Liz is absolutely amazing!

Liz was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly talented and I am so happy that she was able to play at my wedding this past June. Liz was very easy to work with, gave quick responses, provided suggestions and made my wedding that much better! I would definitely recommend hiring Liz for any upcoming events.

Liz and Meghan - April 29 2023

Liz and Meghan performed at our wedding on Saturday and they were exceptional. We actually had two piano teachers as wedding guests and they were both blown away. We booked with Liz in 2021and she went above and beyond from start to finish. When I told her I was having trouble finding a venue, she sent me a list of potential venues that same day. She is extremely responsive by email. She worked with us to tailor our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and we were able to pick out the exact songs we wanted. The timing of the music during the ceremony was perfect, even though Liz and Meghan were playing above the ceremony space. They even learned several new songs for the occasion. Highly recommend this duo!

Beautiful music & excellent service. You will be so glad you hired Liz.

We were so impressed by Liz and so happy we had her, along with a violinist she recommended, playing at our wedding ceremony. She was extremely responsive, professional and accommodating from start to finish. We requested some Persian songs and they were done absolutely beautifully. The live music really elevated our ceremony, entertained our guests and gave me the fairytale walk down the aisle of my dreams. Highly recommend Liz!

Everything I hoped it'd be

The music at me and my husband's ceremony was so important to us, and we wanted to hire experts who we could trust to do our songs right. Liz (and Meghan) did not disappoint. Every song was beautifully played—exactly like we hoped they'd be. I 100% recommend hiring Liz for any event. She can play ANYTHING!

Liz is the BEST!

One of our favourite decisions we made around our wedding was working with Liz! We really struggled with deciding on ceremony music, and found Liz about a month before our wedding. Right from the start she was friendly, helpful, professional and so quick to respond to emails. She played during our ceremony, as well as during the pre-ceremony as guests were entering the venue, and it added such an elegance to the day. We had some non-traditional music as part of the ceremony (Foo Fighters and Hall and Oates) and it worked so perfectly and made it so special! Thank you so much Liz for everything, we loved working with you!

Hi! I’m Adina Fridman, a 17 year old pianist and teacher based in Toronto. I have been playing piano for over 14 years studying with Liz Craig. I am level eight certified for RCM and have performed in venues such as Casa Loma. I play a variety of styles of music including popular music, like movie themes and rock and pop songs, and classical.

I have been teaching since 2021 and absolutely love it! I have a huge passion for music and try and instill that in my students, as well. My students range from beginners to those preparing for RCM exams and it is a joy for me to teach children, whose musical experiences I can very much relate.
