City Connection Entertainment

Sal Kuenzler approaches his business from the perspective of a discerning professional musician. As a jazz, rock, and classical guitarist himself—and the head of a highly respected entertainment company since 1984—Sal knows the music and entertainment industry inside and out. So when he books the entertainment for your wedding or special event, the music is guaranteed to be outstanding.

Sal is a master at customizing his entertainment selections to his clients’ personal tastes. “Often when couples come to me they’ve never had to plan an event before,” he says. “They don’t know exactly what they want and they’re not sure what questions to ask.” Fortunately for them, Sal is a great conversationalist who’s very adept at drawing out the information he needs to make the right match. A coordinator who has worked with him for years says, “He’s fabulous. Along with all his other abilities, he has a special talent for providing multicultural music. I’ve had several weddings that blended two really divergent cultures, and Sal handled them beautifully.”

“I handle a great number of talented, professional musicians and entertainers,” he says. “They’re all of the highest caliber, and love what they’re doing.” His musical groups are set groups familiar with one another, ensuring that they’re always in sync. In addition to live music, Sal can provide disc jockeys, stage, specialty and décor lighting and other acts for any type of event. Clients are able to view all this talent through video and online. An in-house coordinator also works closely with the bride and groom to plan in detail how the music or entertainment will be woven into their wedding. From start to finish Sal and his staff make sure that no stone goes unturned. He also has enormous confidence in his talent: “Every one of my entertainers has a long record of professionalism, some having toured with celebrity acts and recorded for film and TV. They’re willing to take initiative,” he promises, “so if something unexpected happens, they’ll handle the glitch the moment it arises.”

Sal not only represents the best talent, he also books any size event, be it an intimate get-together or a mammoth gala. He’s so well connected in the industry that when he handles corporate events he often brings in nationally recognized talent. Everyone who works with City Connection has nothing but praise for the company: “Sal is top of the line,” attests one very discriminating videographer. “He and his bands are first-rate—personable, talented, always on time and well-dressed.” Other industry professionals describe Sal as “an all-around wonderful man…flexible, honest—a guy who really listens to his clients.” A coordinator from one of Southern California’s best hotels even went so far as to state, “For me, he’s just about the only game in town.” Sal aims to surpass his clients’ expectations, and what does he get for all his efforts? “My biggest thrill is receiving a letter from a couple after their event, letting me know how important the entertainment was and the special memories they will have the rest of their lives.”
