• 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
• 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
