Krista is a pleasure to work with as both a musician and a performer. She is prompt and efficient with her setup and brings a high level of energy while playing, which engages the audience and gets them singing and dancing along. She has the greatest smile for everyone she engages with and her spirit is positive, creative, and genuine.

Krista performed at our wedding ceremony earlier this month in the Yosemite Valley Chapel. She was so easy to work with in planning, collaborating for the sequence of the songs, working with our ceremony program, and modifying songs as needed in real time to adjust to the timing of the processional, etc. As the bride (who is the last to arrive to the ceremony), I only wish I had been present earlier so I could have enjoyed the music she played beforehand. Many of our guests shared how much they enjoyed the songs she played on the piano and I am grateful Krista trekked out into the park to provide us with wonderful music for our little ceremony that afternoon. Her positivity, flexibility, kindness, and talent made working with her a fantastic experience. We highly recommend her for any event where you need excellent piano music.

Thank you so much, Christina! It was an honor to play for your ceremony, and I'm so happy that you and your guests enjoyed the music. Cheers!
Krysta's performance at our 40th birthday party was nothing short of phenomenal. Her musical prowess left everyone in awe as she effortlessly played a diverse repertoire of amazing songs. Krysta's ability to gauge the atmosphere and choose the perfect tunes ensured the party's vibe was always on point. Her captivating melodies and engaging personality made the evening truly unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better pianist to elevate our celebration. If you're seeking top-notch talent for your event, Krysta is the one to make it an exceptional experience. Our heartfelt thanks to her for making our milestone birthday truly special.

Thank you, Cinthia! I'm glad the event went well and that you and your guests enjoyed the music. Thank you for having me!
Wow, Krista made our party a huge success! She had a great selection of music to play and easily handled requests. Krista was very comfortable playing our 1932 baby grand piano and really made it shine. All of our guests were so happy to be there and loved engaging with Krista while she played. We will have Krista play piano at all of our future parties!

Additional Booking Notes
If there is not a piano on site, I am able to bring my own electric keyboard and amplifier, as well as all associated cables and stands.
Here is some additional information about the keyboards and other equipment I use:
KORG SV-1
This is a modern electric keyboard with a beautiful vintage look, so I typically use this keyboard for events when I need a keyboard with weighted keys like a real piano. This keyboard both looks and sounds beautiful!
ROLAND FA-06
This is a smaller keyboard with some powerful features. I use this one for my One Man Band and Singing Pianist shows, since I am able to split the keyboard and get a bass and piano sound at the same time, creating a nice full instrumental sound. I also use this keyboard to run drum tracks and add more rhythmic energy to my performances.
ROLAND KC 350
The tried-and-true, trusty amp for keyboardists everywhere! It has multiple channels, so I use this to amplify both my keyboard and my voice at shows were I will be playing and singing. If there is a piano on site, I bring this speaker so that I can use my microphone to boost my voice.
SENNHEISER E835
I love this microphone! I originally had a standard SM-58 microphone but I accidentally lost it on a gig, so I decided to make the best of the loss and upgrade to a better microphone. Best misfortune I've ever had! I'm a huge fan of this microphone, and recommend it to all singers.
