Private Party
"Finest pianist, perfect for the occasion, like having a friend to set
the tone for the evening. Easy to contact him, flexible, personable,
large repertoire, perfect execution, easy to listen to, and enjoyed
every piece he played. A true professional and gentle artist. A long
evening of fine music that left us absolutely delighted with his
performance. We are most grateful to Dillon for contributing to make our
anniversary an unforgettable event."
Bonnie and Sergio (Gig Masters)
"We hired Dillon for my dad's 60th birthday party and HE WAS
INCREDIBLE! Dillon played on the piano during the dinner and then led
our guests in song until late in the evening. Dillon truly made the
event an incredible success and was a true "pro" he was able to read the
crowd and just did an awesome job. We have heard from back all our
guests how much fun they had and we would not hesitate hiring him or
recommending him for another event. Thank you Dillon!"
Jennifer C (GigMasters)
"Dillon was
outstanding, offering personalized service and wonderful music. He
communicated with me in advance and made sure that my parents' favorite
songs were included in his song list for their party. He also learned a
new song - a sentimental favorite of my mother's -- and even went the
extra mile by sending me a copy of the sheet music to share with her, as
she is also a musician. His exceptional piano and vocals were just
great. I also appreciated the fact that he was open to sing-alongs,
something that the guests at our party really enjoyed. I would hire
Dillon again in a second -- and I certainly hope to hear him play
again."
Rebecca J (GigMasters)
“Dillon's talent at the keyboard was evident from the beginning of the
evening. Equally nice, he chose musical selections throughout the
evening that complemented the rhythm of the party. By request, Dillon
started the evening with a lovely presentation of classical music. When
the party became more celebratory and developed a 'buzz," he switched
seamlessly to contemporary music. His music added that special touch
which made my mother's 100th birthday party a splendid celebration, and
his rendition of "Happy Birthday" was flawless! I would recommend Piano
d'Amore for any occasion.”
Marjorie B.
Everybody
so enjoyed your music! It was fun listening to your artful playing and
also singing along with you. I will definitely be calling you in
the future. Thank you so much for bringing so much joy!
Florence R.
"Everything was perfect! Dillon arrived in plenty of time for the event-
a birthday party for my husband-and delighted everyone with his talent
and entertainment. It was a large group, not always attentive to
Dillon's skill, but the ambience was completed by his presence. We would
definitely call him again."
Susan H.
(GigMasters)
"Mr. Dillon was very professional from the very start and finish ,very
accommodating, and communicating well. Each song, before he begin
singing, he will even narrate the story of the songs, very professional
in playing the piano and has a million dollar voice like Michael Buble
or Frank Sinatra. He made my party alive with his songs. He
even sang my pilipino song so clearly and marvelous, beyond the limit of
expectation. I highly recommend to anyone looking for elegant
pianist -soloist. l salute you maestro Dillon bravo!"
Amy B.
(GigMasters)
"Dillion was
wonderful. He was given very little direction and was able to read the
party and the change in atmosphere and Blendon beautifully. He made our
night stress-free. I would recommend him absolutely! "
Lorrie S.
(GigMasters)
"Dillon
was Terrific! Dillon played for
annual Christmas Eve party this year. He provided carol sing a long
books, which were just perfect, played beautifully and was a big hit for
our party!"
Judy S. (Gig Salad)
“Dillon was a great choice for piano player at my Xmas party. I wanted
it to be an informal and fun setting and he did just that. He is very
pleasant and was very congenial with the guests, responding to requests
gladly.”
Diane M. (GigMasters)
"We were so
pleased with Dillon! He came over to see the venue about a month before
the party. He then showed up 45 minutes before our event (dressed
impeccably) to ensure plenty of time for his setup which certainly put
us at ease! He played beautiful music and sang beautifully throughout
the entire event. He took requests from the guests that evening and he
even learned a new song to add to his repertoire that we had asked him
about when we first met him! From beginning to end, we couldn't have
asked for anything more. He did exactly what we had asked for and then
some and helped to add to the elegance of our holiday cocktail party!
Thank you, Dillon! "
Suzanne M. (GigMasters)
"Dillon was great.
His choice of music added the perfect touch to our party."

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner
"Piano
d' Amore deserves 10 stars on a five star scale! It was our lucky day
when we connected with Dillon of Piano d' Amore...he is absolutely
exceptional. Dillon entertained at our son's rehearsal dinner and he
made the party! You name it and Dillon can play it, He sings
beautifully... knows the appropriate tempo to play all night, guided us
into toasts and fun filled moments. Dillon advanced our "Rose" theme to
welcome our new daughter in law, and had great ideas! WONDERFUL to work
with! Family and friends were amazed and asked where we found him! I
cannot say enough wonderful things about this true professional...HIRE
HIM you will be in for a real treat!"
Jane L.

