She's a great teacher and made the whole experience so fun and memorable. She was also our day-of wedding coordinator and she was amazing. Niosha is super experienced when it comes to weddings, and that helped us so much, not just with the day-of details but even beforehand. She guided us through decisions we didn't even know we needed to make and brought up things we would have completely missed. Her advice and support took so much stress off our shoulders. On the wedding day, she made everything run smoothly, from helping set up all the décor to keeping things on schedule, she handled it all with calm, kindness, and positive energy. Our families loved her too. She was so easy to work with and blended right in. She was always available when we had questions, super responsive, and honestly went above and beyond to make sure everything came together perfectly. We're so thankful for her and can't imagine our wedding day without her!

The result was nothing less than fabulous. He even cleaned the keys. Listening to this man play, alone, would have been well worth the cost of his tuning, but if you need your piano tuned, rest assured this master will do an excellent job. Icing on the cake: of course he was masked, but he also brought protective shoes covers to be certain he did not track anything into my home. He is charming, articulate, and an absolute expert at what he does. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I am relieved to know he is out there should my piano need any work in the future. Needless to say, I am a devoted fan, and I would love to attend any performance in which he might perform.
