Highly recommended, the perfect trio for our Zoo wedding

We trusted Anthony to choose the music they do best for our wedding ceremony and reception. It was perfect! Picture this: two guitars and a cello start to play as the bride and groom enter together with a backdrop of giraffes and rhinos at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. During the ceremony hummingbirds came to visit as the music played beautifully. It was like a fairy tale. Music is important to the bride, so having such a talented trio at her wedding was more than she could ask for. We highly recommend Anthony Garcia for your wedding or special event.

Anthony is Fantastic!

Anthony is not only a wonderful guitarist, he's a fantastic person who's utterly dedicated to his craft. He made our wedding night so special, with beautiful, rich, layered flamenco music that enriched our evening and imbued it with a romantic, enchanting ambience. He spent weeks preparing special music for the event, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Anthony, for providing such a splendid soundtrack to our lives' most special day!

Anthony is a professional. His music was the perfect accompaniment to our wedding and cocktail hour. It was easy to meet with him and follow up with music suggestions via audio file of his own recorded music. We had many compliments from our guests as to his skill with the guitar. He worked well with the wedding planner and has been added to their preferred provider list. He was on time and ready to play. We strongly recommend you choose Anthony for your special event.

We cannot say enough good things about Anthony! We planned our wedding long distance (FL to CA). Anthony sent us audio files of song suggestions so we could select the perfect ones. He arrived on time and was all set up and ready to go. I walked down the aisle to his rendition of Bolero a Marcos and it was beautiful! He stepped it up a bit and played his amazing flamenco music during our cocktail hour. If you are looking for a true professional to enhance your special day, you must speak to Anthony!

The Music played at our wedding and reception was incredible!
People were commenting about how much they enjoyed the music! You could have conversations while all the festivities
We're going on! Anthony even let us use the
Mike a few times to have folks say a piece and make a
Toast ! He was a joy to work with and he seemed to enjoy
Being there as much as we enjoyed having him at our celebration!
Great choice!

And most importantly, Anthony's music was wonderful!! We worked on the wedding music choices a bit, but we left it to him to choose and everyone commented on the beauty of the sound; ideal volume and tone before and during the ceremony, plus at our reception and dinner....

Beautiful music! Anthony took care of everything, music selection and set up in two locations for the ceremony and the dinner worked out really nice. The music was not too loud, a nice background for the dinner. I would diffidently recommend!

We had a reception at our house and Anthony provided the music for the first few hours. He was a hit! Loved his music and thought he was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for spanish/flamenco guitar. We will definitely be using him again for future events.

Anthony performed at our recent wedding in San Diego and he was wonderful. He performed solo for the ceremony and as part of a duet for the cocktail hour. The flamenco music was perfect. Our only wish was that we could have enjoyed more of the cocktail hour than the last ten minutes, but as the bride and groom, our presence was needed elsewhere (this was not our choice). I did hear from many guests about the incredible music he performed during cocktail hour. Anthony is a true professional - he is responsive and punctual - and truly enjoys performing.

Anthony was recommended to me by my Father in Law, who had seen Anthony play at a company event. We were told that we would not be dissapointed. My Wife and I were more than impressed by the quality of play and Anthony more than exceeded our expectations. We chose to book Anthony for a family reunion/engagement party the night before our Wedding at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. My relatives and friends still talk about how special that night was having everyone dine together while having a live Flamenco guitarist to "spice" our catered event up.

My Wedding was the most beautiful event that I could have ever dreamed of having! This was definitely because of Anthony and his music! From the first moment that I called him, I felt such a strong rep-or, He is absolutely an amazing Guitarist/Musician!!!!! Hiring him to be part of my special day was one of the happiest decisions I made! He chose and played the most beautiful songs you have ever heard while I walked down the aisle toward my husband, as well as after the ceremony, and then dinner and dancing- Especially the ones he played for my first dance with my Dad, and then my Husband! It's music that you will want to hear forever! He is beyond talented, it seems to just flow out of him naturally-, it's incredible! He has the most wonderful personality I am sooooooooooooooooo happy to have had the privilege of having Anthony with me and my family for my Once in a Lifetime!!!! I would recommend Anthony to everyone that wants to make their day amazingly beautiful!!!!! Thank you so very much Anthony!!!!

We held a very important corporate reception for about 500 client executives. The ambiance of the reception needed to be perfectly in tune with the setting and Anthony's music was the perfect touch. His musical talent and skills are wonderful, and he's a complete professional. I received many comments about how much people enjoyed our event, and many of them specifically complimented Anthony's music. I would definitely work with Anthony again.

Anthony is incredibly professional, helpful, and talented. He took the time to meet with us at the site weeks in advance of the event, and he was also helpful in recommending other vendors to us. His music set the perfect tone for our wedding. Guests loved him! We would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Anthony is a fabulous professional flamenco guitartist!! He played beautiful music during the cocktail hour of my wedding reception. I wish I could have booked him for more than an hour. Anthony is very talented and you would be missing out if you did not hire him.

