Jay was great with interacting with our guest. Our guests love how gracefully he plays and gives
details of what the song is that he is going to play, its origin, etc.
Jay did a great job for us at The Residence in Dallas, Pa.

It was a pleasure performing for such a wonderful audience on Veterans’ Day at Sisters Of Mercy, Misericordia University. The hospitality and kindness of all the Sisters and especially coordinator of the event Donna Cerza was overwhelming.
Carmella’s the other night was great! Jay did a fantastic job! Truly outstanding!

Jay Lemoncelli performance the other night at Carmella's Restaurant was outstanding so talented.
Response from Jay Lemoncelli:
Thank you Marjorie,
I was an honor to perform at Carmella’s for such a wonderful audience.
Having known Jay for many years, I have always known what a talented individual he is, but experiencing his Candlelight Evening was truly a special treat!! With music varying from from classical to arrangements of modern day, his performance offers something for everyone. I can't wait to see him perform again surrounded by great company.
Response from Jay Lemoncelli:
Mary Lou thank you so much for attending Carmella’s Fine Dining on June 4, 2022. It was an honor to perform for such a wonderful audience.
The Candlelight evening featuring Jay Lemoncelli on piano was a lovely experience, shared with special friends. Jay has a special talent showcasing iconic songs played with such soothing relaxing sounds filled with emotion.
Special thanks to him for sharing his beautifully played piano arrangements for a truly delightful event!
Response from Jay Lemoncelli:
Nancy,
Thank you so much for attending Carmella’s fine dining event. It was an honor to perform for such wonderful audience.
Jay is fantastic, played so many great songs!! Made dinner so much more enjoyable having him there live and he was very accommodating when we requested a favorite song!!!
Jay was fantastic! We couldn’t have been more pleased to have him play for our diners. Can’t wait to have him back!
Response from Jay Lemoncelli:
Thank you Chris,
Loved performing at Carmella’s Italian Restaurant Bar & Catering. The staff hospitality and cozy homestyle atmosphere created an overwhelmingly pleasant feeling.
Piano performance was outstanding. Highly recommend!
My experience was great. Listening to Jay Lemoncelli while enjoying dinner was very nice and overall put everyone in a good mood. Not only was he amazing and very professional while playing, but he played many classics that everyone knew. You can look around the room and see everyone singing the lyrics to the songs as he played. I will definitely be attending more of his events.
The melodic experience provided by Jay and Piano by Candlelight made me feel just like Henry Hill in Goodfellas. While we didn’t enter the restaurant through a back door and get whisked toward the dining arena through a collection of hallways, staircases, prep kitchens and swinging doors, the music set the tone for the evening and transported our dining party to simpler times. Friendly conversation and a family style meal created a perfect stage for the maestro to weave his magic through our ears and souls. Highly recommend. If you don’t have a live pianist in your restaurant, do you care?
All I can say is wow! Jay can really tickle those ivories! Cant’ wait until next time!
Celebrated a birthday and enjoyed listening
To the piano player! Great time! Great music!
