My wife and I recently got married in Denver, CO on October 1st of this year and hired David as our pianist. I don't typically leave many reviews, but feel as though this review is warranted. Aside from his professionalism, he went above and beyond by agreeing to collaborate with my brother, who is a violinist, to play a couple selections for us that made our ceremony and first dance absolutely perfect. I know is isn't always easy to work with another musician you have never met before, but David handled it seamlessly. He also played the perfect classical selection during the cocktail hour. If you are getting married in the Denver area and looking for a pianist to make your day special, he is definitely your guy.
David, thanks so much for being a part of our special day. Wishing you all the best.
- Brandon and Holly.

David is such an amazing musician and professional. Without discussing he added ambience to our event. He was extremely professional and flexible with the other musicians as well as with the night events.

Hello Gina, thanks for the good word! It was a lovely party--do call on me again. Cheers!
David provided pre-ceremony and ceremony music for my daughter's wedding Friday evening in Breckenridge. He came early, set up, and provided beautiful background music for the wedding. As MOB, I was not present to enjoy most of his set, but gauging from our guests' comments, he did a great job. All music was curated by the bride and groom and David went out of his way to learn all the pieces. He definitely kicked off the celebration perfectly.

Hello Susan, thanks for the good word! It was a lovely wedding.
David was perfect for our event. He was professional and low maintenance. I was able to set him up quickly and then focus on the other needs of my event and never worried about the musical portion again. We received multiple compliments about how beautiful the piano was.

Hello Trista, thanks for the good word! It was a great party. All the best for you and family.
David played wonderful music for my father's celebration of life gathering. He is very punctual, plays a great selection of music at a perfect volume and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend David for your gathering and he will certainly be my first call for the next get together.

Hello Clark, thanks for the good word! It was a pleasure to play for your event, a great honor for your late father--may his memory be a blessing.
David Brussel is a true professional. I tried to make sure he had the music he needed to play, but when the event went off script by throwing in extra music, he was able to improvise on the spot in a seamless way, by ear! I cant tell you how happy I was with his performance. I would highly recommend Mr. Brussel to anyone. No matter what piano music you need at your event, you can put your mind at ease that David Brussel will take care of it for you.

Response from David Brussel Piano:
Thanks! It was a pleasure.
David arrived early to get set up and began playing on-time as our guests arrived. Several of our guests thought that we had a "player piano" and didn't even notice I
the live performance! The only thing we would have changed was the volume - a bit loud for our dinner party.

David was really prompt and his music selection was great! Everyone enjoyed his music and it made for a really nice and classy shopping event. Definitely recommend!

I hired David Brussel to play at the funeral of Joy Downes in the Church of Transfiguration in Evergreen, Co. He arrived early despite a blizzard, played well, and was highly professional. I'm glad I hired him.
His services were very reasonable considering his skill. He received numerous compliments from the attendees and family. I will forever remember his performance of Swan Lake. It was a wonderful send off to the deceased. I'm sure if she were alive today the way he played that song would have put a smile to her face.
