Sets in the City by Rafael Unplugged

Rafael was amazing!!! Definitely recommend. He was fun and lively. He put on an incredible performance. He was punctual and kind. I would love to book him for every event! I highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed

Rafael was amazing! He was one less thing for me to worry about for my event. He was professional, communicative, and forward thinking. Arrived on time, found his own spot to set up for our backyard party, and started playing immediately. He brought a female vocalist who had a lovely voice which complimented his so well. Beautiful singing for our event. Would highly recommend!

Rafael was the perfect addition to our thanksgiving magic at the San Jose Marriott. He was very flexible, willing to assist and help with sales and outreach! Looking forward to working with him in the future. Thank you for sharing your musical talents with us and our guests!

I only had to listen to a few of Rafael's videos to know that I wanted to book him for my 40th birthday this past weekend. I'm a huge fan of pop and R&B guitar covers, especially from the 90s and 2000s, and he was exactly this! Before the party, Rafael was very easy to work with and was extra communicative from start to finish. Then the day of the party, he came early and played amazing sets. We received many compliments from our guests. The cherry on top was that he doubled as an emcee at points and even joined us for a few rounds of shots at the end of the night! I would absolutely rehire Rafael for another party. Highly recommend!

Had nothing but a smooth experience working with Rafael. He was communicative and exceeded all expectations. He is also talented and a kind individual who was willing to work with my specific circumstances for a surprise proposal. Don’t hesitate to book him for your event needs!

I had booked/paid Rafael several months in advance for an event with me and then 2 weeks before the event he let me know that he booked another larger gig so he would not be making my event. I will give him credit for finding a replacement for himself who was fantastic (although he did not involve me in any of the decision making; he just told me what he had decided for me).

Great positive feedbank from staff & attendees.
One comment was "Rafeal is a keeper".

Rafael was great to work with. From the start, he was professional, thorough, and ensured everything ran smoothly. His energy and talent as a singing guitarist really added to our corporate event, creating a memorable atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. Rafael's positive vibe and musical skills helped set the right tone for the day. I’m so glad we had him on site—he truly contributed to the event’s success!

Rafael made our party extra-special! He did a great job handling the music, announcements, and entertaining our group. Recommended.

Thank you for making our event great. The music was perfect for our Summer Social. It was a pleasure working with you.

On time and exactly what I was looking for. Guests enjoyed and made our event a lot of fun.
Received many complements on Rafael’s performance. Would hire Rafael again.

Raf is like a library of songs! You name a song, and guarantee he can play it. We were throwing requests here and there, and he just jammed, to his own version, and sometimes his version was better than the original.

Rafael is a one stop shop for all things, but if he DOESN'T have what you need, he will find it for you! Great energy and super reliable.

Rafael did a fantastic job at our event. He arrived on time, had a robust professional set up, and was amazing on the mic. I highly recommend Rafael for your next event!!

Working with Rafael was so easy and fantastic. He is professional and can read the room perfectly - he adapted to our audience quickly and ensured everyone was having a good time. Rafael is a true artist and hands down, our organization will be working with him again at other events.

What are you waiting for? Book him already, you'll be glad you did.

Rafael is a very gifted musician and knows how to work a crowd, he comes fully equipped and ready to play. Punctual and very accommodating. Great vocal range as well.

Rafael did awesome at our wedding and made our event very special. He was great to work with, played beautiful music, and kept everything flowing through the whole event. Thank you so much for such for helping us make our day very special.

Rafael was great! He hosted and played music at our party. Highly recommend.

Rafael is one of the most gifted acoustic guitarists on this platform. Everyone at our event really enjoyed the paradise-themed music, playing a little bit of Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and other great acoustic-electric played songs. Was very engaging with our audience and is a very cool individual. He is a terrific artist and I highly recommend!

Rafael was an absolute professional in his craft. He ensured all needed tasks were completed and remained on schedule. A complete pleasure to work with and we look forward to hiring him many many more times in the future. If you are looking for QUALITY SERVICE, Rafael is who you are looking for.

Provided the best vibes for our wedding-we couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommend

Apologies if you see this review twice, but honestly Rafael’s worth it. He played at our fun, fundraising event, and the continuous comments were how amazing he was. The music was perfect and exactly what we had requested. Rafael has a beautiful voice and a talent for playing the guitar. We can’t wait to host another event so that we can invite him to play highly recommended. Very professional, on time, and a super nice guy.

Great musician!

Rafael and company were great. Rafael was ultra responsibe and really friendly and professional. Answered questions as needed and was always available to answer more questions. His set up was great and so was his team. I would definitely book for a company function and a personal party as well

Talented, soulful, musician with a gregarious personality! Rafael exceeded our expectations!! Positive vibes radiated from his performance!! Rafael made our event truly special from the the first strum to the the finale! Can’t go wrong!!! Planning another party . . . Just to appreciate his performance again! Thank you, good sir! Cheers!!
