• Vince was a great part of our wedding day. I am a musician and had always imagined having a jazz pianist for my wedding. Vince's work was musically impressive and tasteful. He accompanied three different singers for the ceremony and reception and worked very smoothly with all of them. For the reception, instead of telling him exactly what to play, I simply asked Vince to play some great standards and love songs. He selected just the right tunes to play for each aspect of the wedding. Vince was willing to travel out-of-state for our event and was also very reasonable in terms of compensation for his services. -- Jameson S, Phoenix, AZ, 1/3/2009

• It's so rare these days, to find people who do what they love. Vince is one of those rare people. I had the honor of having Vince play during my wedding ceremony. You know us brides, everything has to be just as we imagined and every detail must be thought out. Vince was wonderful and his performance was better than I could ever have hoped for. Vince is very professional, he always returned my calls promptly, he had a smile in his voice each time we spoke and most importantly, he made me feel as though he too was looking to my big day.

• Vince, I have received so many compliments already on the music that you played for our wedding, before and during/after the event! People enjoyed your music and the piano sound and volume. It was great to have you there and from what I heard up in the room and on the floor, you sounded wonderful as well. The entire event ended up being a great night and you played a huge part in the success. Thank you! We also loved the touch of our special request song for the lighting of the unity candle as well :) Christina and Dave - September 3, 2006 -- Christina C, Garden Grove, CA, 9/3/2006
• He did a wonderful job for us. He arrived early to get set up, was well dressed and friendly, played the type of music we requested and was generally all that I could have hoped for. -- Robert U, Laguna Woods (92653, CA, 8/6/2006
• Vince did a fantastic job for our wedding ceremony and reception. Our minister was late, but Vince seemlessly coordinated with him literally 2 minutes before the wedding ceremony to have all of the music in sync. He was really flexible in the planning for the event, he even played for us prior to the event in his own home to help us determine what selection of music we would like. Vince knows an incredible amount of music ... jazz, broadway, modern, classical, more. He is great with guests, very friendly and professional. He is great at taking requests even during the event, yet his performance is not overbearing or distracting in any way. I can't say enough good things about Vince, if you want things to go smoothly for your event then you want this guy. He is even reasonably priced! Thank you so much Vince, and I'm sorry I'm doing this review a little (a lot) late. Best wishes, Robert and Cat -- Robert B, Newport Beach, CA, 6/18/2006
• From the time I placed a request, Vince was superb in every way. I was a bit worried about hiring someone not previously recommended by someone I know, but Vince deserves his 5 star ratings and more! Send him a request, and you will know what I mean. -- Alvina R, Westminster, CA, 6/2/2006
• Vince was a great piano player and a friendly guy. We were totally satisfied!!! -- Monica R, Whittier, CA, 5/13/2006
• Vince was great. I was late arriving to our house for the party but he had already set up and was ready to go. I appreciate his professionalism. -- Paula C, Pasadena, CA, 4/29/2006
• Pianist On Call accompanied me at a wedding for a dear friend of mine. His professionalism was of the highest caliper; he is incredibly talented; and was dependable through out the entire process. He went above and beyond by providing equipment that we did not have, coming from out of town, and he made sure that we had the oppotunity to rehearse in advance of the wedding. I highly recommend Pianist On Call, and will use him again myself the next time I am in the area and require an accompanist. -- Rebbecca V, Pasadena, CA, 3/12/2006
• We originally had scheduled another piano player for our corporate function; however, he refused to play tv show "cop" themes. We contacted your company at short notice and selected Mr. Torbey who was very accommodating about our request even though it was short notice. He not only arrived early and was dressed appropriately for the occasion, he showed me a list of theme songs. -- Georgette B, Los Angeles, CA, 2/2/2006
• Vince was awesome. He was early to practice and to the ceremony. He had a very positive attitude and was friendly with us and our guests. He worked with us on our selections and played a flawless ceremony, meeting and exceeding our expectations. We had no worries with him as our musician. He even played a few jazz requests for my pastor and me after the practice. I wish I could hear more. Everyone loved his music! We would hire him again in a heartbeat. -- Brian C, Torrance, CA, 12/30/2005
• Very skilled and delivered what he said he would. Would definitely use again. -- Duncan M, Yorba Linda, CA, 12/20/2005

• I would like to compliment the pianist I hired through your company for my wedding day. He was very professional and my husband and I received a lot of compliments in regards to his talent. -- Karen C, Burbank, CA, 11/6/2005
• Vince was absolutely incredible. His playing was exquisite and made our wedding ceremony beyond all expectations. His talent is unparalleled and he is the most professional musician that I have ever encountered (which is saying a lot, considering that we have hired several musicians every couple of months for the last 15 years). He is very easy to work with, kind and considerate, highly skilled, and extremely accomodating. His passion for his music shines in every keystroke. We plan on hiring Vince again and again for every event in the future that we have that requires a top-notch pianist. This is truly a remarkable musician. -- Kelly H, Los Angeles, CA, 10/15/2005
• I can't begin to thank Vince enough for all that he did for the wedding. His music added the "something missing" to the evening that I didn't know was missing until he started playing. He is so friendly and has such a warm smile. If we ever need a pianist in the future, he is #1 on our list. If anyone we know needs a pianist, he's the ONLY one I'd refer. Can't wait to work with him again! -- Joey O, Pasadena, CA, 9/3/2005
• Vince was great. Very helpful and accommodating. The music was flawless! -- Jennifer M, Corona Del Mar, CA, 7/31/2005
• I can't say enough good things about Vince. Witht the hectic pace of planning and executing a wedding, Vince was the one thing I didn't worry about. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we were in contact. He showed up early to set up his equipment. He talked with the minister about what and when he should play during the ceremony. After the ceremony, he played for 2 hours. I told him to pay what he wished, as i did not want to micromanage and had lots more to do. I received several comments from my guests about how nice it was to have live music. I definitely would hire him again. -- Richard W, Temple City, CA, 5/28/2005
• Vince was absolutely awesome. He made the night an amazing success. He was dynamic, fun and engaging for our guests. We will definately utilize his talents in the future. -- Robert T, Burbank, CA, 5/6/2005

• We were 100% satisfied with Vince. He looked very professional. I loved the way he fit the music to what was going on at the time. We would definately use him again and recommend him to a friend. Thank you so much. -- Sarah C, Ventura, CA, 3/12/2005
• Truly professional talent who met every need of the party. The sound of Vince's music was absolutely perfect, and his timing was flawless when guests rose to speak.

I can't say enough about how happy we were with Vince. Regards, Donna Frederickson -- Donna F, Lancaster, CA, 2/26/2005

• I thought that Vince did a great job at our corporate party. We had asked for more of a background music so that we could still engage in conversation with our customers and prospects, and the music volume was perfect. I would definitely recommend Vince to others. -- Tracey B, Las Vegas, NV, 4/5/2006
• He arrived on time or early. He was receptive to all requests. He was friendly. Overall our experience was outstanding... We would love to have him hear again at future events. We have recommended your to others because of his professionalism. -- Joshua H, Los Angeles, CA, 2/26/2005
