November 7, 2022Beyond great !!
John and Darin hit a grand slam on this one. These guys were fabulous. We had a birthday party for 300 guests and everyone loved it. Everyone sang, danced and laughed all night long. The energy these two guys had kept the crowd going all night. The selection of music had people singing along, it was perfect for us well over 60. I've been getting text messages all morning saying how much fun the party was and how GREAT the piano guys were. No question about it, next party John Arden Music will be there tickling the ivories and providing great music for all to enjoy. If I could give 10 stars I would.

I don’t know where to start! James and David delivered an epic evening of entertainment! These guys made my 40th birthday party so special for me and my guests! Everything from James’s amazing fiddle playing to David solving a Rubiks cube while performing! This will be an evening my loved ones and I will talk about for a long time!

Testimonials
5.0 out of 5.0 Quality of Service: (5.0/5.0) Responsiveness: (5.0/5.0) Professionalism: (5.0/5.0) Value For Cost: (5.0/5.0) Flexibility: (5.0/5.0) We loved working with John at our wedding! Not only were they friendly and down-to-earth musicians but they were extremely flexible and organized with our wedding timeline and songs. I met with John once to go through the songs, contract, and wedding schedule. They immediately put themselves to work and managed everything perfectly from there. They dedicated the past nine months rehearsing our important songs for the wedding. In terms of pricing, we definitely got a lot out from the service, it was definitely a catch- they played for our cocktail and reception. DJ with a sound system and full equipment. We gave them a DJ list and they covered every song. They even add in a few songs that rocked our wedding! Our families and guests had so much fun, they didn't want the night to end. We danced the night away!!! I would definitely book with them as early as possible, your wedding will be a blast! Christine W
