Lovely to work with her

We booked Carrie for our two-day event for 5 hours each day, and she pulled it off amazingly. She was attentive to the room's mood or vibe, arrived on time, and always asked the right questions. We will be hiring her for our future events for sure. Thank you so much!

Super kind & very skilled

She showed up early with somebody to help her set up. Brought her own keyboard. The background music was amazing well everyone got seated. When it came time for us to walk she did everything we requested better than we ever imagined. When it was done she was very kind and discreet leaving. All and all an amazing experience and id highly recommend.

What to expect

The music I play provides a wonderful ambience to any special event. I have often been told that I have a special touch, and with over 13 years of professional playing experience, I can read the crowd well to know what kind of songs they would enjoy hearing. I play songs that people recognize at a sound level that is "background" so as to avoid drawing away too much attention from the purpose of the event. I am happy to provide a complete list of songs I play. You can sample my playing in the video section.
You can also sample my work in person if you request to come in to The Roof Restaurant on a night when I am playing.

About

I grew up in musical family with a father who loved to sing and play guitar and a sister who played the piano beautifully. I wanted to play just like my sister! So I began taking piano lessons at age 6 until age 14. At age 11 I began accompanying children as they sang at church. I have played for church choirs, LDS institute choir, weddings and wedding ceremonies, and corporate parties. After moving to Northern Utah I began working as a host at The Roof restaurant at age 22. Whenever I could get the chance I would play their lovely Schimmel piano before the restaurant opened or after it closed. It wasn't long before the manager asked if I would be interested in a position playing the piano at The Roof. I have been playing at The Roof ever since (going on 13 years). I also absolutely love to play for weddings and other special events.