LOOK NO FURTHER...ANTHONY IS YOUR GUY! He played during our outdoor wedding and it was absolutely perfect. His beautiful music set the tone for our ceremony. Anthony was playing as guests arrived, during the ceremony, and also during our cocktail hour before dinner. He was punctual, very talented, and great to work with. We would HIGHLY recommend him!!

We hired Anthony Garcia and his friend Sam Johnson (bassist) to play during our cocktail hour as a duo for our wedding at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. We booked Anthony and Sam through Peggy Jewell, who provided a contract, accepted a deposit and ensured that payment was remitted to them, and who also provided insurance, which gave us the sense of security and professionalism we were looking for in vendors while hiring them for our wedding. Anthony and Peggy were responsive to our questions and requests and made every effort to answer them quickly. Anthony and Sam were punctual and ready early, putting everyone at ease. They adjusted the volume to accommodate our guests desire to hear themselves, and were always receptive if asked to adjust it again. Both Anthony and Sam dressed appropriately and presented themselves well, as well as communicating respectfully and professionally at all times. Anthony was flexible and made it known they would be available longer than the original contract times if necessary, which would have been very nice if the next portion of the wedding was forestalled for any reason. I would happily recommend his service to others looking for tasteful, sophisticated acoustic music at their wedding or other event.

I should have written this request 2 years ago as Anthony was so wonderful! Anthony provided the ceremony music as well as the cocktail music for my wedding. I really had no idea what I was looking for, but I knew I wanted to work with Anthony. I went to hear him play at a local cafe and he played a song that he recommended for the walk down the aisle and I loved it! He was so professional and responsive and also great to work with the day of.

We received so many compliments regarding the reception and the music just made for a perfect night. I continue to work with Anthony when I need music for a corporate function and he never disappoints!

Anthony played at my wedding at the Botanical Gardens in Encinitas. Anthony played solo at the ceremony and he and his band played at my reception. Our ceremony started late because I forgot the vows at home and my husband had to go back and get them! Anthony did such a beautiful job playing for our guests and entertaining them while they waited. It was a huge load off for me to have him there and taking care of that for me without my asking him to step in. He is a professional and extremely talented. I would absolutely hire him again for a large event. His music is so beautiful and we loved it and so did our guests.
Thank you SO MUCH Anthony!

Anthony was everything and more we could have hoped for on our wedding day. He performed beautifully at our mass/ceremony and cocktail hour. We received several positive comments about Anthony from our friends and family after the wedding, including from fellow musicians. He required little instruction and is a true professional. We highly recommend!

I recently coordinated a client event at L'Auberge Del Mar. Anthony was recommended by L'Auberge and I hired him as a duo with bass + guitar. They created an atmosphere that was perfectly suited to our event. All my guests commendted on the nice music. Anthony was a pleasure to work, responsive to my questions, very professsional and a very talented musician. I highly recommend him and know that you will be as pleased as I was.

Anthony's Flamenco guitar playing was exactly what we hoped it would be. He was on time, flexible, played exactly the right thing at the right time and he was a joy to work with. The type of music he played fit our event perfectly. I would highly recommend hiring Anthony if you are looking for a Flamenco guitarist.

I highly recommend Anthony Garcia! He was very professional, personable and a pleasure to work with from setup to tear down. Our event was a fundraiser which is more technical than your average event as we had no dancing and a detailed timeline. Anthony was very accommodating, working with us to provide the perfect ambiance for the evening. He also allowed us to use his full set of AV equipment at no extra charge which was a complete lifesaver! Additionally, our guests were extremely pleased which helped set the tone for a very successful fundraiser. Thank you Anthony!!

Anthony was a pleasure to work with! The Spanish guitar for the ceremony music was the perfect touch. He was punctual, detailed and positive! Gave him creative liberty to chose the processional and recessional music and he made excellent choices. He also provided a Trio for the cocktail hour that was a big hit as well! Would definitely recommend Anthony and his musical services!

Anthony was amazing. He was very helpful in selection of music to play during the processional. He assisted us with our ceremony music (we had a candle ceremony, a special song sung, and exeunt music). He was very professional in his setup and tear down. The reception was technical as we had no dancing, and instead of dancing we filled it with other forms of entertainment with this Anthony was very accommodating allowing us to use his equipment. He told us he would play flamenco music until the very end... and he did just that! Our guests were extremely well pleased with everything and the ambiance of the evening and Anthony contributed greatly to that. Thank You so much Anthony for making this very special for the two of us and our guests!

