Review by Ronen C.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 22, 2015•From New Paltz, NY

We had the privilege of having Glen perform at our recent Jewish ceremony this past weekend (10/2015). Glen did an absolutely flawless job with his musical selection, his performance, and his interaction with our guests. He was able to keep our small intimate wedding entertained throughout the ceremony. Aside from his excellent ability to perform the songs we had selected (and learning to play some new songs as well), he was able to keep my overly energetic niece and nephew thoroughly entertained throughout - even having my 5 year old nephew sit still and remain focused (a previously thought impossible task) We would absolutely recommend him to everyone.

:

Thank you, Ronen! Your ceremony and reception were beautiful (and I secretly renewed my vows to my beloved wife while you made yours)!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 23, 2015•From New York City, NY

Glen is such an amazing talent, we had him perform at not one, but two events this summer! Glen played at my Bridal Shower, and we loved him so much that we also asked him to play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The most incredible thing about Glen is that he takes the time to treat each event as something special and unique, to really read his clients and the audience, and to customize his set list accordingly. Glen understood our desire for an eclectic mix, and played everything from Elvis, to Jason Mraz, to Coldplay, to The Beatles. We love Glen and would highly recommend him for any special occasion you have coming up!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on July 12, 2021•From Sayville, NY

Thank you, Glen, for playing AMAZING music at our backyard graduation party! Glen responded promptly to all emails before our event. He set up quickly and discreetly and was playing at the start time as guests arrived. Glen played so many songs that we requested and took requests from our guests effortlessly. His voice is spot on and he knows a wide range of music that spans all ages. We even asked him to stay for an extra half hour because we didn't want him to stop. Most of all, Glen followed our request to allow for chatting and conversation during the party and the volume did not overwhelm the mingling of guests. I would truly recommend Glen for your event!

Celebration•Reviewed on June 27, 2021•From Township of Washington, NJ

We hired Glen to provide musical entertainment at a party celebrating our recent citizenship. Glen put together an awesome playlist based on some suggestions we had, and also took requests. He was friendly and professional throughout the planning process, and we had many of our friends compliment his singing and selection of songs. We would highly recommend him and we plan to book Glen again in the future.

Loved having Glen at my backyard party. So talented, he set the mood. My guests said they felt like they were in Key West!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 2, 2020•From Ronkonkoma, NY

A very talented, diverse, accomodating and personable performer. We had over 25 people here from ages 13-72 and everyone remarked at how awesome he was. We were very lucky to have picked Glen for our party. Thanks Glen!

:

Oh my goodness – thank you, Lori! And I feel lucky and grateful that you found me! I left wishing I could write a review for my client, and here it is: 5 STARS Lori and Ken treated me like royalty, with a covered stage area on their beautiful deck, two friendly, sweet puppies greeting me, spacious yard filled with nice family and friends, and the most delicious food!! And though it was Ken's birthday, he sent *me* off with a parting gift, and a facemask and hand sanitizer! I highly recommend this client (but you'll never pry them away from me :-) Here comes another great year, Ken – rock on! Your fan, Glen

Celebration•Reviewed on May 4, 2020•From Irvington, NY

Glen was fantastic! We asked him to come play a show for our neighborhood during social distancing. He set up by himself in our driveway and all our neighbors came out in their own lawn chairs to enjoy his music. He is extremely talented, took requests from all the different households and has a huge variety. Two of our nieghbors asked us for his contact info. It was such a great experience to be able to sit outside and listen to great music and was a real treat to break up the monotony of social distancing.

:

Doug, thank you for your kind review, and also for your kind heart! It brightened my day to play for you during these strange times. While I played I just loved seeing how your driveway concert gift touched each and every person nearby – the delightful smile on your wife's face, the couple next door who happened to be celebrating a birthday, the postman who pulled up with mail and danced a little, joggers, dog-walking families, neighbors filming video from their lawns, the happy tree-cutters as they drove by, even a man who lived around the block came by to say "thank you!"... Thank you! You added real warmth to that beautiful sunny day! Your fan, Glen

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 16, 2019•From Tenafly, NJ

Glen was a pleasure to work with. In the week leading up to the event I sent song requests and ideas which were received professionally and with great reassurance. He was on time, accommodating, and did a great job! He was a welcome presence at the party and guests were impressed with his singing and guitar playing. Highly recommended.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 5, 2019•From Greenwich, CT

I can’t say enough great things about Glen. He made our party. He is very talented, plays a range of music, has an excellent voice and is an excellent musician. Everyone at the party complimented Glen on how he is very talented. My guests kept asking me, how did I find him? “ He is fantastic, Need to get his business card.” Totally recommend Glen.

Thank you, Cindy! That was a great party, and I feel lucky to have been there to celebrate with you! Your fan, Glen

Celebration•Reviewed on August 8, 2019•From Dobbs Ferry, NY

Glen is the consummate professional. He show tremendous enthusiasm in making sure your event goes beyond expectations. My communication with Glen was via text and even with that, he felt like a friend that I was knew. Face it, professional musicians are a dime a dozen, but it's his personality that sets him apart. I hired Glen to sing and play a Billy Joel song as I was proposing to my future wife. The outdoor venue in this restaurant was an ideal setting but mother nature had other plans. We had to move it all inside but Glen just rolled with the punches and delivered. Highly recommended for any events! You will not be disappointed!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 30, 2019•From New York City, NY

Glen literally blew me away! Hit it out of the park. The guitar he played on was also played by Billy Joel. He was kind, professional and soooo talented. I can’t express enough gratitude to him. He actually made the party!!

Thank you, Laura!! You gave such a beautiful party for your sweet Mom, and I feel grateful to have been there to celebrate her too! Your fan, Glen

Holiday Party•Reviewed on January 13, 2019•From Cromwell, CT

Very Very Talented! We will absolutely hire Glen again! Party was several weeks ago, and we are STILL hearing how amazing the music was! (fabulous music, played non-stop, very professional, and on top of all of that, Glen is also a very nice person) How did we find Glen? We listed to many many videos online trying to determine who we should hire for our party, then we decided to take a flyer on Glen. So, so glad we did! If you want the BEST, look no further, you found him.

Engagement Party•Reviewed on September 9, 2018•From Roslyn, NY

Glen was spot on. Great guitar soloist. Fantastic voice and great repetoire. The crowd loved him. His in person performance is every bit as good as his demo's. I will be hiring him again for my next occassion.

Thank you for this gracious review, Rob! It was an honor to celebrate your beautiful growing family with you. Congratulations, and enjoy :-) Next time, we play together! Your fan, Glen

Wedding•Reviewed on August 12, 2018•From Durhamville, NY

Everything was absolutely perfect. We had a couple changes from the original plan we had and Glen was able to accommodate us. We had many guests complimenting the music and how beautiful the ceremony was. The way Glen plays is very unique and his spin on the songs is something I enjoy very much. I highly recommend Glen to anyone needing music for any type of event. He is a very versatile musician with endless talent! ??????????
