DESCRIPTION:
New Jersey pianist Arnie Abrams will add sparkle to your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, engagement party, or most any event, with his expressive and energetic piano entertainment. As one of New Jersey's finest cocktail pianists serving the New Jersey, Philadelphia and metro New York areas, Arnie performs live piano music for corporate events, receptions, dinners, holiday parties and special occasions. He has a wonderfully varied repertoire of music for all occasions that makes him easily adaptable to most any event. Arnie also has a talent for mingling with your guests to involve them, and designing his music selections to capture the theme and mood of your special event. Whether in a garden setting or in the grandest of churches, Arnie will perform the perfect wedding music to set the mood and ceremony music that you desire. Engagement parties, bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, champagne brunches and cocktail or dinner receptions are his specialties. Free consultation is always available for personalizing your ceremony or function. Arnie can provide his professional portable piano and sound system for small, intimate gatherings, or larger venues. He also works with some of the most talented female & male vocalists who specialize in songs from Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, & those great performers & song writers of the 40's, 50's & 60's, to Linda Ronstadt, Elton John, Billy Joel, and the British Invasion rock 'n roll era. Arnie performs many of the most popular tunes of the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's & 70's, 80's, 90's, and current ones, including those of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand, Nat King Cole, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Big Band tunes, as well as more contemporary artists like Michael Feinstein, Harry Connick, Jr., Billy Joel (I played in a Billy Joel cover band), Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, Daniel Powter, Josh Groban, Anna Nalick, and much, much more. I also perform many Broadway show tunes, including those of Phantom, Cabaret, and many of the classic show tunes of the 40's, 50's & 60's, like those from the My Fair Lady, Camelot, Fiddler on the Roof, Paint Your Wagon, West Side Story, Oklahoma, South Pacific, The King & I, and The Sound of Music era. Arnie can also learn songs if you have special ones in mind for your event. If you or your guests would like to request music, that's also fantastic, since he really enjoys playing requests. His website has a short list of about 100+ popular songs that people frequently request from me, but Arnie knows 500-600 songs by memory.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Arnie met with us prior to our event to "audition" and demonstrate his abilities. On the day of the event, Arnie arrived early and ran through a few numbers before guests arrived. During our party, Arnie performed exceptionally well and handled requests beautifully. Arnie circulated among the guests to encourage participation. He stayed a little late and played for a few guests who had special requests, since the party was still going on. As a musical performer myself, I can honestly say that we would definitely hire him again.

Arnie was prompt and was already set up before any of the guests arrived. He was very reponsive to the group, displayed a great deal of professionalism in his demeanor, and was the perfect entertainer for the occasion. His sets were longer than we expected, was very engaging with the group, and contributed to the success of the evening. We all were very satisfied.

Arnie was professional and willing to accommodate all of our needs. He even went out of his way for some special requests. For our corporate event we needed someone who didn't mind being a "side dish" to the event and would be motivating and high energy. Not only was he but he added the music to the event that got people up on their feet and singing!
Do not hesitate to have Arnie Abrams at one of your events. We will be using him again and again.
