For anyone wondering if The Bash will work for you, I am here to help you and tell you it won’t. They will gladly take your money up front for the year and leave you to promote yourself. As much as I hate to say, they are a ripoff. All they want is that up-front money from you. Invest in yourself. Build your own website and promote yourself. Because nobody will do it as you will. Good luck!
As an artist, it is nearly impossible to remove your personal information from this site. I have sent emails, used their online forms, then used another form they sent by email, had to 'confirm' another email. All that and we NEVER Got a gig.... We did much better with GigSalad... and for FREE.
Garbage. Horrible for anyone starting small and trying to grow. Unless you’re already well established in other ways, you won’t turn up in search results. You’ll get plenty of auto add leads - where they tack you onto requests for people geographically nearby, so you’re listed as an alternate for people who didn’t ask for you (because they don’t know you exist). I’ve been a member for almost a year and I’ve gotten maybe two or three actual direct requests.
For event #4911184 with Allen Coffin, Elvis Presley Impersonator and singer; Allen, which Ill just refer to as Elvis here was outstanding! I can tell you, as I am someone who enjoys good music and have been singing since early grade school, was very impressed with Elvis singing, as he captured Elvis in his singing and performance with the many songs over the years, from his early rock and roll, to the 50s and 60s dancing music, from the heart felt songs like "Don't Cry", "Teddy Bear", to love songs of all kinds and times and so much more. He also did Elvis justice personifying his heart and love for people. He owned it, to put it in a few words. He won our hearts with his loving care and attention to everyone present, with his performance, making all the ladies feel important and with tenderness. A true gentleman who represented the best of Elvis era, as a good and caring man. You can feel the love and his masterful impersonation of Elvis. For all who attended; I want to thank you for making our celebration of my sister's 80th Birthday Party a party to remember. Just simply outstanding. We will gladly recommend Allen as Elvis to everyone who wants to bring in the energy, entertainment and tender love that only Elvis can deliver. Thank you, Ramona
Good fand bad had to go to the feature make it
Had to find a DJ for a small event and came across Th Bash, and in a nano minute I had friendly and affordable DJ Nick Lombardi. Great service. Thank you Judy V
The Bash is a must use resource for event planning! Everything was smooth, efficient, and successful
The band booking process was incredibly straightforward. The service efficiently put us in direct contact with the bands via email and telephone. A standout feature was the video samples each band could upload; this was immensely helpful in allowing me to find the perfect match for our event.
The Bash provided a seamless experience for booking a classical trio for our parents' anniversary. With a wide selection of musicians, we quickly found a wonderful local group. Highly recommend for easy, stress-free entertainment booking!
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 . 👎🏼
Hi Rich, We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it can be when a client doesn’t follow through with payment. While The Bash does not collect final payments on behalf of vendors, we’re always here to help by sending payment reminders and secure payment links to the client upon request. For added convenience, planners can also submit payment online through The Bash at any time, 24/7. To help protect against situations like this, we allow vendors to request a deposit at the time of booking, which ensures upfront payment. The Bash’s booking fee is deducted directly from that deposit, so vendors are not charged separately. We also strongly encourage vendors to use a contract outlining payment terms and policies. The Bash provides vendors with the planner’s email address and phone number so you can maintain direct and timely communication throughout the planning process. We sincerely apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this has caused and appreciate you sharing your experience.
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!

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.
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.
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.
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. Best, Michele Hall
Site was easy to understand and navigate. Reviews of talent was helpful. Musician we ended up hiring (twice now) is awesome!
Quick and easy access to professionals !!
