Thank you Emily. Wishing you and Daniel all the best!
We had Lisa play at my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary garden party. She arrived early to set up and was very friendly. Lisa was fantastic and always responded quickly to my messages before the event. I asked her to play mainly 50's, 60's, and 70's songs and she delivered. Every one at the party had nothing but good things to say about her. Thank you Lisa for making the night extra special!

Thank you Shelli. It was a pleasure!
I would definitely recommend Lisa for your event. She was early and prepared. She beat the groom(me) to the event. Her playing was beautiful and she had great communication before the event.

Thanks Daniel. Congratulations to you and Angela!
Lisa played guitar at our daughter’s wedding. It was the perfect backdrop for our outdoor event (in the woods), absolutely lovely music. She’s a very talented musician and a lovely person as well. We were honored to have her play at our event. Our only regret is it was difficult to hear, mainly due to the amplification limitations set by the venue.

Thank you Florian. Best wishes to you and family!
Lisa was super professional and easy to work with leading up to our wedding, and accommodated our venue's restrictions on amplified music. The day of, she did an amazing job! She even learned a special song for our recessional. She really helped create the relaxed vibe we were looking for, for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour.

Thank you Patti. It was lovely working with you. Congratulations to Patrick and Chloe and to your family!
Lisa was the consummate professional - she was easy to communicate with and clear about expectations prior to the event. She arrived early & brought all her own equipment to set up. Best of all the guests at our fundraiser enjoyed her jazz guitar instrumentals and her friendly upbeat personality. I would call upon her again and recommend her highly.

As soon as I heard Lisa's voice during my search, I knew I wanted to book her right away. Working with Lisa was a delight as she made the communication very easy and smooth which is so important when planning for a wedding reception. She was very flexible in terms of hours used and the style of music played and suggested options that worked out wonderfully. As the date neared, she double checked with me all the small details and made sure we were on the same page. This was so appreciated as a lot of vendors do not take this initiative and leaves me wondering until the last minute. Her voice is beautiful and it was perfect for our wedding reception which was indoors at a restaurant. So many of the guests asked where I found her and only had high praises to say. She is professional and sweet with a lot of heart. Thank you so much Lisa for making my wedding reception that much more special. I hope to work with you again in the future!
I hired Lisa to perform at a dinner party I hosted for a group of my friends. She was very professional and a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She is an excellent guitarist and sings like an angel! She has an amazing voice. I can't wait to host another dinner party as an excuse to have her perform for us again!

I immediately forgot about the rising prices of coffee when I heard this fabulous quartet provide the MUSIC that has been imported from Brazil and delivered with no cover charge with my lunch. What a great group of musical masters led by the vocals and guitar of Lisa Sanchez was assembled on the sunny back porch of " Sam's Chowder House " in Half Moon Bay on May 19 . A carnival of fun with some great presentations of delightful Braziian jazz from A.C. Jobim to " Brazil '66 " that made our lunch more than a dining experience. " The Lisa Sanchez / Jon Eriksen Quartet " has top notch professionals who gave us a musical treat that made the coastal sunshine feel even warmer.
I booked Lisa because we're a union organization and would only hire union musicians and I took my changes. She's been fantastic. I've used her three times now—once just with the xylophone and twice with xylophone and bass. They do fun, upbeat arrangements, excellent musicians, have a great range of standards, keep the levels appropriate for the crowd attending receptions (150-400 people). Lisa is great to work with, very professional, pulls together the other players, deals with the venue, and makes it happen smoothly and easily.

As Chief Curator of the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara I know that just as important as having the highest quality exhibitions and education programs, is setting the right tone at our fundraising events. Without the latter we could not have the former. Lisa Sanchez has played at our Museum fundraising events and set the atmosphere perfectly. More than ambiance, Lisa's skill and talent are so exceptional that our attendees were gifted with a concert above and beyond the art on the walls. She will definitely be back!
