Milton Merlos

“My husband and I hired Milton for our October 2025 wedding in Lake Tahoe and he was absolutely fantastic to work with. I cannot say enough positive things about Milton. Milton’s passion for music really shines through in his work as he created such an exciting environment for ourselves and our guests.He provided our pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and at every point elevated the atmosphere. We were an adult only wedding and he was able to mesh music geared toward different age groups seamlessly. He was very easy to work with and very thorough when it came to our music wants and needs.”
