I am so happy we found Diana to play and sing for our wedding. We had a small and intimate ceremony, and we wanted to be able to have someone who could add a special touch. She was so helpful to walk through what songs we wanted, the feel we were going for and answer every question that she had. Hearing her play throughout the ceremony completely fulfilled every dream I had for the moment. She is an amazing artist and I would recommend her 10/10 times.
My (now) wife and I had a very specific vision for our wedding ceremony, and we knew from the start that our pianist would play a crucial role in it. Not only was Diana professional and responsive, she also took on the challenge of learning 13 new pieces at our request with such grace and versatility; She was very adaptable to our specific requests such as music order, timing of cues, and even slight adaptations to the pieces themselves, including tempo adjustments, abridging, adlibing, etc.
My process with Diana was incredibly easy and straightforward: we reached out to her via email, we had a brief video call to share our story & vision for the ceremony, we shared a document with our song list (and sheet music), and then we set up a short in-person session to hear her progress on the music and to discuss the finer details of the ceremony. Diana really understood how important this was to us and took everything to heart.
As a result, we literally had the ceremony of our dreams. Music (especially on the piano) means so much to our family, and I’m so grateful to have found a pianist as talented, professional, and adaptable as Diana. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pianist who will work with them on their vision and ultimately deliver.
Thank you, Diana!
We hired Diana as a wedding pianist and she created an unforgettable atmosphere. Her blend of piano melodies and live singing during the reception allowed for a beautiful ambiance without overwhelming the conversations over dinner. Plus, she sang our first dance song which added an extra touch of magic to the moment. Her responsiveness and delightful demeanor surely made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommended Diana for anyone seeking exceptional live music at their event!
Also, she is one of the few pianist that are approved to play the piano located in the East Room event space of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library.
Real talent here! Diana was extremely easy to work with and would definitely recommend. Her singing and piano skills are top notch. You won’t be disappointed. What a pleasure to work with.
From the moment we contacted her, Diana was a true professional and demonstrated the kind of responsiveness you need from your wedding vendors.
But what we loved most about Diana was her voice and exceptional talent on the piano. She played our chosen songs flawlessly, even though she had to learn them beforehand. She also happily accommodated our request to play the Jeopardy theme song during a special moment in our ceremony, adding a fun and unique touch to our big day.
Diana's music set an incredible mood for our ceremony, giving our guests (and ourselves!) all the feels. Thank you Diana for helping make our wedding ceremony truly special and memorable.
Diana was the pianist/vocalist at our wedding. Not only was she amazing with her performances, she is also such a wonderful person to work with - very kind and extremely professional. Thank you Diana, for making our big day such a special one with your music talents!!!
I knew I wanted live piano and vocals for our wedding ceremony, and Diana came to mind as we are family friends and I have long loved listening to her talented performances! On our wedding day, what made the bridal party entrance especially meaningful was that our song selection (which she worked on with me and my husband) included Taiwanese/Chinese classics like Green Island and Moon Represents My Heart - songs that bear a lot of connection for us and our parents. I absolutely loved walking down the aisle to "I see the light." Many guests complimented us on the piano/vocals. Diana was communicative, professional and adept at working with the venue site's coordinators - highly, highly recommend.
Diana did an amazing job! She was quick to send the contract and was punctual. Her music elevated our ceremony! She sang beautifully!!
Diana is so helpful and sweet. Her piano playing and soft voice made our wedding ceremony feel like a fairytale. We are so glad we got her for our ceremony, she was very understanding and experienced.
With Diana's help, the songs we chose for our intimate backyard wedding ceremony were simply perfect. She helped an overwhelmed bride simplify the task of finding and selecting the appropriate soloist/music professional for our wedding by first providing a song list of songs commonly heard at weddings. She then kept in continual contact with me and responded immediately to any questions I had. Her solo rendition of "Two Words" was beautifully song and and set the right tone for our wedding ceremony. I had full confidence in Diana, knowing her part of our ceremony would be exactly as we had discussed and it was!! I highly recommend Diana. She is a top notch professional; her voice is beautiful and we couldn't have been happier with her role at our ceremony. Jeanne G
Diana’s singing and piano skills are amazing. We had her for our reception which really added a special touch to our wedding day. Thanks so much!!
