Review by Derek S.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 19, 2018•From San Diego, CA

Jim was a pleasure to work with. He always replied to emails quickly, he handled our special instructions without issue, and his playing was top-notch. His music is exactly what we envisioned for our wedding ceremony. He was everything you'd expect from a professional: courteous, polite, and punctual. Overall, Jim was great.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on February 5, 2018•From Dana Point, CA

James was fantastic. He was early to the event and all set up when it was ready to start. He played a great variety of music that was perfect background to our party. I actually sat at a table right in front of him and could have conversations with other people at the table with no problem...I like that.. I highly recommend James for any event where you want nice background music.

Private Party•Reviewed on July 20, 2017•From Aliso Viejo, CA

I needed a performer on short notice for an event in Aliso Viejo. I work in our corporate office in Texas, so I don't have a lot of contacts in Orange County at this point. James was able to accept our job and did everything he could to communicate and accommodate me leading up to the event and while I was traveling. He arrived promptly, was well prepared and performed beautifully, setting just the right tone/ambiance. I would definitely work with him again and look forward to future opportunities.

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on May 7, 2017•From Glendale, CA

James is such a talented musician. Everyone that attended the Rehearsal Dinner thoroughly enjoyed his music. James is very professional and easy to work with. He even took special requests and handled some MC duties flawlessly. We cannot say enough good things about him. Will definitely will hire him again in the future.

Wedding•Reviewed on January 2, 2017•From San Clemente, CA

Having James play during a cocktail reception prior to the formal reception, turned out to be one of the most enjoyable aspects of the wedding event. Many of our guests commented on James and the quality of his playing. He came in quickly and quietly, set up in a corner of the courtyard and was ready to go with minimal direction. He played the genre we had discussed and added so much to the ambiance. His beautiful classical guitar, playing in the background as guests enjoyed a nice glass of wine, lively conversation and the sun setting into the Pacific Ocean, was a great lead in to the laid-back but more formal vibe of the reception. I highly recommend James Vita!

Private Party•Reviewed on November 26, 2016•From Westminster, CA

James was a fantastic addition to our family event! He was so professional. He arrived early and was set up and ready to play as the guests arrived. He played beautifully, so well that we asked him to stay longer than planned! I would highly recommend him for any party or event.

Hi Megan and thanks for the kind words and your generosity. It was a pleasure playing for your family and friends. I wish you a very merry Christmas season. Jim

Family Reunion•Reviewed on October 30, 2016•From Seal Beach, CA

James Vita's musicianship set the tone for our gathering. We had a luncheon at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach to commemorate our Mom's passing. James's music provided a relaxing & light hearted ambience, for what could have been very somber & sad. His performance was impeccable. He was very professional, as well as accommodating; agreeing to start 30 minutes earlier, & playing a song I especially requested.

Jim played guitar for our Valentine's Day dinner on the beach. He arrived on time and his guitar playing was incredibly good. We absolutely recommend him!

Wedding•Reviewed on December 15, 2015•From Riverside, CA

We were so pleased to have James at our wedding. We wanted a to give our guests something special and have a more meaningful experience. James provided just that. He was very helpful during the planning, offering his ideas and he was very open to ours. We were able to collaborate on the song choices, and he even was able to accommodate a song with vocals into a solo acoustic piece for the processional. The day of the wedding, he showed up early to make sure everything was in order. His playing was beautiful and it really made our day. I would recommend James to anyone who wants to make their wedding (or any event) something special. Anthony and Jennifer 10-23-15

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 29, 2015•From Mission Viejo, CA

James Vita was excellent in communicating details prior to the event. His music thrilled everyone in attendance of our party, and everyone wanted to know where on earth we found such a talented and professional musician. James played songs upon request as people were able to easily socialize as the music was not overbearing, and some danced to their favorite tunes. My husband and I look forward to James providing our party music in the future. A true gentleman and a wonderful guitarist. i might add he plays an amazing range of music styles, something for everyone!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 5, 2014•From Dana Point, CA

We had the pleasure of having James play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in Dana Point. James was wonderful to work with. He answered all of my questions and was professional throughout the process. He had no problem playing songs we requested for the ceremony and I heard from guests all night how great he was!

We booked Jim for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and what a hit! He was always responsive to emails and very helpful in choosing pieces that would flow well together for our ceremony. He arrived early and was dresses great! Jim is so talented and the music was absolutely beautiful! We received many compliments on how great the music was. It really set the perfect mood we wanted for our wedding. We couldn't be happier with our decision to book Jim and would recommend him to anyone in the future. Thanks Jim! -Emily and Glen

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 3, 2013•From Dana Point, CA

Jim was extremely professional and accommodating. He even allowed us to use his microphone for speeches and his amplifier to play a few songs from our iPod. He kept himself pretty low key and allowed my guest to enjoy his music in the background. To top it all off he is an extremely talented guitarist. We would definitely hire Jim again given another opportunity.

Very talented and an overall pleasant experience working with Jim. Thank you for your professionalism!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 31, 2013•From Temecula, CA

Jim was extremely professional and accommodated my special song requests for our ceremony. All of our guests found him to be very talented and thought the music was very appropriate for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He was responsive when I had questions or comments which was very important as I planned the wedding from out of state. He had an extensive list of songs to choose from that he already knew that we could choose from as well. His song selection included a lot of modern songs which was important to us as well since the majority of our wedding guests were in their 20s and 30s. He was also reasonably priced compared to the other quotes I received.
