Boris is an incredibly talented musician, and the acoustic piano he played for our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. We received so many compliments on the music from our guests — it set the perfect tone for the entire ceremony.
We could not have been happier having Boris as our pianist on our wedding day. 10/10 recommend to anyone in the Chicagoland area and beyond!

I am thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for the remarkable talents of Boris, who graced our special day with a fantastic musical performance.
With less than a month before...
the wedding, we had a particular selection of songs in mind that traditionally trained pianists do not commonly play. Boris assured us he could learn and perform these pieces despite the tight timeframe. When the big day finally arrived, we were utterly blown away by his performance. The music resonated with our hearts, creating an atmosphere we only imagined.
Boris' ability to learn and infuse the music with such emotion and passion was awe-inspiring. He also worked with our officiant on music queues and coordination with our day of, underscoring his professionalism. They brought our chosen songs to life in a way that surpassed our and our guests' wildest expectations.
If you're searching for a wedding pianist who goes above and beyond to make your day exceptional, then Boris is the one to choose. His ability to learn and perform our selected music in such a short time frame is a testament to their dedication and talent. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect addition to our wedding. Thank you, Boris, for making our day even more magical.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Boris as a pianist for
your event!!!
We hired Boris to play at our outdoor
wedding in September 2023.
Boris is not only an incredibly talented
musician, but he i...
s also very professional,
reasonably priced, and accommodating.
Boris was responsive from the start,
offering an extensive & and versatile song
list of classic and modern music. Although
he offered to learn new songs for our
wedding, his repertoire was so extensive
that we didn't find the need!
At my request, he sent a video of him playing the song lyrics planned to walk down the aisle to, showcasing his willingness to ensure our day was perfect.
His performance made our ceremony even
more perfect -- adding elegance and
romantic ambiance.
Boris, thank you for making our Wedding
Day even more perfect!

Boris was so awesome to work with!! He
was very timely and was attentive to what l
wanted and requested. The weather was a
bit of a challenge, however he still made it
work for me ...

We got married December 16, 2023. We hired Boris to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. We were looking for someone ...
who was knowledgeable on playing rock covers and he was able to learn the songs that we wanted. They sounded amazing. I am so impressed by his professionalism and skill. I highly recommend Boris. Truly an amazing pianist.
