Ivan was great during our prep conversations and of course when he played during my vow renewal ceremony cocktail hour. Several guests advised me that they really loved the music Ivan played. We all agreed it was a nice touch to have a piano player during cocktail hour and we’re glad we hired Ivan!

Ivan provided an amazing ambience to my 45th birthday party. From the beginning, Ivan showed a great deal of professionalism. He responded within 30 minutes to my online request and after short conversation we agreed on a very fair price for his two hour performance. I was so happy to hear that he has a keyboard with the amplifier since the event place did not have an actual piano. He definitely had all of the bases covered! He was able to play good range of music from Christmas favorites (December party) to jazzy and popular tunes. I’m looking forward to booking Ivan again for the future events.

Details: Birthday party • 26 - 50 guests • 31 - 50 years old • Piano • Variety • Jazz / Blues • Dance • Oldies • Rock / classic rock • Banquet hall / ballroom

We had Ivan stop by our house for a performance among 250+ people. Everyone’s first reaction upon entering our home was “wow, what a nice treat to have a live piano player.” Ivan was courteous, quick to respond on short notice, and talented. He took requests from the partygoers and set the mood for the entire day!

Details: General event / party • 76 - 100 guests • 18 - 30 years old • Piano • Variety • Other

Ivan made our wedding ceremony SO special. He played his own, original music so we wouldn’t have any copyright issues while streaming on YouTube. Guests were blown away by his talent and passion for playing the piano. Everyone kept asking me how I found him!! He arrived early and dressed in a very nice tux. He set the mood for the whole day and should we ever need a pianist again, I am a customer for life! Hire Ivan - you will not be disappointed!!!

Details: Wedding ceremony • 25 guests or fewer • 31 - 50 years old • Piano • Other • Banquet hall / ballroom
