Photo of David Griffin Audio David Griffin Audio "Totally professional and on most occasions the company is set up 2 hours before the bands show up. 10 stars" Based in Memphis, Tennessee The Fast Mothers - Rock n Roll band Photo of Timothy Zick Timothy Zick "We are so grateful we crossed paths with Tim. With professionalism and expertise, Tim was able to handle our project efficiently. But not just handle it, he made us feel like a part of the process. He made something typically difficult to understand so fun to be a part of. Tim's got a great ear for quality and his experience in live sound is such an asset. Give him a call, you'll be glad you did!" Based in Omaha, Nebraska Robert and Shelly Photo of Velvet Sounds Entertainment Velvet Sounds Entertainment "5 out of 5 Stars! Michelle was easy to work with and replied quickly to my emails. I had a beach party and she even dressed the part, played my song list, and added really smart suggestions. Great energy and she just wanted me to be happy. I would hire her in a minute. I was Very Happy also with how easy The Bash made this.

He takes the time to get to know his clients and what they like an don’t like. Absolutely blown away when the job he did!" Based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Kaitlyn Meier - Reception Photo of Dr Kelsey Graham Dr Kelsey Graham "Catie Our families have different religious backgrounds, and we wanted our service to A) not offend anyone and B) be a reflection of our relationship. Kelsey is amazing and did both flawlessly. He's so agreeable and attentive. He met us before the wedding, we had an awesome conversation, and he came up with brilliant ideas to incorporate into our wedding ceremony. Our wedding was far from cookie cutter thanks to him. He even helped with a last-minute adjustment due to the weather. Our day was absolutely perfect, and Atom and I gained a wonderful friend in the process! We will always stay in touch with him no matter where our life together takes us. You get so much more than just a wedding officiant with him. We feel like our lives are better for meeting him and his wife!" Based in Montgomery, Alabama 10th November 2025 Catie - Wedding
