FuneralReviewed on September 26, 2021From Temple Hills, MD

The Ivory Tickler arrived on time, worked with us for the music selection and played beautifully. His jazz and ragtime music made the funeral seem more like a celebration of life instead of a sad occasion. I would definitely request his services again.

The Ivory Tickler:

Thank you for the kind words. I was glad I was able to find the proper balance between respectful and celebratory in a wonderful if different community setting that I often play in. It was an honor to lift the spirits of those in attendance. Blessings, and thanks again. Bill Edwards

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on January 15, 2020From Fairfax, VA

We hired Bill for our recent wedding reception's cocktail hour, and he was fantastic. He was friendly, professional, and delivered a fantastic performance. His repertoire was perfect for the setting and all our guests really loved his performance. Would highly recommend to anyone!

CelebrationReviewed on April 8, 2019From Baltimore, MD

Bill was amazing! We threw an centennial cocktail party for our house and wanted music from the 1910s and 1920s. Bill's repertoire is expansive, he dressed the part and performed wonderfully. Bill really knows how to play a party, setting the mood based on the group dynamics. When folks were mingling, he kept things flowing in the background and when partygoers started peppering him with requests or questions, he was able to accommodate and provide anecdotes about the history of the music. It was lot's of fun! Everyone in the neighborhood loved it. Bill is real talent. It was a real honor to have him play at our event.

The Ivory Tickler:

Thanks for the kind review. It did not hurt that host was very engaged in the history of the event as well, and was quite generous, making it quite easy for me to give my all. A true pleasure, especially with such an appreciative crowd.

For my impromptu piano party I found Bill on Gigmaster. The guy knows his stuff. What a great event it turned out to be. Such a seemless setup. Formally requested his services at noon. He confirmed immediately and arrived promptly for the 7pm event. Got to work with little to no guidance needed, and he impressed. A++

CelebrationReviewed on January 8, 2018From Chevy Chase, MD

He was very professional and talented. Nicely dressed for the occasion and had an incredible library of songs in his head. The Ivory tickler can play anything on request! I will surely call on him again for my next event.

New Year's Eve PartyReviewed on January 4, 2018From Linthicum Heights, MD

Bill was terrific, he played for hours with all styles of sing-along tunes. The crowd responded and he was a welcome part of our overall Chicago theme. Very professional and polite, he was ready to play on time and did not disappoint!

Baby ShowerReviewed on December 3, 2017From Clinton, MD

Ivory Tickler was prompt, very knowledgeable of the songs for my baby shower event. He was also a very good Jazz player pianist. My guest loved him and I would like to book him for every event that will require his services.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on September 9, 2016From Richmond, VA

We are a national singing group, and know music. This guy was over the top GREAT! His personality was 20+ he can play anything and sing and just knows his craft. He is 1st to call on my list. As Artist ourselves, our hat's off to this talented musician. A people person, on time, dressed the part and a great person. He taught us a few things. We are Marvin Gaye's first group, ,61 years of experience. The Ivory Tickler came in a nd took us to school. In a few words HIRE Jim you won't regret it. Best, from The Marquees

Private PartyReviewed on December 14, 2015From Washington, DC

Bill arrived as scheduled, and was very professional. He had a perfect understanding of what type of atmosphere I wanted for the event, and he set the perfect time. Bill seamlessly played song after song to the delight of our guests. I would certainly hire Bill again, and would recommend him to anyone considering hiring a pianist for their event.
