Feedback
- I asked Victor if he could perform two gigs on the same day because he had an afternoon and he said he could and not only could he but he knocked it out of the park! Many guests asked me "Where did you find this guy? He's great!" And this was after he performed the wedding and drove 60 miles to my party. I would highly recommend Victor to anyone considering entertainment for their party and I cannot stress this enough! Thanks again, Victor, it was great! -- Mike J, Tinley Park, IL, 10/1/2011
- If I could give Victor 10 stars I would. I can't say enough nice things about him. I can say, if you hire him to play your event, you and your guests will be treated to a very professional, talented and kind hearted soul who obviously loves what he does. His voice and ear are exceptional, his demeanor is unobtrusive and kind and overall very professional. He played my mother's 65 birthday party and everyone (I mean everyone) came up to me (and Victor) and said how impressed they were with his performance. He made the event that much more special. It made me happy to see everyone enjoying the music so much and singing along. Beautiful voice and a beuatiful person. -- Deanna P, Schaumburg, IL, 8/30/2008
- We couldn't have been more pleased with selecting Victor to play at Brad's 50th celebration. I found this site the day before (yes, 1 day before) the event. Victor contacted me and let us know of his availability. Seeing his high marks on the Gigmaster site, I felt pretty confident. He made the afternoon celebration an event to remember and considering the crowd loves 70s music, Victor played our requested songs to remind us of those wonderful times in our life. I had so many inquiries from friends and guests that I feel I could be his agent. Thanks again for connecting us with a great musician and kind soul. Sincerely, Karen R -- Karen R, Grayslake, IL, 5/10/2008
- Me and my siblings hired Victor Fox for our parents anniversary party held at a members only upscale club in Milwaukee. He arrived well ahead of the scheduled start time, dressed for the occassion, to test all his equipment and to discuss the play list. We had never hired a performer before and bringing someone to something so special without really knowing much about them was scary; lets just say we were more than pleasantly surprised. Victor's guitar skills and his voice are amazing and he played to the crowd. I had several guests, and the general manager of the club, inquire about his business card. He made the night that much more special and great. Thanks! -- Jill B, Milwaukee, WI, 11/10/2007
- Victor was absolutely fantastic; from initial contact, to song selection, to playing our post-wedding ceremony event which was held in a small, private room at a local restaurant. The space was intimate and romantic, and Victor pitched his voice perfectly for the venue! The songs were those that everyone knew and loved (some guests even sang along!), and Victor even played a special request for my parents which added a special touch to our event! But if all of Victor's special attention wasn't enough, he allowed my father-in-law to borrow his guitar to play a song he'd written for us! WOW! A big THANK YOU to Victor for making our evening so special. -- Michelle T, Long Grove, IL, 9/10/2010
- Victor is a great musician and a really nice guy as well. His music was the hit of our garden party. If you like 60's and 70's classic rock, he has around 200 of the best hits from that era to choose from. He knows how to pace a party well with soft hits mixed with hard rocking. He also bring extra mics for sing-along's, which were very fun. After the police arrived to quiet down our late party (we ran almost two hours long and Victor said he would stay as late as we wanted!), he put away the amps and strummed softly for another half hour. People were raving about him that night and the day after. I would definitely have Victor back again and highly recommend him. -- Mike W, Hinsdale, IL, 9/16/2011
- Victor was there early and offered to play on the pontoon boat as we drove around the lake. After dinner he played for several hours on the deck and he was GREAT. His preformance was outside and several neighbors stopped by and they all loved his playing and singing. He has a wide variety of artists he plays and does them all very well. Best way to describe Victor: HE'S GOOD !!!!! -- Fred L, Westfield, WI, 8/23/2008
- Our outdoor venue, a community picnic, was a wonderful setting for the mellow sound of Victor Fox. He is an amazingly talented, and thoroughly professional performer. He came early to set up his sound system, and to do a sound check, and once he started singing, our friends and neighbors were nearly gushing with compliments. Everyone loved him and his selection of music for our event. One couple told me it was like going to Ravinia - sitting in a grove of trees and listening to fantastic music. I would definitely recommend Victor Fox for anyone's special event. -- Jean S, Ingleside, IL, 8/21/2010
- Victor was perfect for our event. He was plenty early and ready to go about 45 minutes before the party started. He was polite and friendly. He adapted perfectly to our event. I didn't hear one complaint - quite the contrary, I had many people asking "How did you find this guy?" Comments about him where 100% positive from everybody. He went way beyond my expectations in the music he played and in his focus while he was there. He jumped from one song to another without skipping a beat all through the night. I would highly recommend him and we are definately going to keep him in mind for future events of our own. Thanks Victor! -- Jean J, Milwaukee, WI, 4/17/2010
- Victor was perfect from the beginning. When you are going to engage someone to perform for a special occasion, you never know what is going to happen. Victor is responsive. He responded to my request quickly, he was easy to get ahold of by phone. He was willing to change start times, play longer if needed. Another great thing, he has all his own equipment and the sound was great. He was very easy to work with. Then the day came, he was on time, looked terrific, and has THE BEST voice. He played many songs by request and we sang along. He is a five star guy!! I would recommend him to everyone. Thanks Victor for making our event an evening to remember! -- Linda G, Lake Geneva, WI, 8/7/2010
