Feedback
- Steve Shoaf saved our wedding! The pianist we had hired a year before the wedding was unable to play and gave us very little notice. Steve was kind enough to step in just a few weeks prior to our date...he knew all the ceremony music even though they were not "traditional" songs. He played thru our cocktail hour as well as dinner and everyone commented on how wonderful his playing was. His music set a wonderfully romantic, elegant background for our affair. We will certainly recommend him to others!
Many Thanks,
Jason and Kristin Neal -- Krissie C, Raleigh, NC, 10/17/2009
- Steve's talent and presence at our wedding made it even more spectacular than we could have ever imagined! He was accommodating with the selections, communicated clearly with us as we planned in the months prior to the event, and made such a perfect addition to our ceremony and reception. I cannot tell you how many of our guest commented on Steve's performance and how unbelievably talented he was. Thank you, Steve, for not only your contribution musically, but also your kindness and flexibility! We HIGHYLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Steve Shoaf for any event you may be considering! With warmest regards, Erin and Rick Harbaugh -- Erin Elizabeth S, Gold Hill, NC, 7/24/2010
- Words can't describe the talent of Steve Shoaf! We very were honored to have him play at our wedding reception in Asheville. He was more than accommodating when it came to traveling to our venue and taking into account our special requests. He set the perfect mood for dinner and also for dancing that followed. I would recommend Steve Shoaf if you want a wonderful musician!! -- Jessie M, Asheville, NC, 1/1/2011
- Steve added so much value to our party. He played for 2 hours at my parents anniversary party, and was very happy to add in "special songs" that were meaningful to my parents.
Two things that made Steve stand out - he added his professional experience to help me craft the "perfect evening" for my parents, and that helped a lot. In addition, he took requests and went so far as to look up a song on his iphone so he could hear it, then play it for us. And he was flawless!
Excellent vendor, and I'd hire him again in a heartbeat! -- Jason L, Asheville, NC, 3/19/2011
- Steve was phenomenal - particularly given that there was a mix-up in dates and was still able to perform at our business event. Additionally, he went out of his way to make sure he arrived on time at a venue that was a fair distance away.
His performance was wonderful, fitting in perfectly with the ambiance our organization wanted to capture for a gathering of local business leaders. Our guests truly enjoyed his music and many compliments were paid to him as to how beautifully he played.
I would not hesitate in the slightest to hire Steve again - extremely professional, prompt in contact regarding the event and a wonderful pianist!!!! -- Gretchen C, Monroe, NC, 9/23/2011
- Steve was extremely accomodating to every request. He was very pleasant, professional and very talented. His performance added that "special touch" to a night that was very special for all who attended.
I appreciate the ease of working with him and through Gigmasters. If the needed arises for a musical performer and/or the Gigmaster services, I will be sure to start my search at gigmasters.com.
Thanks again!

- Steve was just the person we were looking for to perform at our event. In the past for this function at our Annual Meeting we have hired a band. Steve's talents added the finishing touch to this year's event.
We will definitely request him again and also recommend him to others!
