Professional, talented, and personable!!

Chris played the keyboard for our outdoor wedding ceremony and it was beyond perfect!  From the beginning of our correspondence, through our wedding day, Chris was professional and extremely easy to work with.  He helped with song selection, provided all of his own equipment, and was able to accommodate a few family members singing with him.  I highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire an amazing pianist for their event!

Beautiful music

I didn't work with Chris directly but he played at my wedding with Brian on the cello from Lakeside Strings. I've always wanted a Cello & Piano duo at my ceremony and Brian worked with Chris to make it happen. They took the time to rehearse my entrance sound, Halo, which sounded so beautiful and set the tone for the wedding. Chris was a friendly face, flexible to work with us, and an awesome piano player. I'd highly recommend him!

Talented musician, would definitely recommend!!

Chris played at our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in June. He was organized and accommodating throughout the whole planning process. In the months leading up to our ceremony, he offered to learn any new songs, if we had wanted anything that wasn’t on his comprehensive list.

He was professional and talented. His music was beautifully played and many of our guests were complimentary. My husband and I didn’t do a first look, so when I walked down the aisle, this was our first time seeing each other. Having Chris play ‘A Thousand Years,’ as I walked down the aisle created a special moment for us. His music created an inviting and warm ambiance during cocktail hour. Chris was accommodating and flexible with a few quick setup changes when it started to sprinkle. We had a great experience with Chris and would definitely recommend him to others!
