Thank you so much for your review Caroline.
You were really nice as well and I wish you guys the best!
Ray was super responsive to outreach. He arrived on time, played beautifully, was attired perfectly. He is lovely to work with and a talented pianist. We asked that he lean in to jazz, and he showed he could do that! Would definitely work with Ray again. Highly recommend.

Ray played music before and during our daughter's wedding ceremony and it was magical. Ray is professional and easy to work. He asked in advance for music selections, arrived early, and played beautifully. He is a delight to work with.

Ray played several musical selections flawlessly before and during our daughter’s wedding. He didn’t have much opportunity to practice with the other musician but that wasn’t apparent as everything was played smoothly and beautifully.

Ray was great from booking to performing.
He asked my preferred music and delivered a fabulous performance. Punctual and very pleasant. Fit in well with the occasion which was an 85 year olds surprise birthday party.
Response from Classical pianist for your events:
Thank you as well for letting me be a part of your special moment. I had a great time, and loved it when everyone sang along!
I needed a pianist urgently for a concert five days away and I also don't live in the city.
Ray came to my rescue by bravely by accepting the challenge - he worked with my limited schedule for rehearsals, took the initiative to research the unknown music and was pleasant to work with. I am grateful for the overall smooth experience and can definitely say that my event was a success and stress-free due to Ray's cooperation and comradeship.
