Clay and his band did an amazing job at our wedding! They were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, talented, and accommodating. They played all of our requests, arrived...
looking sharp, and sounded even better. If you're looking for real musicians who bring both skill and style, look no further. They created the perfect elevated vibe in the sunshine and were hands down the best part of the day.
I am soooo late in submitting this review of a band I never could have imagined I would have at my wedding. I did not know much about them, but then I spoke to both Jay (JSP) and C...
lay (lead) and felt so very reassured. They handles ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and the party with such an elegance and class. This was all a very first class experience and a true highlight of our extraordinarily dreamy wedding.
Please check with your planner, venue and others -- all you will hear are raves.
Thank you to the Clay Bell team!
Clay Bell is the most wonderful musician you could ask for. Bell and Company was the trio we hired, and they performed absolutely beautifully. They bring so much style and the perf...
ect aesthetic to an event. All 3 of them sing, it was the perfect mix of songs, and everything about it was a joy. Please contact me if you need more insight on why Bell & Company is the right choice for a wedding. I can enthusiastically attest wholeheartedly to anyone who needs insight.
A delight to work with! Well before my event, Clay reached out to me to ask questions about my event (things I hadn't thought of like guests in attendance, song requests, songs I d...
idn't want to hear) and checked in with me the day before the event to see if I had any questions. Day of the event it seemed like he curated his set list specifically to me! They played it all: rock, pop, folk, country... you name it they played (all acoustically too!) I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
A huge thank you to Bell & Company and Pop Rocks for making our day so very special day. It was a perfect combination to have both bands at our wedding.
Bell & Co did both the c...
eremony and cocktail hour for a classic wedding feel and beautiful vibes as the sun set. After dinner, Pop Rocks came in full blast for the reception and kept everyone dancing until the end of the night with an amazing set of tunes from Motown to now.
Every single musical moment was dreamy.
Thrilled!
Clay Bell was a delightful addition to our wedding, playing beautiful acoustic guitar during the ceremony as people were seated, and then for our processional and recessional.
Ev...
erything was exactly as we had hoped it would be, and it was a true pleasure working with you and your team! Thank you!
We hired Bell & Co as a 5 piece band and it was the perfect fit for our event (a company party, not a wedding). We needed a diverse song list and a well put together band that wasn...
't going to be too loud for the type of event we were having and Clay mindfully pieced together the exact right set of stellar musicians to make this work.
I will be back to hire Bell & Co again. Many thanks to Jay Siegan Presents and Bell & Co!
Thank you so much to Bell and Company for the perfect fit for our wedding. Beautifully arranged songs thoughtfully performed by world class musicians. This is the antithesis to the...

We were looking for a band that wasn't a typical wedding band and they delivered. Bell and Co are fantastic. We just got married at the end of March and the whole process was smo...
oth and easy. They listened to everything we wanted to hear. I received SO many compliments asking who the band was. Would recommend to anyone!
Insanely good. Clay performed an acoustic set of music around the fire pit for the last hour of our wedding and it was one of the coolest and most unique parts of the whole night. ...
You have to hire these guys!!!! I can't wait to have another occasion to do so.
Absolutely incredible. Bell & Co performed for our ceremony and it was amazing. I can't recommend them enough. They are so fun and easy to work with, best decision we made!!
Bell & Co are the real deal. I hired them for the cocktail reception at my wedding and they set the perfect atmosphere. I don’t think they said no to a single request; they knew ev...

would definitely recommend them for any event!
I was beyond impressed at Bell & Co at my wedding. Clay reached out during the planning process to see what our vision was and we trusted him to make good choices as we saw them pl...
ay at our friends wedding. I could not have planned a better playlist from start to finish. Bell & Co had the party on the dance floor from start to finish playing slow jams, dance tunes, jazz standards and even an old time folk song for my mother in law. If I had to get married again I would want Bell & Co there.
Really talented musicians who can read a room! Clay is funny and can play more songs on request than you would think possible!
Clay Bell is an amazing musician and the consummate professional. With an encyclopedic knowledge of popular music, his small, talented group will set whatever mood you're looking f...
or, from cool sophistication to a rollicking good time. He's incredibly easy to work with too, taking a lot of the stress out of planning your event.
Clay Bell has been one of my most favorite local musicians for years. I was so excited when I found out he was playing my friend's super fancy wedding brunch in downtown SF. He pla...
yed beautifully and made the whole thing feel so elegant. When the party was wrapping up he started taking requests and no joke, he knew EVERY song they named, it was so much fun. People were going bananas. He was so easy to work with and is clearly a true professional. I can not recommend Bell & Co. enough!
Bell and Co. went above and beyond for our wedding cocktail hour. The musicianship was top-notch and playful in just the way we wanted. They learned several of our favorite songs...
(which we specifically requested) and they played them wonderfully. Their acoustic version of "Mr. Brightside" was one of our favorites ever and we got many compliments from our wedding guests on the excellent music.
We were lucky enough to secure Clay for our wedding in Half Moon Bay last year. He was the only musician we had and handled our cocktail hour, ceremony and reception. We had a de...
stination wedding and never met Clay until the day of. He was so great at communicating via email and asked a lot of detailed questions. When he started playing our cocktail hour I knew we had made the right choice. He is AMAZING and so very talented!! I cannot recommend Clay enough. He made our wedding day one for the books.
We were a relatively small group of ‘intentional’ family, gathered for a most special afternoon and evening. What Clay brought was well beyond what we could have hoped for...........
sweet sound, soulful presentation and a loving spirit......all while playing the most beautiful and eclectic playlist.
The very best one could ask for, 5 stars and beyond!
Clay was fantastic through the whole process. He helped us choose the right songs that reflected who we are as a couple as well as filling out the playlist with songs he knew we’d ...
