Tavi is highly professional, kind hearted, extremely talented and handsome! Every guest at our wedding was so impressed by his skill and presence. It was a no-brainer to hire Tavi. He was extremely accomodating when I had any special requests and upon the day of the wedding I got to see for myself that his technique and committment are astounding! Thank you Tavi for adding your beautiful touch to our ceremony.

We made a great choice hiring Tavi to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. First of all, his talent is off the charts, obviously, but he was also so professional and easy to work with. He even learned and played meaningful songs to us at our request (Bob Marley, for example).
We were planning our Malibu wedding from San Francisco and Tavi was an amazing vendor to work with even from a distance. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a spanish guitarist to play for our wedding ceremony. I had looked at several artists online and to say the least, Tavi well exceeded all expectations.
He was very generous with his time with us. He met with me on an earlier date just to demo some of his pieces and sent me lots of media to listen to. As a musician myself with several years of practice, I was still blown away at his talent and tastefulness. In addition, he was extremely versatile in his repertoire- he met all of our special requests (including popular music).
On our wedding day he arrived early and played beautifully. would recommend him to any and everyone!

I can't say enough about how pleased I was with Tavi. Tavi not only plays guitar beautfully and skillfully, but he is a warm, friendly and nice person. Our group very much enjoyed having his music accompany our dinner, and several remarked on how much they enjoyed Tavi's music and presence. I would highly, highly recommend booking Tavi, and would jump at the chance to book him again for another company function of ours.

We had BAILE play at our wedding ceremony and reception and I just have to say they exceeded my expectations by 400%! The music was so incredibly beautiful and touching, I cried when I walked down the aisle! This band is SO TALENTED and I would recommend them for anything! I am a person who loves unique songs AND song remakes. I had BAILE remake a few Yiruma, Sixpence None the Richer, Jason Mraz, Bruno Mars, & Tracy Chapman songs for my wedding day and I was absolutely in SHOCK on how beautiful everything sounded! The latin music was to die for and my guests and I were in awe half the night! GO BAILE! (This review is by Erica Jung)

Tavi was amazing! Even before he played at our Baby Shower, he was a delight to work with. Everyone who attended the party commented on how beautiful the music was. Tavi really enhanced the environment with his guitar playing. I would hire Tavi on any party i had in the future.

I couldn't have been happier with the music at my daughter's wedding. Tavi Jinariu, the lead guitarist, is an extremely talented musician in addition to being a very nice person and exceptionally professional. He arranged a version of "The Bridal Chorus," and "The Wedding March," with a Latin flair just as my daughter had requested. He also did some pop tunes that she wanted, also with a Latin flair. The music for the wedding could not have been more perfect!

I hired Tavi for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in June 2016. Tavi was absolutely wonderful to work with. He is extremely talented, accommodating, and listened to what I wanted from my ceremony and cocktail hour. My wedding planner even mentioned that he is the sweetest musician she has ever come across at a wedding (and she has been to hundreds!). His calm demeanor and confidence put me at ease and gave me confidence that he was exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day. My one regret: I didn't hire Tavi for long enough. I look forward to hiring Tavi in the future, my family and friends LOVED his music and the tone he set for our wedding.

We had the pleasure and honor of having Tavi play at our wedding. We extensively researched beforehand for an outstanding guitarist, coming through two independent venues to the same person: Tavi. He knocked it out of the park in every possible respect. His amazing skills are immediately apparent, but equally important, he goes beyond all expectations to make sure you can realize your vision. In our case, we asked him – a few days in advance! – to play a much broader program than originally stipulated, and he was simply phenomenal on the big night. Thank you Tavi.

All of our dealings with Tavi Jinariu from the moment we first contacted him about playing at our daughter's wedding through the final settlement were a perfect delight. He patiently worked with us in selecting the music, learned a new piece that we requested, and conducted himself with a calm and reassuring professionalism throughout. His playing was stunningly beautiful. From his reviews, we had expected a quality performance. We had not expected a talent reminiscent of Segovia, Bream, Parkening and Wiliams. Get this young artist while you still can before his calendar is filled with major concerts.
