Jen has played such a special role in my life. She was my beloved piano teacher for many years, pianist at my church and most recently, pianist at my wedding. Jen is an unbelievably talented pianist, with a such repertoire of styles and songs to choose from. She is incredibly professional, asks thoughtful questions and improvises to meet the needs of her clients. She is so gifted and really elevated our guest experience for our wedding. I have received so many compliments on the music throughout the ceremony thanks to Jen. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pianist!
Jen played for my father in laws funeral. Very talented. Played so beautifully. Her musical talent brought a peaceful atmosphere to all before and during our service. If you are looking for someone to play at any of your events, she is definitely the person you should hire!
Response from Jennifer Smele Professional Pianist:
Thank you so much for your endorsement Becky! I'm so glad I was able to be part of such an amazing send-off.
Jennifer's presence, at our Family Christmas Party, was simply "the icing on the cake". Her choice of music, a mix of Christmas classics and beautiful ballads, left my entire family, from 7 months to 80 years of age, full of warmth and Christmas cheer. And Jennifer is as accomplished a professional as you could ever hope for, while being an incredibly charming individual to boot. Anyone who has the pleasure of Jennifer's talents on the piano will be better for the time and experience! My entire family gave Jennifer "10 Stars"!
I cannot express enough how fortunate we are to have Jennifer perform at the Retirment home I work at. Her incredible talent and warm personality always adds the perfect touch to any occasion.
What makes Jennifer truly exceptional is her ability to connect with our residents. She take the time to chat with each of us, learning about our musical preferences and dedicating songs to the residents. It's these personal touches that make her performances so memorable.
Jennifer was a joy to work with from beginning to end. She truly works alongside couples to customize a set list that best suits your wedding theme and the music you want to have played for your big day. She is respectful of your budget, punctual and wears her heart on her sleeve which made working with her a pleasant, zero stress experience.
Jennifer will work directly with you to customize and amplify your musical visions and truly made our day extra special with her gift of music. We are so thankful to have had Jennifer play for our wedding. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

Jennifer played a few songs at my wedding ceremony and she did an amazing job. She was very punctual and arrived well in advance of the time she was required to be at the ceremony to ensure all everything was where it needed to be. I highly recommend Jennifer to play for any occasion.
Response from Jennifer Smele Professional Pianist:
Thank you for your recommendation and feedback, Ross! It was a pleasure to play for you!
I worked for 15 years as the Wedding Assistant at my church, North Bramalea United. On several occasions I was fortunate enough to work with Jen as the pianist at the ceremonies. Jen is an incredibly talented piano player and was always able to play whatever selections the couple requested. She loves to and is able to play a great variety of different musical styles. Jen is extremely talented, reliable and punctual.
In addition, she is warm and friendly and will do her absolute best to make the music a very special part of any wedding. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

We had the pleasure of Jennifer play the piano at our wedding. Throughout our planning stages of the wedding, communication with Jennifer was always prompt. She is very easy to work with, and professional in her work. The day of the wedding, she played the piano so beautifully-she is a very talented pianist and it was a pleasure to hear her play. Our guests were also very impressed and we received a ton of positive feedback from guests about her playing! We highly recommend Jennifer to play at any event!
