We hired Arnie recently to play for a cocktail party in our home. As a professional musician myself, I was worried that hiring someone I didn't know personally was going to be difficult. Well, no worries. Arnie is the best kind of professional: easy to communicate with, warm and friendly, and an excellent musician. Having Arnie in our home behind the piano really made the party. You're in great hands with Arnie. His musicality and musical taste are excellent. Our highest recommendation. More...

Arnie Abrams was great to work with!! I searched extensively for a pianist for my cocktail hour, and saw all of the 5 start reviews for him, so I knew I'd be in good hands. Arnie is so knowledgeable and talented! Many of my guests had so many compliments!! He replies to your emails in a very timely manner and is very professional. I was only able to meet with him briefly on my wedding day, as we were getting pulled in all directions for the day, but from the music I heard and how my guests were so happy, I can honestly say you should book him for your next event! Thank you again Arnie, for the beautiful music and helping to make my wedding extra special :) More...

We were fortunate enough to have Arnie play at our cocktail hour during our wedding this past Saturday. To say he a professional you can depend on is an understatement. His talent and playing is par none. Frankly, we could not have done any better at any cost. The guests enjoyed his talent and it made the evening so enjoyable. I highly recommend him to all, book him now, enjoy his talent later. You will be happy you did! More...

He played for 4 hours continuously at our banquet celebration and got rave reviews from all our guests. Plus his cost is very reasonable for the quality he delivers. A good guy too!

From the ease of booking to the fabulous entertainment I could not have asked for a better experience. Arnie arrived early to set up and even played a few warm up songs for us. His smile, keyboard, and singing lit up the room. Arnie played a wide variety of songs, took requests, and encouraged our flower girls to dance the day away! He even queued up song requests during his break. I received tons of compliments on Arnie. Book Arnie for your next event, you won’t be disappointed! More...

Arnie was absolutely amazing. From the day I reached out, way back in 2019, Arnie was polite and extremely responsive. When our May 2020 wedding was postponed Arnie was very understanding and gave me no trouble about moving to a new date. Our wedding went off without a hitch. Arnie learnt 2 new songs for our ceremony and played them both perfectly. Our cocktail hour was also perfect, he played wonderful songs all our guests enjoyed. If you are looking for a pianist to play at your special event do not hesitate to hire Arnie, you won’t be disappointed. More...

Arnie was absolutely wonderful and lovely and played so beautifully during our ceremony. He was extremely responsive during the wedding planning process when discussing song selections and was so helpful when we were unsure of what to use for our main precessional son for the groom, best man and MOH since it would take up a majority of the precessional. He offered suggestions and even pointed us toward music he recorded so we could take a listen. He also played my song (the bride) for the walk down the aisle beautifully. Working with Arnie was seamless! The best part too for us was that he joined us for some of the cocktail hour and we found out his wedding anniversary was that same day! If you need a skilled, personable and enthusiastic pianist for your wedding look no further! More...

I would recommend Arnie to anyone of my friends or family getting married. Our wedding was on 5/31/19 and our guests are letting us know a few times a week how wonderful Arnie was!
Arnie even learned a newer song to perform for when our ceremony was over for me and my husband to walk out to.

What do you love most about your job?
I love working with couples to help decide the music for their wedding. This, along with helping them navigate through other issues (I've been doing this for quite some time) like venues, logistics, and communication, make the whole process very rewarding for me.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Initially, I just wanted to perform for weddings and parties, but as my gigs increased, knowing that I have the bandwith and musical connections to provide folks with the best musicians available, and at reasonable prices, was my inspiration.
Why should our clients choose you?
I can safely say that we have the most professional and talented musicians in the metro New Jersey/NYC/Philadelphia area. My small staff of performers are not prima donnas - they all were carefully hand chosen by me alone to make sure all boxes were checked in terms of talent, professionalism, and desire to perform and delight clients.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
In 2020, I did lots of live streaming events and recorded sessions right from my living room with professional equipment and my concert grand piano. I will continue to do this, in addition to those live events of course, to make sure brides and grooms, as well as other clients, enjoy the treat of live music.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
All of our musicians maintain social distancing and wear masks. We're VERY careful when it comes to health and safety, especially now.
