- We can't praise Thomas enough. Professionalism, talent, accommodating and courteous are traits that Thomas truly possess. I highly recommend him for any and all affairs, and we plan to hire him for any future occasions we have. I can't stress enough how pleased we are. He's worth double the cost he charges!!! Thank you for making the beginning of my daughters new life such a joyous time. Sincerely, Susan Yuchnovitz

- We just had the most wonderful wedding ever, thanks in large part to Tom. He is a wonderful performer, friendly to our guests, responsive to our needs, prompt and courteous. Many of our guests went out of their way to compliment our choice of music and our wonderful performer. Thanks, Tom! -- Arlene G, Jamesburg, NJ, 7/10/2011
- Tom was very professional and added a special touch to our 60th Birthday party. He played a nice selection of music and our guests enjoyed him very much. -- Catherine S, Monroe, NJ, 2/12/2011
- I was very pleased with Tom working our event. He played exactly what I had discussed with him prior to that night and mixed in some music he found appropriate judging from the guests that night. The volume he played was so accomodating such we could enjoy the music and hear each other speaking without any problems. I have to say adding Tom to the party made the event a success. I am so pleased and happy that I decided to book him and got extremely positive feedback from all the guests too. In the future, I would consider booking Tom again and many of my guests expressed the same. All that attended the party were enjoying his music as well as restaurant customers !!! -- Laurie C, Edison, NJ, 10/30/2010
- Tom was perfect! He read the crowd and performed accordingly. It was a social so he played loud enough to be heard but not too loud that individuals couldn't talk with each other. The music selection was great. He had a tough crowd to deal with with regard to getting people going. -- Donna M, Cherry Hill, NJ, 10/22/2010
- We auditioned him about two months before the event and told him what type of music we wished played . Our party took place in an elegant setting in Manhattan. We wanted music that was appropriate for the event and the venue. He did not disappoint us. The party was successful, in part, because of the music. -- Carl Y, New York, NY, 5/13/2006
- My family, as Hosts of our event, were very happy with Tom's overall proffesionalism and talent. He was accommodating in every way - including our last-minute change in arrival time. He sensed the musical taste of our guests and in doing so - insured that a great time was had by all. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone! -- Carol M, Franklin Square, NY, 6/19/2010
- Tom was indeed a wonderful surprise; I found him on the Internet and was very leery before the party. He played beautifully including all of the songs I had requested. Many people told me how much they enjoyed the music. The sound level was just perfect for both dancing and conversing.
I would recommend him to anyone and hope to use him again.

Bertie Trager -- Bertie T, Ny, NY, 6/8/2008
- I hired Tom for my wife’s 50th birthday party to play keyboards and sing. From the start Tom was great, as he was very easy and good to deal with before the party. The night of the party Tom was fantastic and did a wonderful job playing all the music I requested. He sounded great and my guests liked him a lot. I received a lot of comments from my guests and family about how wonderful Tom was. We had family members from there 20’s to 80’s and Tom pleased everyone with his music. The party could not have gone better and Tom was a major part of the success. I would recommend Tom very highly and I would hire him again. -- Ron P, Wanaque, NJ, 7/20/2007
- Tom was fantastic!!!!
When you have parties the two things that can make or break the affair are the music and the food. The music Tom provided was perfect. Everyone was raving about the songs he was singing and commented how much they enjoyed listening to the music. Even the owner of the Restaurant kept commenting to me how good Tom was and wanted his information for future parties.
I would most definitely recommend Tom to all my friends and we will be using him again for sure! -- Alisa P, Monroe, NY, 7/7/2007
- Thomas was the best. He played all he was requested to play. He was prompt, courtious, well-mannerd and highly professional. I would recommend Thomas without reservation.
Richard & Bari Siegel -- Richard S, Jamesburg, NJ, 6/17/2006
- Tom was a pleasure to work with. Accomodating with every request. -- Nancy G, Marlton, NJ, 4/15/2006
- Tom was great!! He absolutely did a wonderful job! We had a smaller size room for a retirement party. I described a little of what type of music I thought the guests would enjoy and Tom took over from there. He has a large repetoire and everyone commented on how terrific he was. His playing was great and many, many guests commented on what a nice touch the music was insead of the usual DJ. He confirmed the date, arrived on time and was willing to stay a little longer than we had originally asked. The piano music really created a great party atmosphere and everyone seemed to hang around until the very last minute we had the room. Thanks Tom! -- Nancy W, Moorestown, NJ, 1/29/2006
- Thomas was very professional and entertained the folks at the party with a great set of songs. Everyone remarked how they enjoyed the music. I would have no reservations hiring Thomas again. -- John C, Bayonne, NJ, 11/25/2006
- OMG !!! Tom absolutely made the party a Hit !! He was so accommodating in every aspect of giving us what we wanted and needed to make it a great party !!! He even let me sing a few tunes !! He played for along time and sounded just as good in the end as he did in the beginning !! We danced to up beat music and kicked back when he played the Eagles and Beatles !! His list of music is plenty full !!! We loved tom and would definatly use him again !!! THANKS TOM !!!!! -- Christine C, Westwood, NJ, 12/17/2011
- I was very happy with Tom's ability to accommodate the crowd. He played request, let people sing with him and had sing-a-long music available to them. I would highly recommend him to others. He was an asset to my party. -- Nancy D, Warren, NJ, 12/10/2011
- Tom knew exactly the type of music which would be appropriate for our event and several guests remarked on how good he is. Thank you Tom for coming out at such short notice. We'll definitely be booking him again. -- Sarah S, Clinton, NJ, 11/30/2011
- Tom was a consummate professional. He arrived early and was ready to go. There were no mechanical problems, no issues, nothing negative. He played beautifully, always augmenting and never overshadowing the party. Tom also has a nice repertoire which is varied and offers something for everyone. I would not hesitate to have Tom at our next party. He's also a very nice guy. Thanks, Tom for making our party special. Hope to see you at the country club one day soon. -- Tim S, Greenwich, CT, 11/19/2011
