Thank you, Karen! It's so nice to have received your positive feedback from my performance last night! It's always a pleasure to play background music during such a wonderful occasion as a wedding shower! There was an upbeat and positive energy in the room and everyone looked like they were having a great time. Thank you for choosing me as your pianist, I know you have many to chose from and I feel grateful for it!
Best regards,
Glenn

My husband and I cannot recommend Glenn Kramer enough! Glenn worked closely with us on our wedding song requests, even learning some news ones we were keen on hearing. He responded almost instantaneously to all of our many questions and messages, and he was extremely professional and friendly to us and our wedding guests. Not only did he exceed all of our expectations, he even snuck in some AMAZING behind the scenes wedding photos in his downtime with his phone, that he later passed along to us. BOOK HIM!!!
Glenn - thank you again for everything, you are so talented and we loved having you play on our special day.

Carrie,
It warms my heart to know that the music I performed for your wedding was exactly what you were looking for! You and your husband selected such wonderful pieces for me to play during Cocktail Hour, and I enjoyed playing piano for your celebration immensely. I'm glad you loved the photos I sent you as well :) It's always a pleasure working for great clients like yourself!! Keep me in mind again for any events in the future.
Best regards and Happy Holidays!
Glenn

December 6, 2016Best choice we could have made.
This was for my mother-in-laws birthday party and we really wanted to make it very special. She loves live piano music and after many hours of searching I stumbled upon Glenn's listing her in GigSalad. I am so glad I did. He was very quick in communicating back to me and sent his enormous playlist to me right away. He can play just any genre you may be wanting and do it beautifully. He is the consummate professional and I can't imagine anyone regretting hiring him. I will surely do so again.

Dan, thank you so much for the positive review! I am so grateful you chose me to be your pianist, it was truly an honor to perform and meet you and your family, and I would be delighted to play for you again anytime you are looking for entertainment. Have a beautiful holiday season and I wish you the best in the coming year!

March 31, 2026Grandkids Gathering!
All under 10 years old! They enjoyed the musical choices and Glenn’s laid back and easy going vibe helped warm up even the most timid one in the group to dance and sing along with a microphone.
Glenn helped make a small Family Gathering with the grandkids coming in from out of town, even more special! Will do it again!

Dear Monica (Ga Ga): it was a pleasure to entertain for your family event, it’s always fun playing music for children and adults alike. I loved the K-Pop song requests and Brazilian music, and I enjoyed watching your grandchildren play my keyboard and with the tambourines, egg shakers and musical sticks. It was amusing to see them create their own games with them! Please keep me in mind again for any future gatherings 😊🎹 best regards, Glenn

December 15, 2025Everyone loved the Christmas music!
Glenn arrived early to our home (as he said he would) to get settled and ready to play. He was very accommodating, took requests, and played all the traditional Christmas tunes we’ve all grown up with. At the end of the evening we had one final request, and although his time was up he stayed a few minutes over to make sure we got to do our Christmas sing-along. A very nice evening.
