Professional and everything we wanted

Alisa was absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough! We hired her as our pianist for our wedding and she was the easiest and kindest vendor I worked with. She responded to every email with kindness and promptly. She even took the initiative to reach out to our venue to ensure logistics were taken care of - I appreciate her taking one thing off the many things I had to do. Her playing was beautiful and captivating - thank you so much for making our day very special!

Most amazing pianist!!

Alisa played the songs I wanted, when I wanted, for my ceremony and reception. She played so beautifully and made my day exactly as I wanted it. She is also incredibly kind and professional, keeping in touch with me about my music choices and being flexible when I had to postpone my wedding day from May to August. I couldn't be happier with my decision to have her at my wedding. Thank you so much, Alisa!!!

Excellent and amazing!

My partner and I really wanted a pianist during our reception because the dining hall had a grand piano that we thought would be a waste if it didn't get played. We searched through Wedding Wire and came across Alisa and we're SO GLAD we did.

Turns out, Alisa was a preferred vendor for our venue which was a bonus as she was already familiar with the location and the equipment. My partner and I sampled a few of Alisa's videos and we loved the smooth, melodic style that she played her pieces. We also had the opportunity to hear her play live beautifully at the venue's open house and it reassured us of our decision.

Then the pandemic hit... and our venue unfortunately had to close. Alisa couldn't have been more wonderful to work with during this time. With the constant changes to gathering restrictions and then our venue closing, Alisa worked with us every step of the way - accommodating us with our date change, time change, and venue change. Even when our interest in wedding planning waned and our attention was divided and we noticed an error in our scheduling just days before the wedding - Alisa still worked with us without any complaints. She worked with us in crafting a playlist for the wedding and she was happy to learn the songs my partner and I wanted on the piano, even with such short notice. Becuase of the pandemic, Alisa also kept her mask on and remained physically distant from us - which is what we asked and we found that to be respectful and professional.

Alisa has been absolutely wonderful and patient with us throughout the entire proess. We couldn't have been happier in choosing Alisa to be our pianist. She played so beautifully during the ceremony - thank you so much for being a part of our day and for adding music to our day!

AhhhhMazzinggg

From the very moment I received my first email from Alisa it felt like talking to an old friend. She was bubbly, accommodating, and always went the extra mile to provide the best and most stress free conditions for me pre wedding! (She even sourced the exact music arrangement for my aisle song that I fell in love with - no easy feat!). Hands down one of my favorite vendors!

Exceeded all expectations

Alisa is an excellent and talented musician, who we chose based on reviews and videos of her music, but she was more amazing than we had hoped for and our experience far exceeded all of our expectations. She had an impressive repertoire of classical/contemporary/jazz music for us to choose from and I was able to pick many of my favourite songs. When she asked if we had any special requests, I was surprised and delighted that she was willing to learn a new song only two weeks from the wedding! We were so touched and moved when she played our special song knowing she had added it to her repertoire for our wedding. She was very warm and kind in all her interactions with us and the guests. Some kiddies at the wedding wanted to play on the piano during her performance and she was very cool and kind to the kids and never skipped a beat. Words cannot express how grateful I am that we chose such a wonderful and talented musician for our wedding. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommend!

Alisa provided us with beautiful and elegant music that set the ambiance with our wedding reception. She was punctual and flexible. She even learned some new piano pieces that we requested, including this an Asian pop song from the 80s! I also received great feedback about her music from the guests.
