Welcome! I am a Toronto pianist and vocalist, and I provide music for weddings, parties, galas and other events. I play and sing all kinds of music including jazz, classical and pop.
I can put together a duo, trio, quartet or other combo for your event, and I can arrange to play with violin/viola and other instrumentalists/vocalists as well.
I am also part of the dance band, Disco Glitch, and we play high-energy music and hits from the last couple decades.
Previous appearances include: TIFF Tribute Gala ft. the Canadian Tenors and Stacey Kay, Amica Senior Lifestyles (Verve Retirement), Taste of the Kingsway Festival and the band Havens.
Heidi and Daniel performed at the cocktail hour during our wedding, and they were both INCREDIBLE! One of our only regrets from the wedding is not being able to spend more time listening to them because we were running around taking photos. Their jazz repertoire contained all of the songs we wanted to be played, and they made the vibes at our cocktail hour immaculate. We hope we get to see them perform again one day!
Response from Heidi Savoie - Pianist and Vocalist for Weddings and Events:
Thanks Alyssa, we were honoured to be a part of your BEAUTIFUL wedding! Hope to see you again sometime soon!
Heidi was professional and talented. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Response from Heidi Savoie - Pianist and Vocalist for Weddings and Events:
Thanks so much Bella! Glad to be a part of the bridal shower you planned so beautifully!
Heidi was a lovely addition to our dinner party where she played and sang for 2 hours. We will hopefully have an opportunity to hire her again.
Heidi was a great addition to our family holiday party. Everyone loved the music and she has a delightful sweet personality
Response from Heidi Savoie - Pianist and Vocalist for Weddings and Events:
Awe thanks Jennifer! You put on such a magical party!

Response from Heidi Savoie - Pianist and Vocalist for Weddings and Events:
Thanks so much Angela! You had a beautiful wedding which I was thrilled to be a part of!
First and foremost, Heidi was very professional and flexible with the many unexpected changes we had to make to our event. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had in preparation for the event. Heidi with Blake on the bass played beautifully, Heidi’s voice was also a wonderful addition to the event. Would definitely hire them again and recommend to anyone looking!
An amazing pianist, great communication and easy to work with.
Made my wedding ceremony magical.
Thank you again!
Heidi provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding. Would highly recommend her again.
We hired Heidi for our Xmas 2019 party in our home. I had given her a list of Xmas songs along with classic tunes that I wanted her to play. Heidi came prepared with printed lyrics for my guests and that was great. We had an incredible fun time singing holiday music and it really made the party a success. I would recommend Heidi and I hope to use her again for a future party!
I’m going to start off by saying right away how amazing Heidi is! From our early communication to her beautiful skills on the piano, she demonstrated professionalism and poise. The guests at my brother’s reception were so impressed with her array of music from classical music to original sound tracks I had requested. She even played some other familiar love songs that the guests really enjoyed. Her magical playing on the piano perfectly matched the romantic ambiance of the night. Heidi was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for any event you are hosting. I definitely would love to have her play at my own wedding! Thank you so much Heidi!

Heidi Savoie is a jazz pianist and vocalist. She comes from what is best described as a modern Von Trapp family, who know singing and playing as their only normal way to live. After years of classical training in the Royal Conservatory, she developed a deep love of the jazz tradition and studied under world-class musicians at York University and began performing in Toronto. Heidi draws inspiration from Nat King Cole, Diana Krall, Ella Fitzgerald and Laila Biali, bringing a timeless feel to contemporary music.
If necessary, I can arrange to bring a piano, vocal amplification, etc.
