Megan was absolutely perfect for our wedding reception. From our first interaction until our event, she was totally professional and extremely accommodating.
She arrived on time, provided the ambient music we were looking for, as well as the selections we requested, at the perfect sound level needed.
I’d highly recommend Megan for any event you may be planning.

What to expect
As a classically trained pianist who also committed to years of jazz piano studies, I have the artistry and versatility to play just about any style or genre you'd like, so long as it works on the piano. If I don't know a tune, I can find it via the internet and learn it quickly for your event.
I love catering to my clients' needs and the variety of gigs that result from evolving tastes!

Additional booking notes
I own a Casio Privia piano and high-quality Roland amp which I am happy to bring to your event for a minimal cartage fee.
For pianos and organs onsite, please confirm it to be in good tune and in working order before the event. The last thing we want is for your event to be marred by an incapable instrument!
For events over 30 miles from my Lakewood, OH residence, I will charge a transportation fee.
