Outstanding Performance

Absolutely phenomenal! Mike Mendoza was hands down one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. From the moment he began playing, he created a mood that was soulful, vibrant, and full of joy. His talent is undeniable—every note he played added emotion, elegance, and energy to our celebration.

Our guests are still talking about how incredible the music was, and many assumed we had a full band because his sound filled the space so beautifully. Mike was professional, punctual, and so easy to work with. He took the time to understand our vibe and elevated every moment—from our ceremony to the cocktail hour and beyond.

If you’re looking for someone who will not only play music but create an unforgettable atmosphere, Mike is your guy. Truly a master of his craft—he made our day magical.

Mike is amazing!

Mike was an overall rockstar. He played at our wedding at our cocktail hour. My guests LOVED him. Since my husband and I missed cocktail hour, Mike played us our own private song. He was very easy to work with and was able to work closely with my venue to ensure their requests were met also.

A must have

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 emerald 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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
