My wife and I had a 50th Wedding Anniversary Party for about 100 family and friends and wanted a keyboard player to provide background music. We both agree that Ivan was the perfect musician for the event. We previously provided Ivan with a list of requested favorites, including standards, 50’s and 60’s, selections etc. Ivan certainly added much to the festive celebration. He is a great professional musician with an extremely pleasant and easy going personality. Our guest were equally pleased. I highly recommend Ivan for your special occasion. I’m certain that you will be equally pleased.

Details: General event / party • 51 - 75 guests • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Guitar • Piano • Oldies • Variety • Covers • Concert hall / auditorium

Ivan was simply wonderful. Altho he had suffered a back sprain earlier in the week, he refused to cancel out on me. He soldiered on and was set up and playing even before the event began, while my guests were arriving. A keyboardist/singer like Ivan is, in my opinion, so much classier than a DJ. Since my guests were predominantly middle age or older, I didn't want blaring, ear-shattering music from a DJ that would impede conversations by the guests. (This event was also something of a family reunion, so guests knew each other and wanted to catch up on events.) Ivan's music was perfect for that: contemporary pop music and love ballads, conducive for dancing. He's the ultimate professional and a lovely guy. Very classy! I highly recommend. Five stars!

Details: Birthday party • 25 guests or fewer • 12 years old or younger • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Vocals • Piano • Dance • Pop / top 40 • Oldies • Rock / classic rock • Banquet hall / ballroom

Ivan was great during our prep conversations and of course when he played during my vow renewal ceremony cocktail hour. Several guests advised me that they really loved the music Ivan played. We all agreed it was a nice touch to have a piano player during cocktail hour and we’re glad we hired Ivan!

Ivan was a wonderful pianist for our wedding ceremony, helping to make our special day even more special. He came incredibly prepared, on time, and his music memorized and ready to go with our selections for the processional and recessional. He improvised by playing additional music we loved for the guest entrance and cocktail hour. Ivan played with sensitivity and skill, was a joy to work with, and earned the compliments of our guests, many of whom are professional musicians. Thank you, Ivan!
