Prestige Performances

Played beautifully for our holiday party last year.

The band that is posted on gig salad and on the YouTube channel that they sent us to show their work was not the band that showed up. I wanted to get some experience players to play old school jazz which is what i saw and advertise for my event. They sent a group of high school kids playing RnB covers. I could find lower budget musicians if that’s what I wanted.. Super disappointed ..

Our string trio was wonderful. The Perfect setting for our 30th anniversary

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a broker open at Beachside in Galveston, and the jazz trio truly elevated the experience. Their professionalism was top-notch, arriving punctually and setting up seamlessly. It was clear from the first note that they genuinely know their craft—each musician brought an impressive level of skill and passion to their performance. The trio created a vibrant, sophisticated atmosphere that our guests couldn’t stop talking about. Their music was the perfect backdrop, adding just the right touch of elegance to the evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add a memorable musical element to their event!

We chose Prestige Perfirmances to play at our daughters wedding and cocktail hour. It was the best decision! Damian was so easy to work with and and coordinated with our DJ to add some customized touches to our daughters entrance song.
Every modern contemporary song we choose was already part if their library of songs, which is vast! It was so beautiful! It rained during the cocktail hour, they easily repositioned under the tent and continued playing while guests made our way to the tent.
Just a small example of the range of songs played, GooGoo Dolls, “Iris”, Guns and Roses, “Sweet Child of Mine,” Billies Elish, “Bad Guy”, The Beetles, “ All You Need Is Love”, Cold Play, “Yellow”, Frank Sinatra, “Fly Me To the Moon”, “come , Fly with me”, Natasha Beddingfield “ “Unwritten”, The Verve, Bittersweet Symphony “
If your looking to book a String quartet with a vast range of musical selection at your next event ,I would highly recommend, Prestige Performances. Your guests will be delighted with musical excellence!
Thank you, Damian and Team! Sincerely, Valarie Smith

I hosted a small cocktail reception in my home. Spencer, the pianist, provided the perfect background music. Numerous of my guests told me how perfect the music was - varied tempos, but always in the background so as to add to the evening as opposed to being the focus. A wonderful occassion.

Damian Garcia and his team did a fabulous job playing for our Speakeasy Casino Night Fundraiser for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Central Texas. They all dressed the part and provided incredible music for our event. Thank you for really solidifying our speakeasy vibe and gracing us is your incredible talent!

Prestige Performances absolutely stole the show at my recent birthday celebration! With a guest list of 170 people, we needed a band that could fill the room with energy and sophistication, and they delivered beyond our expectations.

Damien, the band's representative, was incredibly helpful in planning the event. He took the time to understand the acoustics of our venue and recommended the perfect instrumentation to create a rich, immersive sound. The setlist was tailored to our taste, and it was clear that the band had a deep appreciation for the jazz genre.

From the first note to the last, the band's performance was nothing short of exceptional. The musicianship was impeccable, and their ability to improvise and interact with each other was truly inspiring. Every guest was captivated by their talent, and the atmosphere was electric.

If you're looking for a jazz band that can elevate your event to new heights, I highly recommend Prestige Performances. Their professionalism, skill, and passion for music make them the perfect choice for any occasion.

They were amazing to work with! Would 110% recommend! So easy to communicate with! It was a huge hit with the guests!

Damian was my point of contact. Once Damian knew the, who, what, when, where, and what music, it was hands off for US. I will use Damian and this service again and again. It was a wonderful performance. Thank you so very much.

Damian’s team was AMAZING! I not only received two well skilled musicians, but they were so flexible, professional, and kind! I will definitely be using their services again!

Damian and his quartet were fantastic! I had people coming up to me the whole time saying how much they enjoyed Damian's music. If you are looking for the best jazz group for your next event, Damian is the guy to call!

Damian was very accommodating and easy to work with. The music was over the top for our wedding. We highly recommend him.

Great communication, beautiful music, professional team. Everything I wanted and more. Thank you!!

Cello player has no appeal era hardly heard.
I need to get my reimbursed but don’t know how.

They were better than 5 stars. They should receive 10

Band showed up on time and was very professional. They were are very sensitive to the mood of the party and played songs that fit perfectly. I was very happy and I was told by others the band was amazing.

