Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on November 14, 2016•From Lancaster, PA
Stephen was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! He was prompt and detailed in his communication and very professional throughout. During planning, Stephen explained his approach to song selection, cited examples from previous events, and then offered a variety of suggestions/ideas for us to draw on in making our decisions. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and we were absolutely thrilled with the music. We didn't get to spend much time at the cocktail hour (due to pictures), but more than a few of our guests came up to compliment us on the music after the fact. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Stephen for your next event!

Stephen was great to work with - responded quickly to correspondence prior to the event, arrived on time, and is incredibly talented! We would highly recommend Stephen, and plan to work with him again in the future.

Steve was wonderful. We had quite a few special requests for our ceremony and he made every single on of them happen, from our music selections to leading us in a hymn. He even recorded one of the songs for us ahead of time so that we could hear what it would sound like on the day of. I was so pleased by his kindness, talent, and the the beautiful music that helped to make our day so special.

I had a great experience with Stephen from start to finish. He responded quickly to my inquiry, gave me a reasonable quote, and included a singer as well. The performance was outstanding, and it brought my wife to tears. I highly recommend Stephen.

We hired Stephen to play at our wedding ceremony this past Friday. He had no problem playing a few unusual song requests that are not a part of a normal wedding repertoire. He arrived very early and handled getting all set up on his own - even finding electric from the venue. Then when it appeared that it was going to rain, he moved his entire setup to the back up indoor location without complaint. I highly recommend Steve for whatever event you are planning; his rate is extremely reasonable and he will not disappoint!
Wine Tasting Party•Reviewed on November 19, 2015•From Lederach, PA
Stephen was a joy to communicate and work with, a true professional. And, best of all, our guests loved him and the music he played! Our venue was a grape harvest party. We asked Stephen if he could play Italian music reminiscent of the movie 'A Walk in the Clouds' while our guests took a break from grape harvesting to enjoy lunch. He did that and so much more. Stephen is an excellent musician, very accomplished on the instruments he plays.
Be assured that you will be delighted with this fine musician.

Mr. Kleiman was wonderful to work with. He was punctual, professional, and most definitely pleasant. He not only crafted the perfect sets for our event but performed them beautifully. Our members not only enjoyed his music, but his interactions with them as well. Very talented and I would hire again.

Stephen Kleiman was outstanding. He is clearly very talented. He was polite from the first contact and promptly answered all of our questions. He showed up and was prepared in advance of our wedding ceremony. He seemed to understand that the ceremony was not about him as much as the bride and groom. He came in quietly, played the music we requested (very well, by the way), quickly introduced himself to me after the ceremony as we were taking pictures, and quietly packed his equipment before he left. I would definitely recommend him to friends and acquaintances for weddings and other events.

Stephen is an amazing musician, highly professional, incredibly flexible, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. My wife and I hired Stephen and a guitarist he brought in at our request to play Italian-style mandolin and guitar for our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at a State Park in Delaware County. Everyone loved it! On a stressful day Stephen provided relief not only through his beautiful mandolin playing, but through his flexibility and professionalism. He knew exactly what to play and where to be and was able to play at multiple locations with minimal set-up (without electrical hook up). Would hire him for longer if I could do over!

Our wedding was 1.5-2 hours away from the Philadelphia area and Stephen did not hesitate to make the drive. He arrived plenty early to set up, played beautifully, and added the perfect touch to our event with his mandolin abilities. We specially asked for 2 songs to be learned and Stephen did a wonderful job with both of them (Find a River by Lowell George and Chemicals Collide by Cloud Cult). Communication before the event was great - he was always quick to reply and very easy to work with. My husband and I would recommend Stephen to anyone.
Thank you, Stephen, for sharing your incredible talent with us!
