• Carmen was awesome! She learned how to play a few songs that I requested! As busy as I was trying to put everything together, not to mention the strange hours I keep, she accomodated me by conversing via email. Carmen arrived early and had everything set up even before I arrived at the venue. She played beautifully, even before her scheduled time. I was very pleased to have made the decison to have her perform on my big day. -- Terry K, Escondido, CA, 4/2/2011
• Carmen was wonderful. She did this last minute and she stepped right in as if it was planned from the get go. Her music was exactly what we wanted, our guest arrived after the ceremony to our home where they were greeted with Carmen's lovely piano music. Thanks Carmen for making our daughter's special event even more special. Dave and Kelley -- Kelley D, San Diego, CA, 7/31/2009
• Carmen was a great addition to our wedding ceremony. She played the piano beautifully and was able to assist in planning the music for the ceremony. Carmen was friendly, professional, and helpful. She was able to accompany the vocalist, violinist, and guitarist without much rehearsal time. We got so many compliments about the music at our wedding ceremony. It was also helpful that she knew the Catholic Mass. She was able to follow along without needing cues from anyone. I am a musician myself and was very pleased with Carmen. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pianist or organist in the area. -- Tara M, Oceanside, CA, 6/20/2009
