Very talented and friendly
I’m so glad we chose Liz as the pianist for our wedding ceremony. After my first email interaction I knew she would be an excellent fit for us. She responds quickly, asked thoughtful questions to understand what we were looking for, and clearly articulated what she needed from us and the venue to provide the best service. Liz is an excellent pianist and I was impressed with her smooth transitions between songs as well as her perfect timing. She provided us with a long list of songs for us to choose from and was also open to incorporating new songs. The list included a wide range of songs, from your more traditional and classic wedding songs, to covers of more recent popular songs, as well as some Disney songs (which are always fun to throw in for nostalgia). Liz is very friendly over email and I’m actually sad that I didn’t get a chance to interact with her on the wedding day. She’s very talented, easy to work with, and fairly priced. I definitely recommend her!

From helping us with music choices to her professionalism, she was an absolute pleasure to work with and I am so glad that we found her and she was able to be a part of our wedding! Her music elevated the emotions in the room and made our dreams of an intimate, unforgettable ceremony come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Liz!

The music was beautiful and sounded amazing live. We appreciated Liz's professionalism and she had such a wide range of music to choose from. Absolutely no regrets at all, and would definitely recommend her services to any couples looking for live music on their big day.

Thank you for the lovely music!
Thank you Liz for your lovely music! Liz was a pianist for our ceremony and it was amazing! The music was played on time and in sequence and it sounded amazing! She was a great person to work with from the start! She’s very responsive and she gave many suggestions as to what we could use for the different parts of our ceremony - which was very helpful for someone who knows nothing about wedding planning like me! She was very flexible to changes and it turned out great! Thank you so much!

Super talented + amazing performance!
We booked Liz to perform at our wedding cocktail reception. From the beginning, Liz was very quick in responding to all of our e-mails. She was quick to highlight an issue with the venue's existing piano prior to our wedding and offered an alternative which was to bring her own digital piano. She was more than happy to work with our suggested song list and we had multiple complimentary comments from our guests on her performance! If you are looking for a pianist to play at your wedding or any other function, we would 100% recommend Liz without a doubt!!
