Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 7, 2013•From San Jose, CA
Denis was simply amazing! Arrived in plenty of time to set up for our 50th Birthday Party that was themed as a Piano Bar.
He incredibly entered the guests with an enormous repertoire and very seamlessly welcomed in those guests who wished to sing along!
Denis was a very big portion of the them obviously, and at every level he exceeded our expectations!

I wish we could give a higher star rating because Denis was simply outstanding. He arrived when he said he would,played an amazing assortment of music, charmed party guests and was extremely polite. I really appreciated that I never needed to hold his hand or re-direct him-he simple new what to do and did it with the utmost professional attitude. I kind of do not want to share how good he is and keep him a secret.Yes he is that good.What an amazing 1950 Italian party we had and Denis was crucial to its success.

I was very happy with Denis's piano playing at our Christmas Party. He was great to work with and the music was wonderful and I would hire him again. he took lots of requests and played for the adulkts as well as fun songs for the kids. He has a really nice singing voice so the Sinatra songs were great!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 22, 2011•From San Jose, CA
Before we hired Denis for our wedding, we asked to meet him and hear him play. He was very accommodating and we knew instantly that he would be perfect for us. Denis was very professional throughout the planning process and kept in good contact with us for months. Ultimately, he did a wonderful job at the wedding. The music was beautiful and we couldn't be happier. Thank you, Denis! You are definitely going to be our go-to guy for our future events.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 19, 2012•From Los Angeles, CA
Denis D'Aoust was really wonderful! From the very beginning he was friendly and accomodating. We hired him for our wedding and we are so happy we did. I had my heart set on a song from the Amelie score and he immediately tracked down the sheet music! I was very much the nervous bride but he instantly put me at ease. I changed my mind about the music many times and Denis took it all in stride.
He even went out of his way to inspect our venue's instruments a couple days before the wedding. He was extremely helpful and offered so many great suggestions! His piano playing was beautiful and the solos were superb.
VERY affordably priced and excellent value!

Denis is very talented, and was perfect for our event (actually, he'd be perfect for any occasion!). He has a beautiful singing voice, and is an excellent pianist and an amazing musician. And he can play every type of music there is. Plus, he's a gentleman and very easy to work with. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks!

Denis was a life saver! Last minute we had our musician cancel on us so I needed someone who knew what they were doing fast! Just a few minutes after I placed a search out on gigmasters, Denis called me and we hit it off. He is extremely enthusiastic, professional and talented. Denis did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding ceremony, I could not have asked for better.
Thank you Denis!

Saint Patrick's Day Party•Reviewed on March 24, 2012•From San Jose, CA
Denis was a perfect musician and performer for the St. Patrick's Party in our home for family and friends. We started singing Irish songs with Denis leading us all mastefully on the piano. We then moved on to songs from great musicals, the Beatles, rock-n-roll, etc. All our family and friends are still talking about what such a great evening of music and fun. We can recommend Denis highly for providing wonderful music and making your party a wonderful event.

Denis was perfect. He set the perfect mood for our event. Throughout the evening people were telling me how much they loved the music and what a great addition is was to the event. He made me look like a genius. He arrived on time, did exactly what we agreed upon and was totally professional. I am hoping to hire him every year for our event.

I was not the only one impressed by Denis' performance. Many guests came up to me asking about him, praising him, and wanting his contact info.

Cocktail Party•Reviewed on May 3, 2011•From Union City, CA
"Sipping with Sinatra" was our event. To say that Denis's performance was a smash hit would be an understatement,upon his arrival he was involved in a car accident. Being the true showman that he is,he stated,"The show must go on". Like witchcraft,he captivated residents and guests.He took us on a journey back to the days of yester-year. Taking requests,singing classics by Bobby Darin,Dean Martin etc."Old Mackie was back in town","spreading the word" Acacia Creek was transported into "New York,New York","Amore" started to flow and so did the tears of joy and remembrance. I would recommend Denis to anyone who is looking for a magical experience.Denise B. UC 5/2/11

Denis was a great entertainer for our holiday party. He accommodated many requests, including many that were not holiday songs! I would highly recommend him for any occasion that calls for quality music and singing, with an extremely wide range of music genres.

Denis was incredible. We had a vision for our wedding and he delivered it and more. Whenever we need a musician again, or any friends or family need one, we're hiring Denis. Thank you so much!! Truly a wonderful talent.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 7, 2011•From San Jose, CA
Denis D'Aoust's overall talents are no question very good.His musical skills, both instrumental and vocal were great.He could compete with the best of them.He knows how to play a variety of songs and has the skill to learn new songs if given ample time to learn it.Aside from Denis' talents,his preparation and planning really stood out to us. We know Denis was talented, but we didn't know that he was not just a musician, but a very organized and prepared musician.We were new to wedding planning and.He helped us with song choices and even adviced us on what works well at certain times of the event.Although he gave us his opinion,he left it up to us to decide.GreatJob!!

Christening•Reviewed on August 16, 2010•From Pacifica, CA
If the scale went to 10, Denis would be a 10 all the way! He performed for my nephew's baptism party and he was AMAZING! We heard compliments from our guests for him the entire time of the event and the next day we still had comments on how exceptional his performance went. All the songs he chose were favorites of the crowd and from kids to elders, we all enjoyed his talents.
I would DEFINITELY book him again!

Dinner Dance•Reviewed on April 19, 2010•From San Francisco, CA
For our "Italian Night", Denis entertained us with accordion music and soft music and vocals during dinner. We then took the dance floor, and he was very open to requests. Denis is multitalented as well as very professional. Our "Italian Night" was a big success.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 16, 2010•From El Sobrante, CA
The Life Of The Party! That's Gigmasters' motto, and that's what Denis was, again. We've now hired him five times, 3 Christmas parties, my own 50th, and yesterday he wowed everybody at my aunt Barbara's 80th B-Day party. She's a great Dean Martin fan, and Denis filled her many requests for Dino Hits, even singing in Italian. He walked around the room playing accordion, then after dinner sat at his piano and had everybody dancing. He played everything from the Chicken Dance to YMCA. My cousin's 55th b-day's coming up this summer...guess who she's gonna hire!