This event wasn't really a Holiday Party, it was a concert at our Valley Center Library Branch. Anthony was to perform lor an hour. Instead, his performance was at least an hour and a half. He is an excellent guitarist who has a deep respect and love for the art of flamenco - and he expresses and shares that love with the audience through his work. Anthony also brought a flamenco dancer who added to the spanish flavor of the concert. Our audience was very impressed abd enthusiastic about both Anthony and his dancer. I would certainly bring anthony for another concert at the Valley Center Branch Library.

Anthony arrived about a half hour early to set up at the beautiful Orfila Vineyards in Escondido. The music was perfect...very much fitting the environment and event. We received many compliments on how everything melded together and everyone's comments revolved around two things: the setting and the music. (the wine was excellent as well)

We will certainly hire Anthony again.

We hired Anthony to play during our ceremony, cocktail reception, and dinner. Prior to the day of our wedding, he was very quick to reply and professional at all times. He met with us several times prior to our wedding day to ensure our day was perfect! The music was perfect. He is an extremely gifted musician, and he was tuned in to the guests and the event. Ours guests still rave about Anthony! He was the perfect addition to our day.

Anthony was fantastic! He took care of all of my questions ahead of the event and clarified what we were looking for in a guitarist. He follow up prior to the event which gave us ease of mind since we hired him through his website, without knowing him. When he arrived (on time) he asked for our desired location for him to set up to play but we thought it best to leave that to him. Anthony picked the perfect location to be heard through the party of 50+ people for a 50th wedding anniversary. The guests were all so complimentary of his playing and our parents especially loved his music. The event was perfect, in large part, due to Anthony and his talented playing. I look forward to needing a guitarist in the future so I may call him to play again.

We recently were married, and the planning time leading up to our special day was filled with lots of preparation and planning. We had chosen a Latin/Mexican theme for our wedding/reception/honeymoon etc, so it seemed natural to have Mr. Garcia play flamenco guitar at our pre-ceremonial reception and during the ceremony. He was terrific! We loved his professionism, response and talent. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat for any other event we plan on hosting in the future!

The flamenco guitar is a fantastic alternative to the same old d.j.
Anthony was very professional right from the first time I contacted him. He was hired to start playing at 8:00 and was going to be ready by 7:45 but showed up well before that. He included his percussionist who was also excellent. I highly recommend Anthony Garcia for any event you may have coming up.

Anthony was amazing and the music was so romantic. My guest loved hearing flamenco instead of the traditional music. He also played at our cocktail reception which was very intimate and romantic. He chose the songs for us since we had no idea what would work best. They were all great recommendations. I definitely recommend you hire him for your special day!

Anthony played our October wedding at the Prado in Balboa Park, and was fabulous. We knew we wanted Spanish guitar to fit the venue, but weren't really sure beyond that. He offered up suggestions for some of the more classical pieces we wanted in the style of Spanish guitar (processional, etc.), and put together a great set to set the tone for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour. He was responsive, professional, reasonable, and flexible - even helping us utilize his equipment to play a special recorded song we wanted as our recessional. We would definitely work with him again, and certainly recommend him to anyone looking for some great Flamenco guitar at their event.

Classy, professional, captivating. I thoroughly enjoyed having Anthony play at my wedding in La Jolla. Amazingly, my husband and I put on a wedding for under 10K at Cuvier Park and La Valencia-- with Anthony's music the tone and ambiance was just right. He keeps good communication and made sure all the arrangements were taken care of for his needs to perform. All my guests gave us positive feedback, praising his music. He helped us pick pieces for each part of the celebration that fit just right, traditional and pieces that he enjoyed playing. I recommend him for your celebration.

Anthony Garcia helped make our wedding amazing! My husband and I wanted a unique form of music during our cocktail reception and Lois Mathews, our florist, recommended Anthony to us. His music was the perfect complement to the Spanish architecture that surrounded us within the courtyard of The Prado and we have received many wonderful compliments from our guests because of him. In addition, we were also impressed with his professionalism and how reasonably priced his services were!

Anthony was a breeze to work with from the very beginning. We needed a guitarist on short notice for our wedding ceremony & reception at the Bahia Hotel in Mission Bay, and Anthony came through. He was extremely flexible and attentive throughout the whole process. We received numerous compliments after the wedding from our guests who really enjoyed his music. Thanks again Anthony!!

Anthony played acoustic guitar at our outdoor ceremony at Maderas in Poway. I was a music major in college and also have the gift of perfect pitch so I was worried about finding the right musician for our day. I was completely blown away when I heard Anthony's work and was extremely impressed. He worked with me on the song selections and even provided me with music samples of his work! He was so easy to work with and is so talented. I highly recommend him!

We had Anthony Garcia as our guitarist for our wedding ceremony and a part of reception at Darlington House in La Jolla, CA. He was recommended by our wedding planner. We appreciated that he was flexible and was willing to work with us on music to play. His music was amazing, and complimented the elegant setting of Darlington House well. We highly recommend his service.

