Dan Zemelman - Pianist & DJ

We hosted a surprise 50th birthday celebration for my husband, and Dan provided the entertainment for our intimate gathering of 12. The surprise was perfectly executed, and I could not have pulled it off without Dan's assistance. Especially the minor detail of not owning a piano... Dan offered to bring his keyboard, and blew me away with his very professional (and stealth) set up.

I gave Dan a very brief overview of the types of music my husband prefers, and he assembled a play list with suggestions that were dead on (everything from Bach to Jazz, Movie Themes to Peanuts). He has a great range and relaxed style, and engaged our audience all evening. There was even dancing! :)

Thank you so much for accommodating our later than planned start and the random song requests from our guests. I would definitely recommend Dan for anyone planning an unforgettable experience!

Dan did an amazing job for my partners birthday party. I found him initially through Craigslist and we emailed back and forth multiple times prior to the event. He arrived early to familiarize himself with the piano and started just as guests began to arrive. He did a great job with the music that he prepared. Everyone including myself were impressed with his talent as well as with his range of music. I really didn't need to guide him with the music other than informing him of genres of music, and artists that my partner listens to. I plan on contacting Dan again in the future for similar events.

Dan played for our wedding ceremony. He was helpful during the entire planning process. We wanted specific modern songs to be played and he made it happen. He even brought his own piano and speaker system in case the one the church provided wasn't what he required. Overall, he went with the flow of the ceremony and it was a beautiful ceremony. Thank you Dan!

Dan did a great job of setting the right mood at our conference reception. We were looking for something classy and Dan understood what we wanted right away and took care of the rest. The music was great, Dan is very professional, and everything went very smoothly. I never felt I had to worry about the music, which was great, because there were many other things I needed to take care of at such a large event.

We hired Dan to play at our wedding ceremony in Palo Alto at a Catholic Church. He helped us pick out our music choices without even meeting him and arrived and performed just as promised. Dan is professional, punctual, and plays great music. I highly recommend him for your next event.
