Review by Howard W.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on June 2, 2012From Williamsburg, VA

Ken has played for us in three venues over the past three years. The events have included two weddings and a house party. On our recommendaion, he has also played for friends of ours. No man is more of a gentleman nor more accommodating to the wishes of the client than he is. At each event, he has been the subject of much favorable comment by the guests. His music is exquisite; his manner is elegant; his repertoir is broad and deep. You cannot go wrong in securing the services of Ken for your event.

Ken was fantastic! Each of the 68 fraternity brothers had nothing but compliments and enjoyed his music selections. Would hire him again.

WeddingReviewed on June 22, 2009From Kennebunkport, ME

Ken Watson is without peer. He played at the wedding reception for our daughter in Kennebunkport. He arrived early, set up without fanfare, and played almost continuously for three hours. He played songs not only from his listed repertoire but from our own list of favorites---all without sheet music! He was most accomodating to a six-year-old member of our wedding party, who wished to play "Twinkle Twinkle" on his piano---much to the delight of the guests. We cannot recommend him highly enough and plan to have him play for us at future events.

Christmas PartyReviewed on December 9, 2012From Lexington, MA

We booked Ken for our company Holiday Party for the 6th year in a row. He is always on time, plays beautifully a variety of music, without even stopping for a break. He is one hard working musician and adds a lot to the party.

Ken was great!! He got to our place almost an hour early to set up. He began playing right away so that we had music while the attendees were arriving. He played a great sellection of holiday tunes and anything we asked him to play. We'd trcommend him to anyone. He's a real professional!!! Try him. You'll be glad you did.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 6, 2012From Westminster, MA

Ken was so accommodating. We requested special songs that are not really mainstream. Ken learned them and then met with our dear friend and singer to rehearse. My friend sang his praises and when Ken was at the ceremony (and after, as a bonus, performed during our cocktail hour) he was consummately professional and kind. What a great man to have on our wedding team!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on November 1, 2012From Milford, CT

Ken was professional, entertaining and accommodating. He helped create a very laid back and relaxing - yet very fun - atmosphere. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have piano entertainment for their wedding. He also made announcements at our request and was very pleasant throughout the whole process.

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on May 7, 2013From Sharon, MA

Ken was very pleasant to work with. When I first booked him I had asked for the wrong time and a two months before our wedding I had to change our time and he was very accommodating. Unfortunately I did not get to meet him at the cocktail hour but I did hear the piano and it sounded really nice. All of my guests were very impressed with the cocktail hour! Thank you Ken!

Cocktail PartyReviewed on April 2, 2012From New Haven, CT

Ken was wonderful! He showed up ready to play and didn't leave the piano for over 3 hours! Really amazing. This party was for my fiance's 40th birthday and we had a fun crowd. Ken was able to play a mix of old standards, popular contemporary music and all in between. He was originally going to play for only. He was so great, we asked him play for another hour and he totally accommodated us. All of our friends noted how perfect the evening was and I attribute much of this to Ken's piano skills! I would recommend him over and over again!

I am so truly pleased that we found such a professional entertainer. Ken did an outstanding job entertaining our guests at our cocktail hour and a half! I would definitely recommend him to anyone and am grateful to have used Gigmasters to find such a great performer :)

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on October 13, 2012From Wrentham, MA

Ken added a lovely touch to our wedding cocktail hour. He played nice background music that paired perfectly with the feel we wanted for the hour. This is feedback from our guests, as we we're taking pictures the whole time.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on February 2, 2012From Boston, MA

Ken was very accomodating to work with and he is a very talented pianist. He is very responsive to emails (which is so important when planning a wedding!) and he whe was able to achieve our every request. He even came to our rehearsal so he could practice with our soprano who was singing at the wedding. His selection of music during cocktail hour was fantastic, perfect for the mood and venue. We would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for pianist for their wedding!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 16, 2011From Boylston, MA

We were so pleased to have Ken play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He did an amazing job with the special request songs we ask for. Our recessional song was September by Earth Wind and Fire, my husband and I found a youtube video of it done with solo piano and we asked Ken to learn it. He did so happily and it was AMAZING such a wonderful experience!!! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day and for making it that much better with your beautiful music! Best Wishes, Mr. & Mrs. Brian and Amanda Demers

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 27, 2011From Weston, MA

Ken arrived early and was set up prior to a single guest arriving. He was professional in appearance, and extraordinarily talented. I've had several guests comment on how much they enjoyed the processional, recessional, and cocktail hour music. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Ken for any event. I know that we'll hire Ken again the future should the need arise. Thank you Ken for helping make our wedding such a memorable day.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 6, 2011From Nashua, NH

Ken did a great job playing at our wedding ceremony! He accompanied a cantor and worked great with her. He was very accomodating to all my requests and was patient with small last minute changes. He was also helpful in making some recommendations for our ceremony music when I requested it. He played beautifully and I appreciated that he came early to work with the cantor and make sure that everything was just right.

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on September 26, 2011From Boston, MA

We were fortunate to have Ken Watson as the pianist for the cocktail hour at my daughter's wedding. We wanted Ken to play more traditional music so I gave him some song suggestions. He was more than accommodating. His music was upbeat and not intrusive. I have gotten so many wonderful compliments from my guests. Ken was very professional, responded quickly to emails and his music provided such an elegant touch to the cocktail hour. Do not hesitate to hire Ken. I highly recommend him for any event.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on April 18, 2011From Salem, MA

Ken was incredible and delightful to deal with throughout the entire process. I used him for the ceremony and cocktail hour of my wedding, and he was able to accommodate a range of requests. Several of the guests approached me to say how beautiful the music was, and how they loved the varied selections of music. I would definitely recommend Ken to anyone and everyone. He really added something special to my wedding day.
