Wedding•Reviewed on October 3, 2016•From South Londonderry, VT
We hired Ken to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour during our wedding at the Stratton Mountain Resort on 10/1/16. Throughout the booking process, Ken was professional, prompt, and pleasant to work with. We requested a few songs be played during key parts of the ceremony, and he was accommodating and reassured us that everything would go smoothly and sound wonderful. On the wedding day, Ken's playing during the ceremony added the perfect ambiance. His timing was impeccable and he is truly, truly talented. Our guests loved the live music during the cocktail hour as well. Ken played the grand piano at the venue like a master and looked great doing it. Amazing job!!

People who attended our event have shared with me how much they enjoyed hearing Ken Watson on the piano. People who were unable to attend, have let me know that they heard that our event was a good time and that there was a wonderful pianist performing that night. Ken Watson can read a room and his selections created and reflected a perfect mood for the evening. What a talent!

I hired Ken to play at my wedding in Wellfleet on June 18th and it was one of the best decisions I made! He was super kind, accommodating, and immediately responded to all emails. Not only was he an incredible talent but such a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend!!! All my guests were raving about him!
Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 20, 2015•From Harwich, MA
Ken was the ultimate professional and my wife and I along with our 50 guests were bedazzled by his talent. He arrived early, familiarized himself with our Baby Grand and began to play. I had to needle him to take a break. It was 5 hours of pure heaven. Thanks Ken for making our Christmas Party an evening to remember.

Ken was wonderful in meeting my needs for our party, so much so, in fact, that my family and I all feel we have not just found a real pro, but also, now, a real friend. He feels a part of the family and we hope to work with him again soon - Thank you, Ken, for all that you do.
Anniversary Party•Reviewed on May 20, 2015•From Salem, MA
Ken was a wonderful performer at the 50th anniversary brunch for my parents! Several of the guests went out of their way to tell me how much they enjoyed his playing. He performed pieces from the American songbook, Broadway showtunes and other classics, all from memory. He played for the entire timeframe (1-4 pm) and only took one break, when we did the toast. He was content to drink his water, until my Mom finally coaxed him into having a piece of cake. He was totally professional, arrived early and went right to work. Very talented and enjoyable performer. Really made a difference in how well the party turned out.
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 14, 2016•From Boston, MA
Ken was great to work with. He easily communicates by email. I feel bad that in the blur of a wedding I didn't get to chat with him, but I did enjoy his perfect, slightly old-fashioned (per our request) piano music for our antique library wedding.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on January 19, 2016•From Lincoln, MA
The performer played beautifully with minimal instruction from event planning staff. The music was appropriate and lovely, his dress and demeanor were very professional. He was worth every penny of his booking fee. Highly recommend for the next event you are planning and want to bring some class and elegance to.
Private Party•Reviewed on December 23, 2013•From Topsfield, MA
Ken has played for us at two house parties and two weddings in the past five years. On one occasion, he traveled 650 miles just to play for the evening! Ken is elegance and grace personified. He takes your occasion to another level. His repertoire is very broad. He will accommodate any taste. Our guests have universally complimented his work. When he can't be with us in person, we enjoy him on our i-pod. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
Wedding•Reviewed on October 22, 2014•From Exeter, NH
Ken was just WONDERFUL! He was in touch with me from the time I selected him to play at the wedding to the day of our wedding. He provided an additional CD of his music, answered questions, gave some suggestions, and worked with 2 singers. We loved having him as did our guests. I received many compliments on his playing. Ken is very talented, flexible and professional. I highly recommend him! I am so very glad that I found GigMasters and found Ken on the site. I appreciated him having many songs already on the site so that I could really hear him before I made the decision. Thank you, and a HUGE thanks to Ken Watson!!
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 22, 2014•From Derry, NH
Ken played for my daughter's wedding. The processional, wedding march, and recessional. Everything we requested was perfection!
Ken was also engaged to play outdoors for the cocktail hour. Unfortunately, many of our guests stayed inside and missed out on how talented he is. He played everything we requested and sounded amazing! I would love to hear him play again. Thank you for making this so special!!
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 17, 2013•From Mattapoisett, MA
I feel so lucky to have had Ken play at my wedding reception. He was amazing. Everyone enjoyed his music so much, guests ranging in age from 2 to 85 years old. His talent, class, and professionalism exceeded all of my expectations. I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend this wonderful musician.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 18, 2013•From Cohasset, MA
It was an absolute pleasure to have Ken perform for us for a small family birthday party. We had requested he play a few special songs, which he did at the perfect moments. He is an elegant and charming performer, but he was also fun and spontaneous enough to accompany four children singing and dancing to a special song they wanted to perform! Despite a snow storm, Ken arrived at our home on time, cheerful and ready to play. He was so accommodating of our every request - including playing at two different houses (both on the same street), so my sister and I could co-host the party! I would hire Ken again. His music truly made the party an unforgettable evening!

We could not have asked for a better experience with Ken. We received so many compliments on his performance. He's talented, gracious, polished--a perfect combination of professionalism.
