Feedback

  • James preformed for our wedding's cocktail hour June 5, 2010 in Point Pleasant, NJ. He is an extremely talented individual and a true gentleman. Many guests complimented his playing and he was a wonderful addition to our day. Not only is James talented, but he is certainly a pleasure to work with as well. He is courteous, professional, and extremely accommodating. I would recommend his talent to anyone - and with great pleasure do I provide this review. Thank you James for everything! We can only hope to been graced with your talent again in the future, Best, Bobbi & Frankie -- Bobbi G, Point Pleasant, NJ, 6/5/2010
  • James Clark is a gem! You will love his piano playing and love working with him in preparation of your event. He worked with all of our planning requests and exceeded all of our expectations. He is 100%reliable, responsive and extremely cordial. His piano playing and musical choices couldn't have been better! One of my guests wanted his information for an upcoming event she was having. I am certain that she will have an excellent experience. -- Michele S, Tuckahoe, NY, 3/28/2010
  • James was just great! He made our party a night to remember. Without exception our guests were impressed -- Tom M, Breezy Point, NY, 2/6/2010
  • In each category, James Clark, rates 5 stars. His professionalism, his personalilty, his repetoire, and his overall presentation were excellent. He would be an asset to any celebration. We were fortunate to have him on Oct. 1. -- John K, Brooklyn, NY, 10/1/2011
  • James' performance was the perfect addition to our post-wedding cocktail reception. He was prepared with music per our discussion and was extremely professional. Many of our guests remarked on the fantastic ambience that his playing added to the event. I would recommend James to anyone looking for a professional piano player for a classy event. -- Bryan B, New York, NY, 12/3/2011
  • James was perfect for our event. We wanted background/mood music for a 2 hour cocktail party. He was a bit early, VERY presentable, accommodating, provided excellent music without stopping, and the event went long, but he stayed at his post without a break or a whimper. We were MOST PLEASED. I could not recommend James more highly for this type of event and music need. -- Lamar S, New York, NY, 2/4/2012
  • James and Yasmine were great. They were a pleasure to work with at every stage (working out the details prior to the event, setting up for the event, and performance at the actual event). Everyone at our cocktail party kept commenting how lovely the music was. I would definitely recommend them to any one looking for a piano and singing duo -- though either one alone could easily hold an audience's attention. -- Katherine M, New York City, NY, 1/28/2012
