    Hire Nick- you won't regret it!

    Nick was an absolutely amazing musician and DJ to work with! He played live music and deejayed at party we had last weekend, and everyone was raving about how talented he was. The dance floor was crowded all night, Nick did a great job reading the room and playing songs that got people up and dancing. Highly recommend hiring Nick for any event you are hosting!

    Awesome musician and DJ

    Nick is such a multi-talented musician. We had him playing acoustic guitar and uke at our ceremony and happy hour, and then DJ and announcer for the reception. He did such an amazing job with all of it!! We were so excited to have one person for all our music needs. Everyone loved it, and the dance floor was hopping all night! Thanks Nick!!

    Please hire Nick for your wedding!

    Blown out of the water by Nick! He was so easy to work with, very straightforward with what he needed from me regarding song preferences and suggestions a month before the wedding. We hired him for both live ceremony/cocktail and DJ at reception. I let him know before hand (warned him) that both my mother and my mother-in-law would be a lot to handle (lol) at the wedding regarding trying to grab the mic and trying to convince him to play “their” music. Kudos to you! You honored my request to play what my husband and I wanted only! Thank you! My husband and I had a moment during our cocktail hour where we actually looked at each other and heard one of our songs “Yellow” by Coldplay and it felt magical. My husband and I danced all night and that’s all that matters!!

    Best Live Wedding Singer Ever!!

    If you are looking for an incredibly talented, professional, kind, and enthusiastic wedding singer who can also play acoustic guitar and ukulele exceptionally well, then stop your search because you have found all of that in Nick Weiss!

    My husband and I hired Nick to sing and play an acoustic music set for the farewell brunch during our wedding weekend in Palm Desert this fall, and we could not have been more thrilled with the experience! First, we decided fairly late in the planning process that it would be such a treat to have an acoustic singer for part of our wedding weekend, and Nick made himself readily available only 6 weeks before the event. He reached out to us for inspiration regarding the vibe we were hoping to achieve, and even requested that we send a list of songs we would like to hear during the event. I absolutely love music and sent a pretty ambitious list of favorites about a month before the big day. By day of the event, Nick had mastered every song we requested, and he included them all in our set! We were so impressed by this, as it really exemplified his obvious dedication to and love of his work. I also shared with Nick that one of the reasons we were initially drawn to working with him was the beautiful cover of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” he played on his website, which was my late mother’s favorite song. When he played that song at our event, my dad, siblings, and I all gathered around him and sang with him. This small gesture was such a special surprise for my family, because it was one more way in which we could include my mom in our wedding weekend, even though she couldn’t be there in person. Nick totally understood that and it made the experience even more memorable! Finally, Nick was also truly a joy to work with. He was hardworking, professional, kind, and easygoing, even staying longer than his original contract specified until the last guest had left. We were so incredibly happy to have Nick as part of our special weekend, and our guests have continued to compliment his work regularly in the months since the event. We can’t recommend working with Nick Weiss Music highly enough for your special day, and we feel confident that you will be just as happy with his exceptional work as we are!

    Thanks so much Brieze, it was my pleasure. I really appreciate the time taken to review, and congrats to you and Peter!

    I am not musical in anyway and my only request for a DJ was that he not be annoying as an MC. My husband took on the task of finding a DJ and was thorough in his search. We had a great call with Nick and felt confident that he could meet my husband’s needs and not mess up my one request. Nick was fantastic. He played acoustic guitar before the ceremony and our requested songs during it, he played and sang during the cocktail hour, and became our DJ for the party. He was a great MC when needed and a great DJ all night. We provided specific song requests for key moments and talked with him about what we like. I appreciated that he did a great job of appropriate music selection with very little guidance from us (although I know he would have taken more specifics into account had we provided them). Thank you Nick!!!

    Nick did an incredible job at our wedding! He is a very talented musician and played live acoustic guitar during our ceremony and during our cocktail hour. He was the also the DJ for our reception and even played some live music again during dinner. Nick worked with us to make sure that all the songs he played at the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were to our liking. Nick also did a great job as MC for our grand entrance, first dance, and introducing the wedding toasts.

    We would recommend Nick to any couple looking to have a talented musician and DJ for their wedding. Nick can do it all!

    Nick was our DJ at our wedding and he was fantastic! He really read the room well. My husband and I are terrible dancers and are first dance was a little awkward. When he saw my husband stepping all over my dress he slowly faded the music out! I was so happy!

    Nick was very accommodating to all our requests and the whole process with him was very easy. His music selection was spot on and he kept people on the dance floor all night. Another aded bonus, Nick plays live music as well, so we had live guitar as people walked into the ceremony area and it made for a beautiful event. I highly recommend Nick!

    Our wedding was a complete success, and Nick was a big part of it. Everything from planning to the end of the night was super easy with him. We met over facetime once and exchanged a lot of emails, he was very responsive in all communications. On the day of the event I didn't even talk to him until dinner, he had everything under control. He played live guitar for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and we kept getting compliments on his vocal performance. We aren't big dancers ourselves and had a small, casual wedding but the dance floor was never empty, and Nick was not monopolizing the microphone, we did NOT want someone shouting to get people up on the dance floor all night.

