Alexander did an amazing job. We walked into our wedding ceremony with the most beautiful piano instrumentals playing in the background. He also then entertained our guests during cocktail hour which was just magical. We loved it! Highly recommend!!!

Alexander was a lovely person to have play for our intimate dinner party. We chose to have him come a little earlier just so he could play for us and he did not disappoint. It was lovely to have piano playing just for us and then for us and our guests. Thank you Alexander. We recommend him and would gladly ask for his services again

We booked Alexander for our Christmas party after the first booking cancelled 3 days before my event due to anticipated bad weather on the day of the party.
Alex promised that he will come despite the conditions and he did. There was weather warnings but he kept his promise.
It’s hard to find the reliability of that kind in this day.
Alex, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you a merry Christmas.
I will definitely recommend Alex to anyone.

Alexander did such a great job at our Holiday Party, our piano was unavailable last minute and he was able to bring his own which was so helpful! Would highly recommend!!

This is the second time we’ve had Alexander play our Christmas party and he was wonderful! Every guest at the party was mesmerized by his playing. We all felt like we had been transported to a magical winter wonderland. Alexander was also a pleasure to work with. He was professional and friendly, and went out of his way to make sure everyone was having a great time. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I’m already planning to have him back for my next event!

Alexander was great to work with and is such a talented pianist. He's super responsive (we traded a lot of notes back and forth) before the wedding. He played our requested songs beautifully. Recommend!!
Pianist
Alex was very prompt with replying to messages. He was very kind and arrived on time. He played very for our wedding and even incorporated a cultural song. He’s a great choice and I would recommend selecting him for your event.
Pianist
Alexander was the perfect choice for our Wine & Cheese party. He is lovely to deal with.
The attendees were an older crowd and his music selection was the classics, that a group that age would like.
The event was only 35 people and I was concerned that the music might drown out the social conversations, but it did not. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Keyboard Player
The crowd loved the music and we had multiple people mention how much they are enjoying Alexanders music. Nothing but 5 star.
Pianist
Alexander has played piano for both of our open house events and did a wonderful job. I will hire him again for future events!

Alexander played piano for my mother’s surprise 70th birthday party.
His communication prior to the event was great, and he was very punctual and professional on the big day.
He is an excellent pianist with a strong repertoire. He was able to transition effortlessly from a cocktail to a seated meal and then speeches.
I can’t recommend him highly enough for your next event.

Alexander was fantastic to work with. He's very professional and punctual. We connected a few weeks before the event to discuss the songs and he was very happy to accommodate our requests. He played many Bollywood songs which our guests love! Alex, thank you very much for playing at our event! Hope to work with you again in the future.