We were so impressed
with your performance at the rehearsal dinner of our son and his bride
this past Friday evening at the 1789 restaurant. So many guests
commented to us the delightful ambiance that you created with the piano
playing and they super enjoyed the many songs that all ages recognized!
Thank you for your sustained and impeccable performance!

Wedding
Ceremony
"I HIGHLY
recommend Mr. Dillon and Piano d'Amore. He provided our ceremony music.
He was very responsive, professional and very talented. I found him on
Wedding Wire 3-4 weeks before our wedding and he was able to
provide the music despite his busy schedule and the short notice. The
music was absolutely perfect! Mr. Dillon nailed the songs and timing was
perfect. He played the song 'A Thousand Years' by Christina Perri and
several other songs. A lot of our guests were very impressed and moved
to tears during the procession and ceremony. It was just what we needed
for our intimate wedding. I just remember walking down the aisle and
feeling that this was exactly what I'd always imagined. what can I
say...It was a perfect day. I married my sweetheart, everything was
perfect. For this We are eternally grateful"
Uche O. (GigMasters & Wedding Wire)
"Dillon played the piano at my wedding ceremony last weekend, and the
music was beautiful! The piano music was more gorgeous than I imagined
and really set the mood for the ceremony and the entire wedding! Dillon
was professional, and always responded very quickly to requests and
messages. He was willing to work with us and wanted to accommodate our
every wish for our special day! Thanks to Dillon for helping make our
wedding such an amazing and memorable event!!"
Sarah P. (GigMasters)
"Dillon is definitely
your go-to guy - Not only does he play beautiful music, but he is SO
experienced with weddings! He knows a variety of beautiful songs, knows
when to stop, start, increase volume or speed up, or slow down...
playing for an event is REALLY difficult, because so many things can
happen unexpectedly, and Dillon has the experience, tact, and ability to
work with anything that comes up. Plus, he is extremely friendly and
flexible .. did I mention he was super super responsive (AND REASONABLE
PRICING??!) !! Top notch!"
Stephanie H. (Wedding
Wire & GigMasters)
"I got married
a few days ago and hired Dillon from Piano d'Amore as my ceremony
musician. The ceremony music was absolutely beautiful. Dillon also did
an excellent job of adjusting lengths of the songs to the progress of
the ceremony. He also played during the wedding cocktail hour, which
contained a very good mix of classic songs, popular songs and love
songs. Everyone agreed that the piano music was excellent. The rate was
also reasonable. All in all, I highly recommend Piano d'Amore for your
event."
Tina W. (Wedding
Wire, The Knot, & Gig Salad)
"Dillon was an
important great addition to my daughter's wonderful wedding. He had
great suggestions for music, but also played whatever the Bride wanted
during the ceremony. Obviously he is an experienced , talented musician.
Besides the ceremony, he also played during a cocktail hour while
pictures were being done. Several folks complemented him and his music.
An important part of our big day.....highly recommend him...you will be
very satisfied."
Peter T. (Wedding Wire)
"I couldn't have
been any happier. Dillon made my wedding ceremony perfect!! My guest
loved him, I got so many complements. I would definitely recommend him
to friends and family I'm the future. THANK YOU DILLON!!"
Sarah W. (GigMasters)
You were AMAZING! Truly incredible. Kick Drum Heart was exactly what
we wanted! I really appreciate you playing in the cold. I wish everyone
could have enjoyed your beautiful music for the full cocktail hour, but
unfortunately the weather didn’t want to cooperate with us and I didn’t
want to torture you too much :) We received so many compliments on you
from our guests, and I know Breaux was impressed too. I will certainly
be leaving you an amazing review on wedding wire and recommending you to
my friends! Thanks again for everything.
Caitlin Anderson (personal)
"Dillon was
amazing. He did our ceremony music and cocktail hour music. We received
so many compliments on his piano playing from our guests. The weather
was chilly and windy so I know his hands must have been cold, but he
powered through! He even learned one of our favorite songs to play for
our recessional!"
Caitlin Anderson ( Wedding Wire)
"Dillon
was great! He's very detailed and made sure he was playing the music at
the right times. He is super talented. He helped complete my wedding!!"

special day!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

with my soloists, attended the rehearsal, supplied a keyboard and a
piano. I would highly recommend Dillon for any event. He is very
versatile, flexible and very professional. I'm glad I chose Dillon to
provide the music for my ceremony."

with Piano d"Amore. Dillon was able to

definitely keep his number."
Nancy F

"Dillon was an
excellent addition to our outdoor wedding at the
Westfields Marriott. While I was busy getting
dressed for the wedding, I could hear the
soothing sound of him playing classical music
down below on the Sunset Terrace. The tunes
brought tears to my eyes and made me realize how
close I was to marrying my soul mate. Dillon was
not only professional and kind, but he added
Beyonce's "Love on Top" to his repertoire to
make our recessional all the more special. I
would recommend him 10 times over. He is a
consummate professional."
Corina C. (Wedding
Wire)
"Thank you
so much for providing such outstanding music
during the ceremony. Everything was so
wonderful and we truly appreciate you and all of
your help selecting the music, and dealing with
the stress of not being able to really rehearse
with Chelsea (vocal soloist)! I will be
sure to recommend you to anyone I meet that
inquires for ceremony music!"

