Review by Steven S.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 25, 2012•From San Diego, CA

Alex was AWESOME! His music was a perfect fit for our event. My wife loves flemenco/Gypsy Kings type music and Alex was able to put together a set list that had a smile on her face all night. He took two very short brakes and played as long as we asked. I found Alex on Gigmasters which was a bit of a leap for me but he was exactly what I expected from listening to his work on the site. Furthermore, he is a really nice guy. The only ding we had was he was hoping to get a contract to me which never materialized but I wasn't feeling the need for one and we let it slide. Everything else was amazing. I will hire him again and recommend him with high regards.

Hi Steven, Thank you for the awesome review! It was a pleasure to for your event and I'm happy that you and your wife enjoyed my music. I just wanted to mention a little side not about the miscommunication regarding the contract. I sent you an email about the contract four days prior to the event, but never got a response back from you. I'm glad that everything else turned out all right :) Alex

Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 14, 2017•From San Diego, CA

We recently used Alex Guillen for a corporate event, and he was perfect. The music was exceptional, he was professional and pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend him. We also never met in person until the day of the event, planning everything across the country, with absolutely no problems. Thanks Alex!

Alex was wonderful - he added significantly to the ambiance of our dinner while playing during our meal and even inspired some dancing during dessert! Highly recommend.

Quinceañera•Reviewed on July 30, 2012•From La Mesa, CA

Very happy. On a minor note - company should advise performers if bill is paid in full. I was asked about the balance and told them it had already been paid - would have liked to not been asked.

Hi Pat, Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you were very happy about the Mariachi Group that I hired on your behalf for Cristina's Quinceñera. I will definitely make sure the band knows ahead of time if the balance has been paid already. Thank you! Alex :)

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on June 21, 2019•From Temecula, CA

Alex was absolutely terrific! He was communicative and responsive throughout the months leading up to the event (including changing the start time). At the event he was in place and playing when we arrived. He played beautifully for three hours (except when we asked him to stop so that we could do toasts). His musical selections were perfect and he played at the perfect volume (we could hear and enjoy the music but it did not over power conversation). I would give him 10 stars if I could!!!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on March 27, 2019•From San Diego, CA

We hired Alex for our wedding for cocktail hour. He was very nice and professional while we emailed back and forth and also reasonably priced! We didn't get to hear him play unfortunately because we were taking pictures the whole time but all of our guests said he was great and really set the romantic mood. Thanks Alex for helping make our wedding feel so special!

Celebration•Reviewed on February 7, 2019•From La Jolla, CA

Alex recently played his guitar for our small family wedding dinner. His music was beautiful and added so much to our celebration! Alex asked us for requests ahead of our event and also during our event. He was very professional and kind. Thank you Alex !

Private Party•Reviewed on December 30, 2018•From San Diego, CA

Alex is a very talented musician and his performance at our party was excellent. He showed up on time, was appropriately dressed and very courteous. The only thing is, there was a glitch in communication confirming his attendance - we weren't sure he was even showing up since he replied to a text message in answer to mine, but I never received it. He has it on his mobile, I don't on mine. Tried contacting him in every way possible for a week before the party, but there was no answer on any of the other modes of communication and no confirmation. When we thought all was lost, he showed up, so all was well but there should be a better way to confirm bookings.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on November 12, 2018•From San Diego, CA

Alex was such a pleasure to work with! He was on time, professional and a very talented musician! He knew exactly what type of music to play to keep with the Mexican/Fiesta theme of the reception. I would highly recommend Alex and will definitely book him again in the future!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 22, 2018•From Coronado, CA

It was great having Alex play for our business retreat (cocktail reception and dinner). He showed up early, asked for our preference of style or any requests, and played beautifully for the entire event. Would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 6, 2018•From San Diego, CA

First, Alex is a phenomenal musician, very fluid, very articulate on the guitar. He already knows alot of music and can improvise on just about anything. Second, he is very patient and accomodating. We came to him with the processional song roughly 48 hours before the wedding and he not only learned it but played it like he'd written it himself. He then improvised with one of the family musicians, taking time to do a mini-rehearsal and then playng backup fills and melodic lines--really added to the performance. He was willing to meet with the bride and groom prior to the wedding and is someone you can easily talk to and work with. Highly recommend him!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 20, 2018•From San Diego, CA

Alex Guillen did a fantastic job for our corporate event in San Diego! We needed a Spanish Guitarist to set the mood for our "Havana Nights" themed event and Alex did just that. He is very talented and took the time to consider what we were looking to accomplish and came up with just the right selections. His music was the perfect addition to make our event special and memorable. We couldn't have asked for better. Alex was also very easy to work with and very responsive to calls and emails. We would definitely hire Alex again.
