A highly-trained and knowledgeable pianist and organist, I have played over 100 weddings. I'm familiar with a wide array of classical, jazz, popular and musical tunes, and enjoy continuing to learn new music. An accomplished solo, duo and small group performer, I am connected with many other high-caliber musicians.
Megan was incredible to work with for our wedding. She was so accommodating and her piano playing skills are top notch. Would absolutely recommend her for any event!

Less than a month out from our wedding, we were informed that our church's organist would not be able to perform for our ceremony, so we were in dire need of a new organist. I found Megan's information through gig salad and promptly reached out about whether she would be able to travel to Erie and play for our ceremony. So messaged me back in no time at all and we began discussing what we needed and our song selection.
Trusting her, I left the music selection to her judgement and I could not be happier that I did. Our ceremony went flawlessly, all thanks to her incredible performance. Even after a slight delay from having to go find the ring bearer's pillow which lengthened our intro song, it went unnoticed because Meghan continued playing and it was incredible.
I could not recommend Meghan enough if you need a professional organist for any manner of events. Her professionalism and song selection absolutely made the event.
Response from Megan Denman, Pianist:
Thank you so much, Alan for your kind words! It was a privilege to be a part of your ceremony.
Megan's music exceeded our expectations. Played all of our music requests. Made our party a very special event.
Response from Megan Denman, Pianist:
Bob,
Thank you so much for having me play at your party! Everyone was so nice, and it seemed like they really had a good time, I did too!
Megan was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding ceremony and cocktail music... not to mention her music is beautiful. We were told all evening how the guests at our wedding thought the music at the ceremony was absolutely wonderful, and it’s all because of her. Megan, thank you so much. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have changed a thing about working with you. For any future music needs of mine or my families, we will absolutely be in touch.
Response from Megan Denman, Pianist:

I hired Megan to perform holiday music at our company's Christmas luncheon. She was wonderful. She was very well prepared. She brought a book of music with her to handle requests. All of the employees really enjoyed her music. I would definitely hire Megan again.

As a classically trained pianist who also committed to years of jazz piano studies, I have the artistry and versatility to play just about any style or genre you'd like, so long as it works on the piano. If I don't know a tune, I can find it via the internet and learn it quickly for your event.
I love catering to my clients' needs and the variety of gigs that result from evolving tastes!

I own a Casio Privia piano and high-quality Roland amp which I am happy to bring to your event at no extra charge.
For pianos and organs onsite, please confirm it to be in good tune and in working order before the event. The last thing anyone wants is an event to be ruined by an incapable instrument!
