Feedback

  • Absolutely fabulous, marvelous. Would definitely recommend her for any size event and hope to be able to use her again in the future. -- Sherry G, Saint Paul, MN, 10/18/2008
  • Sharon did a very good job at this retirement party attended by almost 200 people. She was very professional and was very easy and polite to work with. She made extra careful efforts to ensure that the sound was good and effective and that she fit it just right with the locaton and event. Her booking was easy and she was very responsive to any questions or requests. I felt she represented real good value and I would definitely use her again. -- Neil S, Minneapolis, MN, 9/11/2008
  • Sharon was a lovely and talented performer who picked up the mood of our special birthday luncheon and gave it her all! The guest of honor was thrilled and many in attendance commented on the magic that Sharon's music brought to the day. It was perfect and much appreciated! Vicki Bacal -- Vicki B, Minneapolis, MN, 8/13/2008
  • Sharon went above and beyond to make sure her performance was exceptional. She offered to bring her electronic piano when she was concerned that an acoustic piano would be difficult to hear, and checked with our venue on her own to make sure they had a sound system. After playing for a few minutes, she recorded herself and walked throughout the room to make sure she was not playing over people's conversations. She stayed late to play until all the guests left. Sharon is a delight to work with and I would recommend her wholeheartedly! -- Krista J, Plymouth, MN, 6/29/2008
  • Sharon Planer truly made our wedding reception a wonderful event. She played so beautifully and her song choices were so perfect - exactly what we had asked for, but really so much more than we ever expected. Sharon is such a nice person and was so great about keeping in touch with us before the reception and always answered our e-mails promptly. Her musicical talent is truly inspiring and our guests just loved her! She was a perfect addition to our special day, and we're so happy Sharon was able to share it with us. Laura and Charlie Maternus -- Laura G, Collegeville, MN, 6/27/2008
  • Sharon was fabulous. She plays the piano beautifully. I didn't have to worry about a thing- she contacted the vocalists, the band, the officiant etc & worked out all the details with them! I would hire Sharon again & I would recommend that my friends & family use her for their upcoming events. -- Angela K, Saint Paul, MN, 12/31/2007
  • Sharon Planer is absolutely wonderful - a very talented, professional, detail-orientated pianist that added so much to our wedding event with her piano playing. She was incredibly accommodating and flexible to our requests by learning new songs which meant a great deal to us. She was also very organized and communicated with me before the event numerous times to ensure all details were covered (this was especially important as my event was outdoors). Without hesitation we recommend Sharon Planer to anyone looking to add some elegant polish, or just plain FUN, to any event. Sharon, thank you for sharing your talents and friendship! --Mary & Ken -- Mary D, Minneapolis, MN, 5/5/2007
  • Sharon was wonderful! We asked Sharon to arrive at the party after many of the guests had arrived. She was great! She came right in, set up, and provided a wonderful atmosphere at my wedding reception. I did not have to worry about her performance the entire evening, it was beautiful. She played wonderful music that young and old could appreciate. She even inspired several of my guests to get up and dance. I would recommend her for any event. -- Erin M, Woodbury, MN, 2/16/2007
  • Hiring Sharon was one of the best decisions that we made in regards to our event. She was prepared, organized, and professional. Her music was beautiful and we are still receiving comments regarding it several weeks after. She was so easy to work with and more than willing to assist us in anything that we needed. I have already given her name to other departments on campus, and we hope to hire her again ourselves. -- Kristin F, Saint Paul, MN, 9/20/2006
  • Sharon’s performance was perfect! She arrived with plenty of time to set-up. She was extremely accommodating with special song requests and created a wonderful, unobtrusive atmosphere. I couldn’t have asked for more! -- Richard C, Bloomington, MN, 8/27/2006