My wife and I are truly grateful for Diana. She was very accommodating as our original wedding date was postponed due to a pandemic. When I was searching for live musicians, it can be a difficult tasks as there are so many talented artists to choose from. Diana stood out to me as very professional, personable, and most importantly she made me and my wife feel comfortable. This past weekend, May 8, 2021 our wedding took place at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach. Diana and along with our cellist, Connor Bogenreif, whom she recommended exceed our expectations. We had a few special song requests for the wedding party and couldn't be more happy. We also gave her the freedom to play anything she likes throughout our ceremony and loved her song choices. I highly recommend a pianist and cellist duo.
Diana was very easy to communicate as well as professional. Due to the pandemic, our tiny wedding this past weekend required some detailed adjustments, including the music. Yet she handled them with ease, provided useful feedback, and always responded nicely to our needs. Her singing was beautiful and unique (hence why we picked her). She is of course musically very well-versed. Overall, we highly recommend Diana.
She helped make our wedding beautiful and classy.
Diana was my favorite wedding vendor to work with out of everyone I hired! She is so easy to work with, very sweet, and great with communication.
For our wedding, Diana played piano during the ceremony and cocktail hour/reception. After dinner, she also helped with playing dance music through a music streaming app, since we did not want to hire a DJ. Everything went SUPER smoothly, and she was really on top of everything. She also made announcements to help our event flow well.
Everything above was enough to make me super happy with her collaboration in our wedding, but what was really special about her is how beautifully she performed all of the special request songs I sent her. She learned my walking down the aisle song (a piano melody from the soundtrack of a film my husband and I love), and also a piano cover and vocals of a totally new & modern song. Both performances were so touching, and honestly sounded better than I could ever have imagined! Whenever we talked with guests about how they were enjoying the wedding, they all raved about how much they loved the music and Diana's singing. We really think that she made our wedding special.
We would 1000% recommend her, and as a plus, pricing is very reasonable :)
It was amazing having you in my wedding ceremony. Thank you Diana for a beautiful performance!
Diana was absolutely AMAZING!! She played beautifully at our wedding last week and I had so many people asking about her afterwards! Everyone was in awe with how well she played and sang at our wedding! It wouldn’t have been the same without her!! Thank you!!!
Diana is amazing! She sent us samples of her singing and it was beautiful. She did an amazing job playing and singing the songs we picked. She also worked for a few months with our dads to collaborate on a final song “Mirrors” by JT. She was so easy to work with and very patient with us and our dads. Her prices were so reasonable it almost felt too good to be true. She even helped me find a baby grand piano for our outdoor ceremony that made everything look so classy. I would hire her a million times over. She really made the ceremony so sophisticated and her music literally had everyone shedding tears. Don’t hesitate book her if you want that extra bit of romanticism and class for your wedding!
I booked Diana to play for my wedding ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel this past Sunday and she was such a great pianist/keyboardist. I was so appreciative that she was able to play any requested songs even ones without sheet music available which she would practice playing by ear! One of the songs she practiced playing by ear was on point when played for my exit from the ceremony. I also liked that she would send you a recording of the song she’s practicing to give a preview. I would recommend Diana to anyone for any occasion because she did a great job and was easy to work with!
WOW, just wow... I cant express how much Diana made my ceremony special. Her voice is amazing and professionalism was on point. Highly recommended and she will not disappoint. If you are reading this comment look no further. She truly is the best. Thank you Diana!.
Diana played piano for our wedding and was terrific! We coordinated with her to play our "first dance" song, and she sent us a bunch of recordings tailored to our specific needs. She is highly responsive and responsible, and an excellent pianist as well with an expansive repertoire. Definitely recommend!
