Private Party•Reviewed on January 10, 2024•From Pittsburgh, PA

Ron came to our home on December 26th for a family holiday party. Ron played Christmas standards as well as requests. Everyone had a great time singing along to holiday favorites and dancing as well! I won’t hesitate to hire him again! Jeanette T

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on July 8, 2023•From Pittsburgh, PA

If I could give Ron a 5000/5 stars - I WOULD! He performed for our small 10-person wedding reception during dinner and made everyone so relaxed and comfortable. He displayed incredible professionalism from start to finish by calling me personally and keeping me updated during the whole process. Ron is both a great performer but also a great person. I would HIGHLY recommend him to any event and to any person. If you are looking for the best pianist in Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania - he is your guy!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 5, 2022•From Pittsburgh, PA

Though I did not get to personally speak to Ron, my mother and sister did. He played some wonderful music that was not too loud and fit well with the setting. His music was perfect for filling in any empty space during dinner time and cocktail hour. Would definitely recommend Ron to my friends and family!

Ron made our cocktail hour SO BEAUTIFUL! We received so many compliments about how beautiful he played and how amazing it was to have a live pianist there to play during cocktail hour. If you're thinking about it, book him! He was timely, responsive, and a genuine pleasure to have as part of our day. You will not regret it!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on November 1, 2016•From Silver Lake, OH

The music Ron provided (Broadway show tunes and the Great American Songbook) was great and set the elegant yet comfortable tone I was looking for at my son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner at the country club. Ron even learned a new song so that the bride and groom could enjoy the music that was playing on their first date. In addition, he was very accommodating to the guests by playing requests. Beyond the great music, he was very attentive about checking back with me concerning the arrangements so that there would be no last minute worries. I would hire Ron again in a minute. His musicianship and professionalism were perfect!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on December 27, 2014•From Pittsburgh, PA

Ron was extremely profession in that he maintained constant contact through out our wedding planning and he gave great suggestions in selecting songs for our ceremony. Ron was unfamiliar with a few of our song choices but he played them all perfectly and just as we had imagined them! At our reception our guests commented on how beautiful the music was at the ceremony and that they all really enjoyed it. Thank you Ron for making our day truly special!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 17, 2013•From Pittsburgh, PA

Ron was great. I live in DC but got married in Pittsburgh, so we spoke on the phone several times (as opposed to meeting in person) leading up to the wedding. I had specific requests including asking him to flow from one song to the next during the processional and he did it beautifully. Many guests commented on how lovely it was. Very very pleased with Ron's contribution to my wedding ceremony!

High School Reunion•Reviewed on October 13, 2013•From Youngstown, OH

Ron was a pleasure to work with. He had a clear understanding of what we wanted, and he provided that. He provided an ambience to our event that was beautifully understated. He was there with his music but not intrusive. He understood our evening together was about us and not about him. Excellent musician. Excellent individual. I hope the opportunity arises to use his services again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 8, 2011•From Pittsburgh, PA

My father was very happy with Mr. Bickel's piano playing. It gave him the birthday party he wanted. I would recommend him for any party or reception that needs a piano or keyboard player. Thank you very much.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on October 11, 2011•From Canonsburg, PA

Ron was a delight to work with from the very first conversation! He was very prompt in contacting us initially and made sure that we were kept informed all along the planning process as well as calling with a last minute reminder a few days before my daughter's wedding. He arrived ahead of time for the event - which was miraculous considering the extreme traffic delays because of the lovely road construction going on that weekend! He set up quickly and was playing before we had a chance to blink! We received many compliments on the talent and class Ron exhibited during his performance at our cocktail hour. We thank Ron and would definitely reccomend him to anyone!
