Review by Lawrence B.
Community Event•Reviewed on July 2, 2025•From Los Alamos, CA
Manny Mestas delivered an unforgettable performance at the inaugural Vine 2 Wine, Brews & Bites on June 21st! His masterful guitar playing brought a vibrant energy to the evening, perfectly complementing the amazing wine, food, and community spirit. Manny’s soulful melodies and dynamic range captivated the crowd from the first note to the last, setting the perfect vibe for this incredible Central Coast celebration.
Whether weaving through smooth jazz, heartfelt ballads, or upbeat classics, Manny’s talent and passion shined through in every chord. Thank you, Manny, for making the night truly magical — we can’t wait to welcome you back again!

Manny was an amazing musician and the perfect addition to our intimate wedding ceremony! He was punctual, friendly, and of course played wonderfully. Our guests loved him. He really went above and beyond! Leading up to our wedding day, he set up an intake call with us and understood and executed our vision. We appreciate him so much and would book him again. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Review by Josh Y.
Church Service•Reviewed on February 4, 2025•From Whiteclay, NE
Where would I even begin, this wasn't a planned event to have Manny jam out, but as he came through our doors that Sunday a peace came over knowing that he would shift the atmosphere, and he did just that. Before I could even finish asking him if he would be willing to play, he was already looking for the guitar. Our church hadn't ever been so full as he brought every single person together in harmony. I know the Lord has ordained Manny to play and so much more, I mean it's like this, he traveled over a thousand miles to an off the map location to play in a church that has no sound equipment with people from all over the US of A, simply amazing. Beyond blessed.
:
Hey Josh, playing for your worship service was the one of the most satisfying times I'ver ever experienced! I look forward to doing it agin! Thanks for taking the time to leave me a review.

Review by Victor M.
Funeral•Reviewed on January 31, 2025•From Santa Maria, CA
We had such a special and loving atmosphere at our father’s memorial, thanks to Manny’s sensitivity to the flow of the service and his skill as a musician. His choice of music and volume level, even apart from what was specifically requested, was absolutely perfect. The music was not only uplifting and encouraging, but you really got a sense that it was coming from a loving and intentional heart, as opposed to mere background music. I would absolutely recommend him for any event that requires someone to read and adapt to the feel of the audience at hand.
:
Dear Victor, I offer my condolences on the loss of your father, whom I had the privilege of knowing. He was always kind, warm, and generous, truly a "salt of the earth." I count it a sincere honor to have contributed to his funeral and bring my gift of music to celebrate a well-lived life. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a beautiful review.

Review by Elliot M.
Church Service•Reviewed on June 21, 2024•From Pine Ridge, SD
Manny’s playing was amazing to say the least. Were definitely not use to that level of professionalism and talent. It felt like we had the Christian version of Carlos Santana in our midst. We were all very impressed and blessed by his singing and guitar playing. He also came into our jail service and the men who came were also blessed and touched in a good way by Manny.
:
Hey Elliot, I was totally inspired and honored to participate in all the services. I look forward to returning to Pine Ridge South Dakota! God Bless!

Review by John L.
Memorial Service•Reviewed on March 11, 2024•From Visalia, CA
For musical services and performance by Manny Mestas at my wife Darlene's memorial on February 29, 2024. Besides the background introduction, Manny also played three songs. Two of these were sung. His powerful rendering of the song "In the Garden" was so beautifully done. This was so touching that there was not a dry eye in the house. You could feel the presence of God as this was being sung. Words would fail me to tell of how special and wonderful his performance made our family feel. This could not have been done better. I on behalf of the family can tell you that I will always be grateful and thankful for his contribution for my dear precious wife Darlene.
:
Dear John, Reaching deep down into my soul to share in the loss of my cousin Darlene was both moving and inspiring. I count it a great honor to have such a role in supporting the celebration and loss of your wife and my cousin. Leaving feedback is a truly selfless act that I sincerely appreciate.
With much love!
