Bruce was absolutely phenomenal at our New Year’s Eve (and birthday) celebration! From the moment he started playing, he elevated the entire evening, creating a warm, joyful ambiance that made our gathering feel even more special.
He’s truly talented, has an impressive repertoire, and he’s incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. He read the room beautifully, kept the energy just right, and our guests kept commenting on how much they loved the live music.
If you’re looking for a musician who is professional, versatile, and genuinely adds magic to an event, I can’t recommend Bruce highly enough. We would happily book him again in a heartbeat!

I highly recommend Bruce for your San Francisco City Hall wedding! My husband and I were so happy with the music he brought to our ceremony as well as the music after our ceremony outside City Hall. There were many things we loved about working with Bruce, highlights include:
1. Bruce went above and beyond with coordinating logistics for our wedding day, taking a lot the planning work off of our plate.
2. Bruce is very talented with a wealth of music experience and options. My husband and I were very impressed with the extensive list of songs that Bruce was able to play.
3. Bruce is very professional, approachable, and genuinely caring about his clients.

Bruce is an amazing musician and such a pro. He made our ceremony at SF City Hall feel really special with his music. From the start, he was super responsive and easy to work with, and he had no problem accommodating any of our requests. He even learned a new song just for us and would check in with little countdowns to the big day, which was such a thoughtful touch.
If you're looking for beautiful, heartfelt music for your ceremony, we can't recommend Bruce enough. He was a joy to work with and really helped make our day feel complete.

Bruce was really a pleasure to work with as we planned our wedding. He’s quick to respond and has helpful suggestions during the planning process. During our wedding, he was very easy to work with and accommodated slight changes in plan with grace. He has a range of different styles of music, and he was the perfect choice for our intimate wedding.

If we could give Bruce more than 5 satisfaction stars in every category, we would! Bruce is an amazing guitarist who paid the upmost attention to our SF City Hall wedding music. He knew the workings of our venue well and even learned a piece (our song) to play at our wedding. His communication with us, prior to and during our wedding, was excellent. We would definitely hire him for any occasion where music is needed! Thank you again Bruce!

Bruce played guitar for my daughter's wedding at San Francisco City Hall in October, 2024. From the start, he was extremely responsive, humorous yet professional, friendly and helpful. Communication was excellent. He plays there often and supported my daughter and son-in-law in how a wedding at this venue works. Bruce has a wonderful playlist and was also very willing to learn songs they hoped to hear at their wedding. His guitar music is beautiful and complemented our whole experience wonderfully. He even helped record the event! I recommend Bruce Brill highly for your music event needs. He is an awesome ally, resource and musician.

Mary, thank you for taking the time to leave that way over the top review. You are way too kind! Take care, Bruce

We were absolutely thrilled with Bruce's performance at our wedding. Not only was he incredibly talented, but he was also incredibly accommodating and easy to work with with proactive and effective communication. Bruce was more than willing to learn specific songs that were important to us. His musical talent elevated our ceremony to a truly unforgettable experience. Beyond his musical abilities, Bruce's friendly and professional demeanor made him a pleasure to have at our wedding. He was willing to go the extra mile, and we wholeheartedly recommend Bruce to anyone looking for a talented and personable musician for their special event.

We chose Bruce to perform at our intimate wedding at City Hall in San Francisco and we certainly weren’t disappointed. His communication prior to the event was spot on and he went above and beyond to accommodate our song requests. It was lovely to meet Bruce and have him perform on our special day. He is kind, warm and generous and we felt that he wanted everything to be perfect for our wedding. He is a very talented musician and would highly recommend him.

We couldn’t have asked for a better guitarist to accompany our wedding with beautiful music before, during, and after the ceremony. Bruce went above and beyond by learning a special song for our walk down the aisle, making the moment truly unforgettable. A true professional, he arrived impeccably dressed, set up seamlessly, and created the perfect atmosphere. As a musician myself, I was particularly impressed by Bruce's exceptional talent, professionalism, and friendly demeanor.

Engagement Party•Reviewed on July 21, 2024•From San Francisco, CA
Bruce was absolutely amazing right from the start. I contacted him on very short notice and requested 2 specific songs be played for a surprise proposal to my now fiancee. When I first spoke with Bruce he was unfamiliar with the songs but quickly went to work on them and even sent me a rough rendition of the primary song (vocal & guitar) within an hour of our talk. I was very impressed by how quickly he had learned and put his unique spin on the song. Bruce coordinated with a great photographer I had booked and everything went better than I could have ever imagined. Such a pleasure to work with, super talented and a very good human. Highly, highly recommended!!!
