I love any opportunity to play beautiful music: wedding ceremonies, background music for parties (holiday, cocktail hour, anniversary, engagement, corporate), accompanying soloists and small groups, and leading sing-alongs for all ages.
I have been playing piano and organ professionally for over 20 years. I teach piano, play keys in a band, and pre-pandemic led a church choir. Over the years I've had the privilege to play for many special services and events, each one unique.
I am available for both religious and non-religious events.
Travel considered for additional fee.
Thank you for considering me for your upcoming event - I look forward to planning it with you!
Janna was wonderful from the beginning of the wedding planning process to the wedding ceremony. She was happy to accommodate special requests and played the organ beautifully. We are so thankful!

Janna played beautifully. She picked music that suited the type of wedding we wanted. She was professional and well organized. She made our wedding ceremony and dinner special ❤
Janna was our pianist for my wedding and I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat! She is so sweet and accommodating. I received lot of compliments telling me how beautiful the piano music was. If you are looking for a pianist, you would make the best choice choosing her!
We hired Janna for ceremony music and background cocktail and dinner music for our wedding. From day one Janna was so easy to work with and even learned tons of music to make our day so special. We wanted some unique rock and punk songs played throughout the day and she delivered. We had so many guests coming up to us throughout the day commenting on the unique music she was playing and how great it sounded. Janna is so talented and we are honored that she played for our day. Thanks so much Janna!
Janna played the piano and organ during our wedding ceremony and was amazing. She helped with the piece selections, checked in regularly and performed outstanding. We highly recommend Janna!
Janna is phenomenal! I can’t say enough about her. She played the organ and piano at our wedding and we are thrilled with how everything turned out. Not only was she very professional and skilled, she was incredibly friendly and easy to work with. She eagerly learned new music, travelled to our wedding, and exceeded my expectations in every way. It was a joy to have her! I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Janna was absolutely the perfect fit for what we had in mind for our reception. She already had a great foundation for several kinds of music and she even learned some new songs to play and she did great! I definitely recommend her playing for your ceremony/reception or any kind of party that is in need of a professional pianist. Thank you, Janna, for the practicing you had to do and for making our vision come to life!
I would highly recommend Janna for any event. She had great communication prior to our event, she arrived on time and was very professional and friendly. We had several guests take her card for future events. You will not be sorry by hiring Janna for your event...on top of all this she is a very talented musician!
Response from Janna Zornow - Professional musician:
Jennifer,
Thank you for your kind words and thanks again for having me! I had such a wonderful time playing for your event. Everyone was kind and gracious; you clearly have a wonderful team. If you ever need piano music for another event, I'll be there. Congratulations on a successful evening!
Thank you,
Janna
Was a great experience
Response from Janna Zornow - Professional musician:
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - it was a pleasure to play for Emily and Chris's wedding! The personal touches throughout from the decorations to the flowers to the personal song selections truly made it a beautiful ceremony. I was honored to be a part of it.

If I do my job right, no one will notice me. After all your event is about you, not about your musicians!
As event background music I include consultation, setup, and tear-down in my quote. I will collect your song requests prior to the event to make sure your favorites are played. I will also provide you with a direct link to my song request website if you'd like to give your guests the opportunity to make song requests for your upcoming event. Your DO NOT PLAY song list will be strictly adhered to when considering your guests' requests. I'll play through the event with minimal break time discussed in advance and included in our contract.
With me as your wedding ceremony musician, you will have an experienced musician providing background music as guests arrive and exit, as well as all specially selected songs during the ceremony. Your ceremony can have as much or as little music as you'd like: featured songs for the candle lighting/sand/unity ritual. a soloist or duet, one or more hymns, light instrumental music accompanying your vows, etc. Let's personalize your ceremony to make it memorable for you as a couple.
I want to make your ceremony all about you and what you want for your special day. I will find your special song requests, whether it's an old hymn, your favorite pop or country hit, or an Irish jig to celebrate your fiancé's heritage. I also will coordinate behind the scenes with your wedding planner and/or the officiant to make sure I know what I need to do to disappear into the background.
With a band director and a home daycare operator as parents, I grew up surrounded by music. At my first recital at age 5, my feet couldn't reach the floor so they kicked along with the music as I played and sang (to the surprise of my parents AND my piano teacher) my selected Christmas tunes. I've loved playing piano ever since.
I am a professional musician. I previously served as head organist at a church for a number of years and am used to preparing and playing a variety of song selections. My music library is always growing. Other than church services, I'm most commonly hired to play for weddings and funerals, but I also have accompanied special performances, played in pit orchestras for student productions, accompanied soloists, and provided background music for parties. When you hire me for an event you are getting my years of training, countless hours of practice, my musical knowledge and support, and my years of experience.
As a part of the praise team at my church, I play for Sunday services once or twice a month. Music also keeps me busy several nights a week with piano lessons. These standing obligations are not listed on my GigSalad calendar, but please know I will keep these in mind when considering my availability for your event.
Many venues have a piano or organ available, no additional setup or equipment required. If not, I have a quality professional keyboard. I am thrilled to offer this additional service to my customers with only the minimal requirement of access to an electrical outlet (I have all cords necessary and will be able to set up out of the way of your guests).
Please let me know how I can best provide my services for your event!
