Highly recommend. Excellent musicians and all round great guy who played flawlessly even during a downpour
Nick was fantastic! He stayed in touch leading up to the event, Showed up exactly when he said he would and was well dressed for the occasion. Nick was super flexible with setting up and moving from outdoors for the ceremony to indoors for the reception. He played guitar beautifully and took requests. He was very patient with the little kids who were around him and with me changing things on the fly!
Response from Nick Sosa, Guitarist:
Debbi, thanks so much for having me share in you and your family’s special day. It was a blast!
Nick responded to my request very soon after I summitted it. I found a plethora of material on YouTube/Spotify that my fiancé and I watched and listed to for weeks leading up to the wedding.
We touched base with Nick a few times before the event and he was very flexible and receptive to everything we asked for. He was able to play just about any song we asked about, and it sounded great!
The day of, Nick showed up before the scheduled time to make sure he had everything ready. I did not have to worry about music whatsoever, it was great. Not to mention, he is incredibly talented and played the style of music we were looking for.
Everyone had an amazing time and I had comments from just about everyone at the wedding about how much they enjoyed the live music and how talented and friendly Nick was. Would recommend to anyone looking for a live musician!!!
Response from Nick Sosa, Guitarist:
Kellen and Brenda!
Congrats and thanks so much, it was a pleasure playing for you!
We hired Nick for our welcome reception on our corporate trip. He provided the perfect sounds for our evening! He is flexible to what he can offer to play, was punctual, professional and easy to work with! And of course he has great talent!
I highly suggest Nick for any musical needs!
Nick plays a wide repertoire of songs covering multiple decades and genres of music. He went to great effort to make our party a success, even learning a special song for me. He was a hit with all my guests.
Nick was a great addition to our event. He is talented with a wide range of music. And, he is a great guy.
I regret not designating one person to record my "unplugged" wedding ceremony, partly because Nick's playing was SO BEAUTIFUL. Not only is he incredibly talented, he was so easy to work with! Don't hesitate to book him!
Nick played instrumental guitar for my sister's wedding ceremony at a church - and it was fantastic! His music truly added such a beautiful element and we couldn't be happier with his services. Also, about a week and half prior to my sister's wedding, we had to cancel our other guitarist due to really unprofessional behavior - we were panicking but we found Nick on this platform and he was so flexible and accommodating that he made all our worries disappear! He was extremely communicative and kept us updated on his movements the day of the wedding. Multiple guests remarked how the music was so beautiful too --- I would hire Nick again!
Response from Nick Sosa, Guitarist:
Thanks so much! It was a beautiful ceremony and I was happy to be a part of the day!
Nick was an amazing addition to our special evening. His music selections were perfect to help create an incredible environment.
I will definitely hire Nick for future events.
Response from Nick Sosa, Guitarist:
Kenneth thanks so much for the kind words! I had a lot of fun playing for your party, great night!
Nick played at a family party and he was a perfect addition playing guitar with a contemporary jazz/Brazilian vibe. Nick was a consummate professional. Our guests responded with great admiration for his musical ability. We have all become fans and will support him in the community and look forward to inviting him again. I absolutely would recommend him!
We had planned on hiring Nick alone for one night of our corporate conference, then heard his 3 piece group Trio Envy and had to have all three. They arrived in plenty of time to set up, played a wonderful selection of music and definitely tried to please everyone. I'd highly recommend having them at a party. I'm an event planner and will definitely use them the next time I have a project in Palm Springs!
Nick played at a wedding reception of 110 people we hosted. He played modern jazz, as well as Spanish music, which fitted the mood of gathering very well. The music was in the background and fitted in perfectly with the celebration outdoors. Many of the guests spontaneously commented on his great playing. Look no further if you want exceptional music for your event with a very nice person to go with it.
Response from Nick Sosa, Guitarist:
William, thanks so much. I had a great time!
Nick was great, amazing performance, generous, brought vocalist and other musician. Timely responses to questions. Very professional. Was a wonderful addition to a great weekend.
Can’t recommend Nick enough! He played guitar for a small party I hosted this weekend and it was the highlight of the day. He was great at communicating prior, learned a song I requested, and was able to read the crowd and play songs that fit the event perfectly. On top of all that, his renditions were amazing! Would definitely recommend!
Professional, great entertainer -- fantastic musician and guitar player. It really was a great addition to our party
We hired Nick for an event we hosted for a non-profit organization and he added just the right touch to the event. It was a game day/fund-raising event so the tunes that Nick provided were perfect for the light, fun atmosphere of the event. His set up was simple and did not take up a lot of space which was good for us as our location was packed tight! The set list he selected was a perfect mix of jazz standards and pop interpretations. He was punctual, attentive to our needs and professional. Would definitely hire him again for another event!