Through gigsalad i was contacted by Damian Garcia i told him that i wanted nice music for my mothers birthday party at an assisted living community .He took care of music selections and the musicians who played were pleasant and a very talented pair .
I will certainly use him in the future .
A simple process.
Thank you .

We thoroughly enjoyed Damian Garcia’s jazz quartet. Not only were they excellent musicians but they were professional and courteous too. Damian reviewed with me ahead of time what music we wanted played at the event and delivered beautifully! We would definitely welcome them at future events!

Damian was incredible to work with. He was communicative, accommodating, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. The band set a great atmosphere for our event with their music. It was one of the highlights of my night. We asked Damian to play some specific songs, some that i wasn't sure would be known, but there was no issue at all. Damian made everything so easy and delivered with top quality. As a control freak, I was pleased to be able to feel confident in leaving everything up to Damian and his team, and everything turned out perfectly. I would work with him over and over again!!!

The music was great, the attendees were so happy with the performance.
Arriving on time agreed and professional customers service.

Damian is great! Would love to work with him again.

Damian was extremely professional, and it was a bonus that he knew our venue! Highly recommend.

Prompt, professional, and provide great music for our firm holiday party. Would love to bring them back for our party in 2024.

The duo did a great hob got my holiday party for a large HOA. People were stopping and enjoying the music.

Damian was incredibly professional, talented as hell and an overall joy to work with. We booked him for a last minute party and he managed to put together an all star quartet for such a magical evening. A Charlie Brown Christmas moment really stole my heart. Thank you, Damian! What a treat.

The band sounded great!

Highly recommend

Damian and his band were incredible to work with. He was communicative and detailed leading up to the event. They were professional and a we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Damian was excellent to work with from start to finish. He was accommodating to our requests, showed up early to set up and everyone enjoyed the music! He played the keyboard and brought in a violinist we had for our cocktail hour. Highly recommend!

Damian was not just a joy to talk to and work with, but he handled my event with such ease. I was just sorry I couldn’t sit and enjoy him more. He played beautifully, and I am absolutely going to be inviting him back for future events.

Very happy with Damian’s service he made my special Wedding at Helen’s Garden beautiful…From the start he was very attentive to my special requests and met all my expectations and will use his service again and I will highly recommend him !!

Damian on piano and Megan on violin were simply fantastic, very talented, perfect for our corporate event, and we'll definitely use them again for our next event.

Damian was a great piano player. Exactly what I was looking for for our VIP event. He was professional and on-time. Thank you!

Damian was so wonderful to work with, he was professional, a great musician, and super accommodating to any changes that came up for our event. I received many compliments on his music and how kind he was. It was a pleasure to work with such a true professional.

Damian and his trio are incredibly talented. We had them perform at two of our galas and it truly elevated the night and made everything feel 5-star. They truly play beautiful music. Highly recommend!!

Damian Garcia and the band he assembled was extremely professional and sounded GREAT. He assembled a group of jazz musicians, including a bass and saxophone, to perform custom jazz covers of popular songs. He was more than happy to edit the set list with me, and was super easy to work with when coordinating the 'Grand Entrance' of the event. He and the band arrived early to set up, and took great cues throughout the night. He even let us borrow his speaker for the rest of the night after he and his team left.

I would recommend him for any formal or professional event you're throwing. He was super easy to work with and the band really conformed to our vision and requests. Cannot praise them enough!

Damian Garcia was exactly what we were looking for! A talented, friendly, professional local Austin pianist who provided the swanky ambience we needed for our event at the 725 Space inside The Fairmont Austin hotel. 5 Stars - I'd definitely book him again!

Thank you Damian for providing great must for our cocktail reception! Your duo's performance really added to the networking ambiance. Also, thank you for making everything very easy for us! Your quick set up and and break down was much appreciated as we were busy with the event. I hope we will work with you again in the future.

Went out of his way to work with us and sounded amazing

Damian was great to work with from the very start all the way through the event. We hired the quartet for a corporate awards dinner and they provided great, upbeat music that received rave reviews all around. If in the area again, I'd definitely use Damian again.

Damian and his crew were awesome! We hired them to play at our NYE party at our senior living community. The residents loved them! The trio was professional. The music was perfect for our event. And they were kind enough to play a resident's favorite song, La Bamba. We will definitely give them a call again! Thank you so much, again!!

