Great musician, wonderful personality. Chris was in tune to the conversation... As my guests talked he pick up on the subject and jumped in with a tune. For example, we were talking about the university of motte dame, Chris jumped right with the fight song . Chris is a delight,

We hired Mr. Martin for our wedding ceremony and reception and he was delightful! We requested a special song that he learned last minute and was able to play and sing beautifully. He's an incredibly talented musician, very accommodating and very professional. He made several announcements for us, brought his own equipment, and just made my day that much easier. We heard so many great comments from our guests and are so happy with out choice to go with Mr. Martin. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering entertainment for an event and will certainly keep him in mind for our future events!
Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on July 22, 2011•From Chicago, IL
Chris did an excellent job at our wedding cocktail hour. He emailed us a list of songs sorted by genre that he would be able to play for us, which allowed us to create our own play list. Unfortunately, we were so busy with the preparations that we forgot to create our own play list. I then asked Chris to create a list of songs to play based on the 3 genres that we liked. Chris happily and readily helped us out. His playing was wonderful, and very entertaining. I would put Chris at the top of the list for a pianist for your next event.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on March 28, 2011•From Chicago, IL
I have been a meeting planner for C-level and VIP events for 24 years and never have I experienced such professionalism and talent. Chris understood that this was a business networking function and played with panache and grace as background for our evening. He played a wide and varied array of music for nearly three hours without a single sheet of music. A wonderful, talented gentleman that would be a chart topper at any event!
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 21, 2011•From Chicago, IL
We didn't want to get caught up in the details of planning a wedding and thankfully, Chris helped us accomplish that. We were able to plan and coordinate all of the music via email, although he did make himself available by phone if we felt the need to talk. He was prompt, professional, talented, and accomodated all of our requests. It was one less wedding detail to worry about through the planning process and on the wedding day, as Chris came in and simply played what we requested via email.
Anniversary Party•Reviewed on January 31, 2011•From Chicago, IL
A consummate pianist! Chris Martin performed flawlessly for the entire party, playing hours of music that we had chosen from his extensive song list. Our guests were delighted--we were delighted! I can't recommend him highly enough! Chris is professional (for example: promptly answering all of our questions leading up to the event) and extremely talented. A pleasure to work with and a pleasure to listen to. Our guests are still passing along compliments. Thank you, Chris, for making our party a real celebration.
Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 18, 2010•From Chicago, IL
Chris played piano at a private Christmas party and helped create a most festive atmosphere. His many years of experience are evident in the rich, deep songbook he carries in his head, and he was willing and able to indulge any guest request. And in the lead-up to the event, he was accommodating of our needs and nothing but professional in our dealings.

Chris played at our wedding ceremony and brunch and did a fantastic job! We felt so lucky to have found him. He was flexible, punctual, professional and friendly. Not to mention, plays very well and knows a ton of songs! We would highly recommend him.
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 27, 2010•From Chicago, IL
Chris did a fantastic job! He was on time, and played a variety of music that was pleasing to everyone in the crowd. I would gladly use Chris again and will recommend him and GigMasters to anyone who needs professional and talented entertainment. Thanks again Chris & GigMasters!

My experience with Mr. Martin was outstanding. As the bride, I didn't have to worry about a thing with him. He was very professional and he played an outstanding set. I loved every minute that he played and he made out ceremony that much more special to us. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!
