Currently a regular pianist at The Roof Restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City, I also provide soothing background music across multiple genres for wedding receptions, company parties, conventions, and more. Enjoy, among others, a broad selection of current hits, Broadway classics, movie theme songs, classical music, ragtime, and holiday favorites. My music can be catered to fit the specific needs of your event--just ask!
We thoroughly enjoyed having Jim play for my daughter's wedding reception. He was punctual, professional and played wonderfully for two hours. Many of the guests commented on how nice the music was and my daughter was thrilled with his addition to the atmosphere of the reception. Don't hesitate to book Jim should you have an event where you would like a pianist.

Jim brought beautiful music to a memorable event. He was eager to find the right music to compliment the evening, and the guests were delighted to hear and meet him. I look forward to calling on him again to add a wonderful element to another celebration.

Thank you, Tom, for the opportunity to play at your holiday gathering. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and your kindness and generosity were palpable! It was a genuine privilege for me to meet you and play in your beautiful home.
Jim Bergstedt is exceptionally talented and very professional. He played at our rehearsal dinner for our wedding. It was beautiful. We have heard him play countless times since then, and he always does an excellent job. Very highly recommended.

Thank you, Thessaly, again for the opportunity! Such a memorable evening and celebration!
Jim was very professional. He responded quickly to all of my messages. He prepared the requested music and also brought his own good ideas to the event. He played for three hours for a wedding ceremony and dinner. He was easy to work with and well prepared. I would recommend him.

Thank you, Lynette, for the opportunity. It was an incredible event and a real privilege to be a small part of it!
Jim Bergstedt is extremely talented on the piano. He played at our wedding reception and I have heard him play at other events as well. In fact, we first heard him play at a very fine restaurant in Salt Lake City. After hearing him, we knew we had to have him to play at our wedding. He plays such a wide selection of music that fits perfectly for any event. I would definitely recommend him and will gladly use him again.

I've hired Jim to play for several functions, including a wedding and company parties. His playing is so soothing and adds such ambience to any event. Jim has a huge selection to play from, plays with such feeling and adds class to any event. I recommend Jim for playing at any event. It's worth having a party just to have Jim play!

Thank you, Pam. I've cherished the opportunities I have had to play for your events. Such an honor!

Thank you, Sarah. That was a memorable Valentine's Day, and a perfect celebration for such a remarkable couple. I was grateful to be there, let alone share some music with the guests!
I used Jim to play for my wedding reception. Jim is one of my favorite pianists to listen to because he has such a great touch on the piano. He plays with feeling and the songs come alive. He is very professional and has a huge repertoire with all different genres of music. He is such a kind a gracious person as well, which makes him very easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know!

Following one of my gigs, one event planner wrote, "Jim played the piano at our wedding reception and I highly recommend him. It made our wedding day even that much more special. He is very talented, fun, and enjoyable to listen to. I have also heard him play on many other occasions including at The Roof restaurant. You will be very satisfied and amazed with his musical talents on the piano."
Countless others have expressed similar sentiments, one individual stating that my music had a healing component that provided much-needed relief during a particularly stressful time of life.
Whether the focal point of your evening or light background music, allow me to offer your event the finishing touches it deserves!
I have nearly thirty years of piano experience, playing at venues throughout the Wasatch Front and as a regular pianist at The Roof Restaurant and the Inn at Temple Square. I have performed at weddings, wedding receptions, conventions, company parties, funerals, and more. I also accompany choirs and other musicians.
I am flexible on location and setup--simply make sure there is a piano or keyboard available and I am there. I am happy to provide a sample copy of my repertoire for your review prior to the event to give you a feel for the broad selection of music I play and/or to allow you to select the specific songs you would like performed.
