Terese gave an amazing performance. Her playing showed that she researched the required music, preparing
it to perfection. She came ready to play with keyboard and amp perfect for the venue. She joined in the fun
and became a real member of band. I would definitely hire her again for the Bavarian Beergarden Band !

Thank you for playing so beautifully at moms party. Terese was very professional and flexible. My niece wanted to sing a specific song Terese had not played.. we found the sheet music online and she accompanied my 15 yr old nice. So nice of her!

Thank you Denise. It was an honor to play the piano for your moms celebration of life gathering. 🎹
Therese is a talented and kind pianist. I booked her on Friday for a Sunday brunch to celebrate my grandmothers life. She nailed it on music selection, showed up on time, and played beautifully through the whole event. The overall experience was perfect, and her professionalism was appreciated during a tough time. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Thank you Blue. It was our pleasure to provide the music for you and you wonderful family at your Christmas Eve party.
We hired Terese to play piano for our sing-along Christmas party for the second time. She was very helpful in figuring out the best timing for the evening. She played all of the songs we requested along with background music at the beginning and end. She was able to speed up and slow down on a dime to keep up with our (dreadful!) singing. Everyone had a blast and we will definitely hire her again for the next party!

Terese was lovely. She understood the room and the tone I wanted to evoke for my daughter's bridal shower. Her repertoire was varied and vast, but in keeping with our theme. I can highly recommend her to anyone looking to add musical talent to their even.

Thank you so much Deborah. It was a pleasure!
Terese was incredible to work with. We had the joy of having her play for our wedding reception, cocktail hour, and meal time. From the beginning, Terese was extremely professional with the coordination and helping us pick songs. She had an absolutely perfect song list prepared and we loved everything that she played throughout the evening. The atmosphere would not have been the same without her- and guests were raining compliments about her playing and the songs. As a professional, she knew much more than us about which points of the ceremony required cues, had wonderful recommendations for songs, and the volume and style were perfect.
This was my first time hiring with GigSalad and I was a bit nervous, but Terese was responsive, creative, punctual, and an incredible musician. I would hire her again with zero hesitation and can only imagine how perfect she would be for other gigs.
Perfect were the selection of music, volume, and all agreements and communication cordial and as planned. The music and musician herself added a quality of loveliness to our event. We feel fortunate to have connected with her through Gigsalad and would not hesitate to ask her back or highly recommend. Thank you!

It was a joy to meet you and play for your event. Also, you had a wonderful group of people and a beautiful environment. Hope to hear from you again in the future!
As stated in other reviews, Terese is a total pro. She understood exactly what I wanted for my wife's 50th birthday party and came well prepared. In fact, she and her husband knew my party guests better than I. They assured me that as the party progressed, so would the sing-along participation. They were right and everyone had a great time.

This was my first time hiring a musician from Gig Salad and I was really pleased with how everything worked out. Terese was punctual, professional, talented and accommodating. My dinner guests didn't expect live music; it was a great addition to our night.
