We were so fortunate to have this pianist perform for my brother’s first dance! Even with the short notice we gave him, he did a beautiful job recreating my brothers favorite song, "Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra. Noah incorporated his signature jazzy feel and it made the moment feel even more special. I appreciated that he was professional and knew how to create an emotional atmosphere that focused on the bride and groom. Definitely would book him again!
