Latoya J, Wedding Cocktail Hour 
Mandy was EXTREMELY professional and accommodating! She was on time (in fact she arrived early) and all of our guests loved her play list...it was wonderful to have her at our cocktail hour. She even stayed later than anticipated (there was a problem with our DJ equipment). All the while, she was smiling and kept everything going! I would highly recommend her to ANY bride and groom!
Thanks Mandy! You were a Godsend!

Sue S.D., private party
Mandy was magnificent!Mandy was a great addition to our party- she plays beautifully and was a joy to work with. We will definitely hire her again.

Jodie H., PISD Awards Ceremony 
PerfectionShe was absolutely fabulous! She was a great addition to our awards ceremony! So glad that she was able to come!

Marion D., Wedding Reception 
I found PianoMandy to play piano at our son and daughter-in-law's reception/dinner party at the San Antonio Garden Center. She is a true professional and did an outstanding job of playing for our guests and made our event extra special. Mandy was a joy and very pleasant to work with, quick to respond to any email or questions, and kept in touch. I would definitely hire her again, and highly recommend her. We loved her!

Kathy M., Wedding Ceremony
Mandy was outstanding! As a pianist myself, I listen to others with a critical ear. She was everything that I'd hoped for in a pianist for our daughter's wedding. The playlist was a bit unusual for a wedding - ranging from Beatles to Jim Brickman to ColdPlay. No matter the song...Mandy was wonderful! My only regret is that, as the Mother of the Bride, I didn't get to hear her play ALL of the songs, enjoying her talent to the fullest. I would highly recommend Mandy for any event.

Tomika D., Wedding Ceremony 
Mandy was wonderful! She made several phone contacts with me before my big date to get everything she needed to make my day perfect! Mandy was very prompt and ready to perform. She and the vocalist got together for the first time and performed as if they were veterans! The only bad thing is that I didn't get to personally meet her due to all the pictures I was taking after the ceremony! I'm sure I will meet her in the near future, since I would strongly recommend her services to a friend. Thanks again Mandy, you were GREAT!


Cari T. Wedding Ceremony 
Mandy was fantastic! She was always very professional and super sweet to talk to on the phone. She was accommodating to my requests and was able to provide me with tons of songs to choose from. She arrived early and was ready to go on time. She was a perfect addition to our wedding! I would hire Mandy again and again, she plays the piano beautifully.

BJ B., baby shower 
 Mandy was the perfect touch of ambiance for the baby shower celebrating the upcoming birth of our first grandchild! She played beautiful arrangements of sentimental lullabies and memorable Disney tunes that appealed to all ages at the party and even offered to play longer than originally scheduled when the delivery of the cake was delayed. Mandy is genuinely warm and personable but is also very professional. We look forward to inviting her to play again at a special occasion or family gathering!
