Our staff hasn't had an in person event in over 3 years due to Covid. Brian played at our welcome reception in which 40% of our staff was meeting for the first time. His song choices were perfection and he truly made the week's opening event stellar. Would book him again in a heartbeat.

Since the first contact Brian was willing to help on my needs. I wanted to sing to my wife’s event. Brian took it to the next level finding the score of an unknown Italian song. He offered his studio to practice in advance. The event was unforgettable and his performance impecable. I’m really grateful because with his help I was able to celebrate my wife on an unique way.

Brian is fantastic. We had so many compliments on his performance from all of the guest. The day was perfect weather and he entertained outside. The consensus was to have Brian Hart back again to entertain. I let Brian know and he said he would love to come back. We have these events every month. We would most likely ask him to come back in July if he is available. I will get in touch with you soon when we have the date picked out.
Thank you so much,
