Review by Christina B.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 24, 2017•From Minneapolis, MN

It was an absolute honor and privilege to work with Sharon—she's simply the best! Sharon is incredibly kind, thoughtful, detail-oriented, organized, and amazingly talented. From our first contact right up to our wedding day, Sharon was so easy to work with. She's so thoughtful and detailed that she will think of things that you as the bride didn't even think of :) I was nervous about a few of my other vendors following through, but I never once worried about Sharon. As if all this isn't enough, Sharon even learned new music for our ceremony. Thank you, Sharon, for making our ceremony amazing! It meant so much to hear these special songs played on our wedding day.

:

Dear Christina, I was so happy when I met with the two of you and learned how very special the music was to both of you. Thank you for introducing me to some new and beautiful music! Your Ring Warming was also new to me and the song you selected seem absolutely perfect. I loved being your wedding pianist and touching your hearts and the hearts of your guests with the lovely music that you selected! May your journey together be filled with 'Melodies of Life' and love!

Sharon is an amazing pianist! She did an amazing job. Songs were beautiful and she was extremely professional. Will have her again.

Thank you, Carlene. You planned such a lovely banquet! During the awards presentations I enjoyed listening to the wonderful accomplishments your employees have achieved. I felt honored to help create a classy atmosphere for your cocktail time, dinner, and after dinner reception with my piano music!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 28, 2016•From Minneapolis, MN

Sharon is wonderful, kind, accommodating and professional. She was an absolute joy to have play at our wedding. Our guest loved her and we received so many compliments. She played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The sound quality of her equipment in our ceremony space was amazing. We were married in a very large open atrium at a hotel in Minneapolis. I highly recommend Sharon for any social event (wedding, holiday parties..) you may have.

:

Lori, Your Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail time was such a joyous occasion! I loved performing the beautiful music that you selected and appreciated our meeting many months earlier at the hotel. You helped me envision exactly what you had in mind for your wonderful Wedding Day! I wish you a beautiful life together!

Engagement Party•Reviewed on November 1, 2016•From Saint Paul, MN

Sharon performed well above expectations!!! We were so pleased and thankful we found her for our daughter's engagement party. Sharon visited the venue before hand and played the "play list" the couple selected beautifully. I will definitely call upon Sharon again if ever in need for a pianist in the future. Thank you Sharon for making the night perfect for my daughter and soon to be son-in-law.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on September 14, 2016•From Lakeland, MN

Sharon is very professional. We had a different kind of event in which we asked her to take part in a historical presentation interjected with music and song. She was flexible in the planning process and worked well with the soloist. Our guests loved it! I would not hesitate to work with Sharon on our future event needs in the Twin Cities.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on October 17, 2016•From Red Wing, MN

Sharon showed up plenty early and was fully prepared for my guests when they arrived. The music was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we were looking for! She kept in great communication during the planning process and was very easy to work with! I would absolutely recommend her!

Thank you, Magan. Your event was beautiful. I loved being your pianist!

Private Party•Reviewed on December 30, 2015•From Saint Paul, MN

We were so fortunate to have Sharon play piano for us at our recent Holiday Gathering and retirement party for my husband. She was so organized and communicated so well with me during hectic last minute decision making and program changes. She was familiar with our venue and had such a great repertoire of music for us to choose from. She graciously accompanied our grandchildren (ages 9 and 10) in singing a song in Mandarin Chinese which was a huge hit. I am still receiving accolades re her playing from friends and family and cannot thank her enough! Victoria Elmer

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 12, 2016•From Bloomington, MN

Sharon was very accommodating of changes and very reliable during our event. Her music was very entertaining and set the tone for a very successful business dinner.

:

Brenda, Thank you for your kind words. Your event was beautiful and very classy! Planning an event from out-of-state has its challenges. You did a great job!

Review by Sara F.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 18, 2016•From Edina, MN

Sharon was incredible! She took the time to meet with us (at our event location) prior to our wedding day to talk about different music options. We knew the type of music we wanted (similar sounds/songs) but wanted something different. Sharon took the time to listen to our requests and instantly had songs to recommend that were beautiful but rather unknown. Sharon was absolutely amazing and will recommend her to everyone! I hope to have the opportunity to host an event in the future to use Sharon again.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 17, 2016•From Minneapolis, MN

Sharon was excellent. We requested some fairly challenging songs and she was happy to purchase the sheet music and learn the song before the wedding. We also had a singer and she worked directly with him for practicing, asked what key to play the song in for the singer, and sent him a recording for him to practice with. She also played very well during the wedding. Overall, very good experience.

:

Matthew, I loved your creative musical ideas! It was great fun surprising your guests with your recessional and it was such a pleasure accompanying your vocalist. I am so glad the music reflected you and your bride. Best wishes to a wonderful future together! Sharon

Celebration•Reviewed on August 15, 2016•From Minneapolis, MN

Sharon played at a Brunch held in my home the day after my sons wedding. She was great to work with! She was pleasant, arrived early got set up and went to work! She played her beautiful music and was even willing to stay longer than we had initially discussed. Before she came, She gave me a long list of song choices to choose from which in the end i didn't do because I was so busy with other wedding prep, but that was just fine because she played a beautiful selection. One aspect of the wedding weekend I didn't have to think twice about and worked out perfectly! I would highly recommend Sharon and would love to have her back to play again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 4, 2016•From Minneapolis, MN

I do not give five stars lightly! Sharon was excellent in all regards. She learned music for the event, she had good suggestions, she looked fabulous, and we spent nearly an hour on the phone the first time we spoke. Many guests who know music well have commented on her ability and how they enjoyed her performance. All around terrific. Kieran Flaherty

Sharon was fantastic! She was friendly, professional and made our holiday event so special. Everyone at the party commented on how nice it was to have live music! She didn't overpower the room either, it was just enough to add some sparkle to the festivities! Thanks Sharon! Well done! I would highly recommend her!

Celebration•Reviewed on August 20, 2015•From Minneapolis, MN

Sharon was a delight, she played the perfect set of songs for the occasion and event. It was one less thing for me to worry about, and when hosting a large event for 160 people that really helped.

Celebration•Reviewed on February 10, 2015•From Rosemount, MN

Sharon and Serena provided the perfect ambiance to our "Downton Abbey" Surprise Tea Party for Susan! Their talent, enthusiasm, and friendliness were mentioned to me (the host) many times by all who attended. Had the pleasure of attending their practice session where they both went above and beyond by learning to play "Downton Abbey" music for the tea! I could not have asked for a more talented pair to take us all back to the 1920's to make this a very special day for Susan (who was "joyfully crying" that day). Thank you both for a memorable day with my wife and friends! It could not have been better! :>>>
