I was a little uncertain about using Gig Salad initially, as I had never heard of it before. But it was one of the best decisions I could have made. The other was booking Springlight Entertainment. Their response time was wonderful. They were the first to respond to my request, in fact. They were also incredibly responsive to my needs, especially working with me to stay within budget.
And the music was truly beautiful. So many guests stopped by to tell me what a beautiful event I hosted with the music enhancing the evening.

Response from Springlight Entertainment:
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to play for you guys.
Pasha and his band delivered exactly what we were looking for. We hired them to play at a corporate event out on a terrace by the water while we were having our main meal. They played impeccably well and so beautifully. Not too loud as to challenge us to hear one another, but loud enough to truly appreciate the awesome tunes. A must hire!

Talk about exceeding my expectations! The Pasha Karchevsky Music Group played for my fathers 95Th birthday party - during this pandemic no less so lots of care was needed - and they crushed it. We had a modest budget so could only afford two pieces, Pasha on the trumpet and Arthur on the guitar, but it may as well have been five pieces. Pasha is an insanely talented trumpet player. He connects to the audience in a soulful way at the same time bringing tremendous energy and and mastery of the music. Arthur, the guitarist had the most awesome vibe and was wonderful as well. He was a perfect presence and was smiling the entire time. They played standards like Fly Me To The Moon and Hello Dolly that had the 95 year old birthday boy jitterbugging. Add to that, that both Pasha and Arthur were entirely professional and full of grace throughout. They rolled up looking like total pros in great looking black suits as well. The whole experience was impressive and I can’t wait to book them for another gig. They truly made the event one in a million. I wish there were ten stars on the scale!

Thank you so much Pamela!! It was a great pleasure to play for you! Hope to play for you again! God Bless!!
Springlight entertainment did a wonderful job playing at our wedding! They added touch of elegance with a sprinkle of jazz to the atmosphere of the wedding. I would definitely recommend them and use them again for future engagements.

We had Pasha on the trumpet, and Arthur on the guitar, for a three hour gig. They were both wonderful! They arrived on time, they were neat, polite, and professional. They played for three hours and my friends and I were really impressed. I will definitely hire them again (maybe even with a third musician since we so enjoyed them two). I have not one negative thing to add. Hire Them!
Trumpet Player, Jazz Band
Pasha and his guitarist were beyond wonderful. Not only did they show up early, were impeccable dressed and professional, their music was beautiful. I was so upset at my Dad’s Funeral Mass that I wasn’t able to even go up and talk to them but they had it all under control and went over the songs with the church organist before the mass started. Hiring them was the best decision as their talent is remarkable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trumpet player.

Very nice jazz trumpet and keyboard. We appreciated the beautiful music for our event.
Pasha is a great trumpet player! He is also very professional, responsive and caring. Pasha had performed at my father’s funeral service and was able to create the perfect mood and blended beautifully with the other musicians. Great job!

Thank you very much Janet!
Pasha Karchevsky brought beautiful trumpet playing to my daughter’s wedding. He played Trumpet Voluntary with majesty and skill and beautiful tone. He dressed sharply, showed up early to rehearse, was well prepared amd stayed for the service playing on the hymns. I recommend Pasha Karchevsky wholeheartedly. We were super pleased with him.

Our guests loved the entertainment. We wanted a jazz band to spruce up our late night cocktail hour and they did a great job.

Thank you Michael for having us!
I hired Springlight Entertainment to perform at a funeral and luncheon for my dear friend. They were extremely professional, the music was perfect and they were simply amazing! I will absolutely be using them again in the future and can’t say enough about the music they provided. Thank you for making my friends memorial service so beautiful!

Astonishing, they're so good in what they do, good timing, good presentation, good band. Just perfect!

Asking Pasha to play hymns at my father's burial was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was my first time helping to arrange a funeral service (we didn't have a funeral director), not to mention my first time looking for a musician, so there was a lot of anxiety and uncertainty on my part. Making any decision was especially hard during grieving. I didn't know if finding a musician to play was the right thing to do, but I felt in my heart it was necessary for our healing. My father was a pastor and this would be my last gift to him: a world-class trumpeter to give him a honorable send-off. The weather forecast for the day was below freezing, and I was so worried that it would be too uncomfortable and too difficult to play trumpet outdoors, and so I almost did not go ahead with the booking out of concern for his well-being. But Pasha reassured me it was going to be alright and that he could play, which was amazing. Pasha was so understanding, helpful, and responsive through this process. I am very thankful and also apologetic to him for the weather that day, as well as the last-minute booking and many song requests. He played stirring and souful renditions of Battle Hymn of the Republic, Because He Lives, Great Is Thy Faithfulness, What a Friend We Have in Jesus, Taps, and many more. I still can't believe a musician of Pasha's caliber was able to play at my humble father's burial. In below-freezing temperature, with the ground covered in snow, and during the pandemic. I cannot thank him enough for the priceless and memorable gift he gave us. The music was beautiful and moved everyone's hearts. We were able to live stream the event to friends and family around the world. I can't imagine not having Pasha's trumpet at my dad's burial, and am so glad I made the decision to look for a musician. In midst of unfortunate events, having Pasha play his trumpet to comfort and lift our spirits was extremely fortunate. Thank you again, Pasha and Springlight Entertainment, for your gracious assistance and heartwarming music on that freezing day. New York is so lucky to have people like you! I look forward to future events where we can enjoy their world-class music again. With gratitude, WJ and family.
Your music added so
much sophistication to our event! You are very talented. Thank you