Diana was AMAZING to work with! We worked with her for our wedding this past June, and she exceeded all of our expectations. Not only does she have a stunning voice and is an incredibly talented pianist, but she was so focused on making our day perfect. She even learned some of the songs we had requested to be played by ear! I can't recommend Diana highly enough. And, with the stress of wedding planning it was awesome that she was such a dream to work with. I just sent her a list of our ideal songs, we hopped on a quick call and that was it. We even got a CD recording of all of the songs in the mail :-) Thank you for making our day so perfect, Diana!!!
Diana is WONDERFUL!!! My husband and I just got married on June 24th and Diana provided such amazing music for our church ceremony. We are so happy we decided to go with Diana! She is a great singer and an amazing pianist! We knew right away from watching her covers on youtube that we wanted her to perform at our wedding. She is very professional, courteous, and responded to all emails very promptly from the very first interaction. She is very sweet and talented! I highly recommend her! Thank you so much for everything, Diana! :)
Diana did an amazing job playing/singing at our wedding. She learned our favorite songs perfectly, was responsive, kind, punctual, affordable, flexible with scheduling, and went above and beyond to make our day special. Thanks Diana!
I am very pleased to have found Diana Li. I heard her video clips on you tube and I knew right away she would be a perfect fit for my wedding. Her vocal and piano skills are amazing. I was so happy that she was able to memorize a special Chinese song request on such a short last minute notice. Me and my wife loved all of the English and Chinese songs she sang and played. Her price we found to be very reasonable and best of all she comes professionally equipped with her equipment in case the venue doesn't provide any microphones or speakers. I can almost guarantee that you won't be let down at all. Thank you so much for making our night memorable.
She was overall amazing. A consummate professional, a wonderful singer, a great pianist, very punctual and the all-around great person. If you are looking for someone for your event look no further you, have found her. We cannot thank you enough.
Diana was absolutely amazing! She was on time, professional, adaptable, and truly a talented vocalist and pianist! She truly made our wedding extremely special by playing piano for our guests, and singing a song, of my choice, while I walked down the aisle. Especially for her price! So, accommodating and a great listener. She knew exactly what I requested of her, and executed it beautifully. She truly made our dream wedding a reality! I highly recommend her!
Diana was amazing! She was professional, reliable, amazing vocals, and piano skills. I was looking for the perfect touch to my ceremony and this was it. I would highly recommend her for an special event.
We so enjoyed working with Diana. She went above and beyond with our requests. She played and sang our special songs so beautifully it seemed as though she had known them forever. She never hesitated to learn new songs and was masterful at the songs she knew. Our guests were amazed that even though she played for four hours, she never repeated a melody. We were so blessed to have her. Thank you Diana for being so easy to work with. Your professionalism and hard work ethic were stellar. Our wedding day was even more special because of you. You sang and played like an angel.
Diana is amazing and so very talented. We had the pleasure of her playing during our wedding ceremony and she sang during our first dance. It was so special and perfect! My husband and I had found a song for our first dance and sent the link and lyrics to Diana. A couple weeks later, she had learned the song and sang it to perfection. Both my husband and I were thrilled and it was certainly a highlight of our special day. I strongly recommend Diana for your day. You certainly will not be disappointed!!
Diana performed at our Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail hour earlier this month. Without her, it would have been different. Every single one of our guests loved her voice! She was definitely one of the highlights of the night.
