I had a pianist back out a few months before my wedding and I am lucky to have found Steve. He is very professional and responsive. Our wedding guests loved his performance and continue to compliment him. If you are looking for a pianist for your wedding, hire Steve!

Steve is THE best!

I am so happy that we found Steve on WeddingWire! I loved how much his website shared about his musical ability and repertoire. We knew that he was the perfect fit for our recent wedding reception. Our guests continue to rave about how much they enjoyed his music and how much fun they had. I would not hesitate to book Steve again and sincerely hope we get to work together for future celebrations!

Steve is a very talented pianist! I recently had the pleasure of working with him at a client's wedding, and his ceremony performance was perfect. He plays both classical and modern pieces effortlessly, and can even accompany other live performers like soloists. Very professional, very elegant. Hope to work with him again.

Steve Shoaf is an incredibly talented pianist from every angle. He can provide the perfect instrumental background, ceremony, or reception music AND he can accompany any singer - even himself! I've had the pleasure of working with Steve and he was able to pick up large amounts of unfamiliar music and play it all flawlessly. Additionally, he accompanied me as I sang several songs during a wedding ceremony with ease. If you are looking for an adaptable musician who can do it all, you will be so pleased to have Steve as a part of your wedding.
