Feedback
- Peter is fabulous! His musical talent and versatility was more than we could even have hoped for. His professionalism and friendliness could not have been better. I will recommend him to any and all. -- Steve D, Hamden, CT, 7/31/2010
- Peter is a wonderful pianist and entertainer. He added so much to our wedding dinner, knowing just the right music to play at just the right time. Every request I made he honored fully, from accompanying my singing at one point, to getting the room singing at evening's end. And he did this during the October Nor'easter, arriving on time ready to play! Just amazing.
Finally, Peter is an incredibly talented pianist. As a musician myself I set the bar pretty high, and Peter more than met my expectations. I am so grateful to have found him on Gigmaster's, and I recommend him wholeheartedly.
Carolyn Rogers -- Carolyn R, New Haven, CT, 10/29/2011
- Enjoyed Peter's playing and singing! Would hire again! -- David O, New Haven, CT, 12/3/2011
- Peter really made my husband's 40th birthday party fun. One of our guests got to sing with him and everyone's requests were filled. He had a great mix of music for the evening and was a pleasure to deal with. He is very talented and we look forward to another opportunity to have him entertain us. -- Denise C, Hopkinton, MA, 3/14/2009
- Always a crowd pleaser.
Very professional.
-- Margo D, North Kingstown, RI, 12/16/2011
- Peter was the hit of our Christmas Party. He was professional, well prepared and was accommodating to our guest's requests. Most importantly....he was fun! We would not hesitate recommending his services and we'd definitely hire him again if given the opportunity.

Shoreline Business Solutions -- Margo D, Mystic, CT, 12/11/2009
- Pleasure to work with and very talented; we wouldn't hesitate to recommend peter. -- Matt G, Farmington, CT, 10/1/2011
- We are very pleased with Peter's performance and professionalism during the cocktail hour of our wedding reception. He was there set up and ready to play punctually and he was unobtrusive. He provided great background jazz that was festive and at the right decibel level that allowed guests to have conversations comfortably. I only have praise for his performance and would highly recommend him to others. -- Hedy M, Mystic, CT, 6/25/2011
- Peter is a very talented and professional musician who is very accommodating and very entertaining! He was awesome to work with! Many of my retirement party guests were praising his talents and musicianship! I would definitely hire him again! You should definitely hire him; you will be very pleased! Oh, and he is "high class" in my opinion, which means a lot to me! Good luck! -- Robin S, New London, CT, 7/2/2011
- We hired Peter for a family Christmas party which included adults and children. He was able to accommodate sing a long Christmas carols for the kids, jazz music during our sit down dinner and dancing music after. Everyone at the party said it was the best party EVER- mainly because of Peter. He is so talented and we cannot wait to hire him again.
Sincerely,
Dawn -- Dawn K, Stamford, CT, 12/11/2010
- He arrived early in the morning and was ready to play at the right time. He mingled with the crowd and seem to feel right at home. Everyone complimented him including the restaurant. His choice of music was exactly what the party asked for. Peter allowed my mother to sing a song at her request. It was the best moment of my mothers life and Peter made it happen. My family and friends could not thank him enough for being there on this special day and letting my mother be a "special lady" for the day.
I would use Peter in the future and recommend him to anyone. He was just perfect. Thank you gigmasters for the opportunity to meet Peter.
-- Sandy M, Bristol, CT, 4/30/2011
- Peter was very sweet and easy to work with! He is very talented at what he does and we were very pleased with his one man-band show at our wedding dinner. All of our family and friends agreed :-)
Sincerely, Matthew and Pamela DeRice -- Pamela V, Middletown, CT, 6/18/2011
- This is the 2nd time we've hired Peter and our employees love him. He's professional and very accommodating to us. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again or refer him to others. -- Margo D, North Kingstown, RI, 12/17/2010
- peter was fabulous- he alternated between our indoor piano and our outdoor terrace site where he used his "one man band." he was equally charming and engaging in both locations and the crowd loved his music. he knows how to be "background" when the time requires and can ramp up the music and vocals at the proper time. he reads the crowd very well. the selection of music was left to his discretion, i would not have changed anything. far more costly bands have never performed as well for us as this one man music engagement. he will definitely be called back to our home and we will suggest him to others. -- Barry R, Guilford, CT, 7/3/2010
- Peter played for a special family birthday luncheon recently at Cafe Allegre in Madison, CT for us. He arrived on time,set up quickly, played beautifully and kept us all entertained throughout. He had an excellent sense for when to sing, play quietly and liven things up a bit. I would recommend him, without reservation, to anyone looking for a pianist. He also stayed an extra 45 minutes longer than was originally agreed upon to accomodate our party running a bit longer.(for a fee of course). 5 star rating by me ;-)
Sue Anne -- Sue Anne P, Madison, CT, 12/19/2010
- My parent's surprise 60th wedding anniversary party was a delightful success...because of the couple, relatives and friends....and because of Peter and his musical talent. Peter is a wonderful musician and a very approachable entertainer who met all of my guest's song requests. He is truly an accomplished pianist and singer who set the mood for a most memorable party. -- Marian D, Glastonbury, CT, 11/28/2010
- Marcia and I would like to thank you so much for your awesome performance at our wedding. It was just want we wanted. Everyone had a good time and had only great comments about you, the music that you played and your wonderful voice. Everything went off without a hitch. Even my 80 year old aunt that HATES loud music commented on how the music level was perfect and your voice was excellent.
My NEW niece Cheryl really loved it that you played the country song (Good Time) that she taught us the line dance to at the end of the event.
-- Ken B, Sturbridge, MA, 10/23/2010
- Peter was fantastic. His voice and piano skills were remarkable - I did not expect such a great level of talent. He was wonderful with the guests. His music selection (which shifted during the party as the needs of the party evolved) was right on target throughout the event. My guests loved him and most asked for his contact information for future reference. I could not have been more happy with the results of this booking. Peter's performance, professionalism and warmth made the party a perfect event! Thank you Peter!!

