We caught you at Yuba College & what a wonderful performance! Not only are you a talented musician, but a personable, gracious guy! Loved the diversity of music & having the chance to talk
with you after the performance! I hope our paths cross with you again!

Ben, I can't tell you how much we loved having you perform at our wedding. It really made it a special day for us and guests. I can't tell you how many times people asked me how I found out about
you. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to hearing you perform again soon!
Mahalo,

Ben Gumbiner(Tuesday, 26 April 2016 12:52)
Ben played at our wedding and was awesome! He was professional throughout and sounded great. We asked him to play songs from different and varied music genres and he nailed them all. There is a
particular charm to the ukulele that he can bring out because it is his focus, which most guitar players who switch over seem to lack.

Brian Blagg(Sunday, 25 October 2015 22:11)
Ben was the consummate professional performer who was a hit at our son's 4th birthday luau. Ben performed a wide variety of genres including reggae, Hawaiian, Disney, rock, and even rap for our
guests. I would highly recommend Ben for any event you might have from a wedding to a luau. Ben enjoys people and has a unique way of interacting and connecting with everyone you may have at an event
from young to old.

Joanne Pond(Tuesday, 06 October 2015 09:53)
Ben was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better person to play at out wedding. He was so easy to work with and of course his talent speaks for itself. Thankyou Ben for the memories!

Rachel Herbert(Monday, 27 July 2015 02:47)
Ben played at our wedding a couple weeks ago, and he was amazing. Several guests with a wide range of ages and music preferences came up to me mid-reception and said, "Where did you find this guy? He
is AWESOME!!" He was also great with the planning beforehand; he was flexible, communicative, professional, and kind. I would highly recommend Ben for your event or wedding!
I had a pleasure of working with Ben this past weekend for a wedding and I can not say enough of how amazingly talented Ben is! I have been a Wedding Coordinator for the past 8 years and I just wish
I can work with Ben for every wedding! Ben was extremely flexible and easy to work with. From picking songs to listening to what the client's wants and needs. He came, set up, WOWed us and packed up,
many of the guests were expressing how AMAZING Ben's songs and voice was!
A guest needed to move their car during cocktail because it was blocking another car and instead of just announcing it over the microphone, Ben sang the announcement with his breathtaking
voice!
Will definitely refer Ben to everyone getting married! Thanks Ben!!

We really enjoyed having Ben share his musical gift with us at our corporate gathering! He set the perfect tone for the evening, entertaining our guests and accepting every request they threw at him.
So very impressed and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome evening of blissful tunage :)
Ben Ahn rocked the house and brought the Spirit of Aloha to UC San Francisco for our Asian-Pacific American Celebration. We can't wait to bring him back to campus again!
I've had the luck of getting to see Ben play live on stage, and also work with him off the stage for photography. I can only describe him as friendly, warm, professional, and a genuine pleasure to be
around. His music grips your soul and he lights up any room he's in.

I had the big task of finding entertainment for this 4 day conference in Santa Clara for 400 guests. As a person working in the central coast and trying to find the right entertainment in the Bay
Area, I can say it was a challenge. I was searching far and wide and I was lucky enough to discover Ben Ahn on YouTube. He was the perfect guy for me opening night reception. The crowd loved him,
sang with him, danced with him, cheered with him, took selfies with him, and even fed him. Ben is such a down to earth guy and took song requests and definitely works the crowd. It was just what I
needed from a performer to kick off this conference. The guests asked for his name and wrote such great evaluations for me about how well I did my job for entertainment. Ben is definitely the guy
that is on top of his game and very professional when it comes to getting everything in order for a good show. He responds promptly to my emails and worked with the rest of my committee to make sure
he was all set for his big day. Things with the conference were constantly changing and Ben was so patient and compliant. Great voice this guy has too! He even threw in some hip hop and r&b for
us. LOVE him! Looking forward to working with him again.

Ali Bickel(Monday, 02 March 2015 16:51)
Ben is FABULOUS! He played at a Hawaiian themed corporate event that my coworker planned. He totally set the mood for the entire event. He was early to set up, was super efficient and very flexible
when they ended up asking him to stay late! He was a huge hit and was talked about the whole evening. Would work with Ben again in a heartbeat!
As the organizer of the PPIE Centennial Uke-a-thon at the Palace of Fine Arts, I can't say enough great things about Ben. He is talented, charming, funny, and totally engaged an audience of more than
1,000 uke players. Over and over again I heard, "that guy is awesome"! Thanks so much Ben, you really helped make the event special!

Ben played during our wedding ceremony and reception and he was amazing!!! My husband is from Hawaii and we were looking to bring some Hawiian feel to our Marin, CA wedding and Ben was perfect! All
of our guests are still talking about how great he was. He plays such a variety of music that everyone loves. He even played Bob Marley for our first dance. Ben really helped to make our wedding
unique and special and we highly recommend him. We are looking forward to going to see him play in the city soon.
#20
Laura and Ryan(Thursday, 30 October 2014 18:30)
After seeing Ben perform at various venues, we asked if he would perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He was super friendly, easy going, accommodating of all our time changes and just
overall such a pleasure to work with. Before I even walked down the aisle, his music had me tearing up. Throughout the whole evening and after the wedding we kept on having friends, family, coworkers
coming up to us and telling us how much they loved Ben. He not only has a great voice and is super talented, but incredibly charismatic, friendly, and played music for everyone, including the Frozen
song which he played for the very anxious flower girl (and totally made her day!). We're so happy and feel so lucky to have had Ben at the wedding - Ben, thanks again. I can't wait to see you perform
again!

