Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 6, 2017•From Hewlett, NY

Jim was absolutely AMAZING!!!! He really made the party so special for me and my guests. Played the right songs at the right time and was able to read the crowd to know what they wanted. So much fun and I would highly recommend Jim to anyone who wants to have a really fun night. Debbie

Thank YOU, Debbie, for booking me and allowing me to be part of a fun night! You have a great network of family and friends and I can see why. :) Take care- Jim Keefe

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 21, 2017•From Paramus, NJ

I hired Jim Keefe for my husbands surprise 60th birthday party. My husband and all of the guests commented that having him as our "piano man" elevated the evening from a party to an event. Not only is he extremely talented in voice and playing the piano, but he motivated the guests to dance, and truly enjoy the evening. His repertoire of songs was amazing and diversified. There wasn't any requests by our guests that Jim didn't know. I wish that I had another big event to host - so that we could bring him back as our entertainment. I would not hesitate in recommending Jim for any party or event ... he is amazing.

Thanks very much for the glowing review, Alice! It was a pleasure to perform for your family and friends. Let's do it again soon! :) -Best, Jim

Easter Celebration•Reviewed on April 19, 2017•From Plainfield, NJ

We hired Jim Keefe to play during appetizers and the first half hour of our Easter dinner. This was our first time doing anything like this and we weren't sure if it would truly serve the day. Jim was fabulous! Sweet, easy going yet professional. He had a wide variety of songs to play and choose from and was extremely personable. He was a welcome addition to the holiday and made it very easy for everyone come together and celebrate. Thank you Jim! Lauren & Adam

Thanks very much for the great review, Adam. You and Lauren made me feel extremely welcome and at home. Your family was gracious and hospitable. It was the kind of job musicians dream of. Not many of us can say they've sat down at the dining room table with their client's family for (a delicious) Easter dinner! Thank you again. -Jim

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 16, 2017•From Scotch Plains, NJ

Needed a pianist at the last minute for my wife's 30th birthday party. Jim's rate was extremely reasonable compared to all other quotes received. Brought his own mic rig and speaker and braved some bad weather. As others have mentioned in the reviews, I showed him where the piano was and he had us covered for the night. He warmed up the cocktail hour with classic standards and as we started to get liquored-up, he started playing everything from Billy Joel, The Beatles, Queen, and many other modern songs. We even did quite a few rounds of karaoke!! I can't say enough good things about the Jim experience! He is amazingly talented, funny, and has a great personality!

Thank you for the great review Daniel! It was a real pleasure to perform at your wife's party. You have some awesome friends and family and the Steinway was a real treat to play! Thanks again! -Jim Keefe

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 12, 2016•From Franklin Lakes, NJ

Jim arrived on time and ready to perform and performed he did! He was fantastic. I held a company holiday party at my home for my agents and their spouses. Jim was ready for anything that was requested. In just a few minutes before my guests arrived I asked Jim if he would play Sleigh Bells Ring, as I had changed the lyrics to sing a song to my agents. In no time Jim and I rehearsed (less then 5 min.) we were ready to go. Myself and my guests had a wonderful evening with Jim. All commented on how wonderful and talented he is. He of course made the party. I look forward to hiring him again.

Thanks so much for the very generous review, Fran! You have a beautiful house and wonderful guests, and you throw a great Christmas party! Have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Your singing pianist, Jim Keefe

This guy was great, he showed up, I pointed to the piano and the rest is history. Very entertaining, we sang along my only regret is not booking him for longer.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 31, 2014•From Denville, NJ

Jim is accommodating and very, very talented. He had the crowd singing within the first five songs and everybody wanted his contact information. He received lots of compliments from the guests. The birthday party was a huge success because Jim is a fun guy to whom everyone responds.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 11, 2014•From East Brunswick, NJ

Jim Keefe played at our home for my husband's 40th surprise party. From start to finish, Jim was top-notch. I was looking for a bar sing-along atmosphere and Jim did more than deliver. He provided an extensive song list, even learned new songs for our event and brought packets of lyrics to songs so party goers could sing along. It was a blast and guests told me it was the best party they had ever been to. We all enjoyed it so much that the very next day I booked Jim for my son's Communion party, which due to his versatility will be an entirely different experience. I highly recommend Jim Keefe for a unique and memorable event.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 28, 2013•From Hackettstown, NJ

Jim's was the best! I did not want my guest to know I hired entertainment so Jim just sat down and played like he was my friend. He kept my guest singing christmas carols and other great songs we all knew. He made my party! I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is pleasant and extremely talented. Go with Jim!!!!!!
