Amanda F. Sent on 06/03/2024The Marvelous Milton!
I'm unsure how to start this review because I can't even find the words to express how amazing Milton is and how grateful I am for everything he did for our wedding. Long review below:
From our first conversation on the phone I knew we'd move forward with Milton. I could immediately tell how positive and invested he is in his work. His passion for music shined and I knew he would commit to doing an incredible job (which he did)
Milton was very communicative and patient as we took our time to detail everything we wanted. We hired him to play acoustic at our Lakeside ceremony and DJ our reception. I requested a unique song for my bridal entrance and Milton was more than willing to learn that song for me. He offered his help to ensure all the sound at the ceremony was taken care of, even for the Officiant (which heads up, not all Ceremony musicians assist with this!) He met several times with myself and the wedding planner to ensure he understood the flow of the event and our specifics wants.
The day of we were surprised with some serious snow and had to change all of our plans within the hour. Milton jumped right in to re-arrange and ensure we were covered, I'm so appreciative of his flexibility. Everyone enjoyed the live music at the ceremony; he is truly so talented, warm, welcoming - it's one thing to know how to play an instrument, it's another thing to know how to bring people together. He's truly amazing.
Now for the ceremony, I knew I wanted "live, vibrant, high energy" - I wanted someone who could get a sense of the crowd and match that in the moment (i.e if we're vibing to a high energy song, don't kill the vibe by playing a slow song immediately after) Milton EXCEEDED the bar! He listened to what I wanted to be played and mixed an incredible set! I'm still living off a high from how fun our wedding was. Guest were getting up in the middle of our meal service to dance, it was so good!
It didn't feel like Milton was a vendor at our wedding, even while DJing he had the best attitude, danced along with the guest - he was a part of our day and I won't forget it.
Finally, as Milton was packing up to leave - my lively guest moved the party to the pool area and decided to jump in (fun) - Milton came over with his guitar and played for us as other guest joined in the fun jumping in the pool fully dressed. It made for some epic videos and it was so cool of him to do that.
I can't overstate my recommendation for Miltons services and I can't thank him enough for helping to make our day as incredible as it was. He is a talented Musician, DJ but best of all just a really great person to work with.

ur wedding was truly magical, exceeding all our expectations! Milton Merlos Productions played a huge role in making our day unforgettable. Their team is prompt and very friendly! We had some last minute changes with our wedding and they were flexible and ended playing the violin longer than originally planned. They added in songs that were perfect for our intimate wedding and fit our overall vibe.
The positive energy and creativity they brought to the table were infectious, setting the perfect tone for our special day.
We particularly appreciated their flexibility and willingness to adapt to our specific requests, ensuring that every moment felt personalized and unique.
I highly recommend considering Milton Merlos Productions for your wedding. Having live music was the perfect addition to our ceremony. My
Husband was so surprised to see the violinist, I kept it a surprise for him since he loves live music so much, his reaction was priceless as you can see 😊 -

Stop looking for a DJ for your wedding or party and just hire this guy. Absolutely Electric DJ that kept the party going all night. After running into some scares with noise ordinances prior to our wedding, Milton calmed us down and said he will handle it. HE SURE DID! I cant recommend him enough, I promise you will not be disappointed. -

WOW! Where do we begin with expressing how grateful we are to have had Milton play and entertain our wedding guests?
When my husband and I decided to tie the knot over the Cinco de Mayo holiday weekend, we knew we had to incorporate some Spanish flare and fiesta vibes. Enter Milton - the most incredibly talented guitar player who also knows how to read the crowd and keep the energy going throughout the night. Even with our intimate wedding of about 30 guests, the dance floor was packed the entire evening.
Milton was easy to communicate with, flexible regarding some fun new ideas about where to set up at our venue and was literally part of the party. At one point when we were taking photos post ceremony on some giant boulders, Milton approached us and began playing some folklorico/flamenco instrumentals. It made for the most incredible sequence of photos and such a fun moment I'll never forget. When the crowd was jumping, Milton was behind the booth doing the same and matching everyone's energy. The night ended with a surprise karaoke performance by my husband, which Milton seamlessly helped orchestrate.
We can't thank Milton enough and look forward to seeing him perform here in Tahoe int he future!
With love,
The Kings -

