Memorial Service•Reviewed on August 31, 2016•From San Mateo, CA
Christian is truly a professional. I booked him for my dad's memorial service on short notice. He reached out to me several times to listen to my requests and the best way to honor my dad. We felt fortunate to have such a highly qualified musician play at our reception. Several of our guests commented to us on his talent. I would highly recommend him to a friend in the future.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on May 31, 2015•From Berkeley, CA
I remember a comment from an older journeyman made many years ago. Learn everything you can about something you love to do, tell people what you can do, and then ... Do it. Christian must have heard the same old sage. He did it with grace, professionalism, and love.

Cocktail Party•Reviewed on July 29, 2014•From San Francisco, CA
Highly Recommended! My boyfriend & I hired Christian to play at our Spanish themed Cocktail Party. Aside from playing fantastic music, he was friendly, organized, & very easy to work with. He graciously fulfilled our set list requests which included classical, Spanish, & contemporary. Christian is very professional and was exactly what we wanted. Our guests loved listening to him play. We look forward to hiring him again. Thanks, Christian!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 4, 2014•From Mill Valley, CA
Christian was a pleasure to work with during our wedding preparations. He is conscientious and was accommodating working with us to select and prepare for the pieces we wanted played. He is an accomplished and talented musician. He was very responsive and available to discuss the plans via phone and email. I would highly recommend Christian for your event!

Celebration•Reviewed on August 17, 2026•From San Jose, CA
I booked Christian and was able to talk to him about the music type for the event. I was out of the US on the day of the event. Venue/Event owner called me to let me know Christian had not shown up at the convened time.
I was able to get ahold of Christian as we was arriving at the venue. He told me there had been "a lot of traffic."
:
This review is not an accurate reflection of my general professionalism. Yes it's true that I arrived late, however, I stayed extra time (30 minutes) to compensate for my late arrival playing until 9.30 pm instead of 9pm. Patricia's overall rating is inconsistent with my overall average of 4.5.
Patricia was not present during the event and I can't understand how she arrived at the conclusion of a poor rating of 3.0 for talent after I had received many compliments from the venue manager and guests as well.
Also, it's noteworthy to mention that Patricia was not punctual with the payment of the remaining balance which was due on 07/28/26 the day of the event. I finally received payment one week later on 08/04/26, and this delay is unacceptable especially after having sent her a payment link from The Bash before the event.
