Amy was hired as a last minute performer for our Holiday Party as a pianist, since the pianist we hired got sick. She was so professional from the first minute i hired her from clearly communicating on details, to great music suggestions as well.
At the Party she arrived promptly , she was very professional. Her playing is just beautiful all our guests commented on her some already talked to her to hire her for future events.
She not only played great selections , but took requests as well with such an ease , her repertoire is amazing. She also sings and has a great voice with beautiful tone and full of soul.She also knows how to work a crowd and bring cheerfulness out in them.
Again I would highly recommend Amy to any event since she is so versatile and great to work with, she will definitely be our pianist to go to as well as all of our friends for any event .

Thank you Jenny ! Let us know if you have any other parties in the near future.

Amy was incredibly responsive, she helped me piece together a wonderful list of songs with the ones we had I mind already. Truly impressed by her and the violinist they were just masterful. The jitters kick in as you get ready to walk but my song was calming, seeing my future wife walk down to her song was just a incredible. My wedding day was just as amazing as I had wanted it to be and more so with this amazing music filling the room. Thank you so much, I certainly hope you too are able to enjoy an amazing performance!

Contacted her few days before my event. She reached out to me to make sure she had all the things we wanted. She even learned a song that I wanted for my grandfather's funeral. This was an in-person mixed with a facebook live event and she did great!

Felix- Thank you for those kind words. I look forward to playing music for you and your family in the future ! I enjoyed making your special day memorable.

We hired Mrs. Amy for our wedding on 6/27/20.
Mrs. Amy was very accommodating and professional from the initial date of booking as well as her lovely personality which was consistent throughout the process. We requested 3 specific pieces for Mr. Amy to play which she studied them and wrote out the notes for her to perform for us, which she did excellent. We enjoyed her so much we asked her to stay an additional hour. We would highly recommend Mrs. Amy for any special occasion.

Easy to work with and found my songs. Music was well done.

Response from Amy Lauro:
Thank you for that wonderful review!! I enjoyed playing for your special event.

Amy was fabulous! She was perfect for the casual Choir/Theatre High School holiday party. Amy played Christmas, Disney Musical and Broadway favorites while the teenagers sang in the music room or in adjacent rooms while decorating gingerbread houses, playing board games and on their phones. When someone requested a specific song, Amy was able to play it sight unseen. Many of the musicals she had memorized. Amy was fun, personable and professional! We would hire her again in a second.

Amy was our guitarist for our grand opening event for a brand new community (new construction homes). She was very communicative, informative, and did a great job at the event. Not only did she do a great job getting with us beforehand for the details, but she executed everything perfectly the day of. I am so glad that we chose her to assist us with this event. It was a huge hit and everyone was into the style of music she was playing. Will definitely use Amy in the future for any music needs that we have!

Amy Lauro is the consummate professional and an awesome pianist. Hired her to entertain for a small birthday party. Her cheerful demeanor and rapport with my party guests was great!! She also sang a couple of songs as well and was very accommodating when asked to perform a special song for guest of honor. I highly recommend her for any upcoming special occasion you have.
Jazz Singer, Pianist
Response from Amy Lauro:
Thanks so much!

Lacked motivation, did not insight party atmosphere, and acted as another party invitee. Had to be frequently redirected to return to play after taking multiple breaks. Inappropriately intruded in conversation by uninvitely mingling with party guests. Had to be dismissed approximately 2 hours prior to her contracted time. What a waste of money and time!
Pianist
Response from Amy Lauro:
I was hired to play piano for this party and asked to play classical and popular piano music, especially Beethoven. I played a variety of classical and popular tunes. I had many compliments from guests with regards to my playing. Since I was contracted to play for 6 hours, I knew I needed to pace myself and take several breaks. During those breaks, I was able to talk with guests who were very eager to converse with me. After 4 hours of playing, the host asked me to take a break so he could play some more "uptempo" dance music on his stereo. It was at this point that the host decided that he no longer needed a pianist and would like to play music from his home stereo. It was regrettable that the communication was not clear between the host and myself with regards to musical selections.

Amy was such a pleasure to work with in planning the music for our Wedding. She offered great suggestions and was extremely accommodating in playing our special songs for the wedding. She certainly helped to make our day a very special one. She has a wonderful personality and did an outstanding job. Should an occasion rise again that we would need an organist, I will certain call Amy first. Thanks again Amy for making our wedding a very special occasion.
