December 15, 2025Absolutely wonderful musician. He played everything from old Christmas songs to some Beatles. We loved having him play for our party. It made the party feel so cozy. He was very accommodating when we had to take some breaks to play games and make speeches. I would highly recommend Pavel. He also showed up early to set up. We will be calling him again!

February 16, 2022Pavel is very professional, showed up well ahead of time and made sure he was certain of all cues. His music is absolutely perfect for any dinner party. He learned a custom song for our wedding ceremony and played it flawlessly. Anyone who wants pretty music for stimulating conversation at their event should hire Pavel.

I can provide a high quality sound system (including 2 microphones) for client's use. This is optional, but can be useful particularly at outdoor wedding ceremonies. My additional fee for this service would be only $35.
