Overview

Hello! My name is William VanZytveld - a graduate of Calvin University studying Music, Business, and Spanish. I've been playing piano for weddings, cocktail hours, funerals, and other variety of gigs wanting live background piano/keyboard music. Learning by ear and sheet music, I've been able to traverse genres from classical, pop, jazz, soundtracks, R&B, and more. I am able to travel anywhere in the Midwest and bring a keyboard/sound system should the venue not have a piano provided. Reach out if you have any questions!

William did an incredible job for my wedding and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for another event. He can play any genre of music that your event may call for as well. 10/10

Exceptional Pianist

William demonstrated excellent, prompt communication, and his website was very helpful. His process of providing a curated list of suggested music—along with guidance on the ideal timing for each piece during the event—was invaluable. His performance was outstanding, and many of our guests asked where we found such a talented pianist.

Great music!

William was absolutely incredible! From the planning process to our wedding day, he was wonderful to work with. He was professional, responsive, and made everything so easy, giving us complete confidence that the music would be one less thing to worry about.
His piano playing was absolutely beautiful and added such an elegant touch to our ceremony. The live music created a warm, romantic atmosphere that truly elevated the entire experience and made our wedding feel even more special. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have William play. If you’re looking for a talented pianist who is not only amazing at what he does but also a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend him!

Flexible, Compassionate, and excellent musician.

William and I are old friends. Recently, a family member passed away. I asked William if he was available to play at her funeral service. He responded immediately, and was thankfully available. I connected him to the people responsible for planning the funeral. William was gracious and helpful, able to accommodate all their requests. The songs were chosen quickly, and during the funeral William played beautifully and professionally. It was a beautiful celebration of life, playing grandma’s most cherished hymns.

I would recommend Will to anyone who needs a musician at their event without any reservations whatsoever. He was exactly what our family needed. Even though he was my friend, it felt like he had been a friend of the whole family for years.

William Wedding Pianist

We cannot recommend our William enough! From the very beginning, he was incredibly easy to work with and made the entire process stress-free. I simply sent him the songs I wanted, and he played every single one beautifully. His talent is truly unforgettable. 

He created the most beautiful atmosphere for our ceremony, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was. 

If you’re looking for someone who is professional, talented, and can bring your vision to life flawlessly, he is the one. Thank you for making our day so special, we’ll never forget it!

What to expect

I strive for quality, professionality, puncatality, and quality. I communicate proactively leading up to events on music needs (what songs are needed, what style, and timings). My policy is to arrive early to setup to start playing at the designated start time. I'm flexible in genres but feel most comfortable with classical, pop, soundtracks, and musicals. You are able to request either traditional piano sound or take advantage of the keyboard's multiple sound libraries.

About

Hello - welcome to WilliamVZ Music! Since 2021, I've been playing piano/keyboard at weddings, cocktails, galas, funerals and a variety of other functions. I have experience playing in churches, event spaces, wineries, outdoors spaces, and even the airport. Wherever and whenever you need live music for your event, WilliamVZ Music is able to travel to you and bring equipment, should the venue not have a piano. No song is off the table - I am able to learn aurally or through provided sheet music.