- Victor was FANTASTIC!! He is an amazing performer and all our guests commented on how talented he is! The music selections were great and he really knew how to adjust to the mood of the party. At one point in the evening people were circled around him singing their hearts out! He was great, we are definitely going to request him for our future events. Thanks Victor!! -- Brenda W, Algonquin, IL, 12/5/2009
- Victor performed for our daughter's high school graduation party at a restaurant. He did an excellent job and was very professional. He came early to set up and began playing earlier than asked. He played a variety of music and met the requests of all the guests. We received lots of compliments from our guests who thoroughly enjoyed his music. He rarely took a break and at the end of the night played an extra 1/2 hour as he saw the kids were all dancing and singing along. He played at a volume that was perfect for us to talk yet enjoy his sound. I would highly recommend Victor. -- Diana K, Forest Park, IL, 6/20/2009
- Our family is so pleased with how our parent's 50th wedding anniversary party went and Victor's performance played an enormouse role in it's success. He arrived over 2 hours earlier than our event and played for nearly 3 hours although we had only paid to have him play for 2. To the guests delight, he performed every request. The overwhelming concensus was that Victor's voice sounded just like the artist's he covered. When the party moved outdoors, so did he. He is a consumate gentleman, performer, & accomodated us in every way possible. We would recomend him highly to anyone interested in having a live performer play their event. Sincerely, Brad from Indiana -- Brad H, Bean Blossom, IN, 5/24/2009
- WOW, what a GREAT TIME!!! Victor made my New Year’s Eve party a Fantastic event for my family and friends! Right from the start Victor communicated with me about the party, any questions or special requests that I may have had and that was greatly appreciated. We had a small group of 25 or so (ages 25 to 60) and he mingled with everyone, getting to know us and quickly recognizing the music we enjoyed the most. We all danced and sang along with the extra microphone that he provided (nice treat). His play list is amazing! So many songs and he does them all so well!!!! My friends and family are still talking about Victor and how well he performed!! Thanks Victor! -- Debbie S, Warsaw, IN, 12/31/2011
- Absolutely Fabulous! Victor exceeded every expectation I could have possibly imagined. He even took the time to learn a new song for my husbands birthday party. His rendition of James Taylor's "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You" was simply wonderful. Victor arrived early which was a godsend. My decorator didn't show up. While I was mid-meltdown he kept his cool and pitched in to help me decorate. One of my guests is an event planner who was so impressed he plans to use Victor at upcoming events. I couldn't have asked for more in his performance or professionalism. I can't wait to have another party and enjoy his music once again. -- Robin M, Chicago, IL, 8/1/2009
- I first heard Victor sing at a pub several months ago and decided I had to create a 70's party around his talents (husband's 40th birthday). He was very courteous, timely and professional throughout the entire process and made my party a success. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any occasion for people of all ages. I received alot of great comments from my guests as well. I truly appreciated having the opportunity for Victor to jam at my party! Thank you!! -- Kelly S, Dearborn Heights, MI, 9/11/2010
- I booked Victor to perform at my husband's 50th birthday party. Victor exceeded our expectations. He did an incredible job. He arrived early to setup and do a sound check. Victor was very accommodating to our guest's requests and even had an additional microphone setup, so people could sing with him. I had several guests ask me "how did you find the singer, he's great". Victor's soulful voice and guitar playing is amazing. BIG thank you to Victor!! You made our party even more memorable. -- Teri E, Long Grove, IL, 10/22/2011
- Victor was amazing, his Performance was perfect and his voice amazing. He was extremely easy to work with and all of our guests from young to older raved about how much they enjoyed listening. I would highly recommend victor for any event if you are looking for entertaining, easy listening, GREAT music. -- Amy H, Glencoe, IL, 10/1/2011
- Victor was a pleasure to work with. His music made our daughter's engagement party even more special. He arrived early, he stayed late, and was a professional from start to finish. His musical ability is a true gift! Even the "20 somethings" sat close by to listen to him play. I look forward to hosting another event. I know who will be playing the music! -- Jayma S, Chicago, IL, 2/13/2010
- Vic was extremely professional, easy to work with and talented. We loved him, our family and friends loved him, and our wedding guests raved about the music. Not only was he very nice and easygoing to work with, but his music was beautifully done. When we heard his samples on the internet, we feel in love with his style and his voice. And when he started playing at our wedding he sounded even better. Vic also went above and beyond- learning a new song that we requested, driving six hours to get to us, dedicating a song to us as a couple, and accommodating our family when they wanted to make toasts and announcements. We are so happy that we chose Vic for our wedding! -- Katie S, Kalamazoo, MI, 8/13/2011
- I found Victor Fox for our wedding reception on Gigmasters with no prior knowledge of his abilities. He was fantastic! We had a lot of unusual requests including having our nieces sing a song that he would play. He agreed to meet early and rehearsed and even learned some new songs for us that we requested. Victor Fox recieved many compliments from our guests. He was a great performer and very accompdating. He was perfect and I recommend him for any event.
