Wedding•Reviewed on October 26, 2026•From New York City, NY

Absolutely incredible! We are beyond grateful to have had such a talented singer, DJ, and MC be part of our wedding! His beautiful voice, amazing music, and incredible energy made our day unforgettable. He kept our guests engaged, the celebration flowing, and the dance floor alive! We especially appreciated his flexibility, patience, and willingness to accommodate every request. He truly went above and beyond to make our day feel personal and special. Professional, passionate, and exceptionally talented, he helped create memories we will cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend him and would love to work with him again for future celebrations!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on October 18, 2026•From Fairfield, CT

We loved working with Kurt! He came to our beachfront wedding welcome party, and he was a crowd pleaser. Played all the right songs, worked with us on a song list that matched our vibe & vision, and was so friendly! It was the perfect evening and we'd definitely recommend hiring Kurt for your upcoming events. We'd work with him again!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 3, 2026•From Nesconset, NY

I knew right away from listening to Kurt Borst’s demo songs that he was the one I wanted for my birthday party. His voice is so beautiful and he is very talented. He dresses professionally and reads the crowd and plays what is appropriate for the occasion. He was awesome. Booking him was very easy. He responds very quickly and is very helpful. And he is a genuinely nice person too ??

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 27, 2026•From Freeport, NY

Kurt was AMAZING!!! He made my husband’s 40th birthday party so much fun and truly made the night extra special. He went above and beyond to make everything work for me and was so easy to work with. He took requests all night and could literally play anything and everything! He read the room perfectly and always knew what to play next. Everyone kept asking who he was and saying they wanted to use him for future events! And on top of being so talented, he’s just a genuinely great guy—so personable, friendly, and fun. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 20, 2026•From Oceanside, NY

Kurt was absolutely amazing. We hired him to play at our wedding, which was at a small winery. Other than providing him with a few songs that we wanted him to play, we asked him to do what he does best, and he sure did. Many of the attendees (which included a few accomplished musicians) commented on his outstanding performance. If you are looking to add a special touch to your event, he is your guy. BRAVO!!!

Bridal Shower•Reviewed on July 4, 2026•From Staten Island, NY

I hired Kurt to sing and play guitar for my daughter’s bridal shower. The theme was “Love is Brewing,” and we wanted a cozy coffeehouse vibe, so I found Kurt online. He was absolutely amazing. Kurt is incredibly talented and plays guitar beautifully. He performed songs that all of our guests knew and loved, which really added to the atmosphere and made the entire event feel so special and interactive. So many guests came up to me during and after the shower to say how much they enjoyed his performance and even asked for his information because they want to book him for their own events.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 28, 2026•From Massapequa, NY

Kurt was very professional. He had great communication from before the booking up to the event. He played all of our requests and sounded great! This is the 3rd event that Kurt has done for our friend group. We will definitely be booking him again!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 13, 2025•From Coxsackie, NY

Kurt is incredible! Cannot recommend him enough. So professional, reasonable, and accommodating. He played live for our ceremony and cocktail hour and transitioned into DJ for the reception. Extremely talented musician and kept the dance floor packed all night.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 8, 2025•From New York City, NY

Owning and running my own small business in NYC - I pride myself on delivering nothing but a perfect customer experience - Kurt was all that and more. Not only was his professionalism and courtesy superb, but his guitar skills and superb tone of his voice a knock out - so thanks again mate for making our evening magnificent. Scotty

Kurt was great! He arrived earlier and sang for 3 hours and DJ’d for the last 2 hours of our event. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the event and he accommodated out requests for songs and was up on current music.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 7, 2025•From Jamesport, NY

Kurt was absolutely amazing start to finish. His ability to read the room and tailor music to the moment was actually perfect. I would absolutely hire him again for future events and recommend him across the board for anyone that is in need. Both the acoustic and DJ part were done perfectly. If you are looking for a great musician, please look no further and give him a call.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 6, 2025•From Hauppauge, NY

I hired Kurt through The Bash after getting a recommendation from a friend about his work. I’m so happy I took that friend’s recommendation. Kurt literary made my husband’s surprise birthday party. He was very professional and knew exactly the kind of music I was looking for. He’s extremely talented and all the people at the party were asking where I found him. I’m sure he will get referrals from our party. I would strongly recommend this artist for your next event. Thanks again Kurt. Melanie
