Wildly Talented with A Heart of Gold
My father passed away at the end of May and being the big musical theater guy that he was, I knew we'd like to have live piano playing showtunes at his funeral. I also knew this may not really be a normal request. After struggling to find someone and being turned down quite a few times, I decided to say what the heck and gave GigSalad a shot. Within just a few minutes of posting my request, Sue sent me the loveliest message saying she'd be honored to play such an event. I actually cried reading that message because I felt like someone finally understood the vision we had for celebrating my father and after a brief phone call we booked her immediately. I cannot express enough how Sue is the epitome of professionalism and superb talent. She brought with her an extensive list of songs to choose from, and yet not a single piece of sheet music. But she didn't need it! Name quite literally any song and she can play it by heart. She was not only wonderful with the funeral guests but genuinely one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She became like a new family member for the day. It's not very often I sing in public anymore, let alone in such a time of sadness, but Sue made me feel incredibly comfortable and helped me create beautiful memories of singing with my family and friends that I'll cherish forever. Numerous people commented to me how incredible she was and asked for her booking information as well. Sue-- thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, for making my dad's service as perfect and lovely as a funeral can be. You created an atmosphere of such celebration for his life and I feel truly blessed to have found you. Most of all, I know he would've loved it. I'll absolutely be hiring again in future. Thank you!
