Private Party•Reviewed on September 12, 2013•From Seattle, WA

Barry was delightful! Arrived on time and played the perfect upbeat jazz guitar for our gathering. I had a happy boss, which made for a happy customer. Barry also looked sharp! Very well dressed for our donor dinner event. A+!

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 10, 2012•From Tacoma, WA

Barry helped make our corporate holiday party a success. He was very accomodating, arrived right on time, and allowed us to use his equipment. He is a talented guitarist with a large repertoire of music. Very professional.

Event•Reviewed on January 11, 2012•From Seattle, WA

The Barry Pollack trio was terrific, and I would highly recommend the group to others. Certainly, I would be interested in hiring them again for a Seattle-area event. Talented, timely, courteous, professional. Their music contributed significantly to the success of our evening.

Barry was not only wonderful to work with but did such an amazing job on our ceremony! My husband had a special request and Barry made sure to do some research and made it happen. We got so many compliments on how wonderful he was and sounded amazing!

Thank you GigMasters for allowing me to find the perfect musician for my son's wedding! Barry was more than patient as we put together a small, last minute ceremony, and was able to suggest just the right music to make the occassion memorable for us all. His talent is readily apparent, and his personality put everyone immediately at ease. He played a mix of traditional classical pieces for the ceremony, and then continued to play popular favorites that were totally fitting of the moment. The parents of the bride (and groom)as well as the newlyweds were just thrilled! I highly, highly recommend Barry!

Gary really customized his music picks for my wedding. He's also really freaking good! The guests commented on how comfortable they felt from him playing. I was very grateful I chose Barry.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 9, 2012•From Bellingham, WA

We were very pleased with Barry's overall performance and professionalism. His music was wonderful and certainly added the special touch we wanted for our daughter's wedding. He was most accommodating and needed very little direction from us. We couldn't have been happier. Thanks to Barry for adding to our wonderful day!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 28, 2012•From Bellevue, WA

Barry worked out wonderfully for my birthday party which consisted mainly of mature adults (40-70 age group). I had many guests compliment me on my choice of guitarist and singer. Several more complimented him directly. I would have him play for me again should the occasion arise. I would also highly recommend him to anyone else in need of a guitarist for a mature group.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 2, 2011•From Steilacoom, WA

Barry and his beautiful guitar playing were some of the highlights of our entire wedding ceremony. He was very accommodating with my wishes, and I sent him the Minister's script and program and he made great song suggestions to us. All the guests loved hearing him play during the pre-professional and then when the bridal party came down the aisle. It was perfect for our outdoor wedding with the Puget Sound in the background. Thank you Barry!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on August 22, 2010•From Leavenworth, WA

Barry was beyond our expectations...just perfect. He played the most beautiful wedding music that everyone enjoyed. He was completely reliable, honest and learned new music specifically for our ceremony. I cannot explain what a relief it was to have found someone like him that was so organized professional as well as able to adapt to any unexpected events occuring during our wedding. I would highly recommend him to ANYONE for any special event that they want an incredible musician to play for. It was a blessing and a relief to find you! We would be happy to be a reference anytime! Sincerely, Elizabeth and Luther

Corporate Function•Reviewed on July 20, 2012•From Woodinville, WA

Barry was super-wonderful at our client event at Chateau Ste Michelle. We had a great time. Our group was rather noisy, but Barry provided the best vibe for our chatty reception! My boss was very pleased and noted that Barry was perfect for the event. I appreciated hearing Bring it on Home to Me and Another Saturday Night by Sam Cooke. Made me smile. Thank you!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 5, 2010•From Friday Harbor, WA

Barry was very good at observing where he would best be located during the day and evening events. He was always present, but not obtrusive. His repertoire was appropriate and tailored to each stage of the ceremony. I would highly recommend Barry. I only wish I'd offered him to grab some dinner sooner!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 27, 2010•From Tacoma, WA

Barry was absolutely fabulous for our Wedding Ceremony. He responded promptly and positively during planning, agreeing to song requests and providing advice. Throughout the event, Barry's professionalism, experience, and talent really shined through. He came early and had everything he needed. Noticing guests had gathered in the area where we were taking pre-ceremony pictures, Barry was flexible and brought the music to us. One highlight was when he recognized that some of our guests were Korean and played a traditional Korean song. The ceremony music played out perfectly. We are so glad that we chose Barry. Working with him was wonderful and we highly recommend him.

Funeral•Reviewed on June 10, 2012•From Tacoma, WA

Barry did a perfect job at my Mom's outdoor garden celebration memorial. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed his music and many asked how to hire him. He is extremely talented, well-rehearsed, sophisticated, organized and eager to please the crowd. Many commented on how nice he was and told me "Great choice of music". His music was just right as people could still visit and talk over it. The style he plays provides a comfortable and soothing environment that was enjoyed by people of all ages. All I can say and my 100+ crowd would have agreed with me is "Barry is Awesome". You won't be disappointed I guarantee.

Barry was very accommodating and helpful in planning our ceremony music. Not a single flaw in his performance from arrival to departure. We would highly recommend Barry to anyone else looking for this style of music.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 7, 2010•From Enumclaw, WA

Barry was so great. We simply told him what type of music we like and he played based off the mood of the croud. I made a special request for our processional song and he was very accommodating. His rate was very reasonable as well. We feel that we couldn't have gotten better! We would definitely book Barry again if we need a guitarist!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 27, 2008•From Seattle, WA

Barry was great. He made the process of hiring a musician very easy. He pretty much planned everything since I had no clue. His music was great and he stayed longer than expected.

Barry performed at two different types of venues for me. One event was a reception for corporate sponsors and the other event had a Blues theme for students, he is an excellent performer. Very Talented. I would definitely recommend Barry. He is very professional and accommodating with our request. I would hire him again.

We were very pleased that Barry played at our daughters wedding. He was marvelous and we enjoyed his music so much. We had many of our guests comment to us that the music was so nice and relaxing. I would definately hire Barry again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone considering him for their special event or function. Jay & Pam Virnoche