We were thrilled to have Anthony as our musician at our wedding! From the start, Anthony was friendly, professional and easy to communicate and work with. His love for authentic Flamenco music is extremely evident and shines through the moment you hear him play. We were married at the Hilton Mission Bay on the water, so his style was a perfect fit! We thank you for adding a beautiful touch to our ceremony that we (and our guests!) will never forget.

I work as an assistant with Crown weddings in Coronado,ca and have had the pleasure of hearing Anthony play numerous times for the many weddings I have assisted. I recently coordinated a wedding that took place on the beach in Coronado with a reception following at Miguelitos restaurant and immediately contacted Anthony to play acoustic for the ceremony and then play during Cocktail hour. I really wanted the music to compliment the casual elegance of the beach and that is just what Anthony provided. The guests enjoyed the beautiful music along with the beautiful day and the beach breeze. Anthony was extremely flexible with the quick set up from one location to another and was very professional and timely. His music is both unique and perfectly suited for a variety of settings. I look forward to working with him again!

For authentic flamenco guitar Anthony is your man!!! He really added to the Ambience of our wedding and added to our 'destination wedding' theme at the lovely Rancho Valencia Resort. My only disappointment was my groom and I couldn't take advantage of listening to him during cocktail hour.However we could hear his enchanting melodies in the distance which provided an even more magical mood during picture taking.

I was celebrating my graduation from law school. Mr. Garcia promptly contacted me regarding my inquiry. He listened to me as I explained what type of music I was interested in. He sent me additional songs (not on his website) for my review. Further, he followed up with me to see if I was still interested in hiring him.

The day of the event, he arrived on time, dressed professionally, and performed as I imagined. He met my expectation to have beautiful guitar music as a backdrop to my reception. I recommend his service.

I hired Anthony for ceremony and cocktail music and he was one of the first vendors I hired. He was very easy to work with and was always pleasant on the phone. Words can not begin to describe the beauty of his music. When I walked out for my processional, I was breathless, the music was perfect and helped unravel such a fairy tale theme. He was everything I could have asked for and more. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to add elegant beautiful music to her wedding.

Anthony played for our cruise the day after our reception. His price included a second guitarist on our request. He was wonderful to work with. He took his own time to meet with us on the boat a couple of weeks before the wedding to ensure the layout would be perfect. His music received rave reviews from our guests. I couldn't recommend him more.

Anthony really set the tone for our beautiful wedding feast. We had a long kings table for 125 guests which was magical, like an italian setting. Anthony's music made us feel like we were in Europe. He was professional from the start and had great ideas for our wedding. He was very flexible, as well as skilled in flamenco. We were very appreciative that he was able to set up in a different area due to the rain earlier, he definitely made it happen. Many people complimented him & we would definitely use him again for other events.

From the first time I emailed Anthony, he was very friendly, professional, and willing to meet all my music needs. Anthony played at my ceremony and reception and created a perfect atmosphere at both.
Having a Flamenco guitarist at my wedding was unique and a hit with all my guests. He charges a very affordable rate, but his performance is worth triple what he charges.
I recommend Anthony to all my friends. His music was an unforgettable part of my wedding.

Our caterer, The Wild Thyme Company, told us about this guitarist since we were getting married at the San Luis Rey Mission which is a very dramatic old building with beautiful Spanish architecture and they thought it would tie in with the theme. I love classical guitar music and wanted something really special and unique for our wedding and Anthony really delivered. He played a little private concert for us and my husband and I knew INSTANTLY he was the one. At first my husband wasn't sure about my idea of hiring a guitarist but when he heard him he totally agreed. I will never forget the sound of the guitar echoing in that beautiful church...it made the day feel so special! I would TOTALLY hire him again in a heartbeat!

Anthony is an incredibly talented musician. He knew exactly the sort of music that was needed to make our event perfect. He kept in touch in the time leading up to the event, he showed up early to get set up, he stayed until the last guests were leaving. Although he is at the "high end" on the cost scale he was absolutely worth it. I'd hire him again without hesitation.

I hired Anthony to play his Flamenco Guitar at a small dinner party in honor of my wife's 70th birthday, at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel. He played during the cocktail hour, as well as dinner, and it was the perfect compliment to the evening's activities. The selection was up-tempo and non obtrusive, allowing the guests to talk to each other while enjoying the rhythms from the guitar.

Anthony was responsive whenever I reached out to him. He was very flexible and even agreed to come earlier than we originally discussed in order to play during the wedding ceremony. Originally he was only going to play during the cocktail hour. I was very pleased with the mood and energy that the music created at the event.

He is very talented and passionate about Flamenco and will stay true to his style. We received feedback that our guests loved the music too!
