July 4, 2023Excellent experience!
Julia was wonderful to work with! She was flexible, accommodating, and willing to add to her already substantive repertoire of music. She was punctual for our rehearsal and our ceremony. We appreciated that she took initiative and didn’t overwhelm us with questions during our wedding day. We would recommend her highly to anyone who needs a pianist for a special event!

June 18, 2023Best Experience
She did such an amazing job performing for our wedding in the Old Capitol Museum. She was very low maintenance and knew exactly where to go and what to do when she got there and played all the songs we requested. So glad we hired her!

June 22, 2019Absolutely amazing!
The Professional Pianist played at our wedding in the Old Capital in Iowa City, and was absolutely amazing! Not only is she a great pianist, but she also had many suggestions as to songs for which to play. The Professional Pianist is very timely and detailed in her correspondence as well. She was an absolute joy to work with and I would certainly recommend her to play at your event.

What to expect
I am a seasoned professional who prides my self on serving clients while handling details myself. I will show up, on-time, every time, and handle all musical responsibilities myself.
I enjoy playing music and interacting with people. In a party environment, I am pleased to accept and attempt requests.
I enjoy playing weddings and sharing in a special day with couples. My most common wedding request is Pachebel's "Canon in D." My strangest wedding request was "Tiny Dancer." My loudest wedding request was the theme from "Star Trek" on a 3-manual pipe organ. The most memorable ceremonies are the ones that celebrate the uniqueness of the couple.
Corporate gigs are a wonderful opportunity to provide a professional service to professionals. I have been hired for background music, holiday music, and even game show music! I've learned to expect the unexpected. The best gigs are gigs that authentically represent the client.
