Review by Lisa W.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 23, 2011•From Beverly Hills, CA

Lawrence receives our highest recommendation, and we look forward to booking him again! He delighted our guests with his superior musical performance skills, pleased them with his wide repertoire, impressed them with his flexibility (when the birthday girl wanted to sing a song and dance a few steps), and charmed them with his personality. He did a good job of selecting songs based on the age of and type of guests as well as the . He was prompt and professional, and he even put a lot of effort into making the contracting/payment process easy for us. The birthday girl was delighted with him, and so are we! Simply "excellent" in every way.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 29, 2011•From Santa Barbara, CA

I grew up in a large extended family that always had music playing and everyone joined in with the sing along songs during our house parties. So for my Mother's 80th Birthday celebration, I decided to hire Larry to join our house party and play piano for Mom. From the moment he began playing, my Mother joined him in song for virtually 3 hours, non-stop! He played several Irish tunes that my Mother knew by heart, several standards and fun sing along songs that everyone could sing. Although our voices may not be exactly on tune, Larry played the piano and sang along with all of us. He was a wonderful guest, fabulous piano player and we all enjoyed the celebration.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 25, 2018•From Santa Barbara, CA

Lawrence was a pleasure to work with! He was helpful along the planning process and guided me through his website as a resource. He has an array of songs listed on his website that he can play, and on several instruments. His website was definitely a great resource for helping us choose our song picks. He played the guitar and sang beautifully. He's talented and we were honored to have him play at our wedding. Easy to work with, kind, and a great musician! Thank you Lawrence for making our wedding beautiful!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 25, 2010•From Paso Robles, CA

Larry was very accommodating and professional. We received SO many compliments on the music! The piano was amplified well and could be heard clearly during our very windy outdoor ceremony. Larry was willing to learn a song for my processional and discussed the music with me several times over the phone to make sure everything went smoothly.

New Year's Eve Party•Reviewed on January 3, 2017•From North Hollywood, CA

Lawrence very professional, very calm and very pleasant to talk to. He traveled over an hour to our place on New Year's Eve. There was lively dancing and singing along with his accompaniment. We are grateful for his wonderful performance and would like to have him come back for our future events. Reuben

Private Party•Reviewed on April 3, 2014•From Thousand Oaks, CA

Lawrence was great. Arrived on time. Set up sound system. Performed with a young singer. Provided lyrics for sing-along. The party was a blast and Lawrence was a big part of our success.

Saint Patrick's Day Party•Reviewed on April 26, 2013•From Los Angeles, CA

Larry was wonderful to work with, extremely accommodating and agreeable. Our guests loved him. An extremely nice man and a pleasure to have at our party. He worked hard to fulfill some music requests not in his regular repertoire. I hope to have the opportunity to hire him again.

Thank you again Lawrence! You drove many miles in traffic to make our opening event special and we really appreciate it. We had a lot of friends compliment your performance - great job!!!

Private Party•Reviewed on May 2, 2010•From Chatsworth, CA

Our guests thoroughly enjoyed him. He was a real hit! I would highly recommend him. The only suggestion that I would offer is to play more instrumentals (1 for every 4 vocals). A real crowd pleaser!

Lawrence Duff:

I had a great rapport with the client and guests and could have easily accommodated with more instrumentals if the request had been made before or during the gig, and will if he hires me again, as he said he would after the gig.

Community Event•Reviewed on October 13, 2015•From Northridge, CA

Lawrence Duff, an acoustic guitar player, and a mandolin player recently came to the CSUN campus to play at our weekly Farmer's Market. The duo came prepared with a long list of songs, both old and new, and even took requests from my staff. They were very accommodating and provided a soothing and relaxing mood for our event. I enjoyed having them and would definitely consider hiring them again!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 18, 2013•From Costa Mesa, CA

Larry Duff played for our 50th Wedding Anniversary and he provided the music. It far exceeded our expectations. He played all of our favorite songs. It was the perfect music for the occasion, background music while we were having dinner, then later on dance music. Larry is a professional. He is a very talented musician. Two thumbs up!
