Awesome Talent and Repertoire

We thoroughly enjoyed having Jim play for my daughter's wedding reception. He was punctual, professional and played wonderfully for two hours. Many of the guests commented on how nice the music was and my daughter was thrilled with his addition to the atmosphere of the reception. Don't hesitate to book Jim should you have an event where you would like a pianist.

No one better!

Jim Bergstedt is exceptionally talented and very professional. He played at our rehearsal dinner for our wedding. It was beautiful. We have heard him play countless times since then, and he always does an excellent job. Very highly recommended.

Well-Prepared for 3 hr. Wedding & Dinner

Jim was very professional. He responded quickly to all of my messages. He prepared the requested music and also brought his own good ideas to the event. He played for three hours for a wedding ceremony and dinner. He was easy to work with and well prepared. I would recommend him.

Excellent Pianist - Highly recommend him

Jim Bergstedt is extremely talented on the piano. He played at our wedding reception and I have heard him play at other events as well. In fact, we first heard him play at a very fine restaurant in Salt Lake City. After hearing him, we knew we had to have him to play at our wedding. He plays such a wide selection of music that fits perfectly for any event. I would definitely recommend him and will gladly use him again.

What to expect

Following one of my gigs, one event planner wrote, "Jim played the piano at our wedding reception and I highly recommend him. It made our wedding day even that much more special. He is very talented, fun, and enjoyable to listen to. I have also heard him play on many other occasions including at The Roof restaurant. You will be very satisfied and amazed with his musical talents on the piano."

Countless others have expressed similar sentiments, one individual stating that my music had a healing component that provided much-needed relief during a particularly stressful time of life.

Whether the focal point of your evening or light background music, allow me to offer your event the finishing touches it deserves!

About

I have nearly thirty years of piano experience, playing at venues throughout the Wasatch Front and as a regular pianist at The Roof Restaurant and the Inn at Temple Square. I have performed at weddings, wedding receptions, conventions, company parties, funerals, and more. I also accompany choirs and other musicians.

Additional booking notes

I am flexible on location and setup--simply make sure there is a piano or keyboard available and I am there. I am happy to provide a sample copy of my repertoire for your review prior to the event to give you a feel for the broad selection of music I play and/or to allow you to select the specific songs you would like performed.