Kirsten & Max(Monday, 27 October 2014 20:35)
I knew exactly what I wanted when I was looking for a ceremony and cocktails musician for our wine country wedding this October. I grew up in Hawaii and wanted to walk down the aisle to Iz's
"somewhere over the rainbow" and then play a ton of fun contemporary Hawaiian tunes at cocktails - the kind of music my friends and I loved in high school. I discovered Ben after doing a little
research online and at "local" bars in the Bay Area with live music. He fit the bill perfectly (we watched ALL of his YouTube videos multiple times) and we hired him on the spot- and then when we saw
him play live in San Carlos there were several other couples there who had hired him for weddings so we knew he would know the drill! Ben was one of the elements I was most excited about for the
wedding (in addition to spam musubi appetizers and malasadas for dessert ;)) and he did not disappoint. I can't even count how many people came up to me during and after the wedding to say how
wonderful he was. My friends and family from Hawaii especially were obsessed! He added such a special touch to the day and more importantly was a pleasure to work with - so professional, warm and
genuinely a great guy to match his talent. Our wedding planner loved working with him too. My only regret is that Max and I were so tied up during the event that we never got to pose for a picture
with Ben and say thank you in person. I can't wait to get the video footage so we can listen to everything and re-live the magic. Ben you have fans in us for life and we can't wait for another chance
to hire you. And we'll catch you at Pa'ina sometime soon for sure.
Mahalo nui loa, K&M
I had the pleasure to work with Ben at the 4th Annual Yerba Buena Night which is a free outdoor, music, and arts festival in San Francisco. With over 40 acts on 5 main stages, I was excited to
highlight Ben in the program. Not only was he pleasant and easy to work with, but his performance was a hit! I look forward to working with Ben on future events.
We heard you play and lead a workshop in August during the Santa Cruz Ukulele Club meeting at Bocci's Cellar in Santa Cruz. We were so impressed and enjoyed it so much that tonight we are headed to
Pono Grill in Santa Cruz to hear you again!! Every song you played received a roaring standing ovation from people who "get" music!! You are so gracious, and made us feel like we were the ones who
made the event magic! We're glad that we can find upcoming concerts online! Please make some CDs!

Thank you beyond words, for singing at our wedding in Stinson Beach. Our family adores you and we hope that we can book you on many upcoming family functions that we have. We also referred you to
folks that heard you from the beach. They too were pleased with your entertainment and just like us, you have made their summer beach visit just as memorable.
Dont be surprised if you see us randomly at one of your local events, smiling and cheering you on, all we will ask in return is one Bob Marley song... just one.
Mahalo and Love,

Jennifer Avendano(Monday, 14 July 2014 13:35)
I helped a friend coordinate her wedding day and Ben was the ceremony and cocktail hour musician. From the moment we met, he embraced me (Hawaiian thing? :) ) and was SO much fun! He was easy to work
with, made my job enjoyable, and made everyone laugh and comfortable. Once he started playing though...everyone was SHOCKED how one man with one instrument can sound so full and beautiful. It was
amazing. He played a variety of old school, R&B and other mixes. His voice is GOLD. I would definitely recommend Ben for any type of occasion. He is a special treat!
Mahalo nui loa to Ben for the wonderful performance at Westfield San Francisco Centre! He did such a wonderful job engaging with the crowd, playing a wide variety of music and putting on a great
show. Great energy, great talent and outstanding showmanship. We are sad that we only got to book him for one of our shows. HANA HOU!

area. Maybe we'll take a trip up there to see him.
As far as we are concerned he one of the greatest uke players ever..
Good luck Ben.

My husband and I found Ben on line and knew right away that he was exactly what we wanted to bring Hawaii to our luau here at home. Ben plays from the heart and can bring the crowd together with the
strum of his ukulele. We found ourselves all singing along and dancing to not only our Hawaiian favorites but also contemporary hits that we requested. Ben is the kind of person you would want to
entertain at your event but he is also the type of person you would want as your guest and friend. Truly awesome!

We saw you perform at the Padre Hotel in Central California and knew we HAD to have you at our Wedding in Southern California. What an honor and privilege to share your talent with our friends and family. Thank you for playing a special part in one of the most important days of our lives!

My husband and I found Ben on line and knew right away that he was exactly what we wanted to bring Hawaii to our luau here at home. Ben plays from the heart and can bring the crowd together with the strum of his ukulele. We found ourselves all singing along and dancing to not only our Hawaiian favorites but also contemporary hits that we requested. Ben is the kind of person you would want to entertain at your event but he is also the type of person you would want as your guest and friend. Truly awesome!
