September 20, 2025Amazing musician…. Thank you 💖
Kurt was absolutely wonderful! We booked him on just a week’s notice for my husband’s birthday, and he came fully prepared and very professional. He made sure we were able to play our tracks so my kids and I could sing a couple of songs, which made the night extra special. During dinner, he played beautiful music that created the perfect intimate atmosphere. His song choices were spot on, and we loved his sound, his guitar playing, and the quality of his performance. The added percussion gave it such a great vibe. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

September 14, 2025The Perfect Musical Touch for My Book Launch
Kurt was an absolute pleasure to work with. He arrived punctually and took my personal needs into consideration with great kindness and professionalism. This was a unique afternoon event — a book launch combined with poetry reading — and he was flexible, thoughtful, and completely attuned to the atmosphere I wanted to create. His music provided the perfect ambience, elevating the afternoon without ever overwhelming it. Guests commented on how beautifully his playing complemented the flow of the day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kurt to anyone looking for a talented guitarist who brings both artistry and sensitivity to an event.

December 5, 2023Best Choice Ever!
Kurt Szul was the best choice I could have possibly made for my party. Almost 40 friends with a common interest who had never met socially - and Kurt brought everyone together with the perfect blend of music that was not intrusive but oh, so enjoyable. A large house with high ceilings, he adjusted the volume when necessary so it was perfect at the beginning when people were arriving as well as when the house was full. And his choice of music could not have been better. After some prior conversations about the guests and their interests, he was right on. All night. And I might add, virtually EVERY guest complimented me on Kurt's performance. THE. BEST.!

October 5, 2023Night of exceptional music. Hassle free details.
I recently had the pleasure of hiring a solo guitarist for a private event on 9/29, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. To start, his honest and hassle-free approach made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I was able to pay online before the event. which I valued and appreciated from an honesty standpoint. As for the music, from the moment the first note to the final chord, the evening was elevated to a level of sophistication and charm that exceeded all expectations.
Kurt's performance was a masterclass in high-quality music. Each note was played with precision and passion, captivating the audience and creating an enchanting atmosphere. It was evident that he was not just playing music; he was painting an emotional canvas through his tunes.
Secondly, I was particularly impressed with the punctuality and professionalism displayed by Kurt. He arrived promptly, set up efficiently, and started performing right on schedule, demonstrating a high level of reliability and commitment.
In essence, I wholeheartedly recommend Kurt for any event where you desire top-tier musical entertainment coupled with professionalism and reliability. His high-quality music, classy presentation, punctuality, and honest, hassle-free approach makes a standout choice for creating an unforgettable and enchanting atmosphere. I am truly grateful for the magical touch Kurt brought to my event, making it an evening to remember for years to come.
