• Tara performed for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and we could not be more pleased. She was very professional, played beautifully and added a nice touch of elegance to our day. Fantastic!!! I would highly recommend Tara. -- Adrienne B, Hampton, NJ, 10/11/2009
• Tara was amazing. She was very professional and very accommodating. Choosing music for my ceremony was the most difficult for me but Tara was quick to make suggestions and she somehow knew what I wanted. Unfortunately it was a chilly day and my guests stayed inside for the cocktail hour. However, I received many compliments on the music that Tara played during the ceremony. Many of my guests wanted to know how I found her. Thanks Tara for playing so beautifully at my wedding and cocktail hour. We truly enjoyed listening to your sound and we would recommend you to anyone who needs your services. Thanks again...Mia & Dave -- Mia G, Richboro, PA, 9/26/2009
• Tara was very professional, arrived promptly and played beautifully. She helped make the event a wonderful party and a tremendous success. Thanks so much!! -- Nicholas C, Philadelphia, PA, 2/23/2008
• Tara was fantastic. She added a wondeful sparkle to our party. She is the consumate professional. Her unassuming nature combined with incredible virtuosity was truly appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a party or gathering. -- Mark G, Hatfield, PA, 1/12/2008
• I am a semi-professional pianist myself, and fully appreciated Tara's beautiful playing. I could not have been happier with Tara's choice of songs, expansion of her repertoire at my request, and most importantly, the way she can make the piano sing. Thank you for helping make my wedding the best day of my life (so far)! -- Carlene O, Philadelphia, PA, 1/12/2008
• Tara was everything I hoped for and more. Everyone loved her. She was more than accomodating to all those present. Hopefully, I'll have her back next year. Again, thank you Tara, for making the festivities much brighter. Kathleen A. Kirby -- Kathleen K, Langhorne, PA, 12/8/2007
• Tara was very flexible with her schedule and is a very talented individual. All of our guests raved over the piano player at our cocktail hour. She is a must hire! -- Kevin D, Radnor, PA, 9/2/2006
• Tara did a great job at our event. We were very pleased with her professionalism and talent. We also needed her to stay some extra time and she was very flexible. She comes highly recommended! -- Jaclyn S, New York, NY, 3/13/2008
• She was the perfect addition to the cocktail hour of my wedding reception. Several guests commented how well she played the piano. She was very open to suggestions, and had a great line of communication. I would hands-down tell anyone and everyone about her for their events! Thanks so much Tara! Truly the best! -- Taryn C, Hackensack, NJ, 2/29/2008
• Tara seemed to instinctively know exactly the kind of music and atmosphere we wanted at our wedding. All afternoon guests told us how much they enjoyed her selections as well as her performance. She rose to the occasion on short notice and was well-prepared and well-rehearsed. Her charming demeanor and pleasant personality enhanced our day. She was engaging, personable and very professional. I can't imagine what the afternoon would have been like without Tara to complete it! I would recommend her to anyone; her range is extensive and performance flawless. Linda Barton Guinn -- Linda B, Staten Island, NY, 9/21/2008
• Tara is a professional musician in every sense of the word. She performed the ceremony and cocktail hour at my wedding yesterday and did a fabulous job. She was very accommodating in regards to requests we had made, and when we were in doubt with what song choices to go with for certain parts of the ceremony she did an amazing job at picking just the right pieces of music to fit the style and atmosphere we were going for. As a DJ and musician myself, and someone who generally values good music moreso than your average person, I would book her again without thinking twice and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a keyboard/piano player for their event/party. -- Michelle S, Red Bank, NJ, 7/20/2008
• Tara was just amazing! She was very professional, on time, and a very talentd piano player. Her knowledge was very broad and could play just about anything. My guest had nothing but compliments all evening! I would definitely hire Tara again for any upcoming events. Thanks Tara for the wonderful performance!!! Sincerely, Jay -- Jay B, Staten Island, NY, 6/28/2008
