About

Hello, thanks for checking out my page on WeddingWire. I have been a musician in the South Florida area for over 20 years, I play a multicultural mix of songs sure to please the audience for any event. I perform a variety of classics both old and contempory, rock, pop, country, musica latina.

I have performed at many events and venues throughout South Florida such as The Barnacle Moonlight Concerts and the Fort Lauderdale Blues Festival. I have also performed at numerous wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours and rehearsal dinners throughout South Florida and the Keys.

My playlist ranges from The Eagles to Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, Jason Mraz, Train, Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney to name a few. My extensive playlist allows me to taylor the performance to suit the event and the audience. I am equally at ease with a soft ballad or rocking out the house.

I am a guitarist trained with famed teacher Vincent Bredice as well as a singer and I also play the blues harp (harmonica) to accompany the guitar and vocals. Only LIVE MUSIC, no kareoke or prerecorded tracks. For a more lively event, percussion accompaniment is also available.

Have a special song in mind, no problem. Special requests are welcomed.

Beach or garden wedding or event, no worries, I have a battery powered sound sytem powerful enough for any outdoor setting.

There is nothing like live music, give me a call I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

Also available, "Cuban Nostalgia" themed events. Featuring the great songs from those tropical nights in Havana of yesteryear. Cigar rolling table (with professional cigar roller)is also available. Ask us about our premium private lable cigars.

Lastly, if the party wants to dance, I can provide dance music, old school disco, R&B, Reggea, Salsa, but NO Hip hop or Rap or Reggeton (ok maybe a little Reggeton). the same as DJ would provide but at a volume suitable to the event and without the loud DJ chatter and big speakers.

Give me a call or drop me an email. You wont regret it.

Check out my website for song samples and client reviews.

We hired Lenny Batista for our 11/26/17 wedding - ceremony and brunch reception - and I'm so happy that we did! He was amazing! Lenny was exactly what I had envisioned for our wedding. Great acoustic guitar playing and singing. He learned 2 songs for us besides playing so many from his extensive song list - even playing several songs by The Who, as we also requested. Lenny helped make our wedding the perfect day that it turned out to be. Thank you, Lenny!

Lenny is a true professional with so much talent! He was a great addition to our wedding. We hired Lenny to play during our outdoor ceremony as well as during the lunch reception that followed. He was open an willing to learn any new song we requested for our first dance and even sang a song that he was hesitant about for my husband and stepdaughter to dance to, and of course he did a phenomenal job! We were so happy with his services and his friendly attitude.

Lenny was an amazing asset to our wedding. He learned and sung our first dance song perfectly. Our guests raved about how good he was. He knows a great song list and can play the crowd with ease. He is a true professional!

Lenny did an OUTSTANDING job. From the first moment we spoke to him to the day of our wedding he was honest, easy to work with and wanted to ensure that he met all of our wishes. Lenny is professional, reliable and has a phenominal voice! We would strongly recommend Lenny..... He was truly fantastic!

Lenny was an absolutely wonderful vendor to deal with. He was extremely professional, prompt, polite and a gifted musician and singer. He played non-stop for 4 1/2 hours, all the songs we had requested and others that were perfectly suited to our event. Thanks, Lenny, we can absolutely give you our highest rating and if we do another event in your area, we will definitely be contacting you!

Finding Lenny was the best experience we could of hoped for! Not only was he super easy to work with, he helped a ton with recommending a perfect spot for a proposal and learned two very special songs just for us. He sang/performed the songs perfectly and added a great romantic touch to them. Made our special day ever more memorable. Would recommend him to anyone!

Lenny played at two events during our wedding weekend...a happy hour we hosted at the hotel the Friday before the wedding, and then again at our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was absolutely FANTASTIC! He read the crowd well, and played music that everyone enjoyed--I had multiple guests approach me to comment on how great he was. The energy was great, and he even let a couple of our friends play a song on his guitar and sing--which everyone really enjoyed. Furthermore, he was very responsive and extremely easy to work with. I would highly recommend Lenny for any event you might be planning, and would give him a 10 out of 5 stars of I could :)

Lenny provided the music during my brother's wedding cocktail hour and I was so impressed with him that I booked him to do the same for my wedding three weeks later even though I had originally planned to have our DJ provide music during the cocktail hour. The short notice was not a problem for him. From the get-go, he was very responsive and easy to work with. More importantly, he's amazingly talented on the guitar and super easy going.

Lenny is awesome! He played acoustic guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He learned a special song for us for the ceremony and killed it. He played a great range of oldies, pop, beach music, rock and a little bit of country. It was perfect for our beach-side wedding. I would definitely recommend Lenny for your wedding!

The first time I met Lenny, I was setting up an event and I heard this wonderful music behind me and I couldn't wait to see who was playing this and the customer said that is Lenny. I walked over and we met and I must say I enjoyed the entire event. He was fantastic and such a great personality. Very professional and just puts you at ease. A few months later I was setting up another event and again heard some awesome music that just stood out so I walked over to see who it was and there was Lenny. I would recommend Lenny Batista and I am looking forward to more future events together, it is always enjoyable. I just love is passion for what he does.