I am so glad I hired Damian for a holiday party that I had at my home last weekend. He put together a trio (keyboard, base, and percussion) and they were incredible! They arrived on time and looking like a million bucks, all wearing black suits. The music was SO cool and so gorgeous - they played a great mix of groovy jazz and several holiday tunes. They were all great entertainers; they were really into playing and truly made the party so special. Also, they are all very professional, nice people. I will definitely work with Damian in the future!

1. Music was perfection. Exactly what we wanted and done so well.
2. Showed up on time and was extremely amenable to everything we needed and easy to work with.
3. I would definitely hire him.

Damian played at my daughter's wedding and also at the rehearsal dinner. He was wonderful! Would definitely recommend him for any event!

Damian was excellent for the EPA Region 6 Conference Awards! His music was so soothing and elegant.

Damian and his group were a great fit for our casino 1920's dinner night! The singer even wore an amazing dress that matched the feel of the party perfectly while the rest of the band showed up in suits with bow ties. The band was very professional and flexible with placement. I've worked with a lot of entertainment and you never know what level of professionalism you are going to get in hiring a band. Rest assured, Damian and his group are very professional and easy to work with. I look forward to working with Damian and his group again for future events!

I know my review is EXTREMELY late but I have to say, Damian is an outstanding musician. He was hired to play for a wedding I coordinated last year and it a great experience. Not only was he completely professional and highly skilled as a musician, but he was also flexible and knowledgeable when it came to working with the singer who was hired as well. I would highly recommend Damian for any wedding or special event.

I reached out to Damian about playing piano for our wedding ceremony. He went above and beyond to learn any songs we requested, and he also reached out to a few of his friends to form a 3 piece jazz band for our reception dinner. We were super impressed with how great both he and the band sounded throughout the wedding. Although Damian moved to Austin (our wedding was in Dallas) between the time I first contacted him to the time of the wedding, he still honored his commitment to play our wedding. The only difficulty was contacting him within the last month of the wedding because he was incredibly busy with all the other gigs he was booking! But, I figured that must have meant he was very popular=). Thanks, Damian, for making our wedding a much more elegant and refined affair!

We were so pleased with Damian's performance at the University's high-profile event. Lots of praise from our guests. Damian and his vocalist were thankfully able to change the location where they were playing onsite at the last minute. We really appreciated their flexibility. Awesome performance.

Damian was wonderful, polite, talented, and handsome. What more can I say. Karen the vocalist was beautiful, sweet, and has a wonderful voice. The perfect choice for our holiday event!! Thank you again.

I had a very nice experience with Damian & the whole group - they were on time, nicely dressed, and sounded outstanding! I would highly recommend them for any sort of event needing a live band.

We called Damian a couple weeks before our event to play the piano. We had a surprise vow renewal for my parents' 20th anniversary. Damian was extremely flexible and easy to work with in coordinating everything for the surprise. He played beautifully and we were so impressed with his abilities. Cannot recommend him enough and we definitely will be calling him for any future events we have!

We really enjoy the music, the people in our event was very pleased with the great music, very well done, we totally recommend him and for sure we will save his contact information for the future.

Thank you Damian to you and your group.

Javier Rosero

To whom it may concern,

Damian was fantastic! He made our event a 10 out of 10! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great musical experience for any type of event. He was top notch and we will try to book him again for our next event in the Dallas, Texas area. Thank you Damian for making this a truly memorable experience.

Sincerely,

Kurt Kaufman

Damian Garcia was invited to play for us at an Induction Ceremony back in April and we enjoyed him and the whole quartet so much, that we invited him back to do our year-end celebration banquet this past month. I am extremely impressed with Damian's ability to pull together top-notch musicians. His groups have arrived well in advance of their scheduled time, have been set up and ready to go at show time, and above all, they sound absolutely heavenly! If I could have them set up in my living room each night, I would!

Damian was absolutely amazing! We hired him the weekend before our Roaring 20's Annual Casino Night & Auction and he really brought that special touch we were needing for our event! This was our first time hiring musicians for this type of event and people were RAVING about it! He even custom built a package for us in order to work within our non-profit budget . It was a breeze to book him and he is great with follow up if you have any questions or concerns.. We will definitely hire Damian again for future events and enjoyed our experience with him greatly!

