Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 31, 2011•From Savage, MN

Kris is not only an extremely talented pianist, but was friendly, flexible and accomodating. He made the whole process of selecting music for our wedding very easy and accompanied on two vocal performances. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Kris was punctual and professional. He played the processional music for our wedding ceremony. He also played a song with a vocalist performing at our wedding. He rehearsed with the vocalist beforehand at our rehearsal and did not charge extra. I would definitely recommend Kris for your event!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 6, 2010•From Plymouth, MN

We planned our wedding from a distance and were very nervous about selecting services when we were not able to meet prior to the event. However, we decided to utilize Kris for his services and he exceeded any expectations we had. Kris was extremely personable, professional, accomodating, and went out of his way to ensure that our wedding ceremony was great. He helped us select music that suited us well, rolled with all of our last minute changes, and overall was wonderful. Thanks, Kris! -Amy & Alain

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 17, 2018•From Lake Elmo, MN

Kris is an exceptionally talented pianist. You won't find anyone any better. My party guests thought he was phenomenal. Kris played in the evening during our neighborhood Christmas party in a home setting. Just the right volume. Great song selections (he can play any style). Really made the party. Will definitely be hiring him again!

Thank you so much — I enjoyed playing on the nice Steinway and meeting the neighbors.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 15, 2018•From Saint Paul, MN

Kris is an incredibly talented pianist and organist. He played beautifully at our wedding ceremony in St. Paul. Kris was very responsive and helpful during our planning process, and worked very well with our cantor. I would recommend Kris to anybody needing a professional pianist/organist for any occasion. Thank you, Kris!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 5, 2018•From Saint Paul, MN

Kris was amazing from the get go. He responded right away to all of my questions and even asked me questions about the ceremony that I didn't even know happened! So he was definitely a great help. He also came the night before to the rehearsal dinner to practice with our singer and didn't charge us extra for the time. All around Kris is an outstanding professional who plays beautiful music. I would highly recommend.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 28, 2017•From Woodbury, MN

Kris was absolutely amazing. We weren't sure about all of the music that we wanted for our ceremony, but Kris gave us great suggestions for each part of it and it turned out amazing. He even came to the rehearsal to make sure that the timing of all of the music was perfect, and on the wedding day it was. We received so many complements about the piano music at our ceremony, We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 9, 2016•From Edina, MN

Kris was professional, accommodating, and wonderful to work with. He played beautifully, and was happy to play special requests that I had arranged with him ahead of time. He accompanied us in a sing-along, and played Happy Birthday for my mother's 90th birthday party. He was very personable, and stayed and visited with us afterwards. I highly recommend him for any special event.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 12, 2016•From Saint Paul, MN

Kris was spectacular to work with! -- He was timely, professional, courteous, flexible, easy for other musicians to work with. He went above and beyond the call of duty to attend a special rehearsal prior to the wedding event. And above all Kris picked up the special music very quickly and played amazingly! He was a real plus to our wedding event! Would hire him again, and recommend him to others in a heart beat! Thanks, Kris!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 23, 2016•From Saint Paul, MN

Kris is fantastic! I would highly recommend him for any event where a pianist is needed. For my wedding, he was prompt at replying to all communications. He played all selected pieces beautifully, and was accommodating when we inserted a couple of requests a few days before ceremony. Having never met in person before event, I was a tad worried... He showed up early, smartly dressed in a dapper suit, played beautifully (classical pieces, jazz pieces, and a contemporary one) and left me so impressed. Everything was perfect. My one regret was I didn't have time to go up and thank him in person after ceremony. Thank you!!! You put crowning touches on beautiful day.