- Peter was great to work with and so talented! He played all of my special requests and was extemely accommodating! -- Jeffrey K, Hartford, CT, 6/5/2010
- We had a 40th birthday cocktail party and Peter was an excellent addition. He played and sang to the crowd and many people commented on how good he was. His current music via his piano was a big hit. Great job! -- David C, Boylston, MA, 5/1/2010
- Peter is a true professional: talented, entertaining and his performance added that special essence to our wedding that made the occasion even more memorable for ourselves and our guests.
We were delighted in all aspects of working with him. He provided us guidance and his depth of music in our area of interest was deep and comprehensive.
We highly recommend Peter as we could not have been more pleased! -- Morton R, Old Saybrook, CT, 3/27/2010
- Peter Niedmann is a extremely talented, professional performer with patience and kindness to boot. If you are lucky enough to be able to book him for your event you will not be disappointed, he truly delivers all of your expectations and more. He is very easy to work with, gracious, and flexible. His service is outstanding. -- Kimberly G, Providence, RI, 5/30/2009
- Peter was great once again, this is the second time i have used him for a corporate event and he killed everytime. Thanks for a great job, well done!
Michael S. Poggi, President
M. Scott Investments Inc. -- Michael P, Holyoke, MA, 12/1/2010
- The music was exceptional and working with Peter a great pleasure! -- Meghan B, Block Island, RI, 8/22/2009
- Peter was FANTASTIC! Many guests commented on how wonderful the piano player was and "Where did you find him?!" I couldn't agree more. He played (and sometimes also sang) familiar tunes covering a large range of musical styles - even classical - which really appealed to the large numger of music teachers/musicians in attendance at the party. He sightread a difficult Bach piece, accompanying my (soprano) niece on the piano without a flaw. Peter Niedmann can play ANYTHING! I would hire him again in a second! (And probably will the next time I have an event!) A very pleasant, accomodating and extremely talented man. -- Eileen C, East Windsor, CT, 4/3/2010
- Peter performed for a birthday party in my home. We couldn't have been more pleased. Perfect all around. Thanks to Peter for providing a great time for all our guests. What a hit! -- Patty B, Orange, CT, 9/19/2009
- Peter played and sang wonderfully for my Mom's birthday party, all the songs she loved when I was growing up...Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Elvis, Beatles, Billy Joel, a terrific mix of music which suited all age groups...He was great. I plan to go see him at On20 on a Friday night soon! -- Karen S, Southbury, CT, 2/21/2010
- Peter played for us at a semi-formal charity auction and did a great job! He looked great, played beautifully and added some great vocals as well. He also had an excellent choice of music for the type of event and the crowd. -- Fred L, Hartford, CT, 2/27/2009
- We were SO happy with Peter for our party! He arrived early and was extremely personable and talented. Our guests raved about him and we will definitely contact him again in the future! -- Michelle H, Trumbull, CT, 12/6/2008
- Peter did a fantastic job! Arrived on time and held to his time commitment. Our group had many requests and Peter was very accommodating!! I strongly recommend him.
-- Janette E, Hartford, CT, 5/26/2008
- peter was personable, talented and very accommodating He played almost continuously and was extremely responsive to requests. We asked him to play background music so that people could carry on conversations, and he did just that. -- Arline R, Worcester, MA, 7/11/2010
- Peter was fantastic to work with! An absolute delight! He responded promptly to emails and he was most accommodating when we made some last minute changes to our party. When Peter's name was provided by Gigmasters, I went to his website right away and was impressed with the on-line samples he provided and he was even better in person. Our party guests were very pleased with Peter's performance. Thank you, Peter. -- Sara Z, Wethersfield, CT, 6/13/2009
- Peter was awesome. He arrived early to set up and was very accomadating to our requests. His performance was fantastic. We loved those songs he picked for the party. He really made it a wonderful time to remember for everybody. I would definitely recommend him to my friends. -- Min S, Avon, CT, 6/13/2010
- Peter was great, he arrived as scheduled and was dressed very professionally. Peter is incredibly talented, and has followed up with us since the occasion to ensure our satisfaction with his performance. Peter is passionate about his career as a gifted musician as it was very apparent during our Wedding and has continued to show through afterward as well! Thanks Peter, all the best! - Dan & Stacey -- Dan P, Uncasville, CT, 7/12/2008
- A complete professional. Peter was gracious, pleasant with all of our guests, and happy to accomodate requests. He arrived on time at our home and played throughout the stipulated period.
He added a great sense of celebration to our party. -- Maryann M, Trumbull, CT, 6/28/2008
- This was the first time I used GigMasters and I had a great experience. My event was a Building Grand Opening Party with over 150 guests. Peter is a great performer and kept the atmosphere of the party lively.
In the days before the party he was extremely helpful, letting us know in advance what he needed (which wasn't much). He showed up well before the event began and played beyond the scheduled end time.
The guests enjoyed his choice of music.
Peter will be my performer of choice for my next event. I highly recommend him. -- Brian C, Fishkill, NY, 3/6/2009
- Peter was extremely professional and flexible. He arrived early to reherse with our additional musicians and played beautifully during our ceremony. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an organist for a church wedding!
Victoria -- Victoria G, Litchfield, CT, 2/14/2009

