  • Bill was wonderful! He played at our wedding ceremony & reception and was amazing! He set a wonderful tone for the night and all of our guests raved about him. He was super accommodating- meeting all of my requests and then some. I would recommend Bill to anyone! He was also very reliable, quick to respond and professional. Thanks Bill for making our night so special! -- Dena S, Pittsburgh, PA, 3/31/2012

  • Bill Young did everything we asked for and more. Everyone enjoyed being there and loved how for each different song he would change his voice to try and match the performer who sung it. He has true talent and i would recommend him to anyone for big or small parties. -- Brian L, Northern Cambria, PA, 12/20/2011
  • I am very glad I chose Bill Young to perform at my wedding. He dressed and acted very professionally. He did a good job announcing everything I wanted him to announce for my wedding. He was very polite and easy to get along with. His singing and guitar playing was amazing. He is truly very talented. He knows many songs, many of which are very different from each other, and does all of them extremely well. HE DOES THE BEST COVERS I HAVE EVER HEARD. He sounds exactly like many different famous performers on different songs. I was given many compliments by guests on how good the performer was. YOU HAVE TO HIRE THIS PERFORMER!!! YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW GOOD HE IS!!! -- Debbie L, Canonsburg, PA, 9/2/2011
