I only got to hear their music during the ceremony but the quartet was the perfect addition to the day.

DJ ET is to blame for my wedding reception NOT going as planned…read more You see, in our planning, I had said, listen Ivy Hill, we are thrilled to be working with you as part of our event at Sand Rock Farm. We were excited to have a cellist playing as our guests got to mix and mingle. And yes, we were really looking forward to music being played as we ate and enjoyed our LONG awaited wedding reception (that had been postponed cuz...ya know...Covid.) But we said it repeatedly...There really was NOT going to be ANY dancing. There was dancing. Lots of it. And it is all DJ ET's fault. THANK GOODNESS!!!! Honestly, working with the entire team at Ivy Hill was a dream. Their selection of musical genres and musicians is nothing short of impressive. I will warn you now...that questionnaire is exhaustive...like it gets INTO the songs you like. But it is TOTALLY worth it. Matt reached out right before our reception just to check if we were good and to get us in touch with DJ ET. The cellist was AMAZING. And before you ask...YES...he can and WILL play a Game of Thrones medley. It was AMAZING. He also learned the music to my father's favorite hymn. When I heard him start to play it, I just started to cry because thanks to him, my father, who passed some time ago, was there...in that song...and in that cello. I can't recommend Ivy Hill Entertainment enough. They clearly have put in the work of bringing on the best of the best when it comes to musicians, performers and DJs. They take the headache and worry out of the planning and logistics. True pros in every sense. And my special nod to DJ ET who proved that the Mills Brothers and Blacksheep really DO belong on the same playlist.

Highly Recommended, Quality Entertainment: Wow - what a fantastic experience! Ivy Hill…read moreEntertainment truly is your "one stop music and entertainment shop." From working in events, I understand that heartfelt, professional, seamless entertainment is a key component to creating a memorable celebration. It brings people together, inspires guests, and sets the tone of your party. I've worked with some pretty cool musicians, but Ivy Hill Entertainment definitely stands out as the BEST. When it came time to plan the ultimate personal event - our wedding - we wanted a music-based celebration that stood apart from "typical wedding music". The idea was a multi-musical-styled evening showcasing classical music, New Orleans Big Band, a roaming violinist at dinner (Ivy Hill's gal, MJ, even played pop hits like Stayin' Alive and had everyone singing!), an intimate pub sing-along, and finally a rockin' reception. This was certainly an ambitious repertoire! I began researching bands/musicians and initially fell into a short panic. Most bands didn't seem to have the magical vibe, musical diversity, network, and professionalism (Can we count on the to show up for gods sake...) for me to book. In fact, none of the musicians resonated with our event's style.... and then I found Ivy Hill Entertainment. WOW. Game changer. From the moment of contact to the actual execution we had an amazing experience that was fun, stress free, collaborative, easy, and QUALITY. Ivy Hill has many options on how to book talent - actually super talent. You can hire anyone from a dope DJ to solo musician to the 9-musician "build-a-band" act we employed. My initial contact was Brian Bergeron who not only understood our vision, but encouraged us to make it happen. What an awesome guy. He was just as excited as we were! In fact, that's what stands out about Ivy Hill - their passion for music and events. They truly love what they do and understand the honor of being part of your event. Ivy Hill also offers such quality musicians! I couldn't believe we had all these cool people playing our wedding! It was great to see their musical backgrounds and sound samples from the website and resources. For our wedding, they supplied everything from the sound technician, musical equipment, speakers, musicians, and even an amazing Bandleader extraordinaire: Jon Devoto. Man, this guy was incredible! In addition to coordinating the musicians, he was also the lead singer, MC... and as a special request, include some mind-blowing tap dancing. Everyone loved him! I wish I could go through each of the musicians (Debbie Ilana, the New Classics, MJs Brass Boppers) because they brought so much flavor & style. It was like a mini-musical festival. The best part is that whatever you decide to book - whether it be an intimate musical vibe, dope DJ, or full-blown band - they deliver a memorable performance and professional experience. This team is full of talent and heart. They also have a big network of musicians and DJs so you don't need to worry about flaky musicians or no-shows. God forbid someone gets sick, they have the resources to ensure you are set. I trust them implicitly. I knew that I had nothing to worry about when booking them. The communication was clear and timely. We were in-line every step of the way. In fact, they are the only company I will use for future events. If you seek a top-notch service, this is the place for you. As you can see form their website, Ivy Hill Entertainment has a lot to offer. They exceeded our already high expectations. It is my pleasure to write this review and spread the word.

