We couldn't have asked for a better experience with our wedding pianist! From the rehearsal to the ceremony, everything went flawlessly. She played a new song I had requested beautifully, adding a personal touch to our special day. Her talent and professionalism truly enhanced the atmosphere, making our celebration unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Susan is amazing and a dream to work with! She helped me so much when it came to picking my songs and was helpful with recommendations. She is so talented! Made my wedding day so much smoother knowing you have someone like this you can count on!
Susan was such a dream to work with! My husband and I had many less popular song requests, and she accommodated us so generously by creating her own piano versions of all the songs. Every song she played was absolutely stunning, and she arranged them to all transition seamlessly. Not to mention, she had no problems transporting her piano to the upper floor of Brooklyn Arts Center, where we had our ceremony. We loved working with her and I'd recommend her to anyone!
I cannot recommend Susan enough for anyone looking to add a touch of class and romance to their wedding day! She is not only a talented musician but also such a joy to work with. Thank you again for making our day so memorable!
Susan was wonderful to work with. She talked to our daughter and fiancée to hear their vision for the wedding day . She asked questions and really listened to understand their personalities . Susan offered great ideas regarding music choices as well as even placement for her beautiful piano .
She was sincerely interested in making this day perfect and she truly did.
Susan is a lovely woman and she was very professional among our guests and during the moments she was performing! She is truly talented!

Susan Honey is amazingly talented and, as a pianist for a special event, she truly understands the meaning of customer service and professionalism. She did a beautiful job for the wedding and even went above and beyond to work with our soloist to make sure the processional and recessional pieces were perfect. She also did an incredible job at the cocktail hour of the reception. Her genuine warm and caring personality made the experience even more personal which was so appreciated with such an important life event! I happily give her my highest recommendation!
The Wilmington Pianist literally made my wedding a dream come true. She brought two baby grands to my wedding; one which was used for the outdoor ceremony and the second set up in the reception area. She was prompt to all of our meetings and made communication super effortless. She is slightly expensive but worth every penny. My wedding guests still rave about her talents!
Susan is an incredibly talented pianist and was a joy to work with! She went out of her way to learn songs that I specially requested, and it made the day even more amazing than I thought possible. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a great wedding pianist!

Susan was the absolute best! She is very professional and so easy to work with. Her talent on the piano is beautiful! Would highly recommend for your special occasions!
I had always dreamed of walking down the aisle to “i can’t help falling in love with you” and Susan delivered my dream SO BEAUTIFULLY, she helped me come up with the set for the whole ceremony and it was perfect. And not only is she skilled and professional, her traveling baby grand is BEAUTIFUL, it created such a elegant environment and flowed so well with the rest of our wedding decor. I am so grateful we had her playing on our day - if you are considering hiring Susan, she is SOOO worth it and yoh wont regret it!

Susan was a joy work with! Everything was perfect and our wedding was amazing! Highly recommend!
I am OVER THE MOON that we had Susan as a part of our wedding day! Not only was she incredibly kind and helpful throughout the stressful process, but she brought a unique part to our wedding and it would not have been the same without her! From working with me to surprise the groom with a piano version of one of our favorite songs, to helping build the perfect playlist for guests arriving and the cocktail hour reception, to working with the venue to ensure we could fit the piano on the patio area - Susan was incredible to work with and made the process so easy! I felt like we had known each other for years! If you’re considering having a live musician for your big day, stop considering and do it!! My guests are still talking about it!
I have had the privilege of listening to Susan Honey's music for many years and was delighted to have her play for my son's engagement party. She is an amazing pianist who genuinely connects with her clients. Susan worked with my son and his fiance to select songs that were meaningful to them and her music added a lovely ambiance to our party. Our event location provided the piano, however, Susan has a traveling grand piano so she would be able to accommodate many venues. I highly recommend Ms. Honey!
Susan played piano for my sister’s wedding and she was such a joy to work with! She was smiling and happy the entire time she was at the wedding, her professionalism was top notch, and her piano playing was out of this world. I could not be more impressed. If you are looking for someone to play live piano for an event, I can’t recommend Susan enough!
I cannot rate Susan high enough! She was such a memorable part of our daughter's wedding day. Music is often the background to our most special moments. A song can take us back to a time and place like nothing else. Susan's perfect performance will bring me back to the moment my baby walked down the isle and danced with her husband for the first time...and her Daddy for the first time as a married woman!
Susan used her expertise in helping my daughter pick the perfect songs, was flawless in her appearance, prompt in her arrival, and so fluid when we had to move our outside ceremony inside due to weather. She will add such a sweet completion to your perfect day!
Choosing Susan to play at my son’s wedding was aa great decision! Her portable grand piano is gorgeous, her playing was wonderful and our guests enjoyed her so much!
On my daughter’s wedding day, as she and I waited to walk down the aisle, we heard Susan playing her portable grand piano and the tears started flowing! It was so beautiful and we couldn’t be more grateful for how she made that moment exactly how we always dreamed it would be. Thank you, Susan Honey, for making my daughter’s day spectacular!
