March 15, 2026Incredible Evening with Alisa!
I truly cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Alisa!
Alisa came to my husband’s 40th birthday party. Our specific request was a 90’s/2000’s song-along.
Alisa was a great communicator before the event. She was on time to the party. She was incredibly flexible throughout the evening and just followed our lead/the flow of the party. She seamlessly transitioned between background music and a true karaoke-style sing along. We are not good singers! And she was so patient while we stumbled through the songs! She also just seemed to genuinely have fun and was such a pleasure to have at our event.
Lastly, I’m immensely impressed by her talent. She is clearly a highly trained pianist whose site reading skills are amazing. I trust whatever kind of party you are looking to host, she will help to make it special.
Thank you so much Alisa!

January 14, 2026A Truly Magical Musical Experience: Alisa Gayle is Amazing!
We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Alisa Gayle to perform at my partner’s 50th birthday brunch, and I can say without hesitation that she was the heart and soul of the event. From the moment she arrived—early and fully prepared—Alisa exuded professionalism, warmth, and grace.
Her piano arrangements of the songs we requested were nothing short of magical. She didn’t just play the notes, she brought them to life, weaving emotion and elegance into every phrase. Her music transcended the keys and created an atmosphere that was both uplifting and intimate, exactly what we had envisioned for this special midday celebration.
What truly set Alisa apart was her ability to enhance the ambiance without ever overpowering it. Her playing was the perfect backdrop—elevating the mood, sparking conversation, and adding a touch of sophistication that our guests are still raving about weeks later.
Her fee was incredibly reasonable for the caliber of talent and care she brought to our home. In fact, we insisted on paying her more because she genuinely deserved it.
If you’re looking for a pianist who is not only technically gifted but also deeply attuned to the emotional tone of an event, Alisa Gayle is the one. She made our celebration unforgettable, and we are so grateful to have had her as part of it.

October 19, 2025The perfect accompaniment…
Alisa was the perfect accompaniment to a celebratory cocktail party in my home. She arrived early, beautifully attired, and warm in her style and greeting. For about 3-1/2 hours she played steadily - never intrusively loud but always at the perfect level so conversation was not difficult. Her choice of music was absolutely delightful and enjoyed by all. She was definitely the “right fit” for the event and was simply put, a lovely addition to have as an Integral part of the party. I would give her a five star recommendation,

We highly recommend Alisa! She is so talented and such a delight to work with. Alisa recently played at our wedding ceremony and from start to finish was so genuinely kind, polite, caring, patient, and knowledgeable. Alisa's responsiveness was above and beyond. Thank you Alisa, for helping to make our day so special!
