Jim was wonderful to work with and he did a fantastic job at my husband's surprise birthday party. I received many compliments on the entertainment from the guests at the party. Jim helped to make the party a very special event.

Jim was wonderful! He was gracious in accommodating time changes we needed to make, he researched a few lesser known songs that we wanted, and he is personable. His music is great and he's a genuinely nice guy. Jim Laurie is a top-notch professional! We'll call him again!

Jim was a great addition to our party, he was funny and very professional. He played a variety of music and really knows how to get the guests into the swing! I would hire Jim again and would certainly recommend him to others!

Jim was wonderful! He made our parents 50th anniversary party an EXTRA SPECIAL celebration. Received MANY compliments on Jim. He had a lot of request from his extensive song list, which he provided. Requests were made from those as young as a 3 year old (ABC's...songs from Annie, Barnie, etc.) to the 78 year old guests of honor. We would definitely recommend Jim to anyone looking for a talented, fun, professional piano player. We even had our youngest nephew, 20 months old accompany Jim with 'Great Balls of Fire'. It was nice to see Jim include the young children in the celebration. Everyone had a blast!!

Jim was very good. It was my husband's 60th birthday and we had about 11 children there. He played songs for them and they sang. I had made some requests beforehand and he played them all. My brother in law thought he sounded like Harry Connick Jr. My sister-in-law and cousin, who go to high end parties regularly, thought he was excellent. Jim is very personable and accomodating. He arrived on time and was in a tux. I believe people at the party asked for his card. I would certainly recommend him.

Jim was such a welcome addition to our wedding. He was accommodating, prompt, friendly, talented, and flexible -- a true professional. As a busy bride, I really appreciated how quickly he responded to my emails and addressed my requests. I had a million things on my mind, but I knew I never had to worry about the entertainment. By the end of the night, Jim had several of our guests singing around the piano, many of whom are professional musicians themselves. They let me know that they thought Jim had "real chops." High praise, indeed! It was a wonderful night, and Jim was a huge part of making it happen and keeping our guests happy. I would recommend him 100% without reservation.
