Response from Adina Taylor, Event Pianist:
Thank you very much, Alexis! It was a joy to play for your special day. Best wishes!
We were absolutely pleased with Adina and her sisters on strings… the trio played during the ceremony, reception and dinner, classical and contemporary pieces. Enjoyed by everyone, and most importantly, they were exactly what the bride and groom wanted for their special day. Very easy to work with, we all appreciated their flexibility during the planning and scheduling process and their sweet and mild disposition on the day of (as weddings are stressful.) I would definitely hire them again for another event.

The chicpianista exceeded our expectations. We booked her for a private dinner event and she was a hit amongst all of the guests. 5/5 stars and would recommend to everyone.
She was super on the classical pieces and very versatile on the more popular pieces for sing along! She helped us to have a really memorable unique time!!!
Pauline, thank you so much for playing at our wedding! The music was beautiful, and fit our vision for our wedding perfectly. Dee (wedding coordinator) was so excited to hear the Final Fantasy Theme for the receasional! Wish we could have heard all the music during seating, but what we heard from the hallway before the ceremony sounded awesome!
Thank you so much!

Chicpianista was wonderful! She was timely and and provided an array of musical genres. Bravo!
She played for our wedding. She communicated well with us during the planning stages. She came prepared and sounded great. We would recommend her.
Pauline was lovely to work with - very accommodating and very talented. The musical selections were chosen at the last minute and she made sure she had prepared for the wedding ceremony. It was new to me to work with "Gig Salad" and so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but "ChicPianista" was perfect! Thank you to all!
