Carlos was the highlight of my 30th birthday party. He kept the energy high and all the guests entertained. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their party/event with live music

We booked Carlos to play at our mums 60th birthday party. Carlos arrived on time and was professional throughout. We loved how Carlos got involved with the guests at our party and mixed with the crowd during breaks and throughout performing and the birthday girl adored his performance. His music was outstanding and took any genre requests we had setting the mood. I would not hesitate to recommend Carlos and is a perfect fit to anyone looking to add some love music to their event. Thank you Carlos.

We used Carlos for our friends 40th. We couldn’t have asked for much more. He arrived well in time and even stayed longer than asked due to the birthday boy being late! His first set he welcomed guest into the venue playing upbeat songs, then as the evening progressed he came inside and played alongside the DJ and everyone LOVED IT. We let him do his own thing and judge the room and so glad we did. Definitely recommend x

Carlos did a fantastic job - he was engaged and professional throughout, clearly cared that we got a good service and wasn't satisfied with the idea that we'd get anything less than 100% from him for the slot we booked. We were both really impressed and would happily recommend him again

I called Carlos 2 weeks ago to ask if he was available for a surprise proposal party for my daughter. Carlos was charming - informed me that he did have availability, sent me song set list, discussed exactly what was required on the day. Arrived promptly - chatted with our guests, played beautifully. Cant thank him enough for making our party such a special occasion. Lauren Dobkins
