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.

Gypsy is the only one to go with!!
I was so impressed with Gypsy!
I had a 60th birthday party and all my guests were so excited to have a card and palm reading. They are still chatting about the experience. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again in a heartbeat!! She was above amazing!! Thank you !!
This was a hit at my party
This was a hit at my party! There was a long line to get their portraits done, even past our scheduled time. He was so nice and kind that he kept on going almost 2 hours past our contract. He was lovely.
My experience was amazing
My experience was amazing. I was contacted in a timely matter and everything went smoothly. I had hired Elvis, Travis Allen, for my husbands 50th birthday and he was absolutely amazing! I would definitely book through The Bash again!
He put on a great show!!
The Artist Leo
The Artist Leo, was vey personable to everyone. Everyone enjoyed the artistic image of themselves. Great time! thanks Angie
Best bagpipe! Added magic!
My father passed away and I was looking for a bagpiper for the end of the memorial and I looked online and The Bash came up as a reliable source and within 20 minutes I had viable options to choose from. It was so easy! Then I chose Mark who was remarkable and knocked it out of the park. He was a surprise to all of our guests and truly honored my father. I couldn’t have asked for a better choice!

I loved the presentation by Mike Breeze and his energy! His message was motivating and inspiring! I learned several time management tools that I can incorporate in my daily life to be more efficient. I highly recommend!
Thank You!
They have great local talent. I have used The Bash twice and both times we got solid performers that were so professional.
Lack of accountability.
I went through the bash to secure entertainment services for a birthday party held on January 4, 2025. Unfortunately, the vendor did not uphold their agreement of the contract by performing one hour of services. They left the event early without permission and notification. When I contacted the bash to see what could be done I was told that the vendor provided false information that they were actually at the event for the full hour. It is extremely disappointing that the bash does not hold vendors responsible for fulfilling their end of the contract. No refund or recourse was offered to me. I am sorry to say that I will never use the bash for any type of service nor will I ever recommend anyone to use them.
