Frank Plumer and his accordion made our family 80th birthday party! He was flexible, eager to help surprise the guest of honor, wonderful selection of tunes and brought good cheer. Thank you!!
Frank is pro! He came in with 2 days notice and played everything beautifully! Will definitely engage this talented musician again!
I'm so glad Frank agreed to play at my wedding given the limited scope of what I wanted. He was punctual and self-sufficient, needing no direction. As we agreed in advance, he played for about 15 minutes as our guests arrived and took their seats, then played the traditional Wagner intro as I walked down the aisle, and the Mendelssohn outro as we all exited after the short ceremony. My only regret is that I didn't have a chance to meet or thank him in person!
Frank blew my expectations out of the water. He really made this such a easy, painless and special time. Frank really worked with me and delivered exactly what I needed and then some. HIRE THIS MAN!
Even if you can't book an in-person event, or it isn't a major event in you life, music soothes the soul. I enjoyed every minute of Frank's virtual rendition of the song I chose. I can't wait to book Frank again.
Frank was absolutely delightful! He was personable with guests and his music blew people away. Run, don't walk to book him!
Awesome musician, lovely human being, super talented, wonderful professionalism. We will have him at another event in the future!
He was prompt and played good music. It Would have been better if he walked around and played to the guests, I was expecting him to sing more than 2 songs but he said it was to noisy to do so. The guest of honor ( my mother) said the music wasn’t loud enough to hear it well.
We hired Frank and his daughter to play accordion and violin at our recent wedding on the beach. All I can say is TOTALLY AWESOME!! They were extremely professional and did everything we asked. Our guests all left raving about the music, and were sincerely impressed. We're now dreaming up events just to be able to work with Frank and his daughter again. Thanks for the truly memorable time!
Frank and his daughter Cecel were fantastic
They left my congregation wanting more
It was a perfect blend of Carols and holiday songs
I would definitely recommend them they are very professional
Frank did an excellent job for us. He was both friendly and talented. We appreciate him playing at our event.
thank you.
Frank was not only talented but very personable and accommodating. He played a variety of songs appropriate to our celebration and our group. We would highly recommend him!
Frank played all the songs I requested beautifully! He was professional and responsive. We didn't know the piano at our venue had to be tuned, so Frank stepped in and were hired him to tune it for us with a last minute request. Hiring Frank was one of the best choices I made on my wedding day!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Franks performance and we will be contacting him again for next years event.
Very professional
We hired Frank to play the accordion at our daughter's Hebrew naming ceremony and he did a great job. Professional, friendly, and an excellent musician. Thanks so much!
Frank provided music for our wedding ceremony on his keyboard along with providing a violin accompaniment. Throughout the planning process, he responded quickly to any questions and was very reassuring. He had no problem playing any specific songs that were requested and even work with a family friend who sang during our ceremony. I have had nothing but a positive experience with Frank.
Frank was excellent and truly made our party a success! He is an amazing piano player with superb technical skills. He was a pleasure to work with before the event – very quick and thorough correspondence. Frank was a consummate professional- it was such a pleasure to work with him. We can't wait to have another party so we can hire Frank again!
Frank was fantastic. The music was beautiful and the residents and staff loved it! It added to the ambience of our event. Thank you Frank.
Frank came early and tuned our piano. He was amazing. Played for 2 hours, anything we requested. Beautiful music all evening for our party. He was a joy to have in our home.
The guests actually believed me when I said I shipped Francois from the streets of Paris :). He not only did a great job playing the Accordion, but also spoke French and played the part as a French musician well. He even played some songs that we requested! I would definitely hire him again!
Frank showed up promptly, layer a little longer as the party went on and was a great pianist. It was a holiday party and his selection of tunes was great.
Frank was everything you would hope for in giving us lovely music and professional yet friendly manner!
This was our second event with Frank. As usual, he did not disappoint!!! Great fun was had by all!
From booking to the actual event, I had a great experience! Frank did a wonderful job and everyone enjoyed his music. He brought that extra special element to the party, helping to make it a memorable night.
Frank played my daughter's birthday party. She enjoyed the music immensely (so much that we were joking next year she doesn't need an actual party, just a musician to come play). We provided a "set list" of her favorite (albeit eclectic) tunes in advance and Frank was a very good sport about it and covered all her top hits. Pretty impressive repertoire for an accordion! I would definitely hire Frank again.
I booked Frank to lead a carol-long at my Mother's community (they no longer say retirement) for her 89th birthday party! Frank brought his wife and three children - the whole thing was amazing. Frank is talented. The kids are talented and made my Mom and her friends feel special! I highly recommend Frank and the Plummer Family for any event!
Frank is an exvellent professional in every way Calm confident and Just "cool" his selections on the piano were appropriatw and sensitive to the mode and tenor of the occasion
Frank was on time and played all of the songs that were requested by my 85 year old mother, as well as other requests from several other guests. Great job! I would recommend him for your event.
I had a very good feeling from the moment Frank walked up to me on my driveway. His warm, but calm approach immediately put me at ease. My home was already filled with people and he fit right in, sat down and played his beautiful music, which everyone loved and appreciated. The moment he started playing the keyboard it lent a special air to the party and I knew all was going to be well.
Thank you Frank for sharing your wonderful talent with me and my friends.
I wish you and your family a wonderful and Blessed New Year.
Sincerely,
Joanna Richards
