"Words truly can not describe how amazing of an experience it was having Felipe sing for us. I hired him to sing while I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiance) on South Beach, Miami. We also worked out plans for him to have a picnic all set up for us and everything was incredible and beautiful and perfect! My girlfriend was completely surprised. The picnic was 5 stars and the professionalism and attention to detail that he and his wife showed was incredible! Felipe has an amazing voice. Listen to him sing his own song called "And I Love Her", and you will definitely agree. I highly recommend hiring Felipe for any special event and you will not be disappointed"
"Felipe was such a GIFT to us on our Wedding Day! The Groom & I very much wanted a relaxing, beautiful atmosphere to accompany our beachside ceremony. We also had a rather eclectic group of guests from all different age groups & all over the world. I mention this because of all of these all walks of life gathered, literally ALL of them loved Felipe just as much as we did. We each received compliments all night long about how Beautifully Talented he was, how Perfect his musical selections were & his Wonderful, Easy-Going personality was welcome & fit right in. His Voice & Guitar are both Rich & True. He even sent us an mp3 of our 1st Dance song to listen to as we wish!"