keyboard beautifully! He worked wonderful with
my wedding coordinator to set up cues to make

wonderful experience working with Piano
d'Amore!"
Amanda V
Ceremony and/or Cocktail Hour/Reception
“I had asked Dillon to play at my wedding ceremony and reception.
All I could say is that he made my wedding very memorable. He is a
wonderful pianist, and everyone at the wedding enjoyed listening to him
play. What made my wedding perfect was Dillon playing "The Prayer" and
my sister-in-law singing as I walked down the aisle with my father. It
brought tears to the eyes of our guests. At the reception, I had asked
him to play our song for our first dance. It was perfect. He is a very
talented and compassionate pianist and I am very thankful that he was
able do this for me. Thank you again, Dillon!”
Kathy D. (Wedding Wire)
"Dillon was a terrific find. He provided the perfect ambiance for the
occasion, mixing instrumental pieces and vocals to keep the event
moving, fun, and entertaining. He was very professional, inviting my
wife and me over to his house to run through the event and select the
perfect songs. He was very receptive to our ideas, and he even learned a
song he was not familiar with within a few days and played it perfectly.
That evening, many guests commented about what a great job Dillon did. I
wholeheartedly recommend him."
Brian and Lisa D.
(GigMasters)
"Piano d'Amore was not only professional, responsive and courteous, but
he played the piano at the Cocktail hour of our wedding reception
BEAUTIFULLY. We received wonderful reviews from our guests as well. I
requested him to play some traditional Bollywood tunes (from India) and
provided him the piano sheets; and he played them with no trouble at all
and was willing to cater to our taste in music. He receives a two thumbs
up and 5 stars all around from us! Thank you, Piano d'Amore, for adding
a special touch to our wedding"
Milan & Pooja (GigMasters)
"We were
thrilled to have Dillon play and sing for our
wedding reception. He is wonderfully talented
and played a variety of music that we requested.
He even took the time to visit our church, talk
with our wedding coordinator, and come to set up
the day prior to our wedding. He arrived early
to hear my 12 year old son play violin during
the musical prelude before our wedding, spoke to
my son about music and played my son's special
requests. He even learned a new piece that I
requested for the reception! Dillon was a
fabulous addition to our wedding party and I am
so happy that we found him--he helped make our
day special! "
Susan L
(Wedding Wire)
"Your music
was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Ken
and I are still in afterglow. For me - well I
loved the first dance with everyone blowing the
bubbles and then joining us. Selecting
Unchained Melody worked out so well that we
could fit of that all into one song. You
know that if I have the opportunity, I will
recommend you with five stars. Again, thank you
so much for making our special day even more
special."
Pamela B.
."Dillon
did an excellent job with the music for our
cocktail reception. He arranged all of the music
the way we wanted, communicated well, arrived
early for setup, and performed professionally.
Everyone loved the music! Thanks so much for
giving our event a beautiful musical backdrop!"
Chris L. (Gig Salad)
"We want to thank
you for playing at our cocktail hour on our wedding on August 8th. We
received very positive feedback from our guests and my father in
particular really admired your music. Thank you for learning the Indian
songs as well. We really appreciate that you were able to master them
before our wedding. We will definitely reach out to you if we are ever
in need of a pianist again!"
Diya C
"Dillon is not only
an amazingly talented pianist but also a kind man. His music is one of
my favorite memories from the wedding - I'm wholeheartedly recommending
Dillon and I'm so grateful for everything."
Raluca I (The Knot)
Memorial
Celebration
"Dillon provided
music for my mother's memorial/life celebration. We were extremely happy
with his services. His performance was very nice and set the perfect
tone--my mother would have really enjoyed it. He was very responsive
over email. He provided a sound system for our use during speeches,
which saved us from having to rent a separate one as the venue had no
system. His rates are also very reasonable--I would call him a steal!"
Jennifer C.
"Thank you so much
for the great music! You truly did honor my father and if he were there
he would have turned to me and said, "You made the right choice going
with this guy. If I throw anymore events in the future and need
live music, you are the person I'm going to call."
Susan M.
"DILLON WAS VERY
NICE TO WORK WITH. He even went how of his way to help my grand-daughter
with a piece of music she sing during the performance. His talents are
very good and I will recommend him to my friends."

through the necessary hoops needed to comply with the Congressional
rules for parking, loading in, etc. The music he played was perfect! I

have entertainment at the event. He was pleasant, professional and
talented. I will definitely use Dillon again and I would absolutely

met our expectations. He was extremely professional and did not require
