Celebration•Reviewed on March 3, 2019•From Fallbrook, CA
Dustin was amazing! I'm a professional violinist who needed a pianist to accompany me for an event. He showed up ahead of time, well-presented in a tux and played perfectly! At one point I had some logistical event issues that I needed to take care of and when I asked Dustin if he could takeover for a bit, he without hesitation rose to the occasion and literally never missed a beat. It was a pleasure working with him and I highly recommend Dustin to anyone looking here on Gigmasters and that you hire him for your next event. I know I will!

Thank you, Jennifer! It was truly a pleasure playing with such a high caliber musician.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 18, 2017•From Irvine, CA
Dustin. showed up right on time. He was very accommodating given the fact that I had never hire a musician before. We had music industry professional in attendance and he was very accommodating to them as well . He's music was right on and we ultimately had him paying sing along Christmas music. That he did great with. Everyone commented on how great Dustin was. I am certain I will be hiring him for other events in the future.

Dustin was amazing! Such talent! He was so quick to reply to my e-mails-very professional and personable too! Having Dustin play such great piano music ( he knows every song!) was the perfect way to enjoy cocktails before dinner. His music set the mood for a wonderful party!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 22, 2016•From Laguna Beach, CA
This was my first experience using Gigmasters, and it could not have worked out any better. We selected Dustin to
play our piano at a holiday party we hosted, and we were extremely happy we did. Dustin showed up on time, professionally dressed, and immediately started playing beautiful holiday music. He played a variety of classic and contemporary songs, and really had a feeling for the crowd and the mood, knowing appropriate times to play loud or softly. It was a pleasure to have him play at our party and hope he will return again sometime in the near future. Thank you Dustin!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on February 23, 2017•From La Quinta, CA
We hired Dustin to play during our son's rehearsal dinner and cocktail party at an outdoor venue in La Quinta, where it never rains...except for the weekend when there is a big wedding planned and historic rains, winds, and floods roll in! Dustin could not have been more accommodating during the planning and booking process but I especially appreciated his flexibility the evening of the event when the weather forced a change of plans. Dustin was prompt, professional, and delightful in every way. Our guests loved the special touches he added to the evening, even graciously honoring some last minute requests and additions to his repertoire. Highly recommend Dustin!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on June 11, 2011•From Anaheim, CA
It is difficult for me to put into words what a tremendous addition Dustin's music was to the cocktail hour of our daughter's wedding reception. His piano talents set the mood for a glorious evening. His appearance was impeccable and he is a charming young man. Our guests raved about the ambiance created by his wonderful music. I recommend you leave this play list up to Dustin. He reads the crowd and selects the right music for the moment. My only regret was that we hired him just for the cocktail hour! I could have listened to this top notch musician all evening!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 4, 2017•From Altadena, CA
We hired Dustin to play at our family's small Christmas Eve gathering. Dustin played beautiful Christmas music as we were finishing up our cooking and enjoying some appetizers, by the end of his time with us we were all sitting around the piano listening and making requests all of which he easily fulfilled. He was absolutely perfect filling both roles as background music pianist and as full blown entertainer. We were amazed by his talent and ease on the piano. Days following the gathering, I received emails from my family and every one of them mentioned how incredible Dustin was and how he made it such a special evening. Thank you Dustin!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 21, 2015•From San Diego, CA
Dustin Callahan did a wonderful job playing piano for our ceremony at the San Diego Museum of Art. My husband and I love animated films, we so had a lot of special requests for the songs we wanted performed during the ceremony. Dustin played every song we asked for and even learned a new song we requested.
After the ceremony, we had multiple guests tell us how much they loved the music. Usually people have a violinist or harpist for their wedding, so everyone thought it was so unique to have a pianist instead.
Dustin plays beautifully and is very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized experience.

Dustin played at our daughter's engagement party. He was great, easy to work with, personable, very responsive, arrived on time with his own equipment, and his skills were amazing. We left the choice of music to him, and he intuitively knew what our guests wanted. We could not have wished for better.....His performance definitely made the party very special.....Bravo Dustin! Highly recommended.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 30, 2015•From Dana Point, CA
I had Dustin play for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Dustin was beyond amazing! He executed every request beautifully. I had quite a few special requests and one that was pretty last minute and Dustin handled it with ease. He played one song while my maid of honor sang and it sounded wonderful. I received numerous compliments on his performance and I'd hire him again in a heartbeat. My husband and I couldn't be happier with him. My husband could't stop talking about how lovely Dustin's music was. I only wish I had more events coming up so I could hear him again!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 9, 2013•From Cerritos, CA
Dustin played for our corporate holiday event. He was very patient in the booking process and was always very responsive in e-mails and on the phone. On the event, he was punctual and showed up early. He even ended up staying late as a last minute request. Our guests were impressed with his skills and he received many compliments. We will definitely keep him in mind if we are ever in need of a pianist!

Dustin is extremely talented and personable. His music added so much to our event.
I commend Dustin on his professionalism. We had a very tight schedule without much time for setup and preparation. Dustin arrived exactly on time, setup and performed beautifully despite all the commotion.
I look forward to having Dustin perform at future events and highly recommend him to others.

Dustin was a pleasure to work with. He responded immediately to my request for a bid, was so pleasant to communicate with and did so easily via email, agreed to all requests for particular songs to be played during my wedding ceremony, and he was so professional the day of. He arrived on time, had everything set up and coordinated with other musicians scheduled to play, and made the event go beautifully. I would definitely recommend Dustin!
