Karey performed at my wedding this past weekend and did an amazing job. His piano skills caught everyone's attention but his voice stole the show. We had compliments from guests during and after the wedding. My cousin already wants to hire him for their upcoming event. He showed up on time and was very responsive throughout the whole process. Gave us tips and was happy to do our personal songs during the ceremony. Highly recommended!

Karey was perfect for our wedding! We chose a few songs for him to play during our processional and walk up the aisle, and his rendition of each was spot on. He was communicative in the weeks leading up to the wedding and we felt we were in good hands the whole time!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the incredibly talented keyboardist and soloist, Karey Nickel, for a small private party held at the enchanting Château du Sureau, in Oakhurst, CA. From start to finish, Karey's professionalism and musical prowess were superb. Karey arrived early to set up his equipment, displaying a genuine commitment to his craft and ensuring everything was in perfect order. His easygoing nature and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, making the coordination process smooth and enjoyable. It's always a joy to work with someone who brings such positivity to every interaction. Once the party began, Karey took the stage and captivated the audience with his extraordinary talent. His performances of pop and rock hits from various decades were nothing short of mesmerizing. Each note he played resonated through the Château, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that elevated the entire event. What truly impressed us was Karey's dedication to making the performance memorable for our guests. He went above and beyond by learning some new requests specifically for this event, showcasing his versatility and adaptability as a musician. The smiles, laughter, and dancing from our guests were a testament to his ability to connect with the audience and create an incredibly joyful ambiance. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Karey Nickel to anyone seeking a keyboardist and soloist who will exceed expectations. His exceptional talent, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm make him an outstanding choice for any occasion. We feel fortunate to have had Karey grace our event, and I can confidently say that he contributed greatly to the success and enjoyment of the evening.