We found her through our wedding coordinator and of course we’ve read many reviews about how great she is online. She is so personable and professional, and so easy to work with. (You know what I mean when you have to work with 10+ vendors for just one event) My husband and I listened to her You Tube videos and fell in love with her flawless voice. We stopped looking around and reached out to Diana. Luckily, she was available for our date
On the day of the event, she showed up on time and knew exactly what she needed to do even though she wasn’t in the rehearsal. She communicates so well with the wedding coordinator that I had nothing to worry about! When I heard her voice outside of the door, while waiting to walk down the aisle, I wished I could have just stood there and listened to the entire song! Then, Diana performed at our cocktail hour. She was the talking point for the night! All of our guests were standing around her and listening to her music and she even jammed a few songs with my uncle! Diana is such a talented pianist and vocalist. We did not give her a song list – you probably don’t need to. She will find the right songs for your group! Many guests commended on how great her performance was and how much it added to the atmosphere of the event.
I highly recommend her and it was an absolute pleasure having Diana perform for us at our wedding!
Diana was definitely the best money spent on our wedding! We found her on the Knot and instantly fell in love with her voice. We contacted her immediately and reserved her for our wedding day. We kept in touch over emails, in which she was always very pleasant and quick to respond. She was very flexible to work with and accommodated all of our request. She even learned a special song for us and provided us with a demo prior to the wedding.
On our wedding day, we could not wait to meet her and listen to her perform. The day of the wedding, she was very punctual and professionally dressed. Diana's voice was flawless and very touching, there wasn't a dry eye at our ceremony. She created an unforgettable fairy tale ambience. Our guests were blown away by her performance and constantly complimented her on her talent. From start to finish, Diana was very sweet and professional. She is truly our favorite vendor and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to make their wedding day, a day they would cherish forever! Thank you Diana, for sharing in our special day!
We met Diana through our wedding coordinator and we are SO GLAD we did ! Diana played at our reception cocktail hour at our high end Indian-Persian reception. It was a big wedding with a lot of guests and everyone loved Diana's music, Diana did no just play the Piano but also sang for us. It was absolutely beautiful !
I would totally recommend hiring Diana to add to your event!! She was wonderful!
Wedding Month: July 2014
I found Diana through some online research that led me to her YouTube videos. When I listened to her play piano and sing, I got goosebumps!! I emailed her right away to reserve her to play for the cocktail hour at my wedding (8-2-2014). She was so pleasant to work with over emails and very responsive! When my wedding day came, I was anxious to finish all of our photos to make time for cocktail hour and hear her. I'm so glad that I did - she was fantastic! Her voice is flawless and I loved the ambiance she created. We didn't give her any direction on song choice and she did great! I highly recommend her service and will keep her in mind for future events or friends getting married :) THANK YOU Diana for being a part of our special day!!
Event: Wedding -Diana provided music for our reception (cocktail hour and dinner).
July 19,2014
First we would like to say THANK YOU!!!!!!! Not only she is a great singer, she is a really great pianist. Diana was wonderful to work with! She was always very prompt in getting back to us. My wife and I could say that she did an amazing job; the music and singing were just fabulous. We had many of our guest comment that the music and singing were just flawless. We also appreciate that she took her time to learn a special request for us, (to be able to sing in Spanish ....which is not her language) It came out perfect!! So if you're looking for a great Pianist/Singer Diana is the way to go. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Once again,Thank you Diana.
Diana, the keyboardist for my wedding ceremony, is not only a wonderfully talented pianist, who knew all the classical pieces I had hoped, she was prompt with all my email communications leaving no questions unanswered. She has a delightful personality and her professionalism and class made my wedding planning efforts to find beautiful music smooth and stress free. Diana also contacted the singer I had selected to coordinate their musical numbers, which was so helpful and made the wedding planning process so much easier for me. I would highly recommend Diana for any event that required a skilled pianist.
Diana was a true professional from start to finish. She is a very talented musician that exceeded our expectations in every way. She came early to set up and was a first-class musician even impressing professional musicians in attendance. I would recommend her for any occasion!
Diana did an amazing job playing for our wedding. She was very flexible on what we wanted and accomodated our unique situation for our backyard affair. She played live during the ceremony and cocktail hour and then played the music off my laptop for the reception. I thought she was very fairly priced. She was always available to speak to me and showed up at the wedidng dressed beautifully. I can not say enough great things about my experience with Diana.
