Review by Stacy M.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 13, 2011•From Huntington Station, NY

I cannot even put into words how pleased we were with Mr. Oler. He is totally professional, called prior to our event to confirm all special song choices we wanted for the anniversary party, arrived early to set up, worked with my daughter to review the songs she wanted to sing with his accompaniment, was dressed very appropriately and was truly talented. His song selections for the 50th anniversary party were just so spot on for the crowd! His themed medleys were terrific too. Everyone loved him and his music added so much to the success of the event. I highly recommend Kim and would definitely use him again. 5 star rating for Kim!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 6, 2011•From New York City, NY

Kim is a perfect gentlemen and a talented entertainer. I sent him four pages of sample songs our group might like to hear and he came prepared to do just about all of them. He added complimentary songs for the same genres. Kim had a perfect feel for the ebb and flow of the event. He knew when to play, what the volume should be and when to stop. His breaks were perfectly timed and more than appropriate for the amount of time he played. Kim was easy to deal with regarding the event planning and "got it" right away. He has an easy and smooth style and personifies class. You can't go wrong with Kim Oler and I would definitely suggest him to anyone. Bob

Engagement Party•Reviewed on May 24, 2012•From New York City, NY

From the beginning, Kim was terrific. He accepted my song list, and sent me a list of his own, from which I selected a dozen or so additional numbers. He arrived before the party began, and played beautifully. Several guests complimented his playing and the song selection. I am grateful that we found each other, because he mad a significant contribution to my engagement party for my daughter.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 23, 2010•From Cutchogue, NY

Really great to deal with, came up with some ideas on his own which were very warmly received by our guests, went out of the way to understand our needs/likes and played accordingly. On time, dressed very professionally, very articulate - we urge you to speak with him - he's great.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 18, 2011•From New Rochelle, NY

Kim made our Christmas party a very special event. He brought copies of carols for my guests. Kim has an amazing ear for music, and accompanied my group of singers with great professionalism. He also performed his own compositions which delighted my guests. Kims warm personality and easy going style make him a performer you want back again. I highly recommend him for any party.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 20, 2013•From New Rochelle, NY

Mr. Oler was able to accommodate all of our specific song requests, and the amazing part was that these songs were not that well known (arcade fire, for instance!) It just goes to show his level of playing skill. He was also perfect in timing the songs to the processional and the rest of the ceremony. We couldn't be more happy with his performance and professionalism.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 8, 2012•From Great Barrington, MA

Kim Oler played a grand piano & sang for over 5 hours at our holiday/wedding party in the Berkshires. He set the tone for the entire evening, transitioning the crowd seamlessly from the cocktail hour, to the fireside ceremony (with sung hymns), through dinner, and then into after-dinner sing-along holiday songs. He was incredibly agile, reading the crowd easily. His positive energy infused the entire room, and he was more than prepared to take requests, and even brought song-sheets. In the planning stages of my event, every conversation with Mr. Oler put me immediately at ease; his confidence and experience translated into a high level of comfort and trust for us.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 25, 2012•From New York City, NY

Kim is first of all very talented. Second of all, a charming, genuine and fun guy who engaged with everyone, was very accommodating and lent a happy, musical part of the evening which everyone enjoyed and contributed to an enormously successful evening. I can't wait for my next party opportunity to enjoy his music and himself again.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 13, 2017•From Roslyn, NY

We booked Kim to greet our guests upon their arrival at their wedding, and were beyond pleased with him! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed listening to him play and we received such complements on how it was such a unique way to be greeted to a wedding. Thank you Kim for adding to our special day!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 21, 2017•From Malverne, NY

Kim was great. I hired him for my daughter's birthday and it turns out that he knew my daughter who has sung in shows. This added a personal touch. He is talented and was very accommodating to my daughter and our guests. He was the perfect touch to a perfect night.

Review by Mark S.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 31, 2016•From Bayport, NY

Kim is an extremely talented and engaging professional. He helped to make our party a huge success. I highly recommend him for anyone who is interested in having a pianist who can provide music accompaniment from background to singalong in almost any genre of music. A true professional.

Thank you, Mark. What a pleasure it was. And all best to all your family, with thanks for their help throughout!
