Dustin is Amazing!

We hired Dustin to play piano at my brother’s wedding, and he was absolutely incredible. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, everything was so beautiful. He also accompanied a solo during the ceremony, which made it even more special and emotional.

He was professional, easy to work with, and completely self-sufficient, which is so important on such a busy, chaotic day. So many guests commented on how amazing his playing was.

If you’re looking for a pianist for a wedding or special event, I can’t recommend Dustin enough. He was such a special part of the day.

Our only regret is not hiring him to play longer : )

Thank you, Dustin!

Wedding Piano!!

Dustin was great and easy to work with. He played the ceremony for our wedding and it was perfect. And he was able to drag out the music when things slowed down. He was even able to learn new music. Definitely recommend for weddings!!

Fantastic Performance!

Dustin is a true professional and an accomplished pianist. He was hired to perform at our outdoor wedding ceremony for pre-ceremony music and also the for the full ceremony music. He worked with us on selecting song titles and suggested improvements along the way. He attended the vendor visitor day, provided the COI as needed and was a pleasure to work with all the way through. We also invited him to stay for dinner and the reception afterward. I highly recommend Dustin if you are looking for a wedding pianist. 5 STARS all the way!

Super talented and kind!

Dustin was an absolute DREAM! He was so easy to work with from the start- even when my husband and I were constantly sending him updates! He was so understanding and patient and his communication is prompt and helpful! Our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour were set to his playing, and everyone was so happy with his set! Our ceremony was PERFECT!!! He played all our requests, even my favorite song from My Chemical Romance. It was such a pleasure to have him at our wedding, and if you’re thinking about live music for your wedding- Dustin is the best choice! So much love!

Exceeded expectations

Dustin was incredibly easy to work with - took my music suggestions, augmented with great ones of his own, stayed in communication with the venue and was there on time. Not to mention his music added a touch of class to our rehearsal dinner event. I’d hire him again in a second. Great professional!
