Feedback
- Leo provided the most memorable and personable experience at our daughter's Christening. Leo is EXTREMELY talented and friendly; he felt like a member of our family providing music at our event. His selection in music is very tasteful and elegant. EVERYONE in my family raved about Leo and his playing. I will definitely call him to play at our next event. Thank you, Leo, for making our daughter's Christening extra special! You will hear from us in the near future! -- Angel G, Newark, NJ, 10/16/2011

- Leonel was amazing, it made our very special day beyond special, not only such a great and talented professional, but and amazing , supporting and understating soul! every guest couldn't believe how beautiful and talented this man is!
For those that are in the middle of a planning a wedding, this is "tha" guy, he was accommodating, and is something you can just take out of your to do list, because there is nothing you have to be worried about.
We will be always thankful for taking our wedding ceremony and part of the evening to another level!

- Leonel is not only a fabulously gifted musician, he was a pleasure to do business with. Very accomodating, and very gracious and very, very well received by our guests. -- Andrea Z, Rahway, NJ, 8/5/2010
- Leonel was hired to come and play at my dad's 70th birthday surprise party. What a treat it was! From the moment he walked in he was well prepared, professional and at the same time warm and personable. He played a wide variety of songs which were enjoyed by all. The restaurant staff and restaurant patrons enjoyed listening to his music so much, that they requested his business card. I would recommend him and will definitely contact him the next time I need a guitarist! -- Mylene T, Brooklyn, NY, 12/4/2010
- Every guest at our reception remarked how much they liked Leonel's performance. From the music at the ceremony that was absolutely beautiful (trust me, I will NEVER forget "Cinema Paradiso") to the music after-even when the sound system at Perona was fading in and out during our first dance, he was playing during the music to fill in. It was really nice. I would recommend Leonel to anyone who is looking for a great performer. I hope I have another occasion to hire him again.