Diana is a true artist and musician! We had an intimate seaside ceremony of no more than 25 people and wanted powerful personal touches-- one being a musician to play our favorite songs for the ceremony. Diana learned and mastered the most beautiful versions of 'Everywhere' originally by Fleetwood Mac and 'This Must be the Place' originally by Talking Heads. Many of our guests didn't realize Diana was physically on site performing until they stood up after the ceremony and they were beyond impressed! It sounded as if every song she played was a master recording because her voice and piano playing comes across as exceptionally flawless. My family was ever so impressed with her professionalism and sense of awareness for the volume and the flow of ceremony. We feel so emotionally attached to the music Diana played at our wedding and we intend on listening to the recordings for the rest of our lives-- they are that amazing! Without question, the lovely Diana, will be a beautiful touch to any event and appropriate her music accordingly, keeping in mind her audience and occasion.
I couldn't pick a better performer. Diana did such a outstanding job. :) She played the songs I picked, and her timing was on que. Most of all, her voice was superb! I loved it when she played "A Thousand Years" while I walked down the aisle with my dad. I think everyone was in tears. Her voice will make your heart melt!
So if you're looking for a solo-pianist/singer who has a beautiful voice and great service, she's the one! Thank you, thank you so much for making my special day extra special, Diana!
Diana thank you SO much for the outstanding job you did for my wedding last month!!! I got so many compliments from all my guests for your pianist skills and voice. I couldn't have asked for more from you and you worked so well with my venue and everything went very smoothly!! Thank you for such an AMAZING JOB!!!!
Diana was a delightful surprise. She stepped in at the last minute when my pianist backed out. She already knew the songs I needed her to play which made things so much better. She was on time and delivered the songs with confidence and great quality. She is quite an accomplished pianist.
We had a Disney themed wedding and we needed a musician for our ceremony in which I wanted Disney music.... Well not only did I choose Diana because of her talent I later came to find out that she has a passion for Disney as well!!! She was the perfect fit into our perfect day!!!
My husband and I got married this past June and one of the most special and memorable aspect of our wedding was the beautiful music Diana played during out ceremony and cocktail hour. From the time our guests began arriving for the ceremony, Diana played the perfect songs and set a romantic and joyous mood for our big day. I remember hearing the music from the suite I was getting ready in and the sweet melodies just made me feel so excited and happy that today was the day! As I walked down the path towards the ceremony where my hubby was waiting, Diana played the most wonderful rendition of “Thousand Years” by Christina Perry and her singing was just spot on perfect – I was overcome with emotions just hearing the song and was fighting back tears of joy as I walked down the aisle. I couldn’t have asked for a better musician than Diana for the most picture perfect moments of my life!!!
At cocktail hour, Diana played an up-beat selection of songs and seriously, her music was one of the highlights!! So many of our guests came up and told us how great Diana’s music was and I couldn’t agree more. I wish I could’ve just sat down for a few moments just to take it all in!
Diana was great to work with. I remember finding her on Weddingwire.com about a year before our wedding and fell in LOVE with her voice as I listened to the song she sang from “Tangled”—it was just so angelic! My husband and I knew we just had to have her at our wedding and it was definitely one of our best decisions. In the weeks before the wedding, we chatted over the phone to go over song selections and Diana was so easy to work with and knew all the songs we wanted to have played! I would definitely recommend Diana in a heartbeat to anyone looking to have beautiful music played at their wedding!! She’s amazing!
Diana was excellent! She was everything you could want from a wedding musician- along with her amazing talent as a vocalist and pianist, she was very easy to work with, was willing to learn new songs that we requested, and always quickly responded to our questions via email. At the ceremony itself, she required little guidance beforehand and performed beautifully! We had many guests come up to us afterwards commenting on how wonderful the music was. My aunt in particular told me how the ceremony and the music made for one of the most "spiritual experiences" of her life.
