    Beautiful Spanish Guitar

    We hired Miguel to play before and during our wedding ceremony, as well as during the cocktail hour, and he did not disappoint! His music is beautiful and he was such an elegant addition to our day. He wasn't familiar with the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to, but he learned it for me and it was amazing! My only regret is that as the busy bride I didn't get to enjoy more of his Spanish guitar!

    Beautiful Music and Easy to Work With!

    Miguel played our wedding at the Hermosa Inn. We are so grateful we chose him. His music added so much to the reception. It was beautiful, subtle and exactly what we were hoping for. Miguel was also incredibly kind and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.

    Rehearsal Dinner Music

    Miguel played during a family Rehearsal Dinner. His music was the perfect choice for this event….instrumental guitar background music. He was so professional and wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend Miguel!

    Absolutely beautiful music

    We were thrilled with Miguel de Maria. My wedding guests were raving about him and his music during our ceremony and reception. His guitar playing was absolutely beautiful and made our night even more magical. He was also a joy to work with throughout the planning process. I can't recommend him enough.

    Elegant Spanish Guitar, Miguel de Maria's reply:

    Thanks, Bobbie! It was a pleasure to be part of your wedding. It was a gorgeous event. Congratulations to both of you!

    Excellent from Start to Finish

    Miguel performed at our wedding for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance. He did a fantastic job, and we got so many compliments from our guests. It also made our first dance very special since he took the time to learn the song we requested. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested.

    Incredible musician for your event

    Miguel was great to work with - very responsive, and provided a lot of information to help set up the event. We dealt with some small weather issues the night of, and Miguel was so easy going about all of it. Everyone at the party raved about the music and how it really helped make the event above & beyond!!

    Elegant Spanish Guitar, Miguel de Maria's reply:

    Suzanne, thanks so much for the kind words. It was a pleasure to be part of your event, and I am glad to hear the people at the party liked the music!

    Talented and easy to work with!

    Miguel was great to work with. His talent provided an amazing element to our wedding ceremony and our happy hour cocktail reception. His A/V set up was affordable and worked with our venue, despite the wind we had that day, he was able to pivot and provide a different microphone so our officiant could be well heard. I highly recommend Miguel if you're looking for a Spanish and elegant flair. Thanks Miguel!!

    If there was any way to make the Royal Palms any more enchanting - than I highly suggest that you hire Miguel. My husband and I knew from the start we wanted some form of acoustic music for our ceremony and reception. Being that my hubby is Latino and I grew up traveling to Mexico every summer, we knew it would be Spanish guitar. Miguel came highly-recommended from both our wedding planner and several DJs we were prospecting. He clearly has a great name here in the Valley for his work and it's much deserved. I am beyond pleased with the ambiance he created which completely fulfilled our wedding vision (romantic, boho-chic). Thank you, Miguel. I want to get married again so we can hear your beautiful melodies. <3 Perhaps an anniversary gift to ourselves.

    My husband and I could not be happier that we chose Miguel de Maria for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Miguel is friendly, professional, and responsive, and wildly talented. His beautiful Spanish guitar added such a special, romantic touch to our wedding. I highly recommend Elegant Spanish Guitar to all and for any type of event (especially a wedding).

    Thanks, Kira! It was an honor to play at your wedding, and you were truly a pleasure to work with. Best wishes!

    We are so glad we hired Miguel to play during guests' arrival, our ceremony and the cocktail hour that followed. He learned the song we specially requested for the ceremony and played it beautifully. His cocktail hour songs were the perfect complement and helped set the tone. His rates were fair and he is just a genuinely good and easygoing person who was easy to work with during the stressful planning phase. We cannot recommend Miguel highly enough.

    Miguel was wonderful to work with - going above and beyond to meet our needs. He was very accommodating agreeing to learn new songs, without hesitation. He even agreed to sing one of the songs, even though he doesn't generally sing.

    His music was perfect for our wedding and we were very happy with the service he provided. We would recommend him to anyone else who was looking for a Spanish guitar player for their wedding or event.

    Thanks, Miguel. We are very happy we selected you for our wedding.

    I worked with Miguel de Maria recently and hired him for the 4th Annual White Party of the Junior League of Phoenix. I couldn't have found a better artist for our fundraising event! From the moment I contacted him, he was extremely professional and courteous. The guests loved him and he really added to the ambience of the event. He was a pleasure to meet in person and I absolutely recommend him for any and all special events!

    Miguel added such an elegant touch to our 25th anniversary party. We began with cocktails in the Adobe room at Lon's, where he played his beautiful Latin guitar for 40 of our friends. A bit before we began dinner in the Stetson room, he discreetly moved his setup so that when our guests entered the room, the sound of his music would seamlessly flow from one venue to the other. It was a wonderful time, with lively conversation and much laughter. But the feedback we heard time after time was how much everyone loved Miguel's music and how it added to their enjoyment of the evening. He's a class act all the way.

    We hired Miguel for our ceremony and cocktail hour entertainment. He was very easy to work with, he was responsive, punctual, professional, and (most of importantly) played beautifully. It was also a cold and almost rainy day for a wedding, but he came prepared for that as well! If you are looking for a guitarist, Miguel is your man!

    Miguel was amazing and everyone loved him. It was so nice to work with him. I live in another country and he made it so easy to plan for the music and when the big day finally arrived I knew it was going to be perfect. He was really helpful in figuring out music choices and was able to play my favorite song when I walked down the aisle. I highly recommend him.

    Miguel played our event at The Wright House in Mesa, AZ in October 2016. Our entire experience (from booking, to billing, to communication, to the event performace) was top notch. He played Spanish Guitar for our garden party event and was the highlight to our elegant evening. Miguel understood crowd demeanor and event-flow cues without me having to instruct him, knowing exactly when to break for toasts, speeches, and presentations seamlessly. I can't wait to have him at another event because the background ambiance he provided elevated our event, helping make it the talk of the town.

    Thanks Stacey, you guys were very nice folks and fun to play for!