Thank you so much Damian Garcia! You made my music program a big success. I had the hardest time finding a accompanist in Allen, Texas, every piano player on gig salad, turn down my school's music event. Luckily Damian Garcia, reached out to me, and helped me with the event, he commuted from Denton to Allen for rehearsals, and both performances. My student's voice recital and elementary end of the year recital was a big success. My Director was amazed by Damian's talents, and is keeping him for reference of further upcoming performances. Our school is very pleased, and my students are shining stars. Thank you again Damian! Great appreciation to you and Thank you Gig Salad for having great talented musicians like Damian Garcia.

Damian was absolutely amazing! Very professional and was willing to work around a crazy restaurant schedule. Guests were raving about him so much management wants to hire him to play routinely. Damian helped our Grand Opening become a success!!!!

Damian was easy to work with, easy to communicate with leading up to event, and did a great job providing jazz music for a corporate physician attended come and go event. Couldn't have been more satisfied.

Damian absolutely made our evening. He played beautifully with wonderful sensitivity and style. Damian was friendly and comfortable with our guests...and his warm manner, versatile musicality and elegant presence made for an extremely special evening. Thank you Damian

I ran a 3-day marketing conference for 250 people. Damian and his band played for 3 hrs during dinner and drinks ( background music), and everyone loved it.

Not only was the music amazing, the guys are true professionals with the right attitude.

Damian and his crew were wonderful to work with! They provided the perfect jazz music for our church's Fat Tuesday dinner. Loud enough to be festive but not too loud to overpower the room we were dining in. They were a lovely addition to our event and we hope to use them again in the future!

I was hosting a surprise 40th birthday party for my wife with the theme, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and was looking for a solid jazz trio to come and play some mood music. I talked with Damian about the style for a few minutes and left the set list in his hands.

The day arrived and I was a bit nervous because as a musician myself, I know how artists can tend to be late and flaky to say the least. As I'm driving up with my wife to take her in, I'm praying that Damian and his band are there and ready to make the party sizzle with the right music we talked about. 50's party jazz...not the crap in the elevator that puts you to sleep!

My fears were completely unnecessary, thank God! The party was a huge success in part due to the PERFECT set list and amazing performances by Damian on keys, an equally amazing standup bass player and highlighted on drums with the right amount of brushes and sticks (can't remember their names...but after this any friend of Damian is a friend of mine!).

To say the least, it was a groovy, 50's private party throwback performance that would have made Holly Golightly squeal with delight! I know my wife did!

Damian played traditional Christmas music for our party which helped to make it a festive event. Several guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music.

We were thrilled to have Damian play for our Christmas church jazz brunch. He was gracious, played excellently, and was a delightful bonus to our event. We hope to have him next year!

Damian was hired with short notice for an evening engagement at a country club. He arrived promptly and appropriately dressed. With little guidance, he instinctively chose great tunes for the occasion. He's also a very talented and sensitive musician.

Damian was great! Very easy to work with and had an extensive set list. I would definitely recommend him and would be happy to work with him again.

Damian and his vocalist Jeremy were just what our club needed in the dining room on a cold winter day. Our members truly enjoyed their calm sound and they were exceptionally impressed with Damian's piano skills. We will definitely be hiring him back soon!

Damian's music helped create the ambiance we were looking for and he kept the volume at a perfect setting so we are able to mingle without having to shout over each other. Would highly recommend!

I hired Damian Garcia to accompany me for a couple of my singing engagements, and he’s fabulous! Damian is very professional and knows jazz music and standards very well. We had very little rehearsal time to practice the vocal standards I was performing, but he followed me and extemporized his jazz solos beautifully. Damian lives in Denton, but was willing to travel to Austin for my last event. He works very well with soloists and can even help you find extra instrumentalists. I would highly recommend him as a piano accompanist or stand-alone jazz pianist for your event.

Damian was an excellent choice for our event. He was just what we needed. His ability to move us with his gift was effortless. He even played impromptu for a vocalist; unrehearsed and made it sound as if they had worked together forever. He not only looks the part, but plays with precision and poise, moving us with every note. I will recommend him to everyone and find reasons to hire him.
