As a DJ, I have been fortunate to work with Diane as a solo singer and keyboardist and as part of the duo, Rick and the Redhead. They have provided music for my 40th birthday & we have worked together to honor the homeless during a winter solstice event at Keene Square. Most recently, Diane was the featured entertainment at my father's 70th birthday at The Arlington Inn. She worked with my mother to create a wonderful soundtrack for the event. I was outdoors, but when I went inside for a moment, Diane played Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" for a special dance with my Mom. She then did "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by request for a cousin. Thank you. 😊
Dianne was professional and an excellent musician for our special day at the Colonel Williams Inn.
We communicated through email - sending suggestions and discussing what to play. She was very prepared and rehearsed the songs before our wedding. She even sent a video of her rehearsing along with notes for us about which parts of the song matched up with the processional. This helped us understand what to expect.
The day-of, she was able to check-in, and set up without our assistance which was a big help.
I would gladly recommend Diane to anyone looking for a professional and talented musician for their ceremony.

SINGING PIANIST

Diane Ammons is a Troy, NH-based pianist and singer who performs throughout the Monadnock Region, and parts of the Merrimack Valley, Southern Vermont, and Northwestern Massachusetts. With nearly two decades of experience, she has a vast repertoire encompassing various genres, including Classical, standards from the American Songbook (think Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and Duke Ellington), pop favorites, soft rock, jazz, show tunes, classic country, and hymns/worship music. Her extensive song list includes wedding favorites from Bach, Handel, and Pachelbel, as well as popular hits from the 1920s through today, with a heavy emphasis on music from the 1970s and 80s (The Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Carole King, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Shania Twain, etc.) as well as more contemporary soft hits from folks like Adele, Ed Sheeran and Leon Bridges. She'll provide a relaxed, sophisticated, and romantic vibe before, during, and after your wedding ceremony - and can keep the music going at your cocktail reception. Diane is there to provide ambiance - not steal the show! She plays at a volume that still allows for conversation, will provide her own keyboard and sound system if needed, and is willing to travel up to 120 miles away.
If you have any special songs you'd like performed, with or without vocals, she's happy to learn them if given sufficient notice. Please feel free to reach out to her to discuss how Diane can help bring your wedding vision to life!
