"Tom Bruhl is amazing. He's talented beyond words... Tom played live music for the ceremony, and did a combination of live/DJ music during the reception. His ability to keep guests on the dance floor is brilliant, and his diverse music choices pleased all age ranges. So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night asking where we found him... they LOVED him almost as much as we did! Thanks, Tom, for helping to make our wedding so memorable!"

"Tom Bruhl really made our wedding happen! I gave him a pretty rare list of songs to play and he made it work! Truly an unbelievable experience and everyone from the wedding asked me where I found him. He even stayed later for us on short notice. Couldn't and wouldn't change a thing and had an absolute best. Thank you Tom!

"Tom truly is a one man band, and a true talent, a rare gem in the wedding DJ business. He will learn songs for you, plays several instruments during cocktail hour and dinner, and will pick the perfect late night sing-a-long that will bring down the house. As the wedding was drawing to a close the last thing we heard from our guest was them chanting, "ONE MORE SONG, ONE MORE SONG..." We are still hearing from our guests, and heard several times during the wedding, how incredible Tom was as a musician and a DJ. Tom is a great emcee as well, and will make your wedding day flow with perfection. Thanks Tom!"

I would say over half of my guests commented on his amazing talent performing as well as how good of a DJ he was. With Tom, you get the benefit of a live band and a great DJ and way less than you'd pay for either. I can't recommend Tom highly enough!"

"We booked Tom for our recent wedding, to perform both at our ceremony & reception. Not only did he play a great acoustic guitar, he learned 2 songs that we requested for the ceremony. We gave Tom the artistic freedom to play flute/guitar during the cocktail and he did not disappoint. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had nothing but good things to say about Tom. We met with Tom and instantly knew he was our guy. After a quick meeting at his house, everything else was done via email, which was easy. If you are looking for someone to not just play CDs, but to also perform using a variety of instruments for your event, Tom is your man."

"After reading the ratings and feedbacks of various DJs we contacted Tom for more information and a bid. Within an hour or two Tom had replied with a bid, and immediately began to answer questions we had about music, whats included in his bid, etc. Between his talents as a DJ and musician, his professionalism, and the feedback on the GigMasters website we decided to go with Tom as our wedding DJ. We were not disappointed, neither were our guests. Tom did a great job of playing the songs we wanted to hear, along with reading the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor. Everyone loved Tom and wanted to know where we found such a gem of a DJ. "

"Our decision to contract with Tom was based on his website and dialogue over email. We felt comfortable with his manner and attention to our questions. Performing to a reception of guests that consisted of many professional musicians and artists amongst other music lovers, Tom gave us the gift of live music (which is preferred) and familiar arrangements for our guests to dance the night away! As a special request, he also played emcee (most elegantly) for our Tea Ceremony and assisted the Chinese Dance Troupe & musician with their audio needs. Our guests took the time to tell us what a wonderful DJ & live music blend he provided."

Our guests were very impressed by his talent and at one point when I looked up, I was shocked to see he was performing live because it was so much like the original. The crowd danced all night long and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. He is friendly, professional and immensely talented. Definitely more than just a DJ.

Dont waste your money on just a person to spin Tunes. Tom Plays LIVE and socializes when roaming the Room with his Saxaphone. I totally recommend having him play the Wedding March with his classical flute, that was so beautiful as I watched My beautiful Bride walking up the aisle to me! Thanks so Much Tom!"

"Tom is just fantastic. We watched him "in action" at another event and knew immediately from his versatility and great personality that we wanted him for our wedding. He was a joy to work with and very accomodating to our special requests for our ceremony and reception. In fact, a family emergency caused us to postpone our wedding at the absolute last minute and Tom was so considerate, so accomodating, helping us try to work out several different options. And his concern for our family was genuine, thoughtful and very much appreciated. We will use Tom again and recommend him highly to all our friends and family!"

