Bill Ward play the keyboard for our annual policeman's cookout picnic at Twin Oaks, a 55 plus community. His music is and was awesome and everyone enjoyed it. Nothing but positive feedback from those that attended the event. We look forward to having Bill play again for our Christmas event and for any special events we might be holding throughout the year.
I hired Bill for a church event to provide a jazz style to traditional hymns. His playing excited the crowd and demonstrated complete command of the organ. He is extremely flexible and ensures that his playing affects the mood of the audience. He is definitely a technical experts and a pleasure to have in any type of ensemble. I highly recommend.
Mr. Ward with his finesse, grace and entertainment abilities was the perfect match for my mother’s birthday celebration. He was able to accommodate to the entire playlist with some oldies we even forgot about. I am totally satisfied and highly recommend Mr. Ward to warm your event.
Mr. Bill Ward seamlessly provided piano accompaniment for our choir when we suddenly found our church without a musician. He was prompt, professional, warm and amiable. His talent was evident by his flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of the pastor and the mood of the service. I highly recommend him and I hope we can collaborate again someday!
I'd exhausted all avenues in attempting to find a suitable musician for what I hoped would be a memorial service with diverse musical offerings. Even though I was somewhat leery of booking online, I booked Bill Ward of Bill Ward Productions. He provided everything from classical musical selections to traditional hymns….to jazz. I would book Bill Ward Productions again!
