- Hal was such a pleasure to deal with from the very start. I felt confident that I was dealing with a true professional. His talent is beyond great and everyone at my party, of ALL ages, just loved him. I was getting requests for him to stay longer than originally scheduled. In addition to that, I got so many comments about what a nice guy he was. I agree! I would not hesitate to hire him again for a party and hope I get the opportunity to. Hal's awesome! I am so glad I found him on gigmasters. -- Jackie P, Brick, NJ, 8/21/2010
- Hal was extremely reliable and accommodating thru the entire process, from booking to performance. He always returned my phone calls same day and was very understanding when we had to make some changes prior to our event due to unforeseen circumstances.
Our outdoor party of 25 people were all impressed with his musical talent and enjoyed his song selections. They all asked where I found him and many expressed interest in hiring him. His volume was just right so we could still hold conversations and enjoy the music. I would certainly use Hal again and we've already discussed that possibility for next summer. Thanks again Hal! -- Dennis S, Montville, NJ, 8/28/2010
- I could not be any more thrilled with Hal Aaron. Aside from his genre being perfect for our event he played extremely well and has a great voice. His volume was perfect for the area and he worked really well with the guests. I truly appreciate the way he timed his breaks with the other activities of the party and put on great fill in music when he wasn't playing. Well done Hal and thank you very much!!! -- Craig L, Toms River, NJ, 7/31/2010
- Hal drove HOURS on a summer Saturday to the shore for our wedding and was just fantastic! Our guests have been talking about him ever since. -- Lori S, Surf City, NJ, 7/24/2010
- I was able to confirm Hal less than a week before my daughters Luau party. He was so accomodating and so professional. His music surpassed what I would have thought and played so many great tunes. All ages ranging from 2-75 enjoyed the mix of music. I am looking forward to having Hal come back soon for another gig. You will not be dissapointed. You are getting a very well rounded performer.
Thank you again Hal,,,you made this Luaua a memorable one!! -- Karen M, Wenonah, NJ, 7/17/2010

- Hal was great. He was punctual and professional, and his music was fantastic. He was a great fit for a Caribbean celebration, and his choice of music was perfect. He even came back early from a set break to sing Happy Birthday to the guest of honor, not hesitating a moment. By the end of the night, everyone was singing along with Hal and dancing. I would definitely recomend Hal and Gigmasters for making party planning easy and fun. -- Matt M, Norristown, PA, 2/23/2008

After the initial booking, I contacted Hal several times prior to the party and I was able to talk to him every time. I discussed with him what I wanted for the party and he did that and more. He was very professional, arrived on time, played everything we wanted to hear and was a great entertainer. My guests ranged in age from 30's to 70's and Hal played something for everyone. I would definitely recommend him and will use him in the future.

- OMG Hal was unbelievable and I would recommend him in a minute. My husband and I threw my daughter Lauren a college graduation pool party on Labor Day weekend and we wanted the theme to have a very laid back feel to it yet still have that great party atmosphere as well. Hal sure came through. He played an outstanding mix of Reggae, Caribbean and Jimmy Buffett music, he sounds awsome. My daughter was extremely happy. Thank you Hal you made her party one she will never forget, Our friends, family and neighbors had the best time.

- We tried something different at our restaurant and Hal played the music we were looking for. Sound and vocals were great. -- Marge H, Marlton, NJ, 8/31/2006
- Hal will be coming back. Our customers (and staff) LOVED him! We would like to set up a regular gig with him. I was a little worried when I looked at the song list, how one person could pull off so much variety - but he did it, and then some. He performed his own variations of some classics and gave them a Reggae twist, and they were everyone's favorites. I was looking for strictly a "Reggae" player, but got SO much more, and glad I did. -- J.k. A, Princeton, ME, 8/12/2006
- Hal was great, now over a month later I still have people asking me who he was and how they could contact him if they ever needed to. My event was a surprise anniversary party for my grandparents, aside from them being surprised they loved Hal. That is the only thing my grandfather keeps talking about. "Wow, that music was great, it was really a good idea" he says. Thank You Hal!! -- Stacy C, Pennsville, NJ, 2/17/2008
- We were very happy with Hal and would highly recommend him to anyone. It ended up being a beautiful day so he sang on our back deck. We all felt like we were on an island with all the regge and Jimmy Buffet song selection. Everyone at the party was asking where we found him. -- Lynne B, Wilmington, DE, 5/3/2008
- Hal was great! The party was so entertaining thanks to him. All my guests loved him and his music. He was definitely the hit of the party and what everyone talked about. Thanks Hal for making my daughter's day so special. -- Nicole S, Medford, NJ, 4/5/2008
