Review by Marcy S.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 14, 2023•From Seattle, WA

Barry was terrific! He was responsive and punctual and never gave us an instant of uncertainty. His music selection was great, and he was in a tough location. It took a while for our guests to discover our "downstairs" area, but once they did, they sat and relaxed and enjoyed the lovely ambiance of the space, perfectly accompanied by Barry's music. We would hire him again in a second!

Barry was absolutely incredible. From first contact to the day of the event he was easy to communicate and work with. He is a fantastic musician and did a great job of reading the crowd. I couldn’t be more grateful for the fact that he went above and beyond in so many aspects of the evening. My guests also thoroughly enjoyed having him there. By the end he was part of the family. I would definitely look to book with him again.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 21, 2019•From Seattle, WA

We were thrilled with Barry. He was incredibly easy to work with, nailed the vibe we were going for with minimal input, and was an excellent musician. Our event would not have been the same without Barry and many people had positive comments about him.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 25, 2017•From Woodinville, WA

Barry was great, a perfect choice for my mom's 70th birthday party with close family and friends. His selection of music matched the likes of almost everyone in attendance. Barry is very personable and most everyone wandered over to chat with him in admiration of his talent. I would strongly recommend Barry for any event.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 28, 2015•From Bremerton, WA

Barry was amazing to work with for our wedding! He was one of our least stressful vendors to deal with. After talking initially about what we wanted we met a couple of months out from the wedding to go over our requested set list for the wedding and cocktail hour and while almost all the songs we picked were from his repertoire he was totally willing to learn a couple of new songs for us. Meeting with him was effortless and his performance at the wedding ceremony was amazing - including working with 3 family members who sang a song. We also had great feedback from our guests for the cocktail hour and from our DJ and wedding coordinator. Thank you so much Barry!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 27, 2013•From Poulsbo, WA

We are so happy that Barry Pollack played at our wedding. Not only was he an extremely talented musician, but he was incredibly accommodating and went out of his way to be sure that the music was exactly what we wanted. On a personal note he was friendly, warm and enjoyable. Barry was a delightful addition to our small garden wedding and we are indebted to him for being one of the reasons it was such a wonderful day. It turned out to be such a lovely wedding, and Barry is a big part of the reason why. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks so much, Barry!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 15, 2019•From Seattle, WA

We booked Barry for our anniversary party and he was amazing in every way. We were late with our planning, and it was helpful that Barry responded quickly to our initial inquiry. Our event took place at a restaurant, and he had his own portable equipment, which eased coordination with the venue. He was prompt and playing as the guests arrived. He took requests for pop adaptations, in addition to classical and Spanish pieces, and our guests were thrilled. My only regret is that I had to socialize with guests and couldn't just listen to him play. He is an incredibly talented and accomplished professional musician, and we were lucky to have had him at our party.

Barry was fantastic, dependable, and incredibly professional. Very easy to talk to and great personality. Would recommend him to anyone having a corporate event, and any other, as well!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 9, 2019•From Tacoma, WA

Barry played wonderful music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He has an amazing repertoire already but was willing to play a song for us that wasn't on his list and it was done beautifully. He is an excellent guitarist with a lot of talent. He was very professional from his promptness, excellent followup and even his attire- all perfect! We highly recommend him and will tell all our friends for future events that he's the guy for the job. Thank you Barry!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 11, 2013•From Gig Harbor, WA

Barry was excellent! He is a well-experienced pro and was very reliable. He came prepared, on time, and his playing was beautiful. He played our wedding ceremony and a cocktail hour afterward and everybody loved hearing the music. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a classical guitar player to play at their wedding ceremony.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 30, 2019•From Leavenworth, WA

Barry is incredible! He played for our outdoor wedding ceremony and indoor cocktail hour. From beginning to end, Barry was professional, kind, helpful, and flexible. He has a huge repertoire of songs that cover practically every genre, and he even offered to learn a new song for our processional! We discussed what songs in general we would like then Barry and his expertise created the rest of the set, and we heard SO many great things! He was fully prepared when it came to set-up, timing, and organization. I knew we were in good hands! We will absolutely love to have Barry attend any other events we have. Thank you for making our wedding perfect!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 21, 2012•From Seattle, WA

We were so pleased to have Barry playing at our wedding! He was incredibly accommodating and flexible, helping us plan the flow of our ceremony and graciously allowing us to utilize his mic and amplifier. The "setlist" he helped us put together was beautiful and a great fit for the event. Very professional from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend Barry to anyone!

Private Party•Reviewed on February 19, 2011•From Seattle, WA

Barry was an absolute joy to have in my home. He was personable, punctual, talented, and professional. I can't hope to get much more from a musician than that. If I ever need an acoustic guitarist again in Seattle, Barry will be that person.

Community Event•Reviewed on July 15, 2013•From Seattle, WA

Barry was a wonderful addition to our garden party event - his music was light, fun, and added a fresh feel and ambiance. We hope to work with Barry again in the future.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 6, 2013•From Leavenworth, WA

We couldn't have been happier with Barry, who played for our wedding. We asked him to play Harvest Moon for the unity candle portion of our ceremony, it wasn't in his listed repertoire but he learned it and played it beautifully. The rest of the time he sounded great, took a range of requests while we were mingling before and after the ceremony, all to great satisfaction, even did an impromptu duet with my grandfather at the urging of a few of my family members that will be a great memory of the weekend. We highly recommend him.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 17, 2010•From Seattle, WA

Barry did a wonderful job. He completely changed the atmosphere of the party. Normally our associates are a bit awkward at events, he put everyone at ease. He played lovely music and accomodated every request. The COO and Owner of the company was especially impressed. I would definitely hire him for any future event that requires music.
