Laura! Thanks so much for me! You guys were awesome:)
Tim Perry’s performance at my husband’s surprise 50th Birthday was spectacular. It will be a day to remember always!!! My friends and family were so impressed with him. They all asked me how I found such a wonderful musician. I reviewed over 15 bands for this party and I chose Tim Perry. He had the most impressive profile I have ever seen for a one-man show. All I can say is Wow ..... I made the right choice for the most fantastic live entertainment ever. Thank you, Tim!

Hey Julie! It was my pleasure :)
Tim was easy to work with and so accommodating. His set up and equipment seemed minimal and easy to incorporate....while the music and his interaction with the party made the party a huge hit. He played to the younger crowd on up, there was nothing he couldn't play. And I also think he reads the crowd very well, his volume level was perfect and got everyone involved. I couldn't have asked for more from him. very nice gentleman and so committed to making the party great....I will definitely have him back again!
Had such a great experience working with Tim! We hired him to sing at my mother’s birthday celebration and I am so happy we did! It made the night so special and fun and Tim was a HUGE hit! He played everything we asked, was so pleasant and we had a great time. We will book again for sure!!!

Thanks for having me Katie! You and your family were so much fun to work with:)
Our family hired Tim to play, during our father’s funeral services & after at the luncheon celebrating his life. He was very professional, understanding & sang the songs we chose with very little time to prepare. His performance was stellar! We’d recommend him for any event & would hire him again without reservation.

Tim played at my son's graduation party and was amazing! All our guests enjoyed his performance. Some got up to move tables and dance. All were entertained! I just referred him to someone else looking for an entertainer for their party. He is a great person to work with. Communication is on point too. Very positive experience! I can't tell you how many times I was asked "Where did you find this guy?"

I referred Tim to my co-workers. Hope to hire him again. He is people friendly and very responsive. Great performance Tim! Thank you.

Thanks Kelsey! You guys were awesome! Take care for now:) Tim
Tim was great at communicating before the event. He arrived on time and prepared and was a lot of fun! He brought song books which was helpful and was able to play every song we asked for. It was a great night thanks in large part to Tim and I would certainly hire him again.

Tim was a complete rock star! Amazing voice, super accommodating, knew every song. Will definitely be brining him back to our home soon.

We keep talking about how happy we are that we chose Tim to play at our wedding. Tim did our cocktail hour, first dance, and after party. He rocked all three of them. He was more than accommodating in our song selections and learned to play our first dance song. He moved people to tears with his rendition of “Fields of Gold”. He even played a bunch of Taylor Swift for my wife at the after party and she couldn’t have been happier. Tim showed up early to set up, dressed to impress and ready to play for our crowd. I highly recommend booking Tim for any type of event as he is extremely talented and professional. He made our wedding truly special by connecting with us and our guests - we can’t thank him enough.

Tim, it was an honor. You guys were such a great crowd! Thanks again for having me:)
Tim was great! Amazing musician and very laid back. Perfect recipe for a great time at our company summer party.
Only problem is now i have everyone coming up to me trying to invent another party just so we can have Tim back. I guess I'll have to give them what they want.
See you again soon Tim!

Thanks for having me, Cheryl! It was so nice to play for you all:)
We hired Tim to perform at our company conference at the Sheraton in Boston, and he was amazing!! Couldn't have been happier with our choice. He played familiar songs and took requests of our guests. He engaged the crowd (I know this as he referred to me as "flower girl" giving the flowery top I was wearing) - so personable and friendly and the crowd loved it. I would hire Tim again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him for either your corporate or social event!

Tim played at our backyard birthday party for 45 adults and was fantastic! He was easy to work with and great with my kids who were the only ones at an adult party. Even more importantly, the music was perfect - songs we all knew but not overpowering the ability to carry on conversations. Everyone asked me where we’d found such a great musician!
Singing Guitarist
Everyone loved his voice and his guitar playing. I would definitely hire him again.

We really enjoyed Tim Perry at our St Paddy's day gathering, which was also my moms 95th birthday celebration. He played all the old Irish songs with great energy and young and old were clapping and singing along. Tim was excellent. He added a wonderful touch to a special celebration.
Singing Guitarist
Tim was a delight. Easy going, professional, accommodating, flexible, and most importantly a great talent. He brought a tight and tiny sound system, set up quietly, needed no direction at all, and played at the appropriate volume level at the appropriate times. He "receded" into the background when he should have, entertained our friends when they were ready for it; and even did some duets with a singer from our group of guests. We sang together, danced and Tim was the consummate professional. All done with a smile and a kind appreciation for having been able to entertain us. Everybody kept asking, "Where did you find this guy? He's great!"
We will most certainly ask Tim back for another party in the future!

Tim played for a cocktail/dinner party of about 75 people with a wide range of ages. He was perfect! He played a variety of music and tailored the type of music as the evening went on, even getting the crowd pumped up for dancing at the end. Everyone had a blast! I would not hesitate to hire Tim again.

Tim performed at our family celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. He engaged all ages, 5 - 70, included our granddaughter who plays the ukulele, for a part of it. He truly made the celebration complete. I would like to have him come back again next year for our annual family gathering on the Cape. A huge thumbs up! Thank you Tim!

We hired Tim for our company party last night! We were a small group of about 25 people in different age ranges. Tim exceeded our expectations, he created a great environment which ranged from chill to hilarious. He knows a wide range of music and has good equipment. I was impressed with how he was able to put on such a good show, all alone. We all had a truly wonderful time and hope to hire him again next year! Thanks Tim, take care.

We booked Tim for our high school 10 year reunion and he was great! He was very accommodating and showed up even earlier than he said giving us ample time to set up the room before guests arrived. He was the perfect fit for the venue and crowd and I would highly recommend him and hope to book him again for future event's!
