weren't sure what we wanted for certain parts of our ceremony. Tavi was also willing to play or learn specific songs if we wanted them. The ceremony music was absolutely beautiful!
Tavi and his fellow musicians also created an incredible atmosphere at our cocktail hour. They were all very talented, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great they were. 100% recommended!
Thank you Tavi!!!!!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on July 1, 2013•From Alhambra, CA
Honestly, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Tavi is one of the most talented musicians I have heard play. His technique is great, but his musicality is out of this world. He also arrived an hour early for the Service and stayed late when requested without any hesitation. His communication was timely and constant prior to the actual event. During a very trying time, Tavi and his beautiful music was one thing my family did not have to worry about. Thank you so very much, Tavi, for helping make my father's Service beautiful and memorable.
