Corporate Function•Reviewed on September 18, 2022•From Hunter, NY
Working with the Bernstein Bard Trio was one of the easiest parts of our corporate retreat. Steve reached out right away to talk details, was responsive, and nailed down what we were looking for in the performance. We had issues on our side finding the right place for them to play at our venue but they were patient, accommodating and we got it sorted (love the battery-powered amps). They were exactly the right beautiful background music we were looking for as our C-suite level guests sat by a bonfire, and we'd definitely hire them again. They would also be fantastic as a main event and not background music, which I wish we could have done given their skill!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 9, 2018•From Westport, CT
Bernstein Bard Trio got it 100% perfect! They’re really nice fellows, too. BBT played at my father’s lovely daytime birthday party. I listened to over 50 bands, interviewed 5 or 6 before hiring BBT. Steve Bernstein is a positive careful listener, was nonplussed by my restrictions, and made it easy to quickly work out the details. They’re experienced, mature, intelligent, accommodating, and love what they do. They’re easy to work with and totally trustworthy. 20% of guests were hard of hearing, wanted to talk, so BBT kept volume low. For other 80%, they played upbeat happy tunes with strong rhythm and traditional bent (pre-R&B). Wonderful experience!
The Bernstein Bard Trio:
Hey Coneye, The pleasure was ours. What an amazing man your father is! You produced a beautiful tribute to a great man and it was an honor to be there. Thank you so much! All the best to you and your family, SteveReview by Claire N.
Wedding•Reviewed on July 29, 2017•From Kingston, NY
The trio played at our wedding in the Catskills - they were INCREDIBLE!!! Steve communicated really well before the wedding about the sound we were going for, the trio learned songs for the ceremony, and even gently prompted us to have a first dance (which we hadn't planned out at all), to the most beautiful rendition of Neil Young's Harvest Moon. These guys are professional, talented, and just have a wonderful energy. Hire them!
The Bernstein Bard Trio:
Hey Claire and Martin, Thanks for your kind words about our trio. It was a beautiful wedding on a gorgeous day in the Catskills, with such a warm and friendly group. Thanks for hiring us and for recommending us to future clients through Gig Masters. I wish for both of you many happy years of marriage. Best of luck! Warmly, Steve ps....for Maine oysters check out: http://www.gliddenpoint.com (:Awards & Badges
