Feedback
- We hired Michael for a small corporate event to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month. He was very communicative beforehand while we were planning, showed up early to set up his equipment, and was accommodating of our song/volume requests. Michael was very professional, easy to work with, and of course -- he played wonderfully! His flamenco guitar playing was very impressive and took our event to the next level.
We are hoping to have him come back for a spring time event. I would definitely recommend Michael Edon to those planning events with a live music component. -- Anne J, Washington, DC, 9/27/2011
- FABULOUS! Michael has a very calm and relaxing demeanor. A true professional. I requested latin as well as jazz and he knew exactly what I wanted. Since he plays with recorded tracks, his sound is bigger than a one man show. I don't think it's possible for anyone to be disappointed. Book immediately. -- Clarita D, Glenelg, MD, 9/3/2011
- Michael was very accommodating especially since we chose very different music for our ceremony. He even sent me the MP3 to approve prior to our day. I was very happy with how everything turned out. My guests spoke very highly of his playing and said he set the mood quite well. The music he played was beautiful, I highly recommend him! -- Amy B, Chula Vista, CA, 4/2/2011
- Michael performed for our small wedding ceremony and reception. He arrived early and performed beautifully. The music was exactly what we wanted and could not have been better! I would definitely consider him for future events. Thank you, Michael!
-- Caryl H, Fredericksburg, VA, 10/1/2011
- one word...Great! Arrived with plenty on time to set up and start and the time arranged, his music was great, very pleasant appereance, everybody wanted more so I had him staying for another hour and at a very reasonable price. I am very pleased, got great comments from my friends and would definetively use his services again. -- Diana A, Chula Vista, CA, 4/2/2011
- This evaluation page should have one more circle entitled,"Beyond words", that is where all my marks would be. Michael's performance, repertoire and overall professional presentation and equipment was beyond expectation or hopes. What truly impressed me was how in touch with my guests he was. He knew when to jazz up a piece and when to tone it down to blend with the current atmosphere and allow my guest to enjoy normal conversation without having to shout over the music. Michael Edon is an extremely pleasant and an incredibly personable musician who, with the last stroke of his guitar will leave those in attendance begging for more...he certainly left us that way. -- Art B, San Diego, CA, 11/6/2010
- Very talented and entertaining, the party hated to see him go. -- Robert H, Bethesda, MD, 6/25/2011
- We could not have been happier with Michael and his music. It was just right for what we were looking for -nice background music to a party, without expectations of a "performance". Michael was flexible about moving from our indoor location to the outdoor patio. Guests were congratulatory about what they heard. -- Nancy G, Falls Church, VA, 10/15/2011
- Michael was excellent and the crowd loved having him there. -- Jason P, Silver Spring, MD, 6/11/2011
- Michael Edon was a great addition to our event. He is very talented and we definately look forward to working with him again in the future! -- Kristin L, Washington, DC, 9/15/2011
- Michael was awesome! The first thing i noticed when i walked into the room was how incredible his music sounded, it added the perfect atmosphere to our cocktail hour. He came dressed professionally and played the entire hour with no breaks. I highly recommend Michael for your next event. -- Steve K, San Diego, CA, 9/18/2010
- Mr. Edon did a phenominal job with our ceremony and reception music. From the beginning, my husband and I couldn't figure out our own song selections or First Dance song, so I asked Mr. Edon to help us out. He came up with the First Dance song and the entire music selection for the night all on his own. We had several compliments on the music and song choices, and the mood he set for the evening was perfect. I had also asked him to play to a song for my wedding march, and Mr. Edon created a one-of-a-kind piece that came out better than the original song, and now it will be timeless between my husband and I for years to come. -- Thai N, San Diego, CA, 8/21/2010
- Michael is an OUTSTANDING musician. This is the second time we have invited Mr. Edon to play at a backyard party and he's simply amazing. Michael arrived early and played beautiful music all evening. My guest really enjoyed the performace. Thank you, thank you, thank you. -- James & Shari C, Oceanside, CA, 10/1/2010
- Michael was able to accommodate our request on very short notice, he arrived with ample time to set up before our guests arrived and his musical selection was perfect for the setting. We'll definitely be hiring him for future events! -- Jessica C, San Diego, CA, 10/22/2010
- My husband and I hired Michael to play for our wedding ceremony. He was amazing!! Extremely professional, even showing up at the wedding rehearsal the night before to meet us and get queues from the minister. Michael's music before, during, and after our ceremony was beautiful and we would proudly recommend him for any event where you want the beautiful sounds of the Spanish guitar. Thank you Michael for making our day so special!!
