• Bruce is one of the musicians that has come to perform for us during the month of January when we are putting away 23 Christmas Trees and have extra on-floor entertainment for our Residents. Everyone LOVED him! In fact, when he went downstairs to play on 1st floor, a number of our clients from 2nd followed him down to listen to the concert again. They can't wait until he comes back, and we promise that will be soon! -- Carol T, Lakeville, MA, 1/4/2012
• Bruce was professional from start to finish. He made a point of determining song preferences ahead of time. He started early without being asked when the guests arrived early. Bruce took requests and was pleasant to work with. I would definitely hire Bruce again and would definitely recommend him. -- Kim D, Johnston, RI, 12/23/2011
• Bruce was amazing! He was detailed and professional. He was accomodating to our song choices, was timely, and played beautifully at our wedding reception. The dialog that we had prior to the ceremony was great so that there were no questions or last minute details that needed to be done which made it even more relaxing and enjoyable. I would recommend Bruce to anyone needing musical entertainment at their event. If we have another gala requiring live music I will not hesitate to contact Bruce. He played the entire time and the music complemeted our celebration, all guests had nothing but wonderful things to say. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bruce. -- Jami B, Cohasset, MA, 11/20/2011
• Prior to the engagement Bruce responded promptly to my questions. He spoke personally to me regarding the music to be played. The night of our party Bruce did a wonderful job providing just the right atmosphere. My guests were delighted. -- Martha G, Marblehead, MA, 12/2/2011

• Bruce played for an mid-day employee luncheon at our facility. He was able to accomodate us with a pleasant performance with just over a weeks notice from us. We hope to have Bruce back again and were pleased with his services and professionalism! Thank you, Bruce!! -- Christina J, Hingham, MA, 9/27/2011
• Bruce is a true professional and very easy to work with. He is a very talented piano player, who added a nice touch to my son's Rehearsal Dinner Party. I got many compliments about the nice music that he played, and would definitely hire him again. -- Barbara G, Wellesley, MA, 8/5/2011
• Bruce did a wonderful job performing for our dinner party. Not only was he in touch prior to the event to confirm the music selection, Bruce also arrived 30 minutes prior to the time the party began to set up. During the party Bruce played selections from Gershwin, Porter, and other timeless favorites. The piano music filled the room, but was modulated superbly so as not to over power the conversation during cocktails. Bruce is a true professional, and was a delightful addition to ouor party. We look forward to having Bruce return for our next event. -- Daniel F, Newton, MA, 5/14/2011
• Mr. Lewis was a great fit for our event. Our guests complimentsed his song selections and music. -- Kelly C, Worcester, MA, 5/20/2011
• Bruce was absolutely outstanding to work with in every regard for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Not only is he a truly talented musician, he was prompt and overly accommodating while working with my parents who both sang pieces during the ceremony. We asked him to learn a new piece as well, which he did wonderfully and without any reservations whatsoever. He was also very quick to respond to emails and was tremendously polite and easy going. We really could not have been any happier with the services he provided. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a keyboardist to play during a wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and/or reception. -- Jocelyne D, Narragansett, RI, 4/9/2011
• I would like to say, on behalf of my new wife and of myself, that Bruce was wonderful to work with ahead of time, that he did a splendid job when he was there, and that he was just what we wanted. It is hard to overemphasize the importance of music at a wedding -- especially our own wedding, where we felt responsible for everything. Bruce came highly recommended and he more than lived up to those recommendations. Thanks to Bruce! Alyce and Gregory Crane -- Gregory C, Cambridge, MA, 4/16/2011
• Bruce was very professional and a fantastic addition to our wedding. Would highly recommend him. The musicwas exaactly what we were hoping for, and everyone was impressed by his abilities. -- Jamie G, Providence, RI, 1/15/2011
• Overall, it was a very positive experience and would hire Bruce again in a heartbeat! -- Ann B, Wellesley, MA, 12/17/2010
• Bruce exceeded all expectations! I would definitely have him back for another event. He knew exactly what to do and required very little direction on my part, if any at all. That was great for me as guests arrived right on time and I was consumed with being a host. It was so nice to have the house filled with wonderful music and to see so many guests enjoying Bruce's talent. He expertly and graciously accommodated their requests. Thanks again Bruce for your help with making this party a huge success. -- Mark P, Winchendon, MA, 12/19/2010
• Bruce was fantastic! We were so glad that we decided to hire him for our wedding. It was really a nice touch and the guests really enjoyed it. -- Stephanie F, Wrentham, MA, 10/22/2010
