"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 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! "

"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.

"Leonel arrived on time, set-up quickly and we actually had time to chat with him before the party. This was a magnificent occasion for us celebrating with family and friends our Mom's 101st birthday! He played beautifully - anticipated all of "the festivities" and was an amazing guest! Everyone was asking where we found him - GigMasters did a great job in representing Leonel's talent. He is such a warm and gracious person - I would definitely book him for another event. Excellent performance and presentation. Bravo!"

"What a special treat to have Leo play for my mother's party. He was professional, arrived 25 minutes early, dressed neatly, TALENTED and added just the right element of entertainment for my guests! And to top it all off he's HANDSOME! Unfortunately, ladies, he is married. We asked. He even gave the birthday girl a cd of music to bring home.
Best wishes to you Leo, I hope you will be available for our next party.

"Leonel Lorador was a wonderful addition to our wedding cocktail hour. So many of my guests commented to me afterward how beautiful his music was and what a "romantic feel" his playing brought to the wedding. We are also grateful Leonel he could be there to add more Portuguese style to the party with his guitar ;). He was so talented, personable, and professional- I highly recommend him. "

"Perfection would be the key word to describe Mr. Lorador. We hired him to play some flamenco guitar at the cocktail hour during my son's wedding reception and he was fabulous. Hiring him was a surprise gift to my son and his wife. They said when they originally entered the room that he sounded so clear and crisp they thought it was the DJ playing a recording. His set up was fabulous and the way he seemed to react to people walking by and watching was very professional. He is a very talented at playing the guitar and you can easily tell his talent comes from the heart and soul. I would not hesitate to hire him again and/or refer him to anyone. Truly talented."
