Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on October 30, 2021•From Washingtonville, NY

Kurt was OUTSTANDING. He was a pleasure to work with. He played all the songs we requested. My guests are still talking about how great he was! He was an asset to our cocktail hour. HIRE HIM!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 10, 2021•From Philadelphia, PA

We hired Kurt for our wedding in 2020. We all know how that went. He was so accommodating with pushing it to another date. He was quick to respond whenever I reached out. He was there on time and ready to go when the event was starting. And everyone loved the music he played it added such a nice touch to our event. He started off a little softer and as the event filled in he picked up the energy. He could read the room and it never felt overwhelming. I would recommend him to anyone in need of music that just sets a vibe.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 10, 2021•From Red Bank, NJ

Kurt was the highlight of our special day. He absolutely crushed it and although a day time luncheon wedding, the vibe was upbeat and we are still hearing praises of how good the music was. We will certainly work with Kurt again for any event where we need a live musician. Thanks Kurt !

Kurt is professional, great friendly demeanor and most importantly very talented. Music was perfect in volume, song choice- vocals and guitar 10/10 recommend!!!! Can’t wait to hire him for our next party

Wedding•Reviewed on September 8, 2021•From Sea Cliff, NY

Kurt was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. He played at our backyard wedding, and every single guest came up to us and said how great the music was. He played a variety of songs to mix it up, and when we contacted him before the wedding about learning a new song he was 100% willing to learn it. He showed up on time, appropriately dressed, and was so pleasant to work with. I cannot stress enough how great he was- we can’t wait to have another reason to book Kurt!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on September 20, 2021•From Cold Spring, NY

We were so pleased to have Kurt perform at our cocktail hour! He was easy to hire - he provides a ton of videos, sound clips, and set lists on his website and here on the Bash which made it very easy to hear how talented he was before we hired him. He was very communicative ahead of time, patient with my long, detailed emails. He also graciously stayed an extra 15 minutes when our cocktail hour ran over, and even coordinated our entrance song as husband and wife (and offered to play our first dance song if we wanted him to)! I would 100% recommend him for your event and would definitely hire him again if we needed a guitar/singer in the future!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 25, 2021•From Hudson, NY

Kurt was beyond amazing. He was extremely professional and a joy to work with. He was very helpful in the planning process and recommended amazing songs based on our musical preferences. He went above and beyond by agreeing to learn an extra song when I told him it meant a lot to me and my late mother. His talent is extraordinary and I will remember it forever! Book him now!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 22, 2021•From Huntington Station, NY

This is the second time I brought Kurt in to play guitar at a special event we had. He did not disappoint. Kurt is an excellent musician with a wide range of musical styles, his voice is great, his guitar playing more than professional, and he is one of the nicest most accommodating people I have ever worked with. During large outdoor events, the music often gets lost in the background, but that was not the case here. While quiet enough to allow guests to concentrate on each other, the music was strong enough that many of our guests commented on the quality of then performance. I cannot recommend him highly enough - Kurt is fantastic!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 13, 2021•From Farmington, CT

We had Kurt perform for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance. He was amazing from start to finish! Many of our friends and family commented on how great he was. We had several special requests for specific songs and Kurt gladly learned them for us. You wouldn't be able to tell he just learned them, they were all amazing! Kurt was also very professional and personable throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend hiring him for any event!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on July 25, 2021•From Skytop, PA

Celebration•Reviewed on July 18, 2021•From Smithtown, NY

Kurt is an excellent musician. My friends and family really enjoyed his music. He played and learned a new song for us on request. We loved it! We were so happy to have him be apart of our special day. I would love him to play for us again one day. So much fun! Highly recommend!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 29, 2021•From Allamuchy, NJ

Kurt was amazing. He was a joy to work with picking songs-he actually learned the father/daughter dance for me. He went above and beyond. There are no words to describe his voice. My guests are still raving about it; he was wonderful. I can't recommend Kurt enough. I will use him again

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 21, 2021•From New Rochelle, NY

Kurt was amazing, made my husband’s 40th. Everyone loved the music. The caterers even asked for his info to refer him to clients! Amazing vocals and playlist. I’d work with Kurt again for sure.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 15, 2021•From Calverton, NY

I didn’t want just regular music playing at my wedding ceremony so I hired Kurt. He is extremely talented. He played my songs of choice for my wedding ceremony and my entire cocktail hour. Even learned a few songs for me that he didn’t originally have on his set list of songs. I got so many compliments on him. One of my guests even thought that he was the radio playing!!!! I had to go bring her to where he was set up and prove it was really someone singing and playing guitar??!!!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on September 14, 2020•From Ridgefield, CT

Kurt did such a beautiful job at our wedding. He took my special request list and performed them perfectly!! He also was very flexible and accommodating with our change in plans due to covid

Wedding•Reviewed on August 3, 2020•From Stillwater, NJ

Kurt played a beach wedding for my daughter. He was on time, well dressed and fully prepared. It had been a pleasure dealing with him throughout. It was when he began to play and sing however, that we realized what an incredibly talented musician and singer he is. We thoroughly enjoyed everything he did. Although his audio online was good it does not even come close to his actual talent. I look forward to being able to hire Kurt for another party! Highly recommend!!
