Scott Samuels Reviews

Everyone at our party was impressed with Scott's performance. He is an excellent guitarist and performer.

Scott Samuels was such a great choice for our wedding. He kept us informed during the wedding planning process and made us feel very comfortable about chosing him. He was punctual, friendly, and extremely talented! He is a natural. We didn't have to worry about his performance, we knew he would be great and all of the guest compliments supported our confidence in him.

Excellent! Scott is the best. He played accoustic music for our wedding ceremony and then did some of what he does best for the cocktail hour. He took requests and was very flexible and professional. I only regret that we missed part of his performance because we were out taking pictures! Lots of our friends even made a point of telling us how awesome Scott was. Dan & Tracy Betz

Scott is a wonderful musician and provided us with exactly the kind of music and atmosphere we wanted to create for our wedding reception. More than one of our guests approached us during the course of the event and asked, "Where did you get this guy? He is terrific!". When I told them I found him on the internet their mouths dropped open in disbelief! We caught many people singing along with Scott and tapping their feet to the music. Even the children enjoyed themselves. Our wedding reception was a great success and Scott was a big part of it!! We highly recommend him! Thanks again!! Larry and Wendy

Scott was absolutely wonderful in every respect. He traveled all the way to Princeton, NJ from NYC at no cost. He was extremely easy to work with and made me feel at ease at a time when things were getting a little hectic before my wedding. His range in music is amazing and played the perfect mix. His selections for the ceremony were beautiful. Everyone at my wedding was so impressed by him and people were disappointed he was only there until the end of the cocktail hour. I just wish we weren't taking pictures during cocktail hour so we could have heard him play more. I would recommend him to anyone for any occasion.

Mr. Samuels was a wonderful addition to our event. My guests were raving about him and I think several spoke with him about their own parties. He arrived on time. His music was wonderful. I would highly recommend Mr. Samuels.

Scott was a wonderful addition to our wedding. He was very open to all our ideas and even came outside to play while we were having pictures taken. It greatly helped with keeping a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks Scott !

Scott was wonderful. He contacted me several times before the event to ask about specific requests, "dress code", etc. I was totally pleased as was everyone who attended the event.

I was asked by my brother-in-law to look into getting entertainment for a surprise 40th Birthday Dinner for my sister. However, this was much more than a birthday celebration it was a celebration of her life. My sister is a lung cancer surviver and my brother-in-law thought that a keyboard player would be a nice addition to this elegant surprise dinner. So I started my search. As I was reveiwing potential entertainers (keyboardist)in my search Scott Samuels Guitarist/Vocalist appeared. After seeing what great reviews he had and then looking at the variety of music he was able to play I knew that he would fit into this celebration perfectly. All that I can say is he was amazing! He knew when the music should be low key and when to kick it up. My sister loved him, as well as, everyone else! The guests including my sister helped out by even singing a few tunes! He was open for requests and so easy to work with. I know that we will be using him again. Scott, thank you so much for helping to complete my sister's birthday. Jill P. Lodi, NJ

many of our business colleagues want him for their next event. He was very good. thanks for a great time at my fiance's bday.

Scott gave an amazing performance! Everything was perfect! The job was everything I had hoped for and more. I contacted Scott to help me out with proposing to my girlfriend. I asked a lot of Scott to pull off this proposal and he played his part, (and his guitar) perfectly! On the last day of our vacation, my girlfriend and I went for a sunset walk on the beach, on the Gulf of Mexico. As we were walking, we happened upon an individual singing and playing an acoustic guitar. The individual sounded great, and we stopped and listened for a moment. After finishing a song, I asked the musician if he minded if we stood and listened for a minute. The musician turned and replied, "of course not, lay down your towels and sit for awhile." We stayed and listened to him play a beautiful, romantic song. I found a passerby to snap a photo of my girlfriend and I in front of the sunset, and while posing for the photo, I got down on my knee and asked my now fiance to marry me. She said yes, and I turned to the man playing the guitar and asked if he could "play us something special." The musician was of course Scott, and he then played "our song". It was after he started singing our special song that my fiance realized that this was no stranger, and in fact the musician was there to play a sunset serenade on the beach for the two of us. Scott was able to learn our requested song, meet us on the beach 1200 miles from New York, and play along with my plan until the right moment. All of this, without ever meeting me face to face. It was the perfect combination of planning and professionalism. Scott sounded amazing. The entire performance was perfect, and better than I could have hoped for. I look forward to calling Scott again to play at our upcoming wedding.

