Bruce was amazing. Bruce was very helpful throughout the whole process: he provided samples of all the songs we wanted; he helped us organize the wedding; and he played all the songs we asked for expertly. He showed up early, played until all of our guest left and overall did an amazing job. His communication up to and during the ceremony was excellent — he even helped our officiant in understanding the acoustics of the venue.
We just loved it!

Bruce was great and easy to work with! I wish we could hear him play more! He was very responsive and he even gave us wedding suggestions of what he’s seen other couples do at City Hall for 1-Hour ceremonies (which was very helpful!)
If you’re looking for someone to play great, show up on time and to perform exactly what you asked Bruce is the one!

Bruce was Fantastic! He played at our wedding at San Francisco City Hall. His song list helped us in choosing the songs we needed, he even learned one of the songs on our list that he didn’t know. He stayed in contact with us throughout and answered all questions in a very timely manner. Would recommend Bruce for any special occasion you have! Thank you Bruce!

Bruce’s experience performing at SF City Hall was invaluable to us in many ways.
He helped Lisa understand how the ceremony unfolds and offered a long list of songs to choose from. Once I told Lisa he was our musician, she felt much more confidant and put her at ease. SF City Hall events have many rules and regulations so his familiarity with what is allowed kept us out of trouble. Very professional of him to contact the Events department beforehand, as well as making a last-minute recording of the song we chose to dance to so we could rehearse remotely. He was very personable, versatile, and talented. The music he played appealed to wide audience.

Bruce was professional, communicative and incredibly thoughtful. I reached out to him on a Thursday night, for an event Saturday. He sent me an exceptional song list and took the time to find out about the little details of the event and what we needed to make it an enjoyable experience. He showed up early, and his performance was wonderful. All our guests commented on how talented he was and how they loved the variety of music he played. He stayed later than expected at the request of our guests. He engaged with the little ones as well as the seniors, made everyone feel welcome, and brought a great sense of humor and laughter to all. Bruce will not disappoint!

Bruce is a true professional. His years of experience were clear in his pre-event communication and of course, his beautiful music .
We were so happy we chose Bruce for our wedding. He added zero stress to the event planning and his music made the ceremony a surreal experience. Thanks Bruce!

Bruce was the perfect touch we needed to take our birthday celebration from good to GREAT. He's a true professional - on time, communicative, and talented. Also, importantly, the music did not drown everything and everyone out. The music kept coming and the selections were perfect! He, also, kept an eye on the goings-on at the party so he knew when to pause. In other words, he was GREAT!
Thanks, Bruce, for adding that extra something to our celebration.

We hired Bruce to play at our San Francisco City Hall wedding ceremony. He was responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process. Additionally, he had a ton of experience playing SF City Hall (and was on SF City Hall preferred vendor list) so he already knew exactly when to arrive, where to be, and what to do on the day of the wedding. Most importantly, he played beautifully which helped set the tone for our wedding. Would absolutely recommend him for your City Hall ceremony and other events!

Bruce played at our triple birthday celebration - my son's first birthday, as well as mine and my husband's birthdays. He was so easy to plan logistics with, was reliable, and a great performer. Our guests loved his music and the ambiance he helped provide. We are grateful he was available and for his kindness. Thank you Bruce!

We hired Bruce as our guitarist for our City Hall wedding in San Francisco and were completely blown away by his talent and professionalism. Admittedly, we had pretty nontraditional requests when it came to our processional and recessional music but Bruce was willing to accommodate all of our requests without batting an eye. He was extremely communicative and friendly over email. On the day of, he showed up early, played beautiful music and was a wonderful addition to our ceremony. I would strongly recommend Bruce and would absolutely hire him for my next event! Thanks again, Bruce!

Bruce was amazing! We hired him for our wedding at San Francisco City Hall. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is so accommodating and made sure we were 100% happy with what he was playing. He made sure to ask us what we wanted him to wear, was on time, professional, and a great communicator leading up to the big day. I would recommend him ten times over to anyone looking for a guitarist. Thank you so much Bruce!

We were delighted to have Bruce at our ceremony. He really helped set the romantic ambiance we were hoping for by hiring a muscian. Our guests provided great feedback as well and loved his kind, personable spirit! He learned a new song upon my fiancé’s request and it was beautiful. We loved hearing it echo throughout city hall. He is extremely talented and I recommend him to all. Thank you Bruce!

Our Musician, our Guitarist Bruce Brill, was Amazing!! He has been there many times and is very helpful! The music he played was exactly what we wanted, including our favorite song, which was loud and clear in our wedding video. He made our Wedding Day very special.
