• Tavi is a wonderful musician, a genuine professional and a really nice guy! Tavi in incredibly communicative. He sent numerous emails with song suggestions. On the day Tavi was early, well dressed and charming. Our guests noted how nice the music was on many occasions. Thanks Tavi! -- Evan R, Palm Springs, CA, 5/5/2012
• Awesome guitar solos for our wedding! The only music for the entire wedding was performed by Tavi and he nailed it. The guitar solos were the perfect romantic music for our intimate ceremony. We selected some songs that Tavi knew and also wanted him to play "And I Love Her" by the Beatles which he needed to learn. It was played during some poems readings and it was beautiful. Our wedding was in Northern California so he had to commute from Southern California. He was on time and professionally dressed. Working with him prior to the ceremony was via email and he was very responsive. Would definitely hire him again! -- Pat J, San Jose, CA, 5/14/2011

I first heard him play for the reception of a friend of mine, and as a result knew that I'd like him to perform for my wedding reception as well. His technique is superb, as well as his choice of music. Tavi is unobtrusive and contributes greatly to creating a beautiful atmosphere. He responds quickly to emails/communication. I knew that we would be in good hands and we were! -- Tanya T, Sun Valley, CA, 1/8/2011
• Our event--a church Christmas dinner--invovled a number of different musical needs. Tavi was extremely flexible in working with our in-house musicians. His playing was consistently excellent on concert pieces, soloist accompaniment, and corporate carols. Not knowing Tavi previously, I wasn't sure what someone with so much talent would be like. Just a few mintues of discussion after the concert revealed great character, a love for his craft and a genuine desire to bless our people. Wow. Tavi was worth every penny. He made our night richer and more special. I heartily recommend him as both musically-accomplished and the epitome of humility and grace. -- Jeff H, Santa Clarita, CA, 12/5/2010

He knew instantly what we liked and we were blown away by his performance on our wedding day.
