August 23, 2024Great Piano Player For Wedding Event!
We hired Kevin to play piano for our wedding at the Madonna Inn and he did a fantastic job! He played a lovely set on the house piano and our guests were thrilled. He was early (which was great because our ceremony ended early) and he learned a few of our favorite songs, we would recommend to anyone looking for a pianist/keyboard player. His communication prior to the event was great too.

He did an outstanding job. He was eloquent in his performance. It was a pleasure working with his wife and so grateful we found him. He added the perfect touch to my wedding. He played the exact songs I asked for perfectly. 1000 years for bridal party, can’t help falling in love for bride and that’s how strong my love is Alicia keys at the end and all the lovely melodies I requested until the ceremony started.
