Joel entertained us fri the moment he arrived. Our guests had a super time singing along with Joel and the piano.
Joel played piano and sang at our son's wedding, and honestly I don't know where to begin. I guess most importantly he's incredibly talented - both at piano and singing. His list of songs was perfect, and he also learned a couple songs for the wedding, and nailed them. He worked with me to ensure the length of the processional song was perfectly timed.
But apart from all that, Joel is relaxed, friendly, easy going and helped create a wonderful vibe for the wedding. The music was great and thanks to Joel we had FUN!! As I said in the headline, he made the wedding. (Oh, and he showed up on time and is reliable as well.)
Joel is also very good at sensing the vibe of the room, and adjusting his music to it - along with sensing what people are enjoying.
I'll definitely be calling Joel for future events.
Joel was great at our holiday party, he's an awesome piano player and had a great voice! We will definitely be using him again!
Joel Brandon was amazing. He performed for my Mother's 70th birthday brunch of around 50 guests. I asked that he'd play comfortable background dining music and he knew exactly what to play without skipping a beat. He amazed all of us with his beautiful voice and very talented keyboard playing. Joel was also nice enough to share a playlist of some of his songs and the many songs I recognized were played so well. Joel was a professional from start to finish, he showed up early to setup, he was clean cut and well dressed, and always stayed in contact prior to the event which assured me that he would not be a no show. I will definitely book Joel again and recommend him without a doubt. Thank you Joel for making our party great...
Joel Brandon was exactly what we needed for our event, the Valentino Memorial Service. This service is the oldest annual event in Hollywood history. We wanted a polished, professional singer/pianist who could impress not only our attendees, but the 3,100 people who watched the service on Facebook Live. Joel showed up on time, played the requested songs and has a great voice. He even added background music before/after. Needless to say, everyone was pleased with Joel Brandon. Highly recommended.
Joel Brandon is an incredible artist. He performed at my mom's funeral and did an amazing job. I was so impressed that he was able to find the music and perform several songs that we're not well know as well as sing one in Italian!!! EVERYONE commented on how good he was. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. I would highly recommend him for ANY event that was looking for live music. It was a blessing that my brother found him.
I hired Joel Branden to play for a dinner party where I proposed to my girlfriend (now my fianceé). Because of his eloquent contribution to our engagement, he will always be a part of our story. Thank you Joel, for making that night extra memorable.
Joel was our performer for our wedding. He played the piano and performed all the songs requested. He was amazing to work with and made sure everything was perfect for our special day. He kept the crowd entertained and most of all he has a beautiful voice! We would definitely hire Joel again. So if you are looking for someone that has a beautiful voice and can play different genres of music...look no further! Joel is your guy. Thank you again Joel!
Joel was AMAZING!!!! He has played for two of my birthday parties. He can play a huge list of songs. Everyone can sing along. One of my parties was a wine party and he was the perfect ambiance. He has such a great voice and he is so talented on the piano. We will definitely be hiring him again!!!!! If you are looking for some live music for a party or event definitely hire him.