• We made a last minute (1 week before event) to get a piano player for background music at a post wedding brunch (a "hangover soother", if you will, and a proper send-off to our out-of-town guests) the morning after our son's wedding. Found Bruce on gigmasters and made a plan. We asked for jazz mixed with Elton, Billy, as well as more current music. We were all very pleased with both the level of Bruce's talent and his mix of artists. We even heard some Lady Gaga! Live music gave our party just the added something that is hard to describe. Bruce Lewis was professional, talented, and accommodating. We would definitely hire him again when the need arises. -- Jason G, Cambridge, MA, 11/14/2010
• Bruce was kind, professional, and an outstanding piano player! He was easy to communicate with via email and stayed in touch as the wedding day approached. -- John M, Boston, MA, 6/12/2010
• We were extremely pleased with Bruce's performance and recommend him highly for any event. He communicated with us frequently as we got closer to our event and was very open minded to both choice of music and time to perform. Bruce is an incredibly talented pianist. Karen & Mark N. Newton, MA -- Mark N, West Newton, MA, 6/12/2010
• Bruce was a fantastic addition to our event and managed to create exactly the atmosphere that we originally intended and discussed with him beforehand. Many of our guests took time to comment on how much they enjoyed his music. We will have absolutely no hesitation in calling upon Bruce again or in recommending him to others. -- Gavin H, Barrington, RI, 5/15/2010
• Working with Bruce was a pure joy. He was extremely accomodating from the outset. We mentioned that we had a younger crowd at our wedding and would like to hear some more modern tunes and he obliged with no questions asked. During our cocktail hour, our guests were able to enjoy songs by Coldplay, in addition to some other classics. On several occassions, we were asked "who was that piano player, he was excellent?" Bruce was so good, that our cousin actually booked him for her wedding, which is coming up in October 2010. Overall, our experience couldn't have been better. -- Robert M, Cambridge, MA, 4/17/2010
• Bruce was fantastic! He played exactly what we wanted to hear and even stayed longer than he he was expected to. He was perfect! Would hire him again! -- Elena B, Canton, MA, 3/20/2010
• Bruce was amazing. We had a Valentine's party where guests dressed up as famous movie star couples, and he provided theme music for movies from the 40's to the present, with beautiful jazz standards in between. He and I spent time before the party talking through the selections, which he did willingly, and he came up with very creative ideas and followed through marvelously. He was extremely versatile and talented, and all of the guests enjoyed his playing immensely. -- Kathryn D, Newton, MA, 2/6/2010
• Bruce Lewis was just fine. He was on time, played many different songs some of which were special requests, accompanied singers quite well (with no rehearsal!). He was diligent and accomodative, and professional in every way. -- John S, Cotuit, MA, 11/27/2010
• we had a wonderful time. even had him stay a half hour later -- Stacey B, Exeter, RI, 12/5/2009
• Bruce arrived on time and stayed longer when asked. He was great and had everyone up and singing. I would definitely use him again. -- Patty D, Millbury, MA, 12/24/2009
• We hired Bruce to play the piano for our cocktail hour at our 10.17.09 wedding & couldnt be any happier! Although we didnt get to enjoy our cocktail hour I did have the pleasure of meeting Bruce shortly before I walked down the aisle - he was very friendly & dressed professionally. All of our guests said he did a wonderful job!I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a pianist! Thanks Bruce! -- Rachael D, Cranston, RI, 10/17/2009
• I cannot express my happiness in his professionalism and performance. I would always recommend him to a friend. His choice of music was great and 5 is too low I give him a 10 in the overall satisfaction. I offered him a meal during a break time and he is very very gracious person. -- Susan V, Quincy, MA, 9/13/2008
• Bruce was a pleasure as a professional and as a person: cordial, prompt, attentive to any detail requested...a wonderful experience: made the evening very special for our children's Engagement Party. Would use and recommend him at any time....Marcia Dreyfus -- Marcia D, Canton, MA, 6/14/2008
• I would hire Bruce again in a second and recommend him to a friend. He called me to confirm the occasion, type of music and number of people. My guests were extremely impressed with his talent and the fact that while he was an extremely important part of the party, the music did not overtake the party. I believe this is a very difficult balance to achieve and Bruce achieved it perfectly. -- Karen G, Andover, MA, 9/29/2007
• Superlative performance! -- Rob P, Weston, MA, 11/11/2006
• Bruce was extremely professional and played a wonderful mix of songs during our cocktail hour. -- Lauren D, Boston, MA, 7/22/2006
• Bruce's music provided just the right note for our holiday party. He played a terrific mix of holiday, pop and rock classics, along with some show tunes. -- Erin H, Arlington, MA, 12/15/2007
• We found Bruce Lewis easy to work with and very accomodating. He arranged for whatever he needed without causing any inconvenience. his pleasnat manner impressed our guests. Thank you for the recommendation. -- Helen M, Wrentham, MA, 11/26/2006
• Bruce plays the piano beautifully. He made our event a truly magnificent evening for all. -- Domenic S, Stoneham, MA, 12/8/2007
• Bruce did a great job. Showed up early, was well prepared, took fewer breaks than I tried to give him, and accommodated our requests. Recommend! -- Peyton C, Brookline, MA, 12/31/2011
