Katherine played very well, and everyone really appreciated her! She brings a warm personality and significant musical talent to any event she is part of.
Couldn’t have asked for a better pianist for our micro wedding.
Stunning musician and vocalist - and she didn’t mind us trying to sing along!
You would be remiss to not hire Kathryn for any and all your events!
Katherine brought life to our dinner party last night. She played all requested songs and was very interactive with the guests. She even got everyone up to dance . She knows a wide range of music and she is a great pianist and singer. Everyone was impressed and had a great time. I highly recommend her . Katherine, thank you for making my 50th birthday a memorable one.
Katherine did an amazing job at our wedding. She was extremely flexible and did such an amazing job fulfilling our requests. Our guests loved her!
Katherine played the keyboard for our wedding outdoors in a garden and she absolutely blew everyone away! All of her communication leading up to the event was spot on and she showed up and did a wonderful job. She played all of the songs we wanted at the right times, and even improvised perfectly when things started to run behind at the beginning of the ceremony. Katherine is very sweet and is a very skilled piano/keyboard player. You will not regret booking her for your event!
Katherine is very gifted in singing, she is capable of playing a wide range of music . We asked her what we could have her play and she told us if she didn't know it she would learn it for us.
It was a pleasure meeting Katherine, and would love to have her back.

I made the right choice when I selected Ms. Katherine Elise. The occasion was not a happy one; I needed a musician to carry a memorial service in a small funeral chapel. It was a last minute request, but she learned 4 songs the evening before the service and came fully prepared to accompany the soloists. This young lady bright so much light and positive energy in addition to her brilliant talent. She even learned the lyrics and totally surprised me when she filled in the lead vocal for one soloist who became too emotional to complete the song. I was/am extremely impressed with Katherine as well as my family. She set the tone for a Celebration of Life, not a funeral.
Katherine played at a Christmas party at our home. She could play anything we asked for and had a beautiful singing voice as well. She led us in singing Christmas carols and entertained throughout the night. She was also just a delightful, fun person to have as part of our family gathering. I will definitely hire her again.
