Feedback
- Pat Burke was punctual, pleasant and accomodated our weirdo neighbor who wanted to do a duet with his violin. -- J Philip B, San Diego, CA, 10/29/2011
- Partick could not have been more perfect for our island themed company party. He was very accomodating (part time outside and part time inside) and helpful. His music selections were the ideal background music, setting the ambiance for the entire evening. We look forward to future engagements! -- Shawn G, San Diego, CA, 5/4/2012
- Patrick did a great job! -- Doug P, San Diego, CA, 5/13/2012
- We hired Pat to provide Steel Drum music for our wedding ceremony & following cocktail hour. He was on time, reasonably priced and created the laid back island vibe we were looking for. Some wedding guests were skeptical at first, but Pat's version of Canon in D & the Bridal March were just as beautiful and solemn as any string ensemble and twice as rich & robust as any PA system playback of a recorded track. Everyone loved it! Pat was cool & fun and his music was awesome. Were so glad we hired him & highly recommend him to anyone looking to add live music to their special event. We can't wait to plan another event so we can hire him again. -- Ron T, San Diego, CA, 1/2/2010
- Patrick Burke was amazing. He is extremely talented, and had great ideas when I asked for recommendations of songs to play at my wedding. He always got back to me via email or by phone in a timely manner, and did an absolutely wonderful job at my wedding! -- Katherine M, San Diego, CA, 8/15/2009
- We were extremely satisfied with Patrick Burke and would definately use him again in the future. He arrived early and play longer than our contracted agreement. Everyone loved the music and many wanted his information for future events. Thank you Patrick! You made our 25th Wedding Anniversary even more enjoyable! Dave & Crystal Temecula -- Crystal K, Temecula, CA, 9/5/2009
- Patrick is great - we listened to him performing solo at a local site and immediately confirmed him to play at our birthday party at our home. Patrick suggested that we include Jim Gibson (guitar and vocals) to perform with him - a fantastic recommendation that enriched our musical entertainment greatly. And, after the party was officially over, Patrick and Jim joined with the remaining guests and provided song and piano music for our enjoyment. I would engage Patrick and Jim again in a heart beat! -- Gary M, Solana Beach, CA, 7/22/2010
- Patrick was so easy to work with before our wedding ceremony. He made it clear that he enjoys performing at weddings. He did a great job at the wedding - we got many comments from our guests about Patrick - they all loved his music! I would hire him again for another event and recommend him to others. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job Patrick! -- Deanna B, San Diego, CA, 5/25/2008

- Patrick was a joy to work with. He made our hectic planning for a large event so easy! I definitely would not only recommend Patrick to others, I would use him again. He's talented, kind and very professional. We enjoyed him greatly at our event. -- Alyssa A, La Jolla, CA, 12/12/2007
- Patrick was wonderful! He was so professional and accomodating. Our event took place at a San Diego County Court House therefore his music required a certain level of tact and respect regarding the noise level... and Patrick was "right on!" He was a hit, he sounded fabulous and I received numerous positive comments from those who attended about his music/talent(and they asked for his business card to use him for their future events)! THANKS PAT...we will use you again in the near future! -- Tina T, San Diego, CA, 11/15/2007
- I hired Patrick for a birthday party and never once had any negative issues with him. He arrived early, introduced himself to me and my father, and set up. He played well, and over the course of the night and the following days I received many compliments on his music and the wonderful atmosphere it provided. It was perfect for our event, and would definitely hire him again. -- Deanna A, Chula Vista, CA, 6/14/2008
- Patrick and Jim were excellent. They were very professional at all times and very helpful leading up to our event. I would work with them again on the kind of venue. -- Linnea Z, San Diego, CA, 10/21/2007
- There was a 80% feedback from all of the guest commenting on how much they enjoyed Patrick and his music. He was very professional, prompt and talented. We weren't sure what kind of music to have for a couples shower but when he first started playing, we knew we made the right choice.
We will definitely be booking him in the near future. -- Felissa B, San Diego, CA, 10/20/2007
- Patrick has been playing for our 2007 Summer Friday night parties at the Rancho Bernardo Inn and we have heard nothing but great comments from our resort guests and employees. Everybody loves his music. The music creates the perfect tropical feel we wanted to have for our Aloha Nights parties.
I would 100% recommend Patrick to all of my friends. He is very flexible and easy to work with. The Rancho Bernardo Inn definitely wants to use him again in the future. -- Kristy B, San Diego, CA, 6/1/2007
- Very personable and accomodating. My guests really enjoyed him. Money well spent. -- Heather R, El Cajon, CA, 8/18/2007
- Patrick was great. He was on time and fully self contained, meaning he didn't need us for anything more than "where do I set up?" I highly recommend Patrick if you want that cool island sound for your event. He was also faced with a challenging community member issues which he handled with style and grace, which was much appreciated. Great job. -- Steve D, Solana Beach, CA, 6/16/2007
- Patrick was on time, played great music, and was a pleasure to have at our event (post wedding party). We'll definitely be using him again in the future. -- Stan F, San Diego, CA, 3/24/2007
