Review by Brendis G.

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 ??
