Matin and his booked talent, Christian, did an exceptional job meeting the needs of our in-house company event. The team was professional, punctual, and communicative throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend their services to anyone considering live music for their next event and would definitely work with them again in the future.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 22, 2025•From Glenview, IL
I had a great experience with Martin and I would absolutely use him again. He arrived early, set up and started exactly on time.
I did not request any songs but he read the room and played accordingly and everyone loved it.
:
Thank you so much for your kind review Jane! This means so much to me! You and your brother were so gracious and welcoming. Thank you so much for your hospitality! It was a joy to play for your mother's 90th, and to see all of her friends enjoy the party and the music. One of her friends came up to me and said that she could not believe that my fingers moved like they do! In fact, that whole table asked for business cards, which made me smile! Hope to see you again soon to celebrate another wonderful event. All the best! Martin.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 10, 2023•From Long Grove, IL
I was looking for a guitarist for my daughters wedding. Martin had a vision of what was needed for my daughters wedding. He suggested that 2 players would sound better than one.
The two guitarists he sent (Hector and Thomas) were amazing. One even did vocals. Thomas has a beautiful voice. They were extremely professional and on time. Everything went exactly as was planned and promised.
The experience in dealing with Martin and his performers was absolutely perfect. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for that extra touch in making their event special. Martin is just a complete professional.
:
Thank you so much for the kind review, Fernando! It was a pleasure to work with you, and supply the best musicians for your daughters wedding. It was fun to pick out the right pieces, and I'm so glad that everything went so well. Let's keep in touch, and hopefully we can connect again in the near future. Salud! Martin

Martin was an excellent guitarist and very attentive to details. He was on to off everything before the event and was attune with the guests during the event and even played some special requests. His kindness is forthcoming as is hos talent and experience! Don’t hesitate to book for your event!

Thank you so much, Elizabeth! It was such a pleasure to play for your party! Your backyard is so beautiful, and reminds me of Spain, especially Cordoba. It's wonderful to play flamenco for an audience that not only enjoys Spanish culture, but supports this beautiful art form. Let's do it again soon! Thank you for being such a gracious host! Martin

Wedding•Reviewed on November 4, 2020•From Barrington, IL
Martin and his mate, Hector, were great! So easy to plan with them and set everything up. We had them at a wedding cocktail hour and everybody loved the music and mood. The best part was how independent they are at setting up and doing their job. On that busy day for me, it was nice not having to deal with small details like that. Walking into the hall and hearing the beautiful music was one of the highlights to the day. Thanks!

Martin arranged for another very talented friend, Diego Alonso, to perform since his schedule would not permit. We could not have been more satisfied. Very professional and easy to work with and excellent classical guitarist! We'd definitely contact again.
