Jon is much more than just a pianist - he is an entertainer! He's was engaging, took requests and made the evening so very special for me and my wife (we were celebrating our anniversary). We will definitely be booking him again!

Celebration•Reviewed on June 23, 2017•From Chicago, IL

I have already recommended Jon to my friends, he was a hit! We had a small backyard party and he knew how to liven up the crowd. Any song we played he picked up the melody and played along on the saxophone. It made my event so unique! He is a very nice guy who I'd have at my party even if he wasn't the musical guest!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on March 30, 2015•From Chicago, IL

I couldn't have asked for a better performer for our function. He is very talented and professional. He communicated several times with me before the event, took requests, set up an hour before the event and even stayed late to play. He graced us with his voice towards the end of the event. Everyone enjoyed his performance. Thanks Jon!!

Everyone loved his music and he was able to play all requests. I would recommend him and will be asking him to play at our next part.

Event•Reviewed on April 14, 2014•From Bloomingdale, IL

Jon does great if he does not sing when he plays. We had a lot of members go home early due to his singing. He is fine if he plays but he has a chauffer that is a bit distracting at events. And for a place that does not allow women at most of it's events, having a female chauffer is very difficult to work with, especially when it is not mentioned before showing up.

Thank you for posting the review. I went having no information about this event, other than that I should sing and play 1950's and 1960's music. Had the client not asked me to sing in the first place, I would have thought better of it, due to the unexpected background nature of the event. Had the client said that this was a men-only club, I might have made other arrangements for a chauffeur. Thank you for the opportunity for making music for your events and for letting me know I was "a great hit" in your email correspondence. Sincerely, Jon Novi

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 26, 2013•From Chicago, IL

Jon was very accommodating. He returned my email and call promptly and answered all of my questions. The music was perfect for our condo holiday party and he played what I had requested. I hope to have him back next year.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 27, 2013•From Lincolnshire, IL

Jon was VERY customer service focused - learning every song that we wanted to hear if he didn't know it. He showed up early to make sure everything was set up, and was willing to stay two hours longer than planned because everyone was enjoying the music so much. He is very focused on making sure that everyone is happy and enjoying his music.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on October 14, 2013•From Orland Park, IL

Jon responded quickly to a "last minute" request. Demonstrated excellent communication standards prior to the event, arrived promptly at the appointed hour, collaborated excellently with other event participants and finally used his musical gifts to fulfill his portion of our program. Highly recommend.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 17, 2013•From Wheeling, IL

He was on time and was very pleasant and very accommodating. The music he played for us was just what we asked for -- quiet classical background music. I would definitely call on him again and would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends. Thank you Gigmasters for putting me in touch with him.

Private Party•Reviewed on August 28, 2013•From Glen Ellyn, IL

Jon went over & above the norm in providing me with the American Folk Song Sing-A-Long we had planned. He promptly responded to my concerns and requests beforehand & during. He rewrote music in keys for all to sing (more than 40 tunes) & followed my instructions with our song book very well, even though these heritage tunes were not his normal forte. His background music, transitional tunes and dance music were smooth and dancing to them was a joy. He played for an additional 30 minutes at no charge when we started his part of the program a bit late. He was cheerful, wonderful to work with & joy to have on my side! Friends said--can we do this again? We will.