You will have a lot to stress over leading up to your wedding, but you sure won't have to worry about the music if you go with Diana! We recommend her highly.
Thank you Diana for your part in making our special day so great and memorable! I wish we could hire you again and do it all over!
Diana was our first and only choice for wedding ceremony music, and we 100% recommend her for anyone seeking an elegant and romantic music performance for any occasion!
At our wedding of 100 guests at the Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa, Diana performed a combination of instrumentals and vocal+piano and included a range from more classical pieces to contemporary pop. Her music served as the perfect backdrop for multiple parts of our event: the time leading into our ceremony while guests were arriving/seated, the ceremony itself (processional, various ceremony parts, recessional), cocktail hour, and our first dance at the reception.
Leading up to the wedding, Diana was incredibly prompt with responses, as well as organized and helpful with her suggestions. She was very accommodating. She provided us with samples of her work, including her own recording of our first dance song that we could use to practice. And she quickly mastered new musical pieces (even one in Chinese!) to personalize our wedding ceremony. She has a true can-do and enthusiastic attitude that is infectious and hard to come by.
On the day of, Diana was 150% prepared and on-time for setup. She brought her own equipment as part of our package and moved it twice (from ceremony to cocktail hour and from cocktail hour to reception) during our event. And she dressed very professionally and appropriate for her part.
Another point: she effortlessly transitioned between music. I mention this because it makes a world of difference to have seamless music specifically during the ceremony processional when multiple musical pieces are involved. At the same time, it's difficult to predict beforehand exactly how long each wedding party attendant, etc. will take to walk down the aisle and thus how long each musical piece should be played. But Diana reassured me long before the wedding that this was not an issue at all and on that day, she smoothly transitioned all the pieces. They sounded custom-composed for our event.
Now after the wedding, we are still receiving an endless stream of compliments from our guests about Diana’s exquisite performance that moved many to (happy) tears. I hope they and you will have the privilege of hiring Diana to perform at your next important event!
I found Diana by searching online and emailed her to ask her to perform a song at my wedding. She responded quickly and was extremely easy to work with. No contract, fast communication, showed up early for mic check, dressed formally, gave a stellar performance, and was extremely professional. She made my ceremony magical with her Disney-like voice. I had her bring her own equipment to my venue (montage resort in laguna) and everything worked out perfectly. She sang Marry Me by Train and everyone loved it!!!
Diana performed at my wife's retirement party. Her two hour medley of songs, her voice/pitch/execution and harmony was absolutely perfect! Almost 100 people attended our function. Everyone commented on Diana's expertise. Her work was fabulous. She was supremely prepared and provided a beautiful setting that enhanced an evening of lifelong memories. This party was a perfect evening and she was the perfect musician/singer for the event. Diana is truly a talented gem!
We requested Diana to play at our ceremony both during the time guests were still arriving and all the key moments during the ceremony. Her voice was so perfect everyone thought it was a recording until they saw her playing. I have had numerous guests tell me what a terrific job she did. She was so accommodating with my song requests and she even sent me YouTube videos of her playing the songs to make sure it was what I wanted. She takes her work very seriously, she is so incredibly talented, and my wedding wouldn't have been as perfect without her performances. Nobody will ever have any regrets hiring her for any event.
We had a beautiful wedding in Orange County. We were told our wedding was awesome! Great food and drinks, live band, but we received the most compliments on Diana's beautiful piano music and vocals at the ceremony. It made all the difference in the quality of the ceremony. More important than the minister in my opinion. She was on time, set everything up and was flawless. Best money we spent! Thanks Diana. You will be famous someday!
I met Diana at a wedding a few weeks back and was just taken by the great ambiance her music helped create. I immediately engaged her to perform at my wife's 50th birthday. She did not disappoint and my guests at the cocktail kept asking "who is she"? as she seamlessly moved from one genre of music to the next. Thanks Diana!
