Mike Mendoza was nothing short of extraordinary. Not only is he a talented musician, but he is also incredibly responsible and dedicated. From the moment I reached out to him, his responsiveness and clarity in communication stood out. He was punctual, arriving right on time and setting up his system with ease.
The way he engaged with the audience was nothing short of magical — his warmth, energy, and passion filled the room. He played a beautiful mix of classics and Christmas songs that my residents absolutely adored. Seeing their faces light up, their hands clapping, and their feet tapping was a joy beyond words. Many of them are already asking when he’ll return, and their excitement is contagious!
Mike’s music didn’t just fill the room; it filled hearts. He created moments that will be cherished long after the notes faded. I truly hope to stay connected with him and bring his talent and spirit back to our community often. He left us with memories wrapped in melodies, and for that, I’m profoundly grateful.

We have had the pleasure of hearing Mike Mendoza perform at a winery. This prompted us to hire him to play at our company party, which was December 7, he’s truly amazing and very talented ! The music was a lot of fun and he’s very accommodating... I would highly recommend him.

We wanted to have a live performer that was unique and would exemplify elegance and romance and we got exactly that. We were debating between a violinist or saxophone and I am so happy we went with Saxophone. I came across Mike on wedding wire and went on his page and youtube and was amazed. When I emailed he responded quickly which helped us make our decision fast, he was friendly and informative and had his master list available for us. You can also provide him a list of music you want. All my guests raved about him and his music. I had him perform for processional and cocktail hour.