Windsor, CT -- Mitch P, Windsor, CT, 4/18/2009
- Peter went up and beyond for this occasion. It was a terrible snowstorm with practically a foot of snow and Peter still arrived at our holiday party. He was wonderful, everyone loved him and would love to have him again. Our holiday parties are usually quiet and everyone to themselves. Not this year, thanks to Peter. He was Excellent. -- Jessica N, Farmington, CT, 12/19/2008
- This gig was a little different -- it was not to perform at an event, but to record a song I had written. Peter responded promptly, communicated several times to make sure he understood what I was looking for, and then quickly provided the finished product. I was very pleased with the way the song sounded. Peter went out of his way to accomodate different aspects of my request. His asking price was more than reasonable. I give Peter my highest recommendation! -- Kevin C, Billerica, MA, 2/28/2009
- Peter was on our house 40 min. before time, so he could get everything set. Very friendlly, talent, beautiful voice, great choice of music. I'll recomend Peter to all my friends. He's a keeper!
Angela -- Angela N, Deep River, CT, 6/20/2009
- He was prompt, courteous and gifted.
It was a pleasure to have him at the event.
-- James S, Westport, CT, 9/21/2007

I received positive feedback from my guests, many who said the music complemented the event perfectly. -- Kelly S, East Windsor, CT, 6/27/2010
- Peter Neidmann provided great music for our company holiday party. He was both professional and tallented. -- Kate L, Shelton, CT, 12/17/2009
- Peter was very friendly towards all the guests. He was able to accomadate the noise level in playing because of the fact of the party being in our home. His ability to play all types of music from the 50s to the preent time made the party a great event. I would recomend Peter to anyone who would ask. Also. his fee was very reasonable and we hope to ask him back someday. Thank you. -- Anne M, West Hartford, CT, 1/16/2010

- Peter is a gifted professional. I would highly reccomend!! -- Sandra H, Mendon, MA, 12/3/2010
- Peter was great! He played my daughter's wedding reception. She asked for some classical and some jazz / popular music. He started with Chopin, while people were socializing. His timing for moving to the more modern stuff was perfect. This wasn't a dance event, but the music was so good, I requested about 5 numbers from him at different times for a few impromptu dances. Like, "unforgettable", or "sway." He started right in. I wold highly recommend Peter. He was real cool about things. -- Mark V, Springfield, MA, 5/7/2011
