Birthday Party Music

Arnie was wonderful for my wife’s 65th birthday party. Booking with him was extremely easy, he was very responsive. We arrived at the party,
he was already set up and immediately began to play music we all enjoyed. He was warm, professional, talented and extremely interactive with our guests. He is a very nice guy, a real gentleman. I wouldn’t hesitate to have him at our next event. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Perfect wedding pianist

Arnie was great! He was one of our first vendors to arrive on the wedding day. Everything about his performance was perfect. He played for our ceremony and cocktail hour, setting up a keyboard outside for the ceremony and then playing a grand piano indoors during the cocktail hour. He did a great job transitioning between ceremony songs and setting the mood at the end to usher guests to cocktails. The cocktail hour music was so much fun.

A Night to Remember

Our wedding violinist Joseph was absolutely incredible. From the moment he started playing, he set the perfect romantic tone for the evening. The music was beautiful, emotional, and flawlessly performed—it truly elevated the entire atmosphere of our wedding.

Guests would not stop complimenting him throughout the night, and many said the violin was one of their favorite parts of the celebration. His talent, professionalism, and ability to read the room made the night feel magical and unforgettable.

We couldn’t have asked for a better musician to be part of such a special day. If you’re looking for someone who will add elegance, romance, and lasting memories to your event, we highly recommend Joseph.

Wedding Cocktail Hour

Arnie was very responsive from the first time we reached out to him til the last song. Our venue, Clark’s Landing has a piano in the cocktail room. We wanted live music and Arnie delivered an hour and a half of beautiful music for our guests. He played a wide variety of the classics and contemporary love songs. He even took requests and performed it all without music. We highly recommend you hire Arnie for your next event. You won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely amazing!

Arnie was absolutely amazing to work with! He played beautifully and knew every song I had requested. From the very beginning, he responded quickly to my inquiry, understood all of my requests, and even helped ease my anxiety about the unknowns of our church ceremony. He guided me step by step through what he needed from me and what I could expect from him, which gave me so much peace of mind.
In the weeks leading up to our ceremony, he stayed in communication with me, checked in beforehand, and even followed up after. His passion for what he does truly shines through in his music and his professionalism. Everything about Arnie and his service is 5 stars—I am so glad I found him!

The Absolute Best on Wedding Day

Arnie is an incredible musician and performer! We had him play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From the start, he was so kind, providing guidance on music options/selections for various settings, vibes, and music preferences. He has an incredible list of songs that cross various genres, and he can seamlessly transition from one song to another.

For our wedding, I requested a specific song not on the list, and provided a version that I loved for the processional. He learned the piece to perfection. We also had a violin trio (teens) performing a special song for us. We shared the sheet music which he kindly provided accompaniment, which elevated the performance! Leading up to the wedding, Arnie was an excellent communicator, and clearly delineated what he would need for set up and other expectations for the day.

Most importantly, so many guests shared how much they loved his music and presence during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He treated all of our guests with respect, kindness and passion. Many of our friends/guests/relatives are also musicians and they shared lovely connections and conversations which made our wedding night that much more special!

Thank you so much Arnie for being a meaningful special part of our wedding day. We highly recommend without reservations to anyone looking for a genuine, talented, incredible pianist for your wedding/event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
