• Absolutely perfect on all counts: professional, accommodating, amazingly talented! We were very pleased and would recommend SK to our most discerning friends! -- Debra K, Doylestown, PA, 12/10/2011
• We hired Stephen Kleinman to provide background music and set the tone for our company's 25th anniversary cocktail party. He was absolutely amazing. When I arrived to the venue, 45 minutes early, he was already there, set up, ready to go! I thought that the music that I was hearing was piped in, but no, it was Stephen warming up. During the event, our financial advisor pulled out his harmonica and started to jam with Stephen. They were GREAT! Stephen is professional, talented and just a kind person. I would recommend him for any event in which you want to have fabulous guitar music. -- Karla T, Ambler, PA, 9/21/2011

He was extremely accommodating with our song choice and even offered suggestions.The ceremony turned out beautiful with the addition of his music. I would definetely recommend Stephen for this type of event. All of our guests complemented us on the choice of the mandolin for our ceremony. Thank you Stephen! -- Shannon C, Newtown, PA, 9/16/2011
• Stephen was wonderful! We was on time (early) and his performance on the mandolin really added that special touch I was looking for for my wedding serenade. Everyone continued to comment on how wonderful he was and how amazing it was to hear a well played mandolin.

• We had specific versions of the 5 songs we wanted played for our wedding ceremony. I gave Stephen a disk with the exact songs and he was able to find them. The music was excellent. It was a perfect day with the help of our musicians -- Tim E, Horsham, PA, 10/10/2009
• Stephen was able to fulfill a dying wish for a patient. It was a wonderful experience for our patient and family. We would use him again! -- Colleen Z, Wyndmoor, PA, 5/9/2009
• Stephen Kleiman gave our Community (a Senior Living Community) a fabulous performance. He arrived a little early and was ready start at 7 p.m. sharp. He dressed like the old-time bango player with a red-striped shirt, vest and hat. He is a friendly, very interactive performer. He went around the whole room and played special requests at each table. This enabled the visually and hearing impaired residents to actually see the musician and hear the music. The Community was buzzing the next day with everyone talking about the evening. We highly recommend this performer for any senior living environment such as assisted living and skilled nursing. -- Diane M, Newark, DE, 11/14/2008
• Stephen added a beautiful touch to my daughters wedding day. He plays the guitar beautifully. -- Joanne P, Philadelphia, PA, 9/2/2007
