    Professional, talented, and personable!!

    Chris played the keyboard for our outdoor wedding ceremony and it was beyond perfect!  From the beginning of our correspondence, through our wedding day, Chris was professional and extremely easy to work with.  He helped with song selection, provided all of his own equipment, and was able to accommodate a few family members singing with him.  I highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire an amazing pianist for their event!

    Beautiful music

    I didn't work with Chris directly but he played at my wedding with Brian on the cello from Lakeside Strings. I've always wanted a Cello & Piano duo at my ceremony and Brian worked with Chris to make it happen. They took the time to rehearse my entrance sound, Halo, which sounded so beautiful and set the tone for the wedding. Chris was a friendly face, flexible to work with us, and an awesome piano player. I'd highly recommend him!

    Talented musician, would definitely recommend!!

    Chris played at our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in June. He was organized and accommodating throughout the whole planning process. In the months leading up to our ceremony, he offered to learn any new songs, if we had wanted anything that wasn’t on his comprehensive list.

    He was professional and talented. His music was beautifully played and many of our guests were complimentary. My husband and I didn’t do a first look, so when I walked down the aisle, this was our first time seeing each other. Having Chris play ‘A Thousand Years,’ as I walked down the aisle created a special moment for us. His music created an inviting and warm ambiance during cocktail hour. Chris was accommodating and flexible with a few quick setup changes when it started to sprinkle. We had a great experience with Chris and would definitely recommend him to others!

    Chris played at our wedding on September 8th, 2018 at Rich’s atrium in Buffalo! We were extremely pleased with Chris! He sounded amazing and having him play at the cocktail hour was so perfect. It was so sweet of Chris to learn “Tale as old as time” for our flower girls and my grandparents wedding song! I even added a song last minute and he learned how to play it for us! He was always quick to respond and super helpful and professional! We loved hearing him play beautiful music at our reception!

    Chris played for our wedding ceremony and it was amazing! He made the ceremony so much more beautiful. He was very easy to work with and had a huge repertoire of songs that he was able to play. His website was very helpful in being able to hear his quality of work and have his song list easily accessible. Chris gave us some suggestions as to what songs were more popular to be played at a wedding ceremony and even incorporated a song I found online that I loved. He also played accompaniment for a friend of mine who was singing during our ceremony! Chris's price was fair and his communication was prompt and professional. We have had multiple people compliment us on the music choices and how impressed they were with the pianist and the ambiance he provided. It was the perfect backdrop for our special day. I would highly recommend Chris for anyone looking to add a pianist to their special event!

    Chris was great to work with for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He really helped us with our song selections (he even learned one that we had requested) and was extremely prompt in his communications with us. We had our ceremony and reception in two different locations and he was able to accommodate set-up in both spots. He is a very talented musician and we heard many compliments on his playing from our guests. We would definitely recommend him for any event!

    Chris is an incredibly talented piano player and was a pleasure to work with! From start to finish he was very responsive and professional. We were pleasantly surprised with the wide array of music he was able to play and picked the perfect lineup for our wedding. Chris made sure to reach out a few times coming up to the wedding to make sure everything was all set and the details were confirmed. We are so happy we chose him to do the music for our wedding ceremony, it was absolutely perfect! We highly recommend him!!

    There is nothing that I would change about our experience with Chris Ott - he was the perfect vendor! We hired Chris to play piano at our wedding ceremony, and I began crying when he began playing. He was excellent. Beyond his talent, he was so easy to work with: professional, always fast to reply, and took care of things confidently. Chris was a "can-do" person for our wedding: we asked, and he made it happen. When we suggested songs for our ceremony that he didn't know, he sent demo videos from other people so that we knew what it could sound like. It was that kind of care that made us not have to think twice about how our ceremony would go. Chris' value goes far beyond his price and we are so lucky to have had him on our wedding day! THANK YOU, CHRIS!
