Mike Petrone is top notch!!

We hired Mike Petrone for our cocktail hour for our wedding. Music was the most important part for us. We wanted the best! When we were doing research, we found Mike Petrone. We knew he was the real deal right away. His voice is incredible, his band is phenomenal, and he is also an unbelievably talented piano player as well. We had the Mike Petrone Trio for our wedding. Mike Petrone was great to work with from the start. He worked with us on music genres and details of the event ahead of time. Our wedding was a destination wedding in Cleveland so most of our guests were from out of state. We knew of Mike's amazing song, Shh.. I'll Meet You in Cleveland and we asked him to play it during the Cocktail hour as a welcome to Cleveland. Our guests loved it! Everything about Mike Petrone and his band is spectacular and the music at the cocktail hour was great. Thank you so much Mike Petrone! We HIGHLY recommend hiring him for your next event!

Wonderful Pianist for my Union Club Wedding

Mike was referred to me by the Union Club and I am so glad I chose him to play at my ceremony and cocktail hour. He was fabulous, professional, and responsive. He was familiar with the venue, was able to play a unique song that I had specially selected for my processional, and worked with me to select a style of music and songs for my cocktail hour. He even accommodated us and attended my rehearsal. My only regret is that I did not book him for dinner as the guests all enjoyed it and I did not get much time to listen to his performance...he really adds a classy touch to any event! I can't thank him enough for making our big day even more special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
