Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 26, 2018•From Odessa, DE

Jim is an absolute wonderful entertainer. Great piano player. Great singer. Great personality. He has the talent of adjusting his songs to the audience at hand. He entertained at my step sons 18th birthday party keeping a wide range of guests between age 7 to age 90 entertained. I highly recommend Jim!

Jim did a great job at our corporate Garden Party. The right combination of musical selection for the guests. I would recommend Jim to add a wonderful dimension to any event!

High School Reunion•Reviewed on September 7, 2014•From Paoli, PA

I thought Jim did a fine job. Unfortunately he was playing to a group celebrating their 55th high school reunion and they were more interested in talking to each other than watching or listening to Jim. A couple people took advantage of the lively music and got up on the dance floor. Jim did his best to elicit enthusiasm. He has talent and a professional attitude.

Wedding•Reviewed on March 16, 2014•From Philadelphia, PA

Jim was great at our wedding. He was early enough to play for guests as they arrived, and when the video we wanted to play didn't have any sound, he was able to improvise some music that lined up just about perfectly.

Nice guy and great music! Perfect for the crowd!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 9, 2012•From Hershey, PA

Jim was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. Being an out-of-town bride-to-be I was VERY nervous about hiring a musician sight (and sound) unseen. Jim was professional and timely with email communication, and as his personality came out and I began to see that he would really be the enjoyable talent that we were looking for. Jim had taken the time to learn our First Dance Song and Mother/Son Song (we thought we would have to use the iPod). He was also very easy going and seamlessly went along with the flow as people made impromptu speeches, meal plans changed, and one of the toddlers requested the ABCs. Recommend for any event :)

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 20, 2012•From Philadelphia, PA

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 29, 2011•From Philadelphia, PA

Had Jim entertain on Friday Dec. 23, 2011 and he was fabulous. Everyone at the party just loved him. He was nicely dressed, very personable and extremely talented. Would use Jim again in a minute. He is an absolute asset to any party or gathering. Eileen Fox

Engagement Party•Reviewed on August 8, 2011•From Camp Hill, PA

Jim was fabulous. He was on time & very professional. His song list is extensive and he was able to contour his list to our requests. Everyone at the party raved about him. We all had a great time and sang our little hearts out. I highly recommend Jim if you want to have a great time with a wonderful entertainer. Thank you Jim for making our party a great success!!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 11, 2010•From Cherry Hill, NJ

Jim was great and added so much to our dad's 90th birthday celebration. He went with the flow and did whatever we asked him to do. Jim was very professional and certainly has talent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 5, 2009•From Atlantic City, NJ

We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Jim at our wedding! He performed on his keyboard for our ceremony and on the hotel's grand piano for our reception. Without seeming to do so, Jim made sure the events of our reception flowed smoothly and occurred on time. He was a wonderful emcee, too! Jim took many requests and even learned two new songs just for our wedding, one in just one week (he's truly talented to have played it so perfectly with such short notice!) In short, hire Jim and you'll get a polished, accommodating professional with a great voice, great talent, and great personality. We received so many compliments on Jim's playing - you will, too!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 12, 2009•From Downingtown, PA

Jim and his music "made" the party for our Mom's 90th birthday! He was very flexible, needed due to my inexperience in engaging live entertainment for a party. We couldn't have been more pleased and highly recommend him. He also made prompt email contact after I accepted his bid and kept in touch up to the party date; I appreciated that attentiveness. A shout-out to Gigmasters as well, because I doubt I would have found Jim without the site. (What a great use of technology!)

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 18, 2009•From Margate City, NJ

We were delighted with Jim from the moment he arrived in a stars and stripes tie to play for my dad (a retired col in the army) 90ith birthday party. We had 40 people dancing and singing along with Jim and he was amazing! Jim connected all the generations with music and song and everyone had a great time. Jim's vocals were wonderful and he didn't mind letting the great-grandchildren entertain along with him. I hope we can have another event and use Jim's talents again.

Christening•Reviewed on December 20, 2008•From Jenkintown, PA

This was an adult Christmas Party. He arrived on time, was very professional and did a great job. I would hire him again, no questions asked.

Review by Bonnie C.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 12, 2008•From Kennett Square, PA

I would recommend Jim Laurie to anyone. We needed background music for our son's rehearsal dinner and he was just what we wanted. Jim always answered my e-mails promptly, showed up early in a tux, presented himself very professionally, and played appropriate songs. He made our evening very delightful.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 10, 2007•From Blue Bell, PA

I was asked to organize a holiday luncheon for our company and searched the Gigmasters site for live entertainment. I viewed Jim's video on the website and thought he would be a good fit. Jim was very accommodating and entertaining and certainly added that extra touch to help make our event a success. Because of Jim's professionalism and flexability to accommodate the needs of his clients, I would highly recommend Jim for anyone's entertainment needs.
