Sharon went above and beyond to make sure her performance was exceptional. She offered to bring her electronic piano when she was concerned that an acoustic piano would be difficult to hear, and checked with our venue on her own to make sure they had a sound system. After playing for a few minutes, she recorded herself and walked throughout the room to make sure she was not playing over people's conversations. She stayed late to play until all the guests left. Sharon is a delight to work with and I would recommend her wholeheartedly!

Sharon Planer truly made our wedding reception a wonderful event. She played so beautifully and her song choices were so perfect - exactly what we had asked for, but really so much more than we ever expected. Sharon is such a nice person and was so great about keeping in touch with us before the reception and always answered our e-mails promptly. Her musicical talent is truly inspiring and our guests just loved her! She was a perfect addition to our special day, and we're so happy Sharon was able to share it with us.

Sharon was fabulous. She plays the piano beautifully. I didn't have to worry about a thing- she contacted the vocalists, the band, the officiant etc & worked out all the details with them! I would hire Sharon again & I would recommend that my friends & family use her for their upcoming events.

Sharon was a wonderful pianist. We greatly appreciated her willingness to be so very accomodating with times, schedules, extra practices, etc. She met with our soloist extra times at no charge. That was so nice and so helpful. Sharon was great and a wonderful addition to the ceremony.

Sharon Planer is absolutely wonderful - a very talented, professional, detail-orientated pianist that added so much to our wedding event with her piano playing. She was incredibly accommodating and flexible to our requests by learning new songs which meant a great deal to us. She was also very organized and communicated with me before the event numerous times to ensure all details were covered (this was especially important as my event was outdoors).
Without hesitation we recommend Sharon Planer to anyone looking to add some elegant polish, or just plain FUN, to any event.
Sharon, thank you for sharing your talents and friendship! --Mary & Ken

Sharon was wonderful! We asked Sharon to arrive at the party after many of the guests had arrived. She was great! She came right in, set up, and provided a wonderful atmosphere at my wedding reception. I did not have to worry about her performance the entire evening, it was beautiful. She played wonderful music that young and old could appreciate. She even inspired several of my guests to get up and dance. I would recommend her for any event.

Hiring Sharon was one of the best decisions that we made in regards to our event. She was prepared, organized, and professional. Her music was beautiful and we are still receiving comments regarding it several weeks after. She was so easy to work with and more than willing to assist us in anything that we needed. I have already given her name to other departments on campus, and we hope to hire her again ourselves.

Sharon is extremely talented and accomodating and has fantastic communication skills. If you want to be able to depend on a pianist for your event - look no further, trust me. The following are just a few examples of Sharon being accomodating and a great communicator. Sharon proactively found a location to meet my fiance and I, and brought all of her equipement. She (and her equipment) traveled to meet with us or our vocalist on 3 different occassions. Without being requested, she went to find our reception location well in advance to ensure that she wouldn't be late day of the rehearsal and to review the layout (she even sought out and talked to the wedding planner while she was there to confirm her logistics for the evening of the event.) She emailed me with updates whenever she would meet with the vocalist or talk to our wedding planner. She had lots of ideas and options for beautiful music. We had many compliments on her beutiful work. You can count on Sharon to be professional and VERY easy to work with. She and her music were an absolutely wonderful addition to our wedding!

Sharon played for our employee holiday party and provided wonderful music. The music was a great icebreaker and still allowed everyone to have conversations without raising their voices. Highly recommend Sharon for any event and if the occasion arises again, would plan on booking her.
