Private PartyReviewed on February 9, 2015From Lake Elmo, MN

Excellent addition to our party. The background music really added to the ambiance. I only wish I had more time to just sit and listen to him play. All our guests were very impressed. Would definitely recommend!! 5 Stars.

Kris was such a pleasure to work with! He communicated very well via email, and was able to play the specific songs I requested. When we added a soloist at the last moment, he went above and beyond by personally mailing her the sheet music so she could practice! For the rehearsal and the wedding ceremony, Kris played so beautifully it brought me to tears. If I had the option to go back and choose differently, I would still have picked Kris. He was professional, friendly, accommodating, and extremely talented. Thank you so much Kris for lending your extraordinary talents to our big day! Sarah Laue

We booked Kris for our wedding ceremony, and he was perfect. Super friendly and professional, very easy to work with, flexible and accommodating, everything you could want. He even came to our rehearsal. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I can't imagine a better outcome. Definitely recommended. If you're wondering if you should hire Kris for your event, it's easy - you should!

Kris was amazing- he has such a kind and caring spirit and is ABSOLUTELY amazing at the piano. I only wish I could have sat in my own ceremony before, during and after to enjoy his music…I was too busy as the bride but I received many compliments from my guests on Kris's talents. He was fantastic and very kind, helpful and accommodating. You won't be sorry you booked him and he traveled to Eau Claire, WI for our wedding! Thanks Kris!

Kris played for a private party at the home of one of our company executives. Kris arrived on time and was prepared to start playing right on time. Kris was friendly and a professional. We received many compliments from attendees about Kris' playing. I would definitely hire Kris again and highly recommend him.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 10, 2013From Saint Paul, MN

Kris was amazing. He's on the quiet side but an absolutely tremendous talent on the piano, and most of all was able to come through with every request we made prior to our wedding day. He absolutely went above and beyond, making sure to practice with a vocalist we had also hired, and was always in constant communication with us and answered any questions we had. Would def. recommend for any major event, he is a fantastic pianist with so much talent, and did such a great job. Thank you Kris for everything, it went perfect!!!

Kris arrived well ahead of time to set up and check things out. His music was beautiful and flawless! It created a beautiful ambiance for the pre-wedding, wedding, and social hour/brunch afterwards. He played every song that I had suggested. He was very professional, dressed appropriately and did an excellent job. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 26, 2012From Rochester, MN

Kris was very nice, extremely talented and easy to work with. My husband were very apprehensive hiring someone over the internet, but we're so glad we did! When we met Kris, we brought some music with us and he played them for us right away. We were blown away! He was professional and dependable, but most importantly, an excellent excellent piano player. I would recommend him to anyone.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 20, 2012From Saint Paul, MN

Kris was awesome. Due to job switching and changing schedules we weren't able to meet him in person before the rehersal day. He was very helpful at giving suggestions. We found most of our songs by listening to them on various sites and sent him the list of the ones we liked. I would absoultely recommend Kris to anyone!!

Kris did a great job coordinating the timing of the music during the ceremony with the officiant. He is very talented and we heard many compliments from guests regarding his piano playing. We thought he did a wonderful job.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 7, 2011From Bruce, WI

I planned our wedding from a distance (we live 4 1/2 hours south of where the wedding took place). I was apprehensive about booking a musician online, but Kris's online sample and the reviews I read about him were great. He was very good about returning any phonecalls or e-mails when I had questions, and he was very accomodating to my last-minute tempo change request I talked to him about minutes before our ceremony started. The music sounded amazing, and the ceremony was beautiful. I would definitely recommend Kris to anyone.
