Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 21, 2023•From Concord, CA
Bruce was professional, communicative and incredibly thoughtful. I reached out to him on a Thursday night, for an event Saturday. He sent me an exceptional song list and took the time to find out about the little details of the event and what we needed to make it an enjoyable experience. He showed up early, and his performance was wonderful. All our guests commented on how talented he was and how they loved the variety of music he played. He stayed later than expected at the request of our guests. He engaged with the little ones as well as the seniors, made everyone feel welcome, and brought a great sense of humor and laughter to all. Bruce will not disappoint!

Bruce is a true professional. His years of experience were clear in his pre-event communication and of course, his beautiful music .
We were so happy we chose Bruce for our wedding. He added zero stress to the event planning and his music made the ceremony a surreal experience. Thanks Bruce!

Bruce was the perfect touch we needed to take our birthday celebration from good to GREAT. He's a true professional - on time, communicative, and talented. Also, importantly, the music did not drown everything and everyone out. The music kept coming and the selections were perfect! He, also, kept an eye on the goings-on at the party so he knew when to pause. In other words, he was GREAT!
Thanks, Bruce, for adding that extra something to our celebration.

I'm so incredibly happy that Bruce played for my wedding ceremony at SF City Hall! He was great to work with and made the process very smooth. I was able to select the songs I wanted for him to play from his amazingly extensive song list and was even able to request a song for him to learn to play (thanks so much!) My guests loved him and was great to chat with. Loved that we had him be a part of our special day! Thanks Bruce :)

We hired Bruce to play at our San Francisco City Hall wedding ceremony. He was responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process. Additionally, he had a ton of experience playing SF City Hall (and was on SF City Hall preferred vendor list) so he already knew exactly when to arrive, where to be, and what to do on the day of the wedding. Most importantly, he played beautifully which helped set the tone for our wedding. Would absolutely recommend him for your City Hall ceremony and other events!

Bruce played at our triple birthday celebration - my son's first birthday, as well as mine and my husband's birthdays. He was so easy to plan logistics with, was reliable, and a great performer. Our guests loved his music and the ambiance he helped provide. We are grateful he was available and for his kindness. Thank you Bruce!

We hired Bruce as our guitarist for our City Hall wedding in San Francisco and were completely blown away by his talent and professionalism. Admittedly, we had pretty nontraditional requests when it came to our processional and recessional music but Bruce was willing to accommodate all of our requests without batting an eye. He was extremely communicative and friendly over email. On the day of, he showed up early, played beautiful music and was a wonderful addition to our ceremony. I would strongly recommend Bruce and would absolutely hire him for my next event! Thanks again, Bruce!

Bruce was amazing! We hired him for our wedding at San Francisco City Hall. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is so accommodating and made sure we were 100% happy with what he was playing. He made sure to ask us what we wanted him to wear, was on time, professional, and a great communicator leading up to the big day. I would recommend him ten times over to anyone looking for a guitarist. Thank you so much Bruce!

We were delighted to have Bruce at our ceremony. He really helped set the romantic ambiance we were hoping for by hiring a muscian. Our guests provided great feedback as well and loved his kind, personable spirit! He learned a new song upon my fiancé’s request and it was beautiful. We loved hearing it echo throughout city hall. He is extremely talented and I recommend him to all. Thank you Bruce!

My birthday party it’s 17 people was planned to be in Placerville area but we had to change to Walnut Creek the very last second. Bruce was so flexible to this change. What an amazing musician and a person! Everyone was really impressed. Bruce’s soft and romantic play added so much to the cocktail hour classy atmosphere. I can tell that he is versatile and can adjust to anyone’s needs. My friends (17 people) all asked for his business card. Thank you Bruce! Hope to see you in more of our parties! Too bad I did not know about you before. Thank to Bash I get to know you and your wonderful performance. Love how you sing too!!!

Bruce was such a sweet person to work with. He has so many songs to choose from and is very flexible on learning new ones! He is so accomodating and knowledgeable about so many things. My wedding was in City Hall and he gave people in our group a bit of knowledge when it came to the building itself. I am so glad I booked him for my big day. He was such a joy to work with.

Bruce Brill is an absolute gem as both a performer and a person. He was extremely receptive to our thoughts and suggestions about the types and styles of sings he performed and did an amazing job playing a wide array of genres. His positivity and good nature made him a joy to work with, and his musicianship was excellent. He read the room like a pro and helped created the exact ambiance for our reception. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an experience professional to add to their event. Top marks!

Bruce is a talented and flexible musician. Great (and prompt!) communicator, super flexible, asks all the right questions to set expectations. Our party was so special, something you just don’t get with CD playlists or loud DJ’s. Bruce was the perfect background accompany to our 35 person backyard event. I would def hire him again (several attendees requested his contact info.)

Bruce was incredible. He was so accommodating and understanding to my personal wishes for live ceremony music. I hoped that he would collaborate with my brother-in-law who would sing some very unique songs for our wedding ceremony and Bruce went above and beyond to make sure it went seamlessly- prepping with my BIL separately and even rehearsing before the actual event was more than I expected. On top of that, we had to discuss big changes due to COVID-19 but Bruce didn't even fret. Thank you SO MUCH Bruce for your professionalism, your dedication, reassurance, calmness, and your talent! I hope to see you at one of your gigs!
