    Everyone loved him at my wedding! My mom even posted about him on her Facebook 😊 he was so professional and didn’t mind that everything was hectic when he got here and kept the crowd entertained while I was running a tad late. He didn’t mind one bit and played amazing at my wedding ceremony. Thank You Vince you helped made my dream come true !wonderful work! -Jimmy & Jackie Salas

      We hired him to play at our 50-year anniversary party, focusing on music from 1968. He did this beautifully, took requests, and even provided us with a wireless mic that we were able to pass among the guests. Everyone was enjoying the music so much we paid him to stay an extra hour. He came early and was set up well before any guests arrived. He made the party happen.

      Vince entertained us at the Women's City Club of Pasadena for our Holiday Dinner Party. In short, he was fantastic! Everyone wants him to return for another fun event. He arrived early and provided music that was perfect for our cocktail hour and for our dinner. Then, he lead us in a Christmas sing-a-long around the piano. He was so gracious and warm in his approach to helping us have a fun time. His expertise and cool vibe made for a fantastic event for us. We will hire him again!

      The event has not occurred but the website is asking me these questions. So far, booking Vince has been really great. I spoke with him and he is a very great guy to talk with. We are excited for him to perform at our daughter's wedding cocktail hour.

    FAQs

    • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
      Usually $200 for the first hour. Big discounts for more hours.
    • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
      When possible, I invite couples to meet and listen to wedding ceremony selections played live for them before I get hired. It paves the way for the client to have all of the input to the music that’s going to get played. Request the songs you want. They’ll get played.
    • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
      With as many good pianists out there, you don’t need to settle for less than what you are expecting. Keep asking questions until you feel good about who you select. Settle on the one that has a history of specializing in your type of request.

    No problem: we have pros for every job.
