Wedding•Reviewed on April 12, 2022•From Geyserville, CA
Bruce Brill is an absolute gem as both a performer and a person. He was extremely receptive to our thoughts and suggestions about the types and styles of sings he performed and did an amazing job playing a wide array of genres. His positivity and good nature made him a joy to work with, and his musicianship was excellent. He read the room like a pro and helped created the exact ambiance for our reception. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an experience professional to add to their event. Top marks!

Retirement Party•Reviewed on July 17, 2022•From Santa Clara, CA
Bruce is a talented and flexible musician. Great (and prompt!) communicator, super flexible, asks all the right questions to set expectations. Our party was so special, something you just don’t get with CD playlists or loud DJ’s. Bruce was the perfect background accompany to our 35 person backyard event. I would def hire him again (several attendees requested his contact info.)

Bruce was incredible. He was so accommodating and understanding to my personal wishes for live ceremony music. I hoped that he would collaborate with my brother-in-law who would sing some very unique songs for our wedding ceremony and Bruce went above and beyond to make sure it went seamlessly- prepping with my BIL separately and even rehearsing before the actual event was more than I expected. On top of that, we had to discuss big changes due to COVID-19 but Bruce didn't even fret. Thank you SO MUCH Bruce for your professionalism, your dedication, reassurance, calmness, and your talent! I hope to see you at one of your gigs!

I cannot praise Bruce enough for the unique element of love and care he brought to our wedding through his music and presence. He worked with us from afar, we're in England, to ensure our wedding went beautifully. Bruce was happy to learn new songs for our time, he looked great, sounded amazing, was punctual and professional and a lovely guy. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to all. Thank you Bruce; you're forever part of our wedding. Can you make it to England for August 24th?

Bruce did an amazing work for our wedding, on time, professional, and fully protection for both our guests and himself against covid. We are running a little late for wedding, but he keep playing until everyone left. I’m so touched for his kindness. I do believe our wedding is totally different with him! I won’t hesitate to recommend him to everyone in the future!

I can't imagine a better ceremony musician than Bruce. From our initial contact and meeting in person to rescheduling due to covid and finally having him play at the wedding, every step of the way, Bruce was professional, warm, and understanding. He is a talented musician with a large repertoire to fit many styles and occasions. In addition, Bruce's rate is very reasonable for the time he puts in and the quality performance you get.

I contacted Bruce with only a few weeks to go until the wedding, and he promptly prepared all the requested songs from a variety of genres (classical, pop, flamenco, oldies). He was also happy to coordinate with the pastor to make our ceremony especially beautiful. He was very professional and courteous, and a great musician. I highly recommend working with Bruce.

Bruce was the only part of wedding planning that was not stressful. He was enthusiastic, flexible, communicative, and went above and beyond learning the couple of songs we asked for for our processional and recessional. With coronavirus, our garden wedding ended up being very small, and Bruce elevated the casual affair to make it feel very special. It was exactly what elevated our gathering to an event, and we were very grateful to have had him there.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 5, 2020•From Folsom, CA
Bruce was everything and more than he advertised. He was right on time, set up in a very polite way and started music exactly when asked. His music was enjoyed by all and had an extensive play list. Many guest asked how they could book him in the future. A true gentleman and professional. Looking forward to hiring you in the future and seeing you play again. Thank you for making our wedding reception so special. Take care and be well.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 25, 2020•From Woodside, CA
Bruce knocked it out of the park right from the start. He reached out not only on this platform but also sent us an email with clips of his work and his song list. My (now) husband said "that's our guy" and we booked him that night. Over the planning process, Bruce was responsive to all emails. On the day of, he showed up early and got set-up well before anybody else. It was totally magical to hear the songs we picked coming up the aisle as I walked down with my dad. Bruce was also a total hit during our cocktail hour and our guests raved about him even after the event. Booking Bruce was one of the best decisions we made and I can't recommend him enough!

Happy Hour•Reviewed on July 12, 2020•From Hillsborough, CA
Top ratings all round, Easy to work with. Brought all his own items - table, stool, microphone, long extension cord.
In times of Covid, even a shield to separate from him and guests. Came early enough to set up start playing exactly when guests arrived. Checked in frequently for requests or feedback i.e. is mike too loud etc. I had mentioned to our neighbors he was coming and if they went into their yards, they could also enjoy. And they did! Requested we do concerts EVERY Saturday night! Got to love it.

Where to begin. Right from the moment that Bruce contacts you, he is very punctual and does everything he is able to do in order to give you the songs that you desire on any special day. His music is beautiful and his voice matches the wonderful music his guitar produces. He left everyone in awe at our wedding celebration with playing exactly how we pictured the wedding ceremony as well as the dance songs we requested. Bruce did a wonderful job performing throughout the whole wedding and kept the atmosphere light and happy. The wedding would have not been the same at all without Bruce and we are honored he played at our wedding and we had a chance to meet with him!<3

I could never thank Bruce enough for being playing at our sf city hall ceremony. I requested 2 song that were not on the music list but he made it happen. Always replied to my emails in a timely manner. My husband said I did good in booking him. Everyone said how beautiful the music was. Thank you Bruce!!

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 16, 2019•From San Francisco, CA
Bruce was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had during the party planning. He was professional and showed up early to set up. I booked Bruce for our company holiday party at a wine tasting studio. I wanted live background music. Bruce did fantastic! He covered all genres for our upbeat crowd, along with Holiday tunes. I highly recommend!
