We were absolutely thrilled with Fred and the delightful music he provided during our wedding cocktail hour! Fred worked with us to choose genres that we wanted to be played within his vast repertoire allowing us to create the exact type of vibe we wanted. He set the tone perfectly for the evening, creating an atmosphere of elegance and warmth that our guests thoroughly enjoyed! We received countless compliments from our guests about how charming the live piano music made the cocktail hour. Fred is not only a fantastic musician, but also a pleasure to work with, accommodating our schedule and any special requests. We are so grateful for the role Fred played in making our wedding day as magical as it was. If you are looking for a pianist who can elevate any event with their talent, we highly recommend Fred!
Fred was very professional to work with and did an amazing job playing for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Highly recommend
We really can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was having Fred Yacono play music for our wedding ceremony. He was inviting, self-assured, and accommodating throughout the planning and music selection process. He can essentially take any song with a melody and turn it into a beautiful piece of piano music. The emotion and drama he infuses his playing with really takes it to the next level. It was my dream to walk down the aisle to Clair de Lune, and Fred's skilled hands made that dream come true. Fred is also very affordable for the quality of his playing and service. Highly recommend!
Fred was amazing! I hired him for my wedding and for my small wedding reception afterward. Piano music is very important to my husband and I, we were blown away by Fred's talent and professionalism. My wedding went off perfectly with all of our favorite classical selections. He also recommended piano during the reading and the reception which really enhanced the romantic air for our day. Thank you Fred for all you did to make my wedding day perfect!
Fred was great from the beginning to end. He took the time to meet with us to learn exactly what we wanted for our wedding music and even went to check our venue and meet with the coordinator on his own before the wedding. Additionally, he reached out to our wedding planner, pastor, and other vendors to assure they were on the same page, and provided the speakers and sound system for his pianos. He conveniently had a second set to use for our cocktail hour so he didn't have to break down and set up again in a second location. He went above and beyond by providing a way to play a special processional song we needed done via CD. We were very pleased with Fred and would be happy to recommend him!
Fred is amazingly talented and charming! Fred provided the most beautiful music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. At our first meeting Fred listened to our ideas of the style of music we wanted at the wedding, and he started playing music pieces that perfectly captured what we had envisioned. Hiring Fred is absolutely one of the best decisions that we had made in this wedding planning process. Many of our guests commented on how Fred's music had added an extra dimension of beauty and grace to our ceremony. Thank you Fred for making our wedding so beautiful and moving. I would highly recommend Fred to anyone looking for a pianist who can provide beautiful and elegant music to an event!
We contacted Fred almost last minute for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. He was more than willing to play for us, quick to answer emails, and made sure the music he played was what we wanted to hear. Fred is very professional, he was in and out without me (the bride) barely noticing, but I would have loved to say thanks! I would recommend him.
Wonderful pianist....you could not possibly go wrong with hiring Fred. He played at our vow renewal party and was so accomodating and just wonderful. Very talented musician! Very nice gentleman! Lovely wife, Terry was also extremely helpful to us and even set up a microphone for our use.
I am so impressed with Fred playing piano during my ceremony, cocktail hour, and wedding!! He truly exceeded our expectations! Fred is incredibly talented and we appreciated how easy it was to work with him. His wonderful communication, attention to detail and professionalism really made it easy to plan.
We are particularly impressed with Fred's attention to detail. He met with us 2 times prior to the wedding (once to "get the ball rolling", and the other to visit our venue-truly above-and-beyond service. I also was impressed that Fred took the initiative to reach out to our officiant to iron out any details. It really made the day stress-free.
Our guests could not say enough wonderful things about Fred's talent! Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special and unforgettable!!
Meeting with Fred to pick out our wedding music was both my husband and my favorite vendor meeting, bar none! Fred's talent is out of this world and his piano music really helped to make our wedding beautiful and unforgettable. He is unbelievably talented and does a phenomenal job. If I ever have need for piano music at an event again in the future, I would hire Fred in a heartbeat!
Fred played piano for both our wedding ceremony and reception at the end of September, and we could not have been happier with the results. The music was absolutely beautiful. He did a great job of understanding what we wanted and delivering exactly that. He even arranged with a violinist and a cellist that he recommended, and we had them play for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The trio was so beautiful! Fred was so easy to work with, and very responsive. Our wedding was just perfect, and Fred was a big part of that. Thank you!
Fred was great to work with! He was very helpful in choosing music for our ceremony. He was also very enthusiastic and excited to be a part of our special day. His fee was much cheaper than all other pianists we looked into, but you could not see any less quality. I was very happy to have chosen him!
