60th Birthday Celebration
Pianist
5.0
August 30, 2026
1 hour
We hired Dave to play piano for at my 60th birthday, and he was fantastic. From the moment guests arrived, the music set exactly the right tone — relaxed and welcoming, with a warmth that filled the room. Dave read the crowd beautifully and kept everyone smiling throughout.
He closed out his hour by leading the whole room in “Happy Birthday,” which was the perfect way to cap off the celebration — everyone singing together, a moment I won’t forget.
If you want live piano that genuinely elevates an event, Dave is your guy. Thank you, Dave, for helping make a milestone birthday unforgettable!

About booking Pianists in Northbrook, IL
Piano music can add a touch of elegance to any gathering! Hire a pianist to provide background music at your corporate event, wedding ceremony, restaurant, cocktail hour, or holiday party. Some pianists are vocalists as well and can sing and play all your favorite songs. These professionals can perform many styles of music across multiple musical genres including jazz, pop, classical, and more.
The cost of hiring a professional pianist in Northbrook, Illinois will vary depending on the type of event, the length of the performance, and the piano player’s skill level. Classically trained pianists with years of experience performing will often charge more than those that are just getting started playing piano for private events.