    Overall we're completely happy and highly recommend Nick Weiss, we weren't sure we could afford live guitar and a DJ and he made it possible.

    We had to choose from a preferred vendor list that came from our venue and boy were we happy that Nick Weiss was on it. What drew us to Nick was the fact that he played live music and DJ'd. He is a truly talented musician and knows just how to play to each type of crowd during the dance party.

    Nick performed the music for our son's and daughter-in-law's wedding ceremony and reception on 2/26/2016. Acoustic guitar and ukulele. It was awesome! The selection was so absolutely appropriate and his arrangements phenomenal. The music for the ceremony was exactly what we had wanted and hoped for. At the reception Nick kept the volume exactly right so everyone could enjoy the music while enjoying each other in conversation. We are still getting compliments on his musical performance. We cannot possibly see how the music could have been any more perfect. Thank you Nick, for adding so much in making the day so very special. Nick is an extraordinary musician to whom we give the absolute highest possible recommendation! 5 star +++++

    Nick did a fantastic job playing accoustic guitar and ukelele at my wedding. I was a destination bride and heavily relied on contact via phone and email. Nick was very responsive throughout all the planning. I live in Hawaii and had the wedding in San Diego so I was thrilled that Nick was able to provide some Aloha with his uke playing. Having live music is key during the ceremony and first dances. Nick will learn a song if he doesn't already know it, though we did not need him to do so since he knew everything we wanted. We didn't have a set list of songs for the entire event, but we didn't need one since Nick knew our style and knew what songs would work. You won't be disappointed if you pick Nick.

    We used Nick for our wedding ceremony and loved working with him! Nick played his acoustic guitar and we were so happy with his performance! Nick allowed us to choose three songs to have played during our ceremony and provided helpful feedback during the selection process. He was very responsive to emails and really knows his music. Our guests even commented on how great the music was! Thank you Nick for helping make our wedding so special!

    Nick played at our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was PHENOMENAL. He worked with us to customize the ceremony and played absolutely beautifully! We were very particular about what music we wanted and he did such a great job - I was very impressed.
    Our friends and family absolutely loved him at the cocktail hour and everyone asked where we found him! He is very talented, has great taste and is a really genuinely nice guy. Really easy to talk to and plan with as well - which is a bonus for wedding vendors!

    We chose Nick for our wedding because of his unique offering of both live music and DJ services. We had him play acoustic guitar for the ceremony and cocktail hour and take over traditional DJ and emcee duties for the reception. We were very happy with how everything worked out and enjoyed both the music Nick performed himself and chose for the reception.

    He was good about asking us what songs we wanted and styles that fit our personalities. The music selection kept the party going and all the guests enjoyed it.

    We hired Nick to play guitar/ukulele for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He then transitioned to being our DJ for the evening. He also provided some uplighting for the trees at our venue. We could not be happier with his service. Everything was spot on. The ceremony music was just what we wanted and cocktail hour had the perfect vibe. He is a very skilled and versatile musician. When we first met, Nick promised us that he could read the room and keep people dancing and excited, and boy did he deliver. He works best if you trust him to do his thing. Give him a "do not play" list and a list of must haves and let him do the rest. He will not disappoint- EVERYONE at our wedding enjoyed the music and had a great time, and we did have quite a mix of ages and generations.

    Unfortunately Nick was not available for my wedding day, so I was referred to his subcontractors. The woman who was my DJ struggled to keep the party moving, and did not announce the wedding events as asked to do so. Several of my family members had to ask her to announce the cake cutting, etc. even though she was given a schedule. I am sure Nick is awesome, but I would not go with his subcontracted DJ again.

    Nick Weiss Music's reply:

    I just had a pleasant talk with Brooke and the DJ, and would like the opportunity to add to the story. We are sorry Brooke wasn't completely satisfied, and we will continue to improve our service based on this experience. Please note an important detail: there was no coordinator present, and we were not made aware of that ahead of time (I do ask, and there was one listed on the questionnaire, but it did not specify it was only for the ceremony). We are happy to work without coordinators, but in their absence, the DJ will need to be cued by a friend or family member, even if there is a timeline. We need to know if the photographers, caterers, toasters are ready, etc. According to Brooke, our DJ did all the introductions and toasts properly, Brooke was just not happy with the handling of the later portion (cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss). Our DJ made every effort to be interactive, but it will never be as efficient as a with a coordinator, it's hard enough to wrangle that many people even with one :) . I'm know I'm sensitive because this is my business, but I think the review looks much more negative than the actual experience was. We provided an excellent ceremony musician, and our DJ handled her business as expected, was on time, friendly, played the right music, people danced, all confirmed by Brooke. Our DJ even went overtime, unpaid (and didn't even tell me until I brought this review up), to play last song requests that were not on their list. I have never had even close to a bad report about any of my contractors before this, so I certainly can't agree with any recommendation to pass on their services. They may not have the 20 years experience I do, but they have all been personally trained by me, and they cost hundreds less than myself :) . I am thankful for the business and we will improve from this experience.
