Stephen Kleiman was the highlight of our first ITALIAN FEAST OF SAINT MICHAEL. Successful though the event was, Stephen's mandolin entertainment put us over the top when it came to that "added touch". I can assure you that he will be invited back next year.

Stephen was a great addition to our event, playing a diverse selection of music types to please everyone's taste. He complemented his guitar virtuosity with recorded accompanyment that gave the overall impression of a small group entertaining the guests. It was perfect!

Stephen went above & beyond! There was a song that we were interested in having played but we didn't realize that the sheet music wasn't readily available. Stephen took it upon himself to write out the sheet music, played it beautifully, & then after the ceremony presented us with a beautiful hard copy. His kindness without hesitation to put the arrangement together, play it wonderfully, & then present us with such a beautiful gift after was truly a very special part of our day. My wife & I are both avid Harry Potter fans & this gift is something that we will always cherish & remember. It is currently framed on our wall next to our wedding photos! Thank you Stephen!

Stephen was an absolute charm to work with. He answered messages quickly, arrived on time, required very little assistance with anything, and provided great back ground music for our event.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 12, 2017•From Mount Joy, PA
Stephen was the perfect musician for a vow renewal ceremony that my family hosted in August. I requested he perform with the ukulele and it was no disappointment! Stephen is incredibly talented and played a variety of songs for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He has a wide selection of music to choose from, is knowledgeable regarding the flow of an event, was willing to accommodate all of my special requests regarding music, scheduling, set-up, etc. He arrived early to set-up, was professional throughout the entire process. We thoroughly enjoyed the musical vibe he brought to our summer festivity as did all our guests. Highly recommend Stephen for your next event!
Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on November 14, 2016•From Lancaster, PA
Stephen was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! He was prompt and detailed in his communication and very professional throughout. During planning, Stephen explained his approach to song selection, cited examples from previous events, and then offered a variety of suggestions/ideas for us to draw on in making our decisions. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and we were absolutely thrilled with the music. We didn't get to spend much time at the cocktail hour (due to pictures), but more than a few of our guests came up to compliment us on the music after the fact. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Stephen for your next event!

Steve was wonderful. We had quite a few special requests for our ceremony and he made every single on of them happen, from our music selections to leading us in a hymn. He even recorded one of the songs for us ahead of time so that we could hear what it would sound like on the day of. I was so pleased by his kindness, talent, and the the beautiful music that helped to make our day so special.

I had a great experience with Stephen from start to finish. He responded quickly to my inquiry, gave me a reasonable quote, and included a singer as well. The performance was outstanding, and it brought my wife to tears. I highly recommend Stephen.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 3, 2016•From Doylestown, PA
We hired Stephen to play at our wedding ceremony this past Friday. He had no problem playing a few unusual song requests that are not a part of a normal wedding repertoire. He arrived very early and handled getting all set up on his own - even finding electric from the venue. Then when it appeared that it was going to rain, he moved his entire setup to the back up indoor location without complaint. I highly recommend Steve for whatever event you are planning; his rate is extremely reasonable and he will not disappoint!
Wine Tasting Party•Reviewed on November 19, 2015•From Lederach, PA
Stephen was a joy to communicate and work with, a true professional. And, best of all, our guests loved him and the music he played! Our venue was a grape harvest party. We asked Stephen if he could play Italian music reminiscent of the movie 'A Walk in the Clouds' while our guests took a break from grape harvesting to enjoy lunch. He did that and so much more. Stephen is an excellent musician, very accomplished on the instruments he plays.
Be assured that you will be delighted with this fine musician.

Mr. Kleiman was wonderful to work with. He was punctual, professional, and most definitely pleasant. He not only crafted the perfect sets for our event but performed them beautifully. Our members not only enjoyed his music, but his interactions with them as well. Very talented and I would hire again.
