Guy Palazzolo was a delight to work with- he was easy to get a hold of and chat about options for songs to play before and after our wedding ceremony. He learned some new songs that made our day extra special, too. He gave us a few options of outfits he could wear to our event, and he was perfectly on time. I loved how he would send over a recording of the song he just learned for us (in our case some Studio Ghibli and Disney songs) with a description in the beginning to explain his thoughts and any potential changes in the song. It was a smooth process working with Guy, and he was wonderfully enthusiastic. Absolutely would contact Guy again for other events, and we highly recommend him!
Thanks again for helping to make our big day wonderful!

We hired Guy to play some music on the piano as guests entered into our wedding reception. His music added a classy, romantic ambience to the cocktail hour. He was very responsive and even agreed to play a few song requests. Would highly recommend to hire Guy if you want to add some beautiful music to your next event!

Words cannot express how grateful we are for Guy! He was such an awesome vendor to work with and was there every step of the way! Prior to the ceremony he was in constant communication with us regarding our song selections and would send us samples to see if it was to our liking. I changed our song selections a few times and Guy was happy to accommodate. We ended up choosing Turning Page by Sleeping at Last & Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey. He also was there during our rehearsal to ensure everyone was on tempo. The day of the wedding he was on it! Both songs were executed beautifully the day of. Hiring Guy to play on our wedding day was the best decision and it truly made our special day feel magical. I would highly recommend hiring Guy to play at your next event!

Guy is great! I had the opportunity to work with him a Silver Creek Country Club in San Jose (I'm a wedding coordinator). He played piano during the cocktail hour. Guy was punctual, professional, and very talented! Would definitely recommend Guy and would be happy to work with him again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Guy as our official pianist for the city of Santa Clara Historic Home Tour. He played for us for 5 consecutive years (until the Pandemic caused us to take time off), and we were always pleased that he could return. As chairperson of the tour,I worked with Guy to set up the program of background music for our home tour dinner. He played for a total of two hours with a break in between. His music was always appropriate and cheerful. He is a very, very talented musician! Guy was always professional: on time, well-prepared and polite. It was a joy to work with him, and he was always willing to adapt to our situation. I would highly recommend him to join in your event. You will not be disappointed!
(PS His CDs are amazing.)
