24 years of piano playing experience.

Sam is so incredibly talented and we are so happy we chose her to play the piano for our wedding day! Thank you Sam for playing such a special part in our day!
Response from Samantha Lynn:
Aw, thanks Liz!! I felt so honored to play for your wedding ceremony! You and Leigh are the best!
Sam was amazing. She provided the perfect background for our event. All night and everyone I have talked to since has mentioned her. If I need a pianist again, I will definitely book her.
Response from Samantha Lynn:
This is so sweet, Wyatt! So glad to hear that everyone enjoyed my playing at your fundraiser. I'd be more than happy to play again!
Samantha was wonderful. I highly highly recommend her!!!!!!
Response from Samantha Lynn:
Thank you so much, Clare! You and your family are the sweetest and made me feel so at home and appreciated as I was playing. I sincerely enjoyed playing for your dinner party and would love to do it again!
Sam was punctual, professional, and friendly. She arrived prepared and played beautiful holiday music on our grand piano, which brought elegance and class to the event. This was a holiday open house. Guests all commented that it was so festive to have a pianist. We will definitely request Sam for another event!
Terrific experience using the app and booking with no hassle. Sam was very responsive and fine-tuned her set list to meet our requests.
Thank you!!
Response from Samantha Lynn:
Jody! It was so much fun playing for your cocktail party. Thanks to you and your family for being so welcoming, feeding me dinner and checking in with me while I was performing. Your house and the space were so beautiful! I'd love to play for you again!
I hosted an event at The Stratford, a retirement facility in Carmel. Samantha played the piano for the guests who thoroughly enjoyed the music. She selected and played songs we all knew and loved. I would highly recommend her for any event where you want to add some fun and entertainment.
Response from Samantha Lynn:
Thanks so much, Loren! I loved playing for this unique event!
Samantha has been coming to Bickford of Carmel for some time now, and the residents absolutely love her! She does not hesitate to get to know the residents when she is visits, and although she plays piano beautifully, it is the relationships that she builds with our lovely people that really set her apart! If you are looking for someone who goes above and beyond, then look no further because Samantha is Sensational!
Sam did an amazing job playing piano for my wedding. She even found a vocalist who was in our price range and who sang beautifully. She went above and beyond! I can't recommend her enough! Thank you so much Sam
Response from Samantha Lynn:
Thank you so much, Anna! It was inspiring to play for such a beautiful and kind couple. :) What a beautiful church and selection of songs! I wish you and Sam all the best in your marriage!
We booked Sam for our Grand Opening event for Harmony at Avon and she was absolutely wonderful!! We had so many compliments on her playing and it made our event just perfect!!
Sam accompanied several events while in high school, including all-school Masses, various accompaniments for choral ensembles, concerts, theatrical productions, and many special occasions on and off campus. Even back then, Sam approached and performed each gig with the standard of excellence found among professional musicians. What makes her special is her willingness to serve, responsibility to her craft, musicianship and overall artistry, and her amazing humility and joy - just a true servant's heart!
I hired Sam as an accompanist for liturgies and we worked together on a weekly basis for two years. She is a wonderful piano player and a quick learner. We had new music every week and her playing was always excellent. Whether she was working with a choir of voices, or just one singer, she was versatile and capable. She has a great attitude about everything, very easy to work with, and a fantastic musician! I highly recommend!
Response from Samantha Lynn:
Thank you so much, Clarisa! You were an excellent guide and I looked forward to our time together at Mass and in rehearsals every week! I so appreciate your kind and generous words.
Samantha did a great job accompanying for the Notre Dame Celebration Choir and playing for masses at our beautiful DeBartolo Performing Arts Center. She is easy to work with, is classically trained, but a versatile player.
Response from Samantha Lynn:
Thank you, Karen! My time with the Celebration Choir at Notre Dame was one of the highlights of my time there. I really enjoyed working with you and playing for rehearsals, after the football games and on our choir tour my sophomore year.
We hired Samantha this summer for a local charity fundraiser. We didn’t have any specific songs in mind but wanted the music to be upbeat and fun for all the patrons attending the event. She had a plethora of material and was so talented! She even played some crowd pleasers like Don’t Stop Believing. It was a great event, and Samantha made it even better by providing entertainment for the night.
Response from Samantha Lynn:
Thank you! It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed playing for you and the patrons.

Piano skills and meticulous technique are a given.
What sets me apart is my promise to tailor my act to your particular event, and an utmost sense of communication and professionalism-- from the moment you request a quote, to the end of and payment for a gig.
My most 'standard' wedding or event repertoire includes hits from some of my biggest musical influences: including, but not limited to Billy Joel, Elton John, John Legend, The Beatles, and Jon McLaughlin. But what I can and am willing to learn to play is effectively unlimited. Typically, I will ask for you influences, favorite songs, or expected event 'aesthetic', and present a list of songs I can play. Then, what I actually bring to the event performance ready becomes a product of consistent communication between you and I-- adding and deleting songs up until a week before the event. I have an 'ask and I will make it happen' policy-- request a song and I will do everything I can to find, and perfect it.
I will provide you my cell phone number for guaranteed and personal communication, but will always respond within 24 hours.
I love nothing more than playing the piano and have been doing so since I was just 7 years old.
At 31 years old, my experience ranges from pursuing a Piano Performance Music Major at the University of Notre Dame, to playing the keyboard in a blues rock band in high school, to accompanying choirs and theater groups in both college and high school. I've played at weddings, wedding cocktail hours, funerals, dinner parties, senior living homes and more, and am open and so excited to expand my portfolio as much as possible. I work full-time in nonprofit consulting but am available after work hours and on weekends.
Let me share my talent and passion for this beautiful art form with you today!
