Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on May 31, 2011•From Garden City, NY
From the beginning, Scott was very professional and responsive. Each time we contacted him we heard back from him right away, so it made the planning process easy. We had an "audition" with him and were impressed at the range of songs he can play, all from memory alone. He is very friendly, knows his music, and is willing to learn new music if requested. He even offered to come to our wedding early to start playing before our scheduled time in case guests arrived early which we thought was a nice touch. He was a perfect addition to our cocktail hour and wedding. He sounded fantastic and it was a wonderful way to welcome friends and family to the party.Thanks Scott!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 8, 2011•From Stockton, NJ
Scott performed at our wedding on 4/30/11 for both the ceremony and the reception. He was outstanding. I cannot say enough good things about the overall experience. From the beginning Scott was easy to work with, responsive, and professional. His extensive song list allowed us to pick more than enough songs for him to play. In terms of talent and ability Scott was amazing. He is an excellent guitar player and vocalist. A number of guests, especially those who know and appreciate music, approached me to praise Scott. Scott was also flexible and accommodating working with venue logistics, venue staff, and the schedule of the reception itself.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on February 5, 2011•From New York City, NY
Scott was amazing! His repertoire of songs is incredible....pages and pages and pages of songs that he knows by heart. We had fun passing out the lists of songs to guests who then took turns making requests. By nights end, the party turned into karaoke night, and Scott was a great sport. I would recommend Scott without hesitation and look forward to having him perform at another of our parties in the near future. Thanks Scott!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 29, 2010•From Rockville Centre, NY
Scott was absolutely terrific. He was so good that the crowd refused to let him leave. He ended up playing for another couple of hours. No question that I would book him again for another gig.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 18, 2010•From Garrison, NY
Scott was a total hit! All of our guests loved him, noticed his talent, and enjoyed his enthusiasm for music. He really set the ambiance we wanted and completed the close, warm feeling we envisioned for our wedding. More than once that day we heard the question, "Where did you find this guy?". We couldn't have been more pleased. We would highly recommend him, and will likely hire him again for a neighborhood block party. Thank you Scott!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on October 5, 2010•From Tarrytown, NY
Scott played at our wedding last night at the Castle in Tarrytown NY. He was so awesome and all of our guests really loved him. He was perfect for our small wedding. He is so talented and easy going. My Husband is also a singer and sang with Scott and it was fantastic. Scott plays the guitar and sings but its feels as if he has 3 or 4 people with him, he had us all up dancing and played beautiful music during dinner. He made our wedding experience amazing. I would hire him again and I would highly recommend him!!! Thanks Scott!!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 27, 2010•From Milford, PA
We couldn't be happier with Scott's performance during our Wedding. Every request we made, Scott was willing to accommodate. His talent and ability showed through during all phases of our wedding (Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Dinner, and Dancing). I think his ability to play music during the different parts of our wedding is a testament to his broad and diverse musical talents. To put it simply, we would be quick to recommend Scott and even quicker to hire him again!

Awards Night Party•Reviewed on August 31, 2010•From New York City, NY
Scott's performance was outstanding. His musical choices fit the occasion (event) perfectly. He was in fine voice and his guitar playing was excellent. In addition, Scott was most accomodating and flexible and was a pleasure to work with throughout the evening. Scott contributed significantly to the success of the event. He deserves a 5 rating in all aspects of his work yesterday evening.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 27, 2010•From Mount Tabor, NJ
What a great experience! We hired Scott to perform for our entire wedding--ceremony, cocktail hour and reception--and he was amazing. His repertoire and abilities are so great that musically each part of our day had a distinct sound and feel. His song list is long and diverse. Not only was he professional, he was also very patient with us and helpful in suggesting music choices. And he also learned new songs for us. I highly recommend him, and I look forward to hiring him again!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 16, 2010•From Oceanside, NY
Scott was amazing. We first auditioned him in NYC,. After hearing his tunes and witnessing his talent playing on the acoustic guitar, we booked him on the spot. He stayed in contact with us up to the day of. His talent is apparent when he started singing the song my daughter requested as she walked down the aisle. Very, very romantic. Scott performed at the cocktail hour as well. He even took a request and sang with the groom's couisin. I would hire Scott again, without hesitation. He is truly a professional, talented musician! Thanks Gig Masters for listing such amazing artists. Scott you're the best!!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 18, 2010•From Basking Ridge, NJ
We hired Scott to play at our rehearsal dinner. It was a Texas BBQ themed dinner in NJ. He did a wonderful job and even learned a new song that I dedicated to my soon to be husband. He did an amazing job!Scott worked very hard to get every detail right for our event. He put together the perfect variety of songs to create the perfect atmosphere. We had several of our guests comment on how talented they thought he was and how much they enjoyed listening to him. All in all, Scott was a great addition to our event. We highly recommend him!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 11, 2010•From West Park, NY
Scott is not only an unbelievably talented musician, but also incredibly accommodating and professional. Throughout the planning process, Scott made himself available for all of our needs. The classical guitar pieces he played during our ceremony were beautiful and the acoustic/vocals during the cocktail hour were just awesome. Our guests were raving about his performance all night.
Scott, I cannot thank you enough for your courtesy and accommodation. I have a few friends who will likely be getting married soon, and I have a feeling you'll be hearing from them.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 28, 2010•From Teaneck, NJ
We hired Scott for our wedding and have NO regrets! We trusted him to feel the crowd out and use his own judgement regarding song selections. He exceeding our expectations and was very accomodating with requests from our guests. He is a well rounded, very professional entertainer.
A party is only as good as the food and the entertainment. Alot of the guests commented that our's was the best reception they had ever been at. I think they ment it. Scott was a big part of making that happen. He took our reception to another level. Will hire him again, should the occasion arise.

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 1, 2010•From North Andover, MA
We were totally thrilled with Scott's performance. Everyone loved him. We have received many positive comments and many people asked for his card for future bookings. I have never used an entertainer for a party before, and I had some misgivings and anxieties, but I will definitely use Scott again. Scott performed for us at a high school graduation party with about 50 guests who were either adults or high school seniors. He was open to requests and had a very large repertoire which suited the two age groups.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 12, 2010•From Hagerstown, MD
Scott did an absolutely amazing job! His talent and personality helped to make both our wedding and our reception unforgettable. He is extremely professional, accommodating, friendly, and fun. In addition to his unbelievable repertoire of songs, Scott even learned a new special song for us. He's open to taking guest requests, and he even let my new husband play and sing with him. He definitely set the perfect mood for our entire event. There's no competition for Scott's vocal or guitar ability. I would recommend him to anyone, and we hope to have the opportunity to hear him again!
