Steve was the perfect musician to have for our wedding reception dinner. He did a great job of "reading the room" and playing appropriate music and was very kind to play our guests' song requests. Very professional and talented! Highly recommend!

ONE WORD- AMAZING!!! We had Steve play at the Graylyn Estate for our wedding reception and also during our cocktail hour. When the ceremony was over and we came in Steve had picked up right where the music left off!! It was brilliant and we got SO MANY compliments. I LOVED his selection of music, it was SO PERFECT!! It was kind of a last minute decision and I had some switch ups with Steve on the times but he was very flexible and accommodating and we couldn't of been happier with our choice. THANK YOU STEVE FOR THE INCREDIBLE MOOD-SET IN THE ENTIRE ROOM EVERYONE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT!!!

I hired Steve to accompany a vocalist for my wedding ceremony at the Charlotte City Club. Since the vocalist was a personal friend of mine traveling into Charlotte for the wedding, Steve was not able to rehearse with her until the day of the wedding. He was very responsive throughout the planning process, he was flexible and able to work around our schedule the day of the wedding to rehearse with her, he was skillful playing the music and able to improvise where needed, and his rates are very fair. The vocalist had excellent things to say about working with him and I agree. I would highly recommend booking Steve!

What a nice touch Steve added to our son's rehearsal dinner! Awesome talent and very easy to work with. He was punctual, professional, and our guests loved hearing him play the piano during our cocktail hour and dinner. I could not have been more pleased and would not hesitate to book Steve again for another event. Highly recommend!
