April 23, 2025Andrei was great!
We hired Andrei for a small wedding reception. First, he was very quick to respond. Second, he learned a few specific songs I requested that he wasn’t familiar with. He understood the type of ambiance I wanted for the event; he sent me song selections which I chose from and added to. Andrei was very easy to work with. He added to our beautiful evening! Thanks, Andrei!

March 7, 2024Phenomenal performer!
Andrei recently performed for my mother‘s birthday celebration in Siesta Key. From the beginning, he was very professional and communicative. He made sure that he knew what specific songs and types of music that I wanted to have played. He arrived on time and was very patient as we had a longer-than-anticipated gift opening to do before his set. Once he sat down at the keyboard, he commanded the attention in the room and was highly talented and entertaining. He would tell some cute jokes in between songs, and even brought his accordion to play. He had the entire room up and dancing! He definitely made the evening special and memorable. I highly recommend Andrei for your event!
