Overview

Are you looking for what will make your guests want to stay a bit longer and talk about your party until the next one?

I'm Petra, a pianist specialized in corporate events, milestone birthday, rooftop soirée, luxury weddings and more! With feel-good versions of the songs you love, I craft a place of timelessness: transporting your guests beyond the buzz of everyday life into an atmosphere that’s elegant, exciting, and effortlessly fun.

I've performed at venues such as the Bellagio, Waldorf Astoria, Rosewood Miramar, Carnegie Hall, etc. My goal is to make every event feel personal, elevated, and memorable.

Extremely talented, Incredibly Kind!

Petra is not only incredibly talented, but extremely kind! As a photography and videography team, we meet lots of musicians capturing couples’ weddings, and Petra truly adds texture and feeling to every event. We can’t recommend her enough!

Exceptional Talent!

Petra/Platinum Pianist did an amazing job during my Mom's birthday party with audience engagement, taking requests, and keeping the crowd entertained. She's a fabulous musician, and I'm already looking forward to having her for my next event!

AMAZING!!!

Petra was absolutely fantastic in every way! From the very beginning she was so responsive and cared so much about our special day. She took time to ask about what kind of music we would be interested in and had a personal video call with us to talk through it and to meet us so it could be even more personal. She sent sample music to show us how she plays and even sent pictures of dress options that she could wear for the proper occasion, just to make sure that she fit the day and our vision perfectly. I would recommend her 10/10 times! If you need to hire a pianist this is the one! She’s exquisite! Multiple guests mentioned how lovely she was and how much she added to the ambience. Thank you Petra!

Top Tier Classy

We were so happy to hire Petra for a private event in June, as she came so highly recommended! She arrived early, setup was a breeze and she brought such great energy to the atmosphere we wanted to create. Elegant and tasteful piano arrangements graced our ears for the evening, and she even took requests and did them all! Her ability to connect with the guests truly made the evening special, and we couldn’t recommend her enough! 5 stars!

Makes the night spectacular!

We hired Petra for our wedding reception and it was one of the best parts of our wedding. Not only is Petra an incredibly talented pianist, she is also incredibly helpful in making your vision come to life. She helped us to understand how much music we would need throughout our cocktail hour and how music would flow between speeches. She is very thorough and takes you through the whole process step by step. She was also able to play our first dance song with an orchestral background track. She made that moment magical and one we will never forget. I can't recommend her highly enough!
