CelebrationReviewed on September 10, 2018From Branford, CT

He was wonderful and was a great addition to our Grandparents Day Luncheon. He took into account the population he was playing for and the layout of the Dining Room. Definitely would have him back to our retirement community again!

Amazing!!! I gave him 2 songs on the radio now and he learned them in less than 2 weeks and it was perfect! Such a great addition to any ceremony. I would highly recommend him. Very quick responding to any questions and concerns. Great experience. Thank you!

WeddingReviewed on September 17, 2018From Hillsdale, NY

Dongbin was very professional and highly talented. He worked with our Rabbi to come up with a list of songs and played them extremely well. He was aware of what was going on during the event with the people and moved to whatever area they were at without me having to ask him. He absolutely made our event very special with his musical accompaniment.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on December 17, 2016From Manchester, CT

Dongbin was fantastic. the guests at the restaurant that weren't of our party were entertained and gave him applause. The wait staff stopped to hear him and my brither and sister in law, whose anniversary we were celebrating are still talking about hi. The songs we requested that he did not know he learned and performed them from memory like he was thoroughly familiar with them. I will ask for him again and have already recommended him to friends. He made the evening memorable. Howard Wood

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 9, 2018From Danbury, CT

Dongbin was amazing! We originally set aside the idea of a violinist for our wedding because the specific songs we wanted played (from a Japanese artist) did not have sheet music available in the US or imported from any source we could find. However, Dongbin was able to transcribe the songs himself for a very reasonable fee (also overall very reasonable rates), and did an incredible job! Dongbin communicated clearly and quickly leading up to the event, and was prompt, professional, polite, and talented with his performance. We would recommend him to anyone and will reach out to him for future special events!

Thank you for your kind review Nathaniel! Congratulations once again, and good luck to you both! -Dongbin

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 28, 2011From Seattle, WA

Dongbin went above and beyond. I really wanted to have a violinist play at my wedding ceremony but didn't know anyone. After calling the Seattle Symphony and finding out they were on vacation, I found gigmasters online. Dongbin was very proactive in helping a non-musical person like myself organize the ceremony music for the wedding. He also worked well with the other musicians (pianist and cantor) to make the music sound amazing on my special day! I couldn't be happier with the results and will recommend Dongbin to anyone needing a violinist!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 5, 2011From Seattle, WA

We were so fortunate to find Dongbin to perform at our wedding. We've had many comments from family and friends about how beautifully he played. He was great at communicating with us before the wedding regarding the schedule and song selections. Overall, he is an extremely talented, professional performer and is also a genuinely nice person.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on August 4, 2012From Tacoma, WA

He was great and talented. He showed up on time and made a lot of effort to organize and create a music list for the event. I wish he would have stood in front of the guests to perform instead of hiding himself in the corner of the room. But it was my fault I didn't specify or request him to do so ahead of time.

Dongbin Shin is really amazing, very professional and very polite. His talent in playing the violin is superb my guest was really surpised. One quoted "it made the party more elegant". It was a very good experience. My wife was extremely happy and pleased that I hired Dongbin.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 24, 2021From Avon, CT

We hired Dongbin to play ceremony music for our son’s wedding. He was extremely accommodating to all of our song requests, was very responsive and proactive, and is an extremely talented musician. He played a beautiful array of prelude, processional and recessional songs and made the outdoor ceremony magical. Highly recommend!!!
