This was the second year that Valentyn performed for us and we were so happy he was available for our Christmas event! Everyone was looking forward to hearing him play, and he didn't disappoint! Thank you Valentyn for sharing your talent with us!
We will definitely be booking again he did a above and beyond job and was on time and our seniors loved him!!
We are so glad we were able to book with Valentyn for our wedding! Our guests won’t stop talking about the amazing music and neither will we, we feel infinitely lucky that a musician of this caliber works with private events and now we have the most wonderful music playing in our heads and in videos from our special night. Valentyn played our favorite music for the ceremony, recommended a DJ who facilitated the sound system for our wedding and made us all feel like we were in a fairytale. Thank you a million times!
Truly delightful experience- start to finish. Valentyn was prompt, professional, and an extremely talented musician. Everyone at the event commented on his unique and beautiful sound. Will be looking for opportunities to host him again!
Valentyn's beautiful music on his unique instrument was a very special addition to our mother's funeral. Everyone loved his music! Valentyn came early and prepared and was a delight to work with. Definitely a professional!
We loved having Valentin for our garden party. He provided a magical, beautiful occasion. My guests adored his playing. So much special for having hired him.
I’m so glad I booked Valentyn! He not only plays the bandura beautify, but when our mic wasn’t quite working he stepped right up to help with sound, and ended up letting us use his! And on top of saving the day with that, he was very friendly and attentive throughout the entire event. If I have future events that he’d fit the bill for, I’m definitely interested in booking him again.
We loved Valentyn’s show. What a lovely and delightful addition to our outdoor celebration. He was so nice and very adaptable. Definitely recommend him!
Valentyn played his bandura for our small dinner party and it could not have been a more magical evening. He is a delightful person, his bandura beautiful and his music heavenly. It was a night we will not soon forget.
Valentyn joined us for our corporate holiday event and provided the most amazing music and atmosphere. He was very approachable and informative and educated us about the Bandura which he handmade. The music was ethereal and beautiful. We sincerely enjoyed having him as a part of our event and definitely recommend him to others.
Valentyn was lovely to work with! Communication was quick and clear, so booking was a breeze. He arrived early, didn't need much setup assistance, and got to playing right on time. He made the vibe in our community art space really calm and welcoming, he plays the bandura beautifully. Some of our guests had never seen one, so it was a treat to have him at the event. Would highly recommend booking Valentyn for your event!
Valentyn was the perfect addition to my mother’s memorial. We were outdoors and he played beautifully before the ceremony and afterwards. I highly recommend him.
The bandura is a highly resonant instrument -- a unique, elegant alternative to a traditional harp and as played by virtuoso Valentyn, completely magical. Working with Valentyn has been delightful -- from our first email exchanges months ago, to his performance at my daughter's wedding. He kindly accommodated our musical requests and learned and transcribed several new pieces and played them with passion. Our guests were enchanted by his performance and fascinated by his beautiful handmade bandura. Valentyn brought his own sound system and worked with our videographer to set up a direct audio feed so we would have the best recording of his music for the video. The sound system was perfect for the park setting -- not too loud and crystal clear. We are so happy we found Valentyn and enthusiastically recommend him!
Valantine arrived on time and was dressed up in professional clothes which felt really fancy and formal. He had a good sound system that he setup pretty quickly and started playing his amazing instrument. He played a combination of classicial and love songs, that are appropriate for a private anniversary dinner. He had even learnt the music I requested and played it as a surprise for my hubby , which was everythign I imagined it to be. Even though it was not originally my first choice of instrument, I am so happy I went with VAlentine. I would highly recommend Valentine for any of your occasions.
Excellent work , music , instrument, everything!!!!
Valentyn's performance was fantastic. He played during our Bastille Day happy hour which was an amazing experience for our guests. Highly recommend.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this performance! Thank you so much for bringing quality music to enrich our residents lives.
Valentyn has been performing at Vista Prime Steaks & Seafood for the last three years, two nights a week. He has added such a great entertainment value to our restaurant. Valentyn is professional and very engaging should the guest have any questions of comments. It is a pleasure to have Valentyn as a part of our entertainment team.