Milton is absolutely incredible and we HIGHLY recommend him!! His guitar playing is the perfect addition to your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour or any event. Our wedding guests raved about him serenading all of us at our wedding. And his DJing for dancing was perfect!
He made the process really easy by sending us a packet to fill out with our preferences and schedule which helped our event run really smoothly. He even learned a song on guitar on short notice for the ceremony and it was the perfect addition.
And a story just to give you an idea of how much he values his service and his clients: A week or two before our wedding I had decided to release our dining tables for the buffet by an assigned song....but completely forgot to tell Milton (100% my fault!). I happened to mention it to him right before our grand entrance (with dinner starting right after) and we both realized I had not told him ahead of the wedding. I was willing to skip it, but he was insistent on making our wedding exactly as I had imagined. Luckily I had a list on hand, and luckily he is well-prepared! He seamlessly pulled all the songs, on the spot, and made it one of the most fun parts of our wedding. Every table afterward mentioned how fun that it was and I made sure to tell them that it only happened because of Milton! -

The best DJ/musician in the Tahoe area!!
Milton delivered an absolutely unforgettable musical experience on our wedding day.
He expertly curated a perfect blend of music that had everyone dancing all night long. Milton's friendly and fun demeanor added to the fun vibes. His talent as a musician shone brightly, and his connections within the music industry allowed us to enjoy the added amazingly talented brass instrumentalists, which elevated the experience to another level of fun and excitement.
Working with Milton was an absolute joy, and we are so grateful for his contribution to making our wedding day truly spectacular. Thank you, Milton, for your exceptional talent and wonderful energy! -

I am an event planner and had the opportunity to work with Milton and he truly went above and beyond. He played live guitar for the ceremony which was so beautiful and then kept the party going all night with his dj booth set up. He asked all the right questions prior to the event to know exactly what the couple and the group would want to hear and also mc'd the night perfectly. He is talented, professional and easy to work with!!!! One of my favorite vendors ever. -

WOW, my husband and I are blown away by how lucky we got to have Milton for our live entertainment (Spanish Guitar) and DJ wrapped in one! We were totally impressed and extremely happy to have Milton as a part of our entire wedding experience - from learning our favorite song in very little time to walk the aisle to, to continuing all your favorite hits with Spanish influence on our Yacht cruise, to mixing up awesome songs we provided him while he DJ'd it up while we took over the dance floor - he does it all with ease and versatility!!
Milton has a very friendly, personable approach/demeanor AND it was clear he was having a blast, smiling and in the moment with everyone! We all LOVED Milton and can't wait to visit again to see him play! Milton Rules.
Thanks,

One of a kind!
Milton delivered such a unique experience for our wedding, we could not recommend him higher!! He played live guitar for our ceremony to all of our requested songs, and then played live guitar throughout our dinner. Then when the party started, he so effortlessly was able to mix songs, take requests and keep the vibe so so fun. He even brought his own accent lighting which was such a great touch. He was super friendly and easy to work with throughout the planning process as well. Overall amazing experience, 5/5 would recommend! -

Guitarist and DJ extraordinaire!
Milton brought a level of excitement and talent to our wedding that truly set the day apart. His performance on the instrumental guitar during our ceremony and prelude was breathtaking. He went out of his way to learn new songs we requested, personalizing our processional in the most beautiful way. As the cocktail hour began, Milton's flamenco guitar music captivated our guests, showcasing his incredible skill and adding a unique touch to our celebration.
When it was time for the reception, Milton seamlessly transitioned into DJ mode, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed. His ability to read the room and keep the events moving smoothly contributed significantly to the success of our reception. Milton's fun and vibrant energy were contagious, and he played a pivotal role in making our wedding not just a ceremony but a celebration. His dedication to providing a memorable experience was evident through every chord and song choice, making our wedding truly unforgettable. -

Milton is a one-of-a-kind DJ/musician that makes your wedding extra special! Milton's unique ability to be not only a DJ but also an expert on the classical guitar will leave your guests talking about him long after the wedding. His guitar playing is phenomenal! Every song he played was a hit and he had people dancing all night! He also did a great job with MC duties and announcing things. Very easy and stress-free process through all of planning. His wedding packet made it easy to pick our songs for certain things as well as they give you space to pick must plays, good to haves, and do not plays which was great! And then from there we just said what genres of music we like, and age range of our guests and the music was truly spot on. Highly recommend Milton for a truly unforgettable wedding and/or event! Thanks!!
