Justin did a great job for our wedding cocktail hour. Really great solo piano to start it off, and then broke out the accordion and the kids loved it and started dancing to the music! Would hire again and recommend to others.
Justin was a great addition to our event!
Justin was unavailable but coordinated with one of his understudies to perform at our event. She was professional, polite, and a wonderful musician. It was a great experience from start to finish.
Justin was the highlight of our event. Amazing job!
Response from Justin's Piano, Accordion, and Small Ensembles:
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to do the oompah and classic rock for the Oktoberfesting Brokers!
He played a variety of songs, was professional and great to deal with!
Justin is a brilliant, gifted pianist--versatile, accommodating, and truly exceptional. We gave him a long list of music that my dad loved and he played every song. I highly recommend him for any gathering with every genre of music.
Response from Justin's Piano, Accordion, and Small Ensembles:
Thank you so much Cynthia, you and your family were so nice to me and I wish the best. It is wonderful to hear that my talent is helping families.
Justin played a broad range of repertoire throughout the evening! He was accommodating and versatile. Our guests enjoyed his entertainment tremendously!
Response from Justin's Piano, Accordion, and Small Ensembles:
Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure being a part of Stefan's BarMitzvah. If ever convenient, please let me know if its easy to forward those pictures!
I can only recommend Justin. Very versatil pianist. And he did a great job playing music by mexican composers at the Mexican Cultural Institute.. Job well donde!
I want to thank him for being completely flexible for my venue, it happened to make my night as well as my partners. I highly recommend him for anybody looking to book.
Response from Justin's Piano, Accordion, and Small Ensembles:
Thanks Darren,
I know it was tough trying to work things out last minute but I am glad I could help pull something special together for you and your partner!
We hired Justin for a family funeral at Arlington National. He was prompt to call after scheduling, dealt with the extra-steps it takes to get clearance for military base entry, had a very short time to practice with a family singer, and made the memorial so much better with his beautiful accompaniment. He also offered to play a few jazz standards while we were waiting for the service to start. We were very lucky to book this accomplished musician!
Response from Justin's Piano, Accordion, and Small Ensembles:
Kristina is was wonderful to accompany your beautiful voice. I am glad I made the experience very easy and special for everyone and appreciate the review.
Justin is a truly talented musician with an extensive catalog of songs. He is very versatile and brings a great attitude and energy to his performances. He definitley knows how to help make any party or event fun and exciting!
Justin was great from the moment he arrived. Everyone enjoyed the caroling and he even brought out his accordion and took requests for his “encore”.
Justin was the centerpiece of our party. Everybody loved him. He even played some accordion to mix it up a bit. We will definitely have him back for our next cocktail party.
Energetic, lively, enthusiastic multi-talented young fellow with piano, accordion, and foot cymbal entertained all of us and was perfect for this very special day.

Expect someone to be cheerful, on time, and respect what you desire for your specific event. Playing piano is the easy part that's a given. When you choose me, you will find that I want to go the extra mile and contribute to the theme of your event. I've had people request dozens of songs to me within 48 hours and I did what I could to make it work so they could get their ideal experience. Planning an event can be tough, and a lot of times things will not go as plan. I understand that being a professional means being flexible and being ready for any change-ups. I take pride in trying to be the best prepared I can be, while also being flexible to provide your specific customer service experience.
