Thank you Kathleen, it was wonderful playing with everyone!
Jonathan was amazing to work with! The booking process was easy, he answered any questions we had, showed up on time and complimented our event perfectly. Our venue hosted a Valentine's Tea. Jonathan played a variety of classics and contemporary music. He even through a few Taylor Swift songs in there by request. We will definitely be adding him to our preferred vendors list and be booking him again!
We were thrilled with Jonathan and the music he provided. I was charged with hosting a Nutcracker pre-ballet luncheon and thought it would be a great idea to have a pianist play music from the show. He was wonderful to work with and nailed the classical music we asked of him!

It was wonderful playing for everyone! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this :)
Jonathan provided an incredible ambiance for my small dinner party. His selection of soft music was so relaxing and perfect for the evening. I don't have many dinner parties, but it was great to hear my piano played beautifully throughout the evening. Looking forward to the next one and will certainly be reaching out to Jonathan again.

It was a great night! Thank you for letting me be a part of the evening!
We hired Jonathan for a private art showing on 10/11/2023. It was to showcase local artists in the area with cocktails and conversation. I knew we needed music for it and the gallery had a beautiful brown baby grand piano. A friend of mine had recommended him and I reached out to see if he could help. His selection of classical and current music added a wonderful ambiance. He also has a great smile and engages with the other artists and guests throughout the night. Thank you for painting the night with your music :) 10/10

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of the event, really enjoyed the night!
I was planning my company’s bi-annual meeting and needed to have some music for the night's cocktail hour. Most of my colleagues came in from our global offices, which are based in the UK and France. After a day of meetings I thought it would be really memorable to have a pianist play classical French music for the beginning of the night and then switch over to current popular music for dinner. I wasn't sure if it could be done, but the music spoke for itself. Needless to say, Jon was extremely professional and so much fun to work with. My team loved it and I got extra kudos for finding such a gem. Thanks for starting with Debussy and ending with Taylor Swift!! Who knows, we may fly you out to France for the next one ;)

What to Expect
Clients can expect a professional and timely appearance. I will provide a music consolation for your private event that will outline the length of playtime, the genre of music, and or if special requested songs are needed. I can provide a mobile keyboard if the venue does not have a piano. Typically, I smile and talk to guests while playing with a warm demeanor.
