Fred is no longer providing a portable piano and sound equipment for potential clients who do not have a piano. If your venue does not have a piano, Fred would be happy to recommend a colleague who has portable equipment or he can provide contact information for piano rental or leasing. The unique artistry and outstanding customer service of Fred Yacono makes a truly unforgettable and lasting impression for you and your guests at any event!

Holiday PartyReviewed on January 30, 2024From Saint Paul, MN

Fred is an absolute delight. We've had the pleasure of having him at a number of events over the years, and it's impossible for me to give a high enough recommendation. His play has fit our events perfectly, presumedly because of his musicality and experience. Thank you!

Review by John C.

WeddingReviewed on May 28, 2023From Minneapolis, MN

We had Fred play for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception on May 20th, 2023. The whole process of the initial consultation a year earlier all the way through his final song he played was a spectacular experience. Fred is extremely talented and will wow both you and your guests. He learned some new songs to play for my Wife and I's dances with our parents. He also went to our venue the day before our wedding to check out the piano they had and the space to make sure everything would be perfect. He then also showed up hours early to ensure it was still in a good condition. Really all there is to say is if you need a pianist and a performer, Fred is your man!

Pianist for Events, Fred Yacono:

Wow!! All I can say is, thank you John. Thank you so very much for your outstanding review. It was my honor and pleasure to provide the music for yous and Lauren's wedding. Let me wish both of you the very best in your future together. Sincerely, Fred
