Acoustic Hill

Memorable

Working with Acoustic Hill was such a great choice for our wedding day. Michael was incredibly thoughtful about song selections from the ceremony through dinner, and his smooth vocals and strong guitar playing had our guests talking about the performance all night. He arrived early to set up his equipment and had clearly put thought into every detail leading up to the wedding—the communication was seamless from start to finish. Michael took requests from our guests and played our favorite songs, making the whole experience feel personal and nostalgic. His performance exceeded what we'd seen on his Instagram, and he truly made our day feel special in a way we weren't expecting. We'd recommend Acoustic Hill to anyone looking for live music that actually connects with their guests.

Polished and professional

We knew Acoustic Hill was the right choice after our first conversation with Michael. He was responsive to every question, respectful of our vision, and thorough in planning every detail. What really set him apart was how customized the experience felt—Michael didn't just play cocktail hour, he actually worked with the groom to teach him a song, then they performed it together at the end of cocktail hour while our guests and the bridge watched. It was such a special moment! Michael made it happen with professionalism and great communication through out. We can't recommend him enough for couples looking for a live musician that goes above and beyond.

We hired Michael to perform live music for our 5-year wedding anniversary dinner, and he helped make the evening feel incredibly special. Since we didn’t have a traditional wedding during COVID, this dinner was our chance to celebrate with close friends, and Michael’s live acoustic music created the perfect atmosphere. He was professional, easy to work with, and did an amazing job reading the room. The volume was perfect for an intimate restaurant setting, beautiful and entertaining, but still comfortable for conversation. He helped choose the right songs, performed our wedding song “All of Me,” and even roamed around the table playing for our guests up close. Several guests asked for his business card because they loved the music so much. I highly recommend Michael for anniversary dinners and private events!

We have hired Michael multiple times for our wine tasting events at Newport Harbor Yacht Club, and he is always a fantastic addition. He is professional, punctual, reliable, and flexible with event timing, which makes him very easy to work with. His live acoustic music overlooking the water created the perfect atmosphere for our guests. Michael performed wirelessly and roamed throughout the event, engaging with guests and vendors while keeping the music tasteful, polished, and fun. His large song repertoire, strong vocals, and excellent guitar playing make him a great choice for wine tastings, yacht club events, private parties, corporate events, and live event entertainment.

Michael performed live music for our luxury real estate showing in Dana Point, and he elevated the entire experience. He was punctual, professional, flexible with setup, and selected the perfect acoustic song list for an ocean-view sunset event. His wireless roaming performance made the music feel personal, polished, and engaging without overpowering the setting. Guests complimented the live guitar and vocals, took videos, and asked for his information for future events. I highly recommend Michael for luxury real estate showings, open houses, private events, corporate events, and upscale live entertainment. The Gaetano Lo Grande Real Estate Team
