Wedding•Reviewed on December 31, 2025•From Jamesport, NY

Kurt is an amazing performer and human being. He is incredibly talented and made our day so special. I even had a special request for Kurt to play a specific song for me and he happily learned it. Our guests were so impressed with him! We would definitely work with him again and highly recommend him for your special event. He is a pleasure to work with.

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

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 29, 2025•From Mystic, CT

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

Kurt was perfect! From the outset, Kurt was communicative, easy to work with and on the night, his music was on point and contributed to creating the perfect vibe for my party. Super talented, we had so many guests commenting on Kurt and his music. Highly recommend! We loved Kurt!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 3, 2025•From Greenwich, CT

Kurt performed acoustic guitar for our 50th birthday party during the cocktail hour and dinner, then transitioned to DJ services. Kurt was extremely professional from start to finish. He was always responsive to emails leading up to the event and arrived on time. Kurt is a very talented musician and also kept the music at the perfect volume. He was very happy to play from a list of songs we requested off his website. When it came time for the DJ part of the night, Kurt was willing to allow our guests to use his microphone to sing. All of our guests were on the dance floor having a blast. Don't delay, book Kurt for your next event!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on January 14, 2025•From New York City, NY

Kurt was the best! He had all of his own equipment and while we struggled to find a good power source, he helped find a solution. He performed for 4 straight hours and sounded great the whole time! He was also very friendly and created a great vibe for our event. I would definitely hire Kurt again for future events in NYC.

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on January 13, 2025•From Cedar Grove, NJ

Kurt was awesome! He was easy to work with, professional and talented. Our rehearsal dinner ran way longer than expected and he stayed for a minimal fee. Such a great addition to our rehearsal dinner/welcome party! Very pleased.

Kurt did a fantastic job for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. Right from the start, he was very professional and responsive, and we knew we could trust his judgment. He was very flexible as well and really made the planning process easy and stress free. Lastly, his music was top notch and exactly what we were looking for! Would highly recommend for any event!