Tom really took the time to learn about us and our needs, reviewing every aspect of our event. We selected some pieces but asked Tom to apply his experience and expertise to arrange the evening's repertoire. We and our guests thoroughly enjoyed our cultural favorites interwoven with American selections. In addition, Tom delighted us all with an amazing live performance on a range of instruments. He was very sensitive to the mood of the moment, creating a truly unique and memorable experience. We look forward to working with Tom again"

"Tom Bruhl was fabulous. When you hire Tom you get so much more than a DJ. Tom was hired on the Tuesday evening before our Saturday night event. The DJ company that had been hired turned out to be big corporate, with no clue about us or what we wanted for our wedding, even missing a phone appointment set at for their convenience. Tom Bruhl was so different. He cared.
Tom spent time with us Tuesday evening and went over every detail. He was meticulous asking all the right questions and writing down all the answers. He patiently went over song requests and made great suggestions too. The evening was fun and Tom made us very confident our wedding would be a success.
When Tom showed up we realized we had so much more than a DJ. Tom kept everything on schedule, was low key and appropriate as well as attentive and professional in every way. The best part was Tom is a great performer too. He played the saxophone, flute, and guitar along to his own music. Tom sang along to his music too. He put on a great show during dinner, playing and singing songs including many genres.
Our guests loved Tom. How could they not? They wanted to know how we found him. At the end of the evening many guests got his business card for their future events. While we may not be having another wedding, we will absolutely use Tom for our future events.

"Tom was excellent. Not only was he able and willing to do everything we requested, including learning an acoustic song for the ceremony, but he was extremely open and enthusiastic about our input. During the reception he knew exactly which of our requests to perform and when to play them based on the mood. Just a unique class act and in no way "hacky". He is extremely talented and professional but more importantly just a really nice guy. And the best part is the value! You get the best qualities of a live band, dj, and classical musician all in one for a great price. "

"Overall, superb job. Talented & versatile, Tom is the ideal DJ for any wedding or occasion for that matter - my wife & I hired him for our wedding and were more than pleased with his performance. For rather than simply obtaining a DJ, his clients also receive a talented musician who can both sing and play multiple instruments. With Tom, you receive, in Boston parlance, "bang for our buck." As for constructive criticism, Tom could speak more clearly (?) when delivering his announcements that were all made at the request of the bride. That said, weddings are rowdy affairs, making his job more complicated & difficult but something to improve. Great job, Thanks. "

"Tom was absolutely excellent. We had a non-traditional ceremony and Tom jumped in without hesitation, even arranging an accompaniment for the processional and performing it perfectly.
Tom is great on the mic MC-ing while not being too chatty as some DJs/Singers are wont to do. He got everyone dancing within minutes of dinner being finished and played every song we requested without fail, even wandering from table to table with his sax for a tune or two. Suffice it to say, we received many compliments on behalf of Tom all night long.
Bottom line: Tom is professional, trustworthy, talented, entertaining and more than worth every penny of his fee."

People kept filtering out of the other event (where there was a band), and congregating behind the fence at ours just to listen to Tom's music. He was loved by every age group.

He was very professional and the best MC for our santa gift exchange, musical yankee swap, and our grace .
Everyone commented on his musical talents with all the instruments he played during the afternoon. Most guests said" let's book him for next year!"..I guess that is the highest compliment!

"Tom was fantastic!! We wanted to have the experience of a live performance without the added cost of a band while still being able to have a DJ for late night dancing. Tom was the perfect fit! He has a great voice and is talented on a number of different instruments. He had a huge catalog of songs he could preform and did them all so well.
He was first to show up at our venue and was prepared for anything. Our wedding was outdoors and Tom and a great setup for both the ceremony and the dance floor.
When the reception switched to party mode...Tom was ready to go with all the hits both classic and new. I would recommend him to everyone! Thanks, Tom!!!"

At one point during our reception he was wandering among the tables playing the tenor saxophone while his DJ equipment played the background beat. It was incredible to see and all of our guests were blown away. Tom is an amazing DJ and an incredible performer.
The music selection was inspired, both for during the reception while we were eating, and once everyone was ready to start dancing. Everyone had a wonderful and could not stop talking about how wonderful a DJ & musician Tom was.

We were a bit late in booking a DJ so felt lucky to book Tom when we did. He was VERY accommodating and helpful, mostly via email but also on phone calls, leading up the big day on every detail. His professionalism and willingness to customize our event was perfect. And then of course his performance was truly outstanding. Tom played or sang along to so many great classics that you honestly couldn't tell his voice from Sinatra. But once dancing started he was the perfect DJ. Just perfect. Trust me, book him if you can!