Response from Springlight Entertainment:
Thank you very much Belle! It was a pleasure to play for you guys.
Easily the highlight of our event.
We hired just a single bugalist to perform a handful of simple tunes, and he crushed it.
On time, well presented. Professional and executed out vision beautifully.
We will be using them again when we are back in NYC
I hired Springlight Entertainment to play for my mother's memorial. They played "Ave Maria" during the program and jazz during the reception. They were fantastic! Many of the guests asked where I had found them and if I could share their contact information. In addition to being top notch musicians, they were extremely professional to work with--excellent communication, timely, and thoughtful in incorporating my requests for the event.
Jazz Band
The duo Pasha and Artur were amazing. They were hired to perform at a funeral and it went better than expected even when we started the program later than anticipated. They were very respectful and polite throughout the entire service. Definitely would recommend these two.
Classical Duo, Funeral Music
I loved the music, the musician was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He did a great job!
Funeral Music
Pasha and his guitarist were absolutely fantastic. My fiancé passed away unexpectedly and we wanted to close his final chapter with style and class like the man that he was. We hired this amazing duo to play after the service as guests were leaving the church. My fiancé was a trumpeter himself and his best friend a guitarist, both w/ deep Italian roots. The tribute to my fiancé that Springlight Entertainment provided was wonderfully cathartic. The selection of music they can play is incredibly diverse. For our service, the duo played Frank Sinatra, Amazing Grace, Taps and others. The sound was soft, elegant and appropriate to the event.
Pasha was incredibly responsive after I booked the event, which eased my mind tremendously. I had so much going on with losing my soulmate that not having to worry about details was very helpful, Pasha took the lead. It also eased my mind to know that this duo was responsible and committed to their contract with gigsalad.
These two are incredibly talented and I highly recommend them for your next event. They are reliable and responsive, but most importantly the music is outstanding!

Under the gun, with only 4 days left before my father's funeral, Pasha Karchevsky responded to my request for a trumpeter on gigsalad. I accepted his extremely reasonable quote. Without any knowledge of my one song request, he studied, analyzed and practiced, showed up at the event- and nailed the song and blew everyone away. There were tears on many attending. We tipped him above his cost because he went above and beyond our wildest expectations. Bravo Pasha! Many deep profound thank yous!

Response from Springlight Entertainment:
Thank you Dan!!
They were professional from start to finish. They arrived earlier but the person for the surprise was late and they waited for them to arrive before playing and were really great about the entire situation. Would always recommend them to anyone.

Response from Springlight Entertainment:
Thank you, Justin! It was a pleasure to play for you.
Pasha played the trumpet at a surprise birthday event that I held in my backyard. The process of working with Pasha, from start to finish was stress-free and highly professional. We really enjoyed the range of songs that he played- from modern hits to classic Miles Davis. He even played a challenging Balkan song that I had requested. I highly recommend Pasha to anyone.
Thank you Pasha for giving my family this unique experience, your enthusiasm, positive spirit, and TALENT really shined through. We hope to work with you again!

Pasha showed up early and dressed to the nines. He was attentive and receptive of direction as we didn’t really know exactly how the procession of a burial would go. He played the bugle taps on his trumpet ever so beautifully, it made the occasion complete. Thanks, Pasha.

Pasha was great! He played happy birthday for our co-worker and everyone was so happy! He came on time and was very professional.

Pasha coordinated with me weeks in advance and checked in multiple times to make sure his timing for our event was all set up. His playing was excellent and made a special moment perfect for me and my now fiance. I highly recommend a Pasha for any role you are pondering.

Pasha was a delight to work with. He showed up on time for rehearsals and the gig, was well-prepared, and was even willing to play a few handbells for our Easter service! I'm so glad I met Pasha through Gigsalad. I will hire him again. I highly recommend Pasha for any occasions. Thank you Pasha!
Trumpet Player
Pasha is a very well studied musician who plays a great jazz trumpet. He recently played solo at my restaurant for Fat Tuesday and my customers loved him. His fee is very reasonable for such an accomplished musician and I would recommend him for any event. Bob Connelly Little Goose Cafe
