• Patrick was wonderful! He was so professional and accomodating. Our event took place at a San Diego County Court House therefore his music required a certain level of tact and respect regarding the noise level... and Patrick was "right on!" He was a hit, he sounded fabulous and I received numerous positive comments from those who attended about his music/talent(and they asked for his business card to use him for their future events)! THANKS PAT...we will use you again in the near future! -- Tina T, San Diego, CA, 11/15/2007
• I hired Patrick for a birthday party and never once had any negative issues with him. He arrived early, introduced himself to me and my father, and set up. He played well, and over the course of the night and the following days I received many compliments on his music and the wonderful atmosphere it provided. It was perfect for our event, and would definitely hire him again. -- Deanna A, Chula Vista, CA, 6/14/2008
• Patrick was so easy to work with before our wedding ceremony. He made it clear that he enjoys performing at weddings. He did a great job at the wedding - we got many comments from our guests about Patrick - they all loved his music! I would hire him again for another event and recommend him to others. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job Patrick! -- Deanna B, San Diego, CA, 5/25/2008

• There was a 80% feedback from all of the guest commenting on how much they enjoyed Patrick and his music. He was very professional, prompt and talented. We weren't sure what kind of music to have for a couples shower but when he first started playing, we knew we made the right choice. We will definitely be booking him in the near future. -- Felissa B, San Diego, CA, 10/20/2007
• Patrick has been playing for our 2007 Summer Friday night parties at the Rancho Bernardo Inn and we have heard nothing but great comments from our resort guests and employees. Everybody loves his music. The music creates the perfect tropical feel we wanted to have for our Aloha Nights parties. I would 100% recommend Patrick to all of my friends. He is very flexible and easy to work with. The Rancho Bernardo Inn definitely wants to use him again in the future. -- Kristy B, San Diego, CA, 6/1/2007

• Patrick was great. He was on time and fully self contained, meaning he didn't need us for anything more than "where do I set up?" I highly recommend Patrick if you want that cool island sound for your event. He was also faced with a challenging community member issues which he handled with style and grace, which was much appreciated. Great job. -- Steve D, Solana Beach, CA, 6/16/2007
