Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 9, 2023•From Wilmette, IL
In a word, David is AMAZING! Very responsive and professional. He really made our event extra special by singing and playing all of my parent’s favorite songs for their wedding anniversary reception. He was early, prepared, talented, and just a great guy! I would hire him again in a second and recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment for a special event.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 29, 2018•From Chicago, IL
David was absolutely phenomenal in every way! He is extremely talented and is also a wonderful, warm human being. He was quick to respond as we communicated regarding the details of the event. He arrived early to set up and begin, and he also stayed late. His repertoire is endless, and he completely picked up on what the guests liked and wanted to hear without even being asked. When requests were made, he knew every song and happily played them. David was the highlight of my father in law's 80th birthday party - a consummate professional who really loves what he does. His cost was beyond reasonable - worth much more. Hire him - you will be so glad you did!

David performed for our couples baby shower and we were extremely happy with him. He arrived on time and was the perfect compliment to our event. He played a variety of music and is very talented. We would hire David again in the future.

David was amazing! He is not only a true professional but fun to work with. He kept in contact from the very beginning until the day of our event to make sure all of our requests were met. Definitely a very talented individual and I could not have been happier having him play at our wedding.

Private Party•Reviewed on January 27, 2016•From Chicago, IL
David was amazing in every aspect. David and I spoke numerous times before the event, through email and telephone. He was easily reachable, extremely kind, and very receptive. I was proposing to my fiancé and the evening required quite a few people being part of the secret and a lot of coordinating. Everything was perfect and went as planned. He played absolutely beautifully, took our requests, and made the evening one we will never forget. He even stayed later than asked. We will without a doubt, we will be having David at our next event. Thank you David!

THANK YOU SO MUCH NICK!!! SUCH A GREAT TIME!

David was absolutely wonderful. He played piano and organ. He made our wedding beautiful!! Very friendly and professional. We weren't sure of what songs to play and he had great ideas for us! Hire this pianist, he's excellent!

David arrived at the Newberry Library and was able to use the piano they had provided. The music was for our cocktail hour during our wedding reception. David played beautifully and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a pianist.

David was absolutely wonderful. He arrived in plenty of time to set up and begin on time. He instantly picked up on the tone of the party and we had a great time requesting & singing to the tunes David played. He was able to accommodate our varied and random song requests. It was very impressive! David also provided appropriate and beautiful background music when we moved on from singing. It was a joy having him part of the birthday party!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 7, 2013•From Glen Ellyn, IL
With David Kellen we found someone who went “above and beyond” to be prepared for the evening. He was attentive, kind, easy going, professional and made the experience of hiring from this website a pleasure. Moreover, his library of music brought class to the evening and he even possessed the good nature to provide impromptu background music for sketches during the toast portion of the evening!
As someone who has produced live entertainment and performed 300 concerts a year as the singer of The Glenn Miller Orchestra, I know a good musician when I hear one. David is the complete package... a first-class musician!
