Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 10, 2009•From San Diego, CA
Stephen Curto was first choice for our wedding reception entertainment. We only knew him through gigmasters online, and we
were NOT DISAPPOINTED with our selection. Stephen was professional,
accommodating, and very entertaining. His talented vocals and renditions of our favorite "request" songs helped underscore the
feeling of casual elegance we wanted for our big day. He even learned new material for our special dance. Thank you, Stephen, for a job well done!!! Diane and Walter Schreifels,

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 24, 2009•From San Pedro, CA
We hired Stephen based on other's reviews and could not have been more pleased. He phoned in advance, arrived early to set up, was courteous and friendly, had learned a new song upon request and sang it beautifully, and was extremely accommodating to the style of our party. Our neighbors who did not attend the party even complimented his music and voice the next day. Thank you, Stephen, for your professionalism, accommodations, and easy-going flexibility! It was truly a pleasure!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 11, 2009•From Irvine, CA
We were thrilled with Steve Curto. He arrived one hour before the party started to set up as discussed. The guests raved about his music. Our neighbor was too sick to come to the party but awake enough to ask her husband to make sure he get Steve's business card (as many others at the party asked for). He played an extra 20 minutes then planned and helped make the entire party a smashing success. We cannot wait to have an opportunity to use his services again. Bala & Renee

Steve did a great job and was very professional. He provide great entertainment on opening night at our coffee house. Played music from the 70's and 80's, which everyone enjoyed. Steve was also very personable. On his break he worked the room and met people. People were impressed. Thanks Steve for the great night. Hope to have you back sometime.

I had an incredible New Years Eve Bash thanks to Stephen. From the moment he arrived (plenty early enough to set up and wait for the first guests to arrive) till the time he left, he was gracious and acomodating! EVERY one of my guests ( of all ages) were impressed and gave me such great reviews! He rocked the house all night and even stayed over time!
Stephen is professional, dependable and talented! I would definitely use him for my future events and not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants a great sound!

Stephen was great! He made our evening very enjoyable. He played a fantastic selection of songs, & has a great voice. His full band arrangements with backing tracks & background vocals is unbelievable! Very professional, started exactly on time, & even learned the request for "our" song, Elvira. He was a big hit & will definitly be hired again.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 18, 2007•From Westlake Village, CA
Steve Curto is an amazing musician. His voice is silky and smooth. His presence and showmanship is top notch. He showed up on time, set up efficiently and was polite and courteous. He has an extensive set list that everyone really enjoyed. He played 4 hours at our event and we loved him so much, we extended him another hour. It was wonderful easy listening during the cocktail and dinner hours, but then when we wanted things to heat up, he was right there to accommodate us. We thoroughly recommend him as you will not be disappointed.
Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 3, 2010•From Huntington Beach, CA
Stephen checked in by phone a few days earlyl came early to a Christmas party of 65 people to set up. he played continuously throughout the party,,,,,, either as background or for requests (turned out to be mostly background0 and seemed to gauge the mood of gthe party very well. I had many favorablecomments from guests about his music and his talent. I would definitely recommend him. I thought the price was fair for the length of time he played, and would use him again.

Dinner Dance•Reviewed on May 29, 2009•From Pasadena, CA
Stephen volunteered to learn over half a dozen new songs (50's standards) for our event, a 50th wedding anniversary. My parents were delighted with his renditions. Guests danced 'til the end of the evening. At one point, my father insisted that his niece do an improvised vocal performance, and Stephen worked with her without rehearsal to perform yet another new song.
All the guests, but particularly my parents, were full of compliments for the music. My thanks for making it a wonderful evening for everyone.
Celebration•Reviewed on October 22, 2010•From Long Beach, CA
We recieved nothing but compliments on the performance Friday evening. Everyone enjoyed the music, it was perfect as dinner background and Stephen did a good job "reading" the crowd to play the appropriate music. He was also kind enough to allow us to use the microphone to make a few speeches during our special occassion. I would definately recommend Stephen to a friend or family member for their next event.
Thank you!
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 2, 2010•From Oak View, CA
Steve's presence at the birthday event enhanced the entire celebration. His selection of music and accompanying vocals was perfect. I was concerned that I would be unable to select music that would fit the occasion and I really did not want to add the duty to my to do list. Pre-party conversations with Steve resolved the "to do list" issues and I was relieved that he fully understood my concerns and assured me that his music program and selections would meet my expections. And it did. When you read Steve's professional bio on Gigmasters, believe me there is no exaggerations or hype.
