Gigi was wonderful to work with! I had a few songs that I really wanted but the piano accompaniment didn’t quite fit the tempo. She worked with me to make those songs fit in our ce...
remony. In hindsight, I would definitely choose her again!
Gigi was simply amazing. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and played beautifully for our cocktail hour. I hope to work with Gigi again.
Gigi was awesome! All of the pieces she played sounded great. She was able to play all of our requested pieces for the ceremony and put together some nice choices of her own befo...
re it started. She was so accommodating when we had to change up our wedding entirely due to the pandemic. Gigi was always very prompt and easy to get in touch with which really helped planning go smoothly. I would not hesitate to book her for another event.
Gigi is the best!
I felt as if I came to her late in the process for wedding planning but she put me at ease and helped me pull together music for ceremony, even taking the extra...
step to rehearse with the vocalist prior to the ceremony. All guests enjoyed the music and I highly recommend Gigi!!
Fairly late in my wedding planning process I decided that I NEEDED to walk down the aisle to an instrumental version of a favorite song. I had no idea where to begin but then I fou...
nd Gigi. What I thought was going to be a difficult process was nothing but simple from there on out! She ended up learning my song as well as some others to make our ceremony tailored perfectly to suit our musical tastes. Every selection sounded beautiful and were better than we could have imagined. Gigi truly has talent and passion for music in spades! As if that weren’t wonderful enough, she is a joy to work with and such a sweet lady. If you need to hear your favorite music at your event, or just have need of a talented, lovely soul to add music to your life, book Gigi!
Gigi was great to work with. I reached out a few months prior to our wedding because I knew I wanted to walk down the aisle to a specific, non-traditional song, which she absolutel...
y nailed. Gigi was very responsive to all my questions, was kind and very professional. She even asked me what I wanted her to wear for our ceremony during our rehearsal, so respectful and thoughtful! I have already recommended Gigi to personal friends and would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a pianist for a wedding event.
Gigi played the music at our ceremony and our rehearsal dinner as well. It was everything I have ever wanted for my wedding and more. She is the most versatile piano player, elegan...
t and fun! Our guests absolutely loved her. Not only is she prompt in response and professional, she is such a genuine, warm, and kind person. It felt like working with a close friend rather than just communicating with a vendor. Her music was beautiful and made our special day musically memorable. So talented and we feel so lucky to have had the pleasure of working with her. I could not recommend her enough! Book her, like yesterday!!
Gigi played for our cocktail hour and did a beautiful job. She is truly a great pianist! We would book her again in a heartbeat!

Gigi was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I had a lot of anxiety about hiring a pianist. We had already hired a student from the WashU music department, but he canceled on us l...
ast minute, and we found ourselves scrambling to find a pianist one month before the wedding. We were so fortunate to have been able to book Gigi. Both my husband and I have played piano for about 10 years (in addition, my husband composes piano), so we both had fairly high expectations. Also, most of our wedding guests grew up playing piano as well, so overall, we really wanted someone good. We had a list of 8 songs already picked out and we were worried that one month would not be enough time to master these songs. Gigi ended up playing wonderfully and blew ourselves and all of our weddings guests away. We loved the fact that she played with a lot of emotion and also just the right pace. She was also wonderfully responsive during the whole planning process, and this definitively decreased our anxiety (especially after our last musician suddenly quit). We are so glad that we hired Gigi and would definitely recommend her to anyone!

work with and really cared about everything that I wanted throughout the ceremony and even got in touch with my singer to set up a rehearsal. I didn't even get a chance to meet with her before the wedding because my schedule was so crazy, so I met her the day of. She was extremely professional and played the music beautifully. She was able to do everything I wanted and the music was extremely beautiful. She did a wonderful job and I would recommend her to anyone who is getting married soon.
Gigi Darr is an absolutely top notch performer, and just lovely to work with. She cares about what you want and will tailor the wedding music to you and your partner's wishes. We d...
idn't want traditional wedding music, and found a piece online. She ordered the music and played it perfectly at our ceremony. It was a longer piece, which needed to end sooner than the sheet music ended, and she made it blend perfectly with the timing of our processional. If you need a pianist for ANY event, she is the one you want. Her repertoire and training is eclectic. We can't say enough good things about her.
