Feedback
- The performance that Christopher Kilday gave my baby on Valentine’s Day was amazing. My sweetheart was very impressed by his talent, professional attitude, and willingness to make the atmosphere as pleasant as possible for her. When I asked her if he was good at what he does she said yes, and was so happy that I could get someone with this type of talent. I am very grateful to have found a performer of this caliber to serenade my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, 2011. Everything from the booking, to the planning that led up to the event was not difficult at all. Christopher’s willingness to accommodate me as a client, and professional attitude made everything a breeze. -- Jorge L, Honolulu, HI, 2/14/2011
- We contacted Chris with a last minute request to play at our wedding and reception. He responded immediately and seemed willing to do whatever it took to make our wedding a success. He was very personable and talented. Our guests enjoyed talking with him between sets, and overall we are very glad that he was a part of our day. Thanks Chris, you did an outstanding job. -- Macrae J, Saint Helena, CA, 10/15/2010
- Christopher Kilday was very accommodating and very easy to work with.
He gave special attention to all details from the very first time we came into contact until after the ceremony and reception.
His guitar playing was superb and it was easy to recognize he is a true professional in every meaning of the word.
Thank you,Christopher for making my daughter's most important day in her life a memorable and joyful one!

- OUTSTANDING!!!!!! -- Gaby O, Newark, CA, 8/29/2009
- Christopher Kilday was exactly the musician we needed to complete the arrangements for an elegant cocktail hour and sit-down dinner at the Cantor Arts Center on the Stanford University campus. I loved listening to his music-artistry in his technique, and his beautiful selection that added so much to the ambiance. He was the right combination of both a professional musician and a personality that led to you to believe you had included him as a new friend. I would recommend him heartily. GigMasters was a terrific way to research and find the right person for our event. -- Gwen A, Palo Alto, CA, 8/14/2009
- Christopher is very gifted musician and artist. He has humbly accepted that gift and cultivated it to an exceptionally high level of the purist form of art. He is very personable and a fine gentleman. We all enjoyed him and his beautiful music. We are looking forward to future events with Christopher Kilday.
