October 22, 2023Bill was fabulous!
I hired Bill to play for my 40th birthday party that was hosted in a Rio Suite. He was super easy to work with and made my event very memorable. Everyone loved him! I will definitely be hiring him again if I ever have any other similar events. I highly recommend hiring him for your event!

May 2, 2023Super Entertaining!!!!
I hired Bill for my daughter’s birthday pre-dinner entertainment. He was punctual, had an extensive playlist to choose from, took requests and his piano playing was amazing!!! I asked for a song that was not on his playlist and he actually learned it with just a few hours notice. Everyone in my family really enjoyed the music. Oh, and he sings!…I didn’t ask him to bring a mic but he managed without one. Great entertainment and can’t wait to have another get together to have him play for us.

About
Bill Forrest is one of the top-rated event pianists in Las Vegas, as well as a regular Schooner Bar pianist at RCCl's signature piano bar, where a complete range of ages and nationalities have appreciated his talent
Whether you want him to be the show, or provide sophisticated ambiance, Bill's got you covered!
Here is an dead-on assessment of Bill's performance from Stewart Stuber on Cruise Critic:
"Bill is a gifted musician whose passion and talent of playing the piano is only surpassed by insuring the audience is fully entertained. We were fortunate we caught his show on Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas. From Classical, Rock to Ragtime whatever he needs to play to insure the audience is having a good time. Not only does he have an impressive range as a musician, he works solely without a net, no pre-recorded assistance - what you see is what they get. You would be cheating yourself to not go give him a listen."
