Rory, played at our home for a holiday party. He interacted with the guests, read the crowd and played gracefully. Vocals and music selection were perfect for the evening. Rory arrived early and slipped out without interrupting the evening. A gentleman.

Rory was the ultimate professional, and his piano playing added a beautiful element to our company holiday party. We would not hesitate to partner with him again in the future for other events, whether work or personal, and I have no doubt some of the attendees will want his contact information for their own events.

Rory performs on a regular basis at my senior retirement community and my residents love him! His musical abilites are excellent and he is very professional. He wears a tie when he performs-who does that these days? He interacts with the residents and gets them engaged. He is very energetic and jumps on the piano bench while he plays "Great Balls of Fire"! What fun!! His price is very reasonable.

Rory did a phenomenal job performing at our wedding. He is extremely professional and very experienced. He was brought in on behalf of another pianist I lined up and that couldnt perform and he handled the situation very fairly. He honored the price we had agreed upon, he learned all the songs that I asked for, including creating sheet music for my processional. Any interaction I had with him was a pleasure and he exceeded my expectations. Im a true believer that everything happens for a reason and there was a reason that I came across him and his services. I highly recommend him for any
