Timothy Nelson Piano Entertainment

Having Tim play during the cocktail hour at my son’s bar mitzvah was a delightful and unexpected touch that our guests enjoyed. It really set the tone for the evening, and not only is he and excellent pianist but was incredibly pleasant and easy to work with. I wanted a very specific genre of music played, and he responded with not only a playlist but added the specific songs I’d requested. I’d hire him again in a minute!

My husband and I have always been a little unconventional in our music selections and our wedding was no exception. We spent months looking for someone who would be able to play «elevator music» versions of some of our favorite 80’s and 90’s tunes for dinner. After talking to numerous pianists, when we walked into Tim’s home for a private concert we knew we had our pianist. Tim was not only very friendly and accommodating, but seemed to really understand what we were looking for in our music selection. We just told him to pick 70’s-90’s rock/​punk that would sound best on the piano and let him run with it. We are still hearing from our guests how much fun it was to be in the middle of dinner conversation and realize that they were hearing a Kurt Cobain piece coming out from the grand piano. Tim was just wonderful to work with and really added that special touch we were hoping for our wedding.

It was a pleasure working with Tim from the very beginning of our planning process for our wedding. He was responsive to e-​mails and really tried to understand the atmosphere we wanted to create for our cocktail hour and worked with us in coordinating a song list. All of our guests really enjoyed his presence and the ambiance he created for our cocktail hour. Tim is incredibly professional and an excellent pianist. We highly recommend him!
