Awesome wedding pianist

Emily was very flexible covering for another pianist after they broke their finger - easily coordinated with our saxophone player and played beautifully on relatively short notice. Would definitely recommend live music for weddings and Emily does a great job for it!

Talented and Helpful

We had Emily booked for our 10 year anniversary service. She was extremely prompt during the planning stages and had everything set up on time for the event. Emily even helped with the music selection which turned out to be perfect for our memorable day! I hope she is still practicing when we hit 25 years. Highly recommend

Beautiful Music

My dream wedding would not have been complete without live music for me to walk down the isle to. Emily creates the perfect ambiance to pair with any wedding. She is very flexible to ensure your dream sound is achieved on the day. Beforehand, her communication is prompt and professional. When I needed a little advice on what pieces to choose, her extensive repertoire provided guidance.

Celebration of Life

Emily was the pianist at a Celebration of Life recently. She was very accomodating with the music selections and performed the music flawlessly.
I would not hesitate to engage her again.
