Review by Melanie G.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on November 21, 2013From Philadelphia, PA

Hire this guy! Wow, Scott is amazing. Everyone was raving about him DURING the reception (as well as after). He just knows what to play, no list necessary. If it would be appropriate to keep him in your living room and play wonderful music all day, that would be the way to go. Thank you, Scott, you really helped make our day beautiful.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 26, 2013From Avalon, NJ

This was the first time that I used Gig Masters to book entertainment. The person that I had hired (recommended by the location) had to cancel with fairly short notice. I booked Scott based on the samples available on his website and by a brief conversation with him on the phone. We couldn't have been happier. His preparation, communication and most importantly his music exceeded our expectations 1000 fold. A true professional that will arrive early, stay late and entertain you all evening. Thanks Scott!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on July 12, 2013From Philadelphia, PA

One of the best decisions I made for our company party was to hire Scott to play. Scott is a very talented musician and his musical memory for songs was the most often cited feature of the event.

Retirement PartyReviewed on June 16, 2013From Monmouth Junction, NJ

From first point of contact, Scott has always been professional and readily available to answer any questions. He arrived to the gig on time and stuck to our agreed upon breaks and duration. If you're looking for an artist with tons of experience, professionalism and a diverse song selection, Scott is your guy. His musical taste and song selection throughout the party definitely fit the mood and received tons of positive feedback from our guests. I highly recommend Scott and will be sure to keep him top of mind for our next party.

CelebrationReviewed on May 11, 2013From Califon, NJ

Scott was wonderful! He is an excellent musician and a great entertainer. He was kind enough to learn a new song for the event. Everyone gave me such nice compliments about Scott - how much they enjoyed him and his music. I wish I had another party planned so I could invite him back . Thank you, Scott!

EventReviewed on December 23, 2012From New York City, NY

Scott was a Godsend, and I could not be happier with him! From the get-go Scott made himself available, and was extremely accommodating in all aspects from planning to performance. He even took the time to learn a new song (even though he has memorized more music than I think I have even heard in my lifetime), and ensured all was perfect and ready to go prior to the event. This gig was a surprise performance so I could propose to my beautiful girlfriend, now fiancé :), and knowing that Scott was there helped ease my nerves. His performance was outstanding, and he owned the new song as if he had written it himself (even though he only days to learn it). Amazing!

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on December 2, 2012From Slate Hill, NY

Scott is the best! The music he played at our wedding ceremony was beautiful. He also did an incredible job at the cocktail hour. It is amazing how much music he has memorized. Not only does Scott play great music, but he is a professional. He was on top of everything from the minute we booked, right up though the wedding. We are so happy we chose Scott to play at our wedding!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 23, 2012From Hammonton, NJ

Absolutely fantastic! A pure pleasure - he played every song that we requested and then some and we enjoyed every note. I received several compliments about our choice of musician and many people wondering where we found him because of how good he was. His acoustic classical preheat before the ceremony was particularly great. He also performed a slowed down version of "This Magic Moment" and it was fantastic as well. Thanks Scott!! We would hire for other events definitely.

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on October 22, 2012From Rye, NY

We just returned from our honeymoon and were SO THRILLED with how our reception turned out... I have to THANK SCOTT for being the PERFECT COMPLIMENT to our magical wedding night! Initially, we hired him for a cocktail hour, but then asked him to stay 3+ hrs b/c of so many "this guy's fan-tastic" comments - and I agreed. I had a few musicians in mind, but was encouraged to hire Scott from feedback here, his professional manner and his vast and varied repertoire. He is un-usually talented! Scott gave a FIRST-CLASS, virtuosic performance on guitar and had a wonderful, warm, rangy voice, as well. Looking forward to recommending him professionally and for future events!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on September 17, 2012From Montville, NJ

I can describe Scott's performance in one word: Fabulous! Scott was absolutely fantastic in his playing ability. The song selection was just perfect for our guests. Everyone kept commenting on the great music and how wonderful Scott was in making the party such a success. We had a trivia contest, and Scott made it so much fun by adding little bits of tunes that had to do with the subject matter. Awesome!

Private PartyReviewed on September 9, 2012From Haverford, PA

Scott played for us at a party for 75 in our home. He was wonderful and helped to "make" the party. He was so professional and easy to communicate with, and took every measure to ensure we had a great time. His song choices were a major hit and he even moved locations within our home three times (both inside and out) to accommodate the "flow" of the party. Our friends will still be raving about him for weeks to come. I highly recommend Scott and can't wait to book him for our next occasion!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 22, 2012From New York City, NY

Scott was absolutely perfect for my party! He is so talented and very sensitive to the people, surroundings and requests. We had a surprise birthday party for my husband who turned 70. Scott couldn't have been more perfect in every way. He created just the right ambiance for conversation, playing oldies and switching to beautiful classical music that floated softly around us during dinner. I received many, many compliments on the music and I can only say that I hope to be able to use Scott again and again. In addition, Scott is a true pleasure to work with and have around. Scott has my highest recommendation and it is with pleasure that I submit it.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 29, 2012From Bayville, NY

Scott was great! Some of our guests are very much into music and they as well as everyone else loved his music. Scott worked very hard to make the party enjoyable and memorable. He is a very talented, very hard-working, very flexible and we would 100% recommend him!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 29, 2012From New Rochelle, NY

We hired Scott to play and sing at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From the beginning of the booking process with Scott, he was the most professional vendor we dealt with. He was open to our requests but also gave helpful advice as he guided us through music selection for different parts of our event. Guests at our wedding could not stop complimenting the variety of songs and his interesting interpretations of many popular songs (one-man guitar Bohemian Rhapsody = amazing)! We look forward to throwing another party someday and hiring Scott to come and play. He is five star performance and professionalism all the way!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 17, 2012From Briarcliff Manor, NY

Scott was wonderful, very responsive, attentive and personable from the get-go. My guests loved him and his interactions with them. They haven't stopped telling me how much he added to the party. He let members of the crowd play and sing along with him. He was not only gracious but enthusiastic about performing requests, and he knew most every song requested, and he has the perfect kind of voice for the songs I like from the 60s and 70s. And he barely took a break during the five-hour gig. I thank Scott deeply. I recommend Scott highly and feel confident he would add greatly to any party or event of any kind. The consumer will not be disappointed!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on June 22, 2012From Long Island, NY

We hired Scott to perform at my daughter's 30th Birthday Party in a restaurant in Franklin Square, NY. Except for immediate family, the majority of the attendees were ages 25 to 35. Everyone enjoyed Scott's music. Scott provided a song listing at each table that guests could make requests from. The guests commented on how many songs Scott could play from memory. Scott even learned a new song that was meaningful to my daughter, her 87 year old grandfather and the rest of our family. Scott was on-time, professional and followed-up before the party. He is a talented and friendly musician. Our family was very pleased and we would hire Scott again!