Scott Samuels is a TEN! Every aspect of my relationship with him from the get go was absolutely absolute. He's a gentleman as well as a very talented musician. Our wine tasting was fantastic due in part to his presence. I will definitely revert back to gigmasters when the need arises. Thank you.

We contacted 3 potential performers and Scott was the first to call us back. He was not only prompt, but thorough in addressing all of the potential needs we might have for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I never had a concern that Scott was unreliable and/or unprofessional – which was not necessarily the case with the others. Scott always called back within minutes and he anticipated our needs. Our wedding attendees commented that he had a lovely voice and that he did a nice job – we only wish we weren’t so busy taking wedding photos because we would have loved to hear more of the music! We appreciated your help in making our wedding such a memorable success!

Scott was not only very accommodating, but he also provided great advice to help me make choices. We were having a "non traditional" type of wedding and Scott took the time to understand the mood we were trying to achieve and to ensure that his role was appropriate for our wedding. He was a pleasure to interact with -- from his personable nature as well as his extensive knowledge of weddings. His music and voice were lovely! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scott for any type of event.

Mr. Samuels (Scott) was the consumate professional. He put me at ease, followed every detail, was on time (early even), and made my wedding special.

Scott did a great job! Everyone at the Christening celebration gave positive feedbacks. He has a vast repetoire of music and is very personable.

I thought it would be hard to find great talent for a two hour exhibit hall event in Jersey City. Scott exceeded my expectations on his service and performance. I appreciated Scott's attention to detail; he really wanted to make sure the set-up and sound would be appropriate for this training industry event. He is extremely talented. I knew he was a hit when attendees asked for special requests from his playlist. The audience was having so much fun, he stayed extra time to complete an encore performance. Thanks Scott for making our opening night event a success.

Scott was great! He was very accomodating and provided the perfect setting for my wedding.

Scott did such a great job at our party, we all enjoyed his skilled gutiar playing and he was willing to play songs at a drop of a hat. We even had a little of a blues jam sesson with him and my family and friends are still talking about how much fun thay had, I feel that scott had alot to do with the overall moon and vibe of the party. If you don't hire him for your next gathering you're really missing out. He has a wide range of music and I wish there were more words to discribe how great, nice, personal, talented and thoughtful he really is. Thanks for the music Steven & Christina

Scott really made my husband's birthday party a fun and unique event. I can't tell you how many people stopped me and said what a great musician he was. He interacted well with all the guests and encouraged requests--of which I believe he received quite a few by the end. In fact, he had so many at the end that he missed his cab because he didn't want to walk out in the middle of a song that everyone was obviously enjoying. From my perspective, Scott was very easy to work with and completely reliable. He was very responsive to all my questions and always confirmed the details of any conversations we had in the weeks prior to the party with a follow-up call or email. I would definitely book Scott again, and if what my guests were saying is true, he will be coming back down to DC in the future for a few more gigs.

Scott is definitely a great choice for accoustic music. He is not only an extremely talented guitarist, but a true professional. Scott has a wonderful personality and was very accomodating. He was able to exceed our expectations in providing a warm, relaxed and engaging atmosphere for our wedding reception.

Scott was awesome. He was very talented and had a large selection of songs. I highly recommend him.

Scott truly made the night fantastic! His professionalism, flexibility and talent truly made the evening a night to remember!

Everyone at the wedding thought he was great and wanted to know where we found him. His range of music was impressive. I would hire him again in a snap! His classical pieces were beautiful and his pop/rock selections were fantastic. Most people commented on how he was able to be so good at performing so many different types of music. A true talent and very personable and a pleasure to deal with.
