Thank you so much for your kind review, Freddy! I look forward to performing at the next party!
We first heard Will play during our engagement photoshoot at the Kirkland waterfront and instantly fell in love. At the time, we were debating on having a live musician for our wedding, but after hearing Will, we were convinced we needed to. Will played during our cocktail hour and he was amazing! All the guests raved about how wonderful he was and couldn't believe at first that the music was live. Will was so easy to work with, flexible, and went above and beyond - he even learned a few songs from an artist he wasn't familiar with on short notice. Would highly recommend Will for your event! Almost want to get married again, just to be able to have him come play!

Thank you so much for your review, Andy! I'm so glad to hear how much you and your guests enjoyed the music. Your wedding was truly one of the most heartfelt and sincere I've ever been a part of and I'm so honored to have been included!
I’ve known Will for several years now, first discovering his incredible talent while he was busking at the Kirkland Marina. From the moment I heard him, I knew he was something special—he truly made our evening! A couple of years ago, my daughter surprised me by booking him for my birthday, and it was such a treat! He has an amazing repertoire of pop and worship songs, always asking beforehand which songs we’d like to hear and preparing a tailored playlist that perfectly fits the mood of the event.
He consistently shows up on time, charges reasonably, and performs tirelessly without taking breaks. Rain or shine, he’s ready to go and even adjusts his volume to ensure the neighbors are happy—a true professional! This time, at my 40th birthday party, he went above and beyond, staying overtime so my daughter could use his mic and amp to perform on her guitar for my guests. He also took song requests from my guests, making everyone feel included and adding a personal touch to the evening.
If you’re looking for a reliable, talented, and genuinely kind musician who can adapt to any event, look no further than Will Friend. He’s become a special part of our family celebrations, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Anna! I'm so glad I was able to help make your birthday extra special. I can't wait to be a part of your next celebration!
Will played piano and sang for my son’s first birthday party at the Kirkland waterfront. He was very responsive and great to communicate with. I requested if he could play some kids songs which he was happy to do. Will did an amazing job at the event where multiple guests commented on how good he was. I would definitely use him again for future events.

Thank you so much, Rashed! I'm happy to hear you and your guests enjoyed the music. It was so fun playing for all the kiddos! I hope to perform for you again in the future!
I've hired Will for every romantic event I've set up for my partner.
Surprising her with a custom song in the park, at the airport, at a custom venue. Will has it all and, most importantly, cares about the details.
On a personal note, working with Will is incredibly rewarding, as his enthusiasm and excitement adds a lot to my events <3
13/10, have hired him multiple times and would hire him again :)

What to Expect
What you can expect to hear when hiring Will to perform at an event varies quite a bit depending on what you're looking for. He caters the setup of his performance and type of music to the needs of each specific event. Some events want Will to play easy listening background music on piano to create a relaxed atmosphere. Some want to crank it up with a full blown band to get people on their feet and dancing. Others want a little of both or something in between. At the end of the day, Will's goal is to customize the perfect atmosphere for each individual client to make their event truly unforgettable.
