Got a gig thru the Bash to perform at a physical retaliation center Hudson Hill Center for Rehabilitation in Yonkers NY . I came at the allotted time . Set up sound , waited till they were ready and performed my 45 minute set . When I was finished they were very happy . There was supposed to be a check waiting which was not the case . I was assured a check would be sent out to me the next day . No check was mailed . Reached out to my contact Gisel at Hudson Hill several times and was told payment would be sent . Reached out to the Bash for help and they said the would contact Hudson Hill . After a few weeks of no payment reached out to the Bash again and was told by the Bash . We are not a collection agency , we reached out twice to Hudson Hill and that's all we can do. Really? Cause the Bash got their fee but I'm not entitled to the $400 I'm owned . The Bash is a terrible site to work for. Know this for anyone who joins this site. You are on your own if the client decides not to pay. It's a terrible way to treat your subcontractors . I rate the Bash below a Zero . Terrible business practices . 👎🏼

Wedding Violinist
Nick Sungenis played the violin for our wedding ceremony & cocktail hour & was absolutely incredible! He was able to play every single song we wanted & make the ceremony so special & emotional. He was very easy to work with & so kind. Our family & friends were so impressed. We cannot recommend him enough!! Thank you Nick!

Choosing a wedding DJ is one of the most crucial decisions for any couple planning their special day. The right DJ can transform your wedding reception into an unforgettable event, filled with joyous moments and dancing guests. One such exceptional service provider is Spin City, renowned for their professionalism, vast music selection, and ability to create an electrifying atmosphere.
Provide Inadequate Service and customers don't receive the product.
The Bash allows their service providers to steal from customers and to provide inadequate service. Bryon Huart arrived to my Mother's funeral late and missed recording the beginning of the service. He mailed 2 flash drives. One was pictures of someone else. The only was not a video it was music and vocal only. He downloaded the video and pictures to my Google drive and he deleted it: therefore, I paid for a product I don't have. The Bash allowed Bryon Huart to try to manipulate me into removing a factual review about him inorder to re-download my video and pictures. He is also demanding that I sign a Cease and Desist agreement. He also didn't have a car and I had to drive this stranger in my car to the cemetery and repast. The Bash told me there is nothing they can do about it. As long as they got their money they don' care t that I paid for a product that I don't have.
Bay Bridge Band at the Elks Lodge
The Elks Members totally enjoyed the Bay Bridge Band for our Valentine's Dinner/Dance. The dance floor was packed all night. We have invited them back next year.
Pianist
Life doesn't get any better when there are 50 other issues to deal with. I was thrilled I didn't have to lose my sanity over not having a terrific musician.

Jasmine Tookes’s birthday celebration was enhanced with Sam Adams playing the beautiful sound of Bosa nova music. Sam is an exquisite guitarist and very professional. Thank you so much for making the night complete.

Bash Review…
Site was easy to understand and navigate. Reviews of talent was helpful. Musician we ended up hiring (twice now) is awesome!
Easy to use and quick results!

I hired Wow Party Art through The Bash for a birthday party. I got a lot of different quotes ranging from low to high which were helpful in deciding to go with the above company. It made my job easier to plan the whole party!
AVOID THIS COMPANY
Do not work with nor hire from The Bash. This is coming from a professional violinist with over 20 years of playing experience who worked with this company until last year to advertise my wedding services and get leads. (I only got ONE, btw)
I am so glad I cancelled and left. This company recently posted a video of a fake violinist trying to fool viewers into thinking that he was actually playing ‘A Thousand Years’ by Christina Perri. His bow is merely gliding on the string with only a terrible, flat and repetitive Bb coming out. It’s a disgrace for a company to advertise to brides that this is the type of quality they should settle for and pay money for. They’re making a mockery of those who may not know better and also sincere, hardworking musicians with real and authentic and professional portfolios. The Bash should be ashamed. If this is what you advertise, how can anyone trust your platform and vendors? The Bash and this “violinist” also blocked me on social media. The Bash blocked me on Facebook and the scammer blocked me on Instagram. I’m going to let you, as the reader, wonder why on earth would a company like this and this player choose to block if what they’re actually advertising is real and authentic? Why block if I’m somehow wrong? Why not have a conversation? Why not take the video down and take into consideration my words and the words of others that commented and then were erased? The Bash, you should know that companies that act this way, in the end, never last and will end up losing. You’re digging your own grave. 👋🏻

Brady Davis played guitar at a reception following a memorial service for our daughter. His music selections were softly played and appropriate for the occasion. Brady was prompt easy to work with and a gifted musician. I highly recommend him.
The ease of use
The ease of use, and responsiveness from both The Bash, and the entertainers was awesome. Thank you for the service.
