Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 7, 2010•From San Diego, CA
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.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 11, 2012•From McLean, VA
This was a dinner party, celebrating a birthday, filled with people who had not seen each other in a long time. So, there was chatter and noise, not the ideal setting for a musician and artist.
BUT, Michael adjusted for the event, providing a lush and beautiful undercurrent to the activities. His song selection and performance complimented the evening, and gave it an air of sophistication and culture. His music added to the evening, and was much appreciated and enjoyed by the guest of honor and others.
I would definitely ask Michael to come back. In the planning stage he was responsive and helpful, showed up on time and gave us a stellar performance.
Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 20, 2012•From Rowland Heights, CA
I had a Spanish Themed Cocktail and Tapas party for my parent's 40th Wedding Anniversary. Michael Edon added the PERFECT FLARE to the party. There is nothing like good live music. He played every song guests were requesting and more. He brought such a great mood and had guests dancing under the stars. He brought Spanish guitar, Bossa Nova, Romance, culture, and even some very well suited well known tunes. People are still bringing up that party and asking who the music guy was. I HIGHLY recommend Michael Edon for any event.
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 22, 2010•From San Diego, CA
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.

Michael did a phenomenal job at my wedding cocktail hour. My guests were impressed with Michael's guitar playing. He was very professional and knew the right type of music to complement our special event. Thank you Michael and we look forward to having you play at our future special occasions.
Thanks,

We had Michael perform during our school fundraiser - during the silent auction / happy hour(s) portion. He was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Everybody commented on how much they enjoyed the music and how much it added to the ambiance. He was very professional, flexible, and arrived well in advance to set everything up. I would definitely recommend him!!!
Corporate Function•Reviewed on September 28, 2011•From Washington, DC
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.
Private Party•Reviewed on September 4, 2011•From Glenelg, MD
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.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 4, 2011•From Chula Vista, CA
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!

Private Party•Reviewed on September 16, 2012•From Odenton, MD
Mr. Edon performed at my book signing event. Mr. Edon accompanied me while I read my poetry, it turned into four (4) beautiful collaborations. It was a great pleasure meeting and working with him. I would rehire him and recommend him to any and everyone. My guests were very impressed and enjoyed the performance.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 16, 2011•From Falls Church, VA
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.
