Having Skip play for my firm's holiday party was the best decision we made! He was timely, professional, kind, and brought the best talent to the table! Thank you Skip!

Skip was great! Super accommodating and we are so happy we booked him for our wedding. He played the ceremony and cocktail hour and the guests loved him. If piano music is what you’re looking for I’d highly recommend Skip!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 1, 2018•From Newport News, VA

Skip was WONDERFUL! He contacted my parents to form a playlist tailored to their tastes for their anniversary party, kept in contact with me for the contracting piece, showed up promptly and early, and happily played to the crowd's delight. Many of my parents' friends asked Skip for a card if that is any indication of how well he performed. So glad we booked Skip and he made the event truly special!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 30, 2017•From Norfolk, VA

Skip looked quite 'dapper' in his tuxedo. Skip was very accommodating in the 'timing and presentation' of the United States Air Force song for us, and the happy birthday music too, and particularly wonderful 'love' songs for our 50th wedding anniversary and my husband's 90th birthday. Highly recommend Skip to everyone.

Very professional and played beautifully. Was very patient, as my concert was running over time and he stayed to do extra songs. Will definitely use again

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 18, 2015•From Virginia Beach, VA

If I could go higher than a 5, I would. I can't begin to say enough remarkable things about Skip. His professionalism, talent and ease to work with, was one of stellar quality. He truly made our event very special, and we received numerous positive comments from the crowd. I would highly recommend Skip to all that I know, and I hope we get a chance to see him again in the future.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 26, 2015•From Virginia Beach, VA

Skip was amazing at our Virginia Beach wedding. A great talent and super to work with. He handled the ceremony so well. Wouldn't think twice about recommending Skip!

Review by Michael N.

Wedding•Reviewed on December 15, 2014•From Virginia Beach, VA

A consummate professional! Stayed in contact with us before the big day. Arrived before I did, scoped out the venue to make sure he didn't need to use his own gear (he brought it just in case). Played exactly the music we asked for, even the special request stuff. Will recommend to anyone looking for a solid musician for their special event.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 30, 2014•From Virginia Beach, VA

Skip did an amazing job playing piano at our wedding!! He was very accommodating to all of our requests, he was easy to work with (even through email), and he was very professional. Would definitely enjoy working with him again!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on January 4, 2014•From Norfolk, VA

Skip was great! I hired him to play ceremony and cocktail hour music for my wedding. As an out-of-town bride, I didn't have the opportunity to meet him in person or hear him live before my event. However, he was always responsive to my calls or emails and I felt confident that he would do a great job. I wasn't disappointed. Everything was very seamless and his transitions between songs was great. The piano music added a very elegant touch to my wedding.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 12, 2013•From Virginia Beach, VA

Skip was incredibly accommodating to our unique tastes in music! Communication was quick, clear, and concise. He wowed our guests but even more so wowed the groom and I! I couldn't imagine the ceremony without his talent and would recommend him to all those interested in hiring a highly professional and flexible musician for their event. Thank you, Skip!

Private Party•Reviewed on October 8, 2012•From Portsmouth, VA

Skip is personable, soft and kind. He is not intimidating at all - to those of us who love music but may not be able to communicate our needs - he thinks out what suits your "gig" for you. When Skip first arrived at my house, I was worn and exhausted from preparation for my husband's passing and memorial send-off. Skip read my mind. he learned my husband's "songs." He has 5000 of his own memorized. Skip is a total gentleman. This experience was economical, painless and soothing. Please have this panist perform in your home. If he could pull it off so seamlessly in my home, he can perform effortlessly anywhere.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 12, 2012•From Virginia Beach, VA

Skip played beautifully for my wedding ceremony! We had a last minute change in venue, and he was able to accommodate by bringing his own piano. Skip full filled every request we had, and gave us piece of mind on our special day. He's personable and professional. We were very satisfied with his service and highly recommend him!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on March 20, 2012•From Norfolk, VA

Skip was awesome. We had a wonderful time with him. He played everything that we requested and then some. He has a large amount of music he brings with him to accommidate anyone's requests. A true professional. From my wedding he was asked to perform his talents at one of my guests wedding.

Review by Benjamin K.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 8, 2011•From Powhatan, VA

Skip Hancock is worth every single cent. We gave him a very difficult task in mixing jazz swing style into traditional wedding and religious music. This resulted in some of the best renditions of wedding music that I have ever heard in my life. His "jazzed" version of Trumpet Voluntary could easily be the new standard for bridal entrances - as everyone in our congregation loved it. His styling, professionalism, and flexibility makes him my highest pick for pianists from this point on. In fact, we are hoping to have another event that we can book Skip to come and play for. My spouse and I can fully -without ANY hesitation- endorse and recommend Skip Hancock.
