Perfect Surprise!

WOW. BRIAN CAME TO OUR SMALL, INTIMATE WEDDING CEREMONY ON NEW YEAR'S EVE. HE PLAYED THE PART OF A VENUE STAFF THROUGHOUT THE PHOTOS AND CEREMONY - BECAUSE HE WAS A SURPRISE PERFORMER AT THE END! HE HAD ARRANGED WITH MY HUSBAND TO PLAY AN ACOUSTIC RENDITION OF ED SHEERAN'S 'PERFECT' DIRECTLY FOLLOWING OUR CEREMONY AS A SURPRISE - AND IT WAS MAGICAL. APART FROM BEING A GOOD SPORT AND BLENDING IN WITH THE VENUE STAFF SO AS NOT TO RUIN THE SURPRISE, BRIAN'S RENDITION WAS BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTFELT. HE WAS PROFESSIONAL AND VERY GRACIOUS AND TRULY CREATED A MEMORY FOR US THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

Exactly what our company needed for our VIP night!

Our company is celebrating 100 years in business in 2017 and on October 6th we had a VIP reception in Concord and hired Brian to play beautiful acoustic background music during our customer/business partners reception. Throughout the evening I heard many compliments on his playing, and I whole heartedly agree! Brian was timely, polite, very easy to communicate with, and of course the most important part, he is excellent musician!

We look forward to hopefully booking him again for future events! Ten thumbs up all the way around! Thank you Brian, you were great!

Brian brought energy and fun to our Farmer's Market

We invited Brian Callaghan to our Greater Gorham Farmer's Market. His music provided a great experience for our market goers and vendors alike. Brian knows and performs a wide range of music styles that kept everyone engaged. We would be glad to invite him back !

Wonderful musician!

Brian was a consummate professional from start to finish - he was so quick and courteous to respond to our event availability request, and was so kind and prompt about setting our repertoire. Most importantly, he showcased his talent with such patience and grace throughout our cozy cocktail / birthday party. His wonderful and calm presence impressed the birthday boy and all our guests. We will gladly work with Brian again for any special event we host.