John Matheson -- John M, Racine, WI, 7/14/2007
- Victor was perfect for our party. We did not want a big, loud band that would interfere with our guests being social. We wanted pleasant music that our guests of all ages could enjoy without being overwhelming. He was just that. He came totally prepared with our requests. He was early, friendly with all, and very polite. I was asked a gazillion times where I found him. We would definitely hire him again. -- Irene M, Augusta, MO, 7/10/2010
- Victor was extermely accommodating- from timeline, song choice, and personal commitment to making the evening a hug success. I would highly recommend Victor for your next gathering, he is a very talented person. -- Holly E, Appleton, WI, 10/8/2011
- The torrential rain that passed through here on the morning of the picnic and the ensuing forecast had us all worried. Victor called early, to see if there were going to be any problems. He assured us that he would be accommodating and flexible.We discussed our worst case scenario,which would have him playing "unplugged" in the center of our big tent.Happily,there was no need to worry. The sun came out,picnickers arrived, and we had a wonderful day.The music was just right for our venue,mellow,and familiar.Requests were honored,even without sheet music,and Victor gave us an A plus show.He is a very talented, professional musician,and we would all recommend him highly -- Jean S, Ingleside, IL, 8/20/2011

Victor was perfect and he helped make for an overall perfect evening. Many, many people commented on how good Victor was. We would hire him again without question. -- Sue R, Chicago, IL, 7/2/2010
- Victor exceeded all my expectations, helping make a special birthday gathering very memorable. Our guests enjoyed making requests and enjoyed his wide knowledge of music. He set the tone for a relaxed afternoon. Many of our guests left their tables and formed a line of chairs for concert listening. Victor was totally professional in his renditions of 70s hits. His Neil Diamond and Gordon Lightfoot songs were particular hits. Highly recommend. -- Jim S, Libertyville, IL, 7/24/2010

The live entertainment definitely made the party a success. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to friends.
Bernadette Campbell -- Bernadette C, Woodridge, IL, 3/28/2008
- Victor, as he promised he would, exceeded our expectations. He was a big hit at the surprise anniversary party I held for my wife. Our guests loved him! I had requested in advance that he play a certain song for us that had special meaning on our anniversary. He didn't have time to learn it, but totally on his own, he found the song on a CD and brought it to our party to play - an extra mile that we really appreciated. We will definitely have him entertain for us again. We highly recommend him! -- Randy M, Palatine, IL, 8/27/2008
- VICTOR FOX DID A FANTASTIC JOB FOR US AT OUR SHOWER LAST SATURDAY, SEPT. 20, 2008. I WAS UNSURE BECAUSE WE WANTED SOMEONE TO PLAY JIMMY BUFFET SONGS. BUT GLAD I DIDN'T CHANGE MY MIND. THE CROWD LOVED EVERY MINUTE AND SO DID I. I WILL CERTAINLY BOOK HIM AGAIN WITHOUT LOOKING ELSEWHERE. THANKS AGAIN, PATSY LAMORE AND CHRIS LAMORE PS- HE HAS AN AMAZING VOICE, WHICH REMINDED ME OF KENNY ROGERS AND WAS SO PLEASANT!! AGAIN THANKS -- Chris L, Chicago, IL, 9/20/2008
- We had Victor entertain for a Party. He did a great job! He played background for early evening conversations and created a party atmosphere later when the party livened up. Victor was professional, showed up on time and was mindful of the evening. Victor has a good voice, knew his material, and everyone enjoyed his performance. I would recommend him! -- Doug H, Mazon, IL, 12/31/2006
- I booked Victor for a combination Bday/ Freedom celebration. He was very easy to work with and the level of communication and professionalism we received was great. He arrived early to set up and was ready to perform when our guests arrived. Victor has a wonderful voice, knows his material, and provided the extra special touch we were looking for at our celebration. I felt bad for my guests that I had to turn on the radio after his performance. The songs Victor performed for us were perfect for the folksy americana theme we were going for. Thanks, Victor! We won't hesitate to call you again if the opportunity or need arises. Theresa -- Theresa A, Fisher, IL, 7/3/2010
