Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on May 9, 2017From Union, NJ

Kurst is a great musician, and a great person, very accommodating! I hired him for a birthday party and all the songs he played were so great! Loved his music! I will definitely recommend him to anyone!

Kurt Borst is by far the best guitarist/singer. He was hired for my daughter and son-in-laws wedding and presently for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I cannot say enough or express how pleased we are. You would be foolish not to have him at your next special occasion. Thanks Kurt!

Kurt was on time and looked and sounded professional. He sounded great and really added to our cocktail hour! Many people came up to me and complimented his peformance throughout the night. I would definitely recommend him for other weddings or professional settings!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kurt. He performed at my son's 100 day celebration and simply surpassed all my expectations. His musical talent and voice are amazing. Everyone loved his performance and gave such high praise for his voice. Many times we forgot we were listening to live music because he sounded so great. Kurt was so accommodating and easy to work with as well. From the very start he was pleasant and quick to respond. Our event ran over an hour later than expected and he stayed although we had not agreed to this beforehand. I 100% recommend Kurt to everyone. I will definitely plan on booking Kurt again for future events!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on November 21, 2016From Marlboro, NJ

Kurt was excellent. Very easy to deal with approaching the event, professional and responsive. We had him for a private dinner party. He was very good about reading the audience, and playing the right music at all the right times with the right volume. His voice was spot on and everyone was raving about him throughout the night and kept on asking me where I found him. The party would not have been the same without his talents. If looking for an acoustic type performance, I highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed.

I contacted Kurt for my sister's 40th bday. My first " to do" on my list was to contact Kurt in the hopes he was available for the event. Luckily, he was. His performance exceeded my expectations. He delivered an amazing time for all of us with his talent in playing and singing. Not once did he look at his watch. I feel so happy to have had Kurt celebrating my sister's event. All the guests were impressed with him. I, highly, recommend Kurt to friends and family. He's the person for any memorable occasion. he shows tremendous passion for his work. We were very lucky to have him. Sincerely, Anne Marie Gerdau

WeddingReviewed on October 17, 2016From Nanuet, NY

In addition to being an incredibly talented musician, Kurt is a true professional. He played during my ceremony and dinner, and my guests could not stop complimenting him. One of my friends wants to hire him to "play in my living room when I get home from work every day". Another did not realize he was playing, and thought we had Pandora in the background - - he is that good! Kurt was quickly responsive to emails, friendly and so helpful in directing guests at the start of the ceremony, at dinner service and during speeches. I think this was the best money spent for my wedding - do not hesitate to hire Kurt. I will definitely be calling him again.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 5, 2016From Shelton, CT

Kurt performed at my wedding and was absolutely amazing! He set the mood for the entire night performing during happy hour and throughout dinner. Kurt is an outstanding performer - I've been trying to think of reasons to have a party so I can hire him again. He is one of the nicest, coolest, most down to earth guys I've ever met. He is extremely professional, his price is incredibly reasonable, and he's very flexible. We loved his performance so much I worked out a deal with him to stay even longer than the time we originally had him booked. Every single one of my guests told me how much they loved Kurt's performance. Hire him now - you won't be disappointed.

Engagement PartyReviewed on September 12, 2016From Morris Plains, NJ

Just had Kurt play at our outdoor engagement party for my son and his wife to be. He was a wonderful addition to the event! Kurt came early, set up and played his heart out. Everyone commented to me how talented he was and how much they enjoyed the music. He even let me sing a couple of tunes!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 21, 2016From Weston, CT

Kurt was very professional in communicating with me and fact finding about the event and our wishes. He is a very talented artist and his music and personality were prefect for the event and venue. All of the guests complimented me on the choice and the restaurant asked for his card for future bookings. Thank you Kurt for making my mother's birthday party a wonderful day!

We were so lucky to have Kurt play at our Wedding in Central Park. He was very professional to deal with, flexible and on he day was a joy to listen to. At times he was so good we couldn't believe he was singing & playing live! Highly recommended. Andrew

WeddingReviewed on September 8, 2016From New York City, NY

I could not be happier! From the first moment I contacted Kurt until after the wedding, he has been spectacular! He's the most professional musician I've met, which made me confident that he was going to be there and on time. It was my first time hiring anyone via gigmasters so I was a little nervous. But Kurt made me feel calm and confident. He was always quick to respond to my emails. He also went above & beyond by making suggestions of songs for each moment of the wedding (great suggestions by the way), AND he learned a new song just for my wedding!!! I wish I could thank you enough Kurt - it was an important day of my life and you made a huge difference! :)

We hired Kurt for a Jack and Jill baby shower/BBQ. The songs he played hit the mark with everyone! I even noticed a guest at our party requesting his contact information! We highly recommend Kurt. You won't be sorry!

Kurt played a wedding for us in Central Park in the beginning of June for about 50 guests. He was on-time, professional and sounded great. He was also willing to accommodate the bride's specific requests during the planning process.

I had a surprise party for my husband and we hired Kurt for the party. I cannot say enough great things about him. He was so professional from the very first contact email until the end of the night at the party. He set the mood for the party and everyone wanted to know where we found him. I would highly recommend him for any event you need an awesome musician for. He made it an amazing party!!! Hire him you wont be disappointed!
