We had the best experience working with Guy Palazzolo. From the very beginning, communication was so easy.. he always replied quickly, really listened to what we wanted, and was just genuinely kind and pleasant to work with. On our wedding day, he showed up early, looked so professional, and played absolutely beautifully. The music made such a difference and created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We’re honestly so grateful we found him and got to have him be part of our day. We would 100% recommend him to any couple!

Guy was our pianist for our wedding in October 2025. We reached out to Guy way in advance in late 2024, and his communication and professionalism were stellar. Communication was sp...
arse in the beginning because we were still over 6 months away from the wedding, but every time we needed to discuss something, he responded promptly and addressed our questions properly. Closer to our wedding, Guy made sure to send us previews of our chosen songs and went over our requests for each, then adjusted them accordingly to our preference. On the day of, Guy was on time and professional. Our chosen songs were executed beautifully, specifically my song to walk down the aisle to (it was everything I’d imagine it would be). When the ceremony was completed and we were busy taking photos with guests, Guy continued to play beautiful ambience music in the background. Overall, we are grateful for Guy and the service he provided. Highly recommended.

dibly responsive, professional, and friendly. He went above and beyond by learning additional songs at our request, providing regular updates and samples of his progress, which gave us complete confidence that everything would be perfect. On the wedding day, Guy arrived early and seamlessly set up in multiple locations, ensuring beautiful music before the ceremony, during the ceremony, and for our first dance. His talent and artistry added an elegant and emotional touch to every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better musician to be part of our special day. If you’re looking for a skilled, dedicated, and personable pianist, we highly recommend Guy. Thank you for making our wedding even more magical!

at 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!

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.

sed 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.)
