"I had four people all having birthdays within a few days of each other including a 21st, 30th, 67th and 73rd. So how do you find a band that has the range of music appealing to guests from such a broad age range? Answer: Merlot Embargo. The entire band is quite talented and knows how to dial in their songs to get people up and dancing. During dinner... the music featured more mellow songs allowing people to talk without screaming over the music. They have such a great sense of their audience and playing music that appeals. Be sure to ask them to play a number of their original songs which are all great. The guests all complimented our choice of band and really appreciated the extra touch live music brings to an event. I will most certainly hire them again." Robert, Rancho Palos Verdes, Ca
"Merlot Embargo played at a Wine Tasting event at our private clubhouse. During the planning process, they were so helpful and really wanted to make sure they understood what we wanted. They asked about song selection, attire and more to make sure it suited the event and audience. The event itself went over wonderfully with our members - it's been a few weeks and people are still talking about it! They played for two hours straight (bless them!). Even though we had heard videos of Scarlet's voice online, it did not compare to how beautiful she sounds in person. And Geoff sure played a mean guitar! Thanks a million to this adorable duo for a night to remember." Erinn, Lake Forest, Ca
"Merlot Embargo crushed my boyfriend’s birthday party. They were professional, prepared and sounded incredible. Non stop compliments!! These performers are next level great! Thank you so much." Athena, Rolling Hills, CA
Now that we are finally settled back into normal post-wedding life, Du and I would like to say a big THANK YOU to you and the rest of the band members for helping make our wedding a success! The first dance song turned out better than we could've imagined! We received many compliments from our guests throughout the night. You guys were definitely one of the best parts of our wedding and we wish we had a chance to thank you in person. Good luck on your future career and endeavors :) Han, Yorba Linda
"Easy to book. Great people! You won’t be disappointed. Very professional." Damon, Pacific Pallisades, Ca
Merlot Embargo played a two-hour set in my backyard for about 35 people in celebration of my 50th. I chose them for their fun and diverse set list; they met the moment with energetic magic! Geoff was very professional and pleasant to coordinate with. Scarlett is lovely. Great people. Loved them, and so did my guests! Jennifer, Huntington Beach, Ca