There is no set curriculum. They know we all have different tastes and musical goals and they create a plan based on whatever musical direction you want to go down. They also have a jam week where students get a chance to showcase their skills and get a feel for the stage. You get the same quality instruction you would get at a university but for a fraction of the price! Please give this school a chance you will not regret it!

My son Edward has been taking lessons at Bradley School of Music, and I couldn't be happier with…read morethe growth I've seen in him. Not only has his skill on the keyboard improved tremendously, but his confidence and excitement for music have grown as well. The environment here is positive, inspiring, and very student-focused. His instructor, Brooks Lundy, is phenomenal. He has that rare ability to both teach and genuinely connect with young musicians. You can tell he truly cares -- he encourages the kids, challenges them in the right way, and brings out the best in each student. The opportunities for students to perform and collaborate with others have also been amazing. Watching Edward play with his bandmates has been one of the highlights for us. If you're looking for a place where your child can learn music, grow creatively, and develop real performance experience, Bradley School of Music is the place. We're grateful for the care, passion, and professionalism they bring to every lesson. Highly recommend!

VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE with Jose Hernandez, per the contract their 'band leader', on a event…read moreheld of just last night. Booked them last December for a 70th BD party to be held May 2. Paid the deposit at the same time. Communicating with Jose the week prior I requested the trio set up an hour before the event started so no last minute sound checks etc. and the evening could start on time and go smooth. Needed a live mike so BD speeches could be made prior to their start time. He said not a problem. The BD started at 5 PM, still no trio. Dinner started at 6:15 PM, still no trio. Booked to play from 7 to 9 PM. Were they even going to show up ? No communication with either myself or the venue. Band showed up at 6:45ish to set up after the evening was in full swing. No apology yet (from Jose who I had negotiated the event with) and was told by Luis, the evenings lead, was all they knew they were hired to play from 7 to 9. TOTAL lack of professionalism in running your business and communicating with your client. Will NEVER recommend your business to any potential future clients. I would NEVER want my friends to go thru the same stress and anxiety we experienced last night.

It took me until adulthood to find a music teacher who made learning an instrument so fun, I was…read moreexcited to practice, and that teacher is Matthias! Matthias is an exceptionally talented drummer himself but even more than that, he has a gift of making his extensive knowledge so teachable and fun. He is supportive and encouraging while still making all the needed corrections and teaching you all the basics you need to be a successful drummer. I really look forward to my lessons with him each week and I can't wait to get home and practice what he shows me each lesson. He will also provide you with videos to watch on your off time, help you find a good drum kit, answer questions during your practice, and go above and beyond in so many other ways. Matthias is such a great teacher for adults and kids alike, so whether you are starting drums later in life like me, or a are a parent smart enough to let their kid follow their passion early, Matthias is a gem of a teacher. You are lucky to have him in Lafayette if you live in Lamorinda, but I would also commute any distance to have a teacher this good!

We started with drum instructors at several highly recommended Lamorinda music schools; we thought they were good and then tried Matthias. The difference was striking. He has a unique talent and set up where he breaks down and demonstrates on a second drum kit right next to his students. He can teach the basics to more advanced drumming across styles whether rock, latin, jazz and more. Our kids have advanced to playing in bands both at school and outside of school with friends. Highly recommended.
