• Valerie performed for a private event (fundraiser) for our group. She was terrific. It was a Valentine's event, and she did an entire repertoire around love songs, etc. It was upbeat and beautiful. Everyone had a great time. She is a very talented pianist and made our event special. -- Melene H, Fayetteville, NC, 2/14/2012
• What a beautiful ambiance was created at our daughter's wedding reception by harpist Valerie Stancik and the accompianing flutist! We heard many compliments from our guests, some of whom are professional musicians themselves. -- Missy Q, Pinehurst, NC, 4/28/2012
• Very nice, very professional, and very talented! I had a special request song (the beauty and the beast song) for my carriage ride entrance during the ceremony, I was worried she wasnt going to be able to play it, but she did! Very accommodating. That single detail, made my ceremony 10 times more special! Her harp plus the flute was everything I had dreamed of and wanted for my wedding! Perfect music for my perfect wedding! -- Jessica H, Raleigh, NC, 5/12/2012
