"I couldn't have asked for anything better than Denis's performance. Denis
arrived on time, was courteous and sympathetic when the party was delayed, and
played perfectly. It was a 40s theme birthday party for my girlfriend, and
he played standards with soul and precision, both on a piano that was my gift to her and with his own digital set-up. I can't recall a single missed note! And
Denis was charming and sweet. All in all you could not go wrong hiring Mr.
D'Aoust!" Jeff H., Oakland, CA
"Thank you so much for such a wonderful job at our wedding. The music and your vocals were absolutely wonderful." Rebecca & Jeff W., Benicia, CA
"Thank you for helping to make our party such a memorable event. Your music was perfect, and I will certainly give an enthusiastic recommendation to friends and family." Donna P. San Francisco, CA
"Albert and I would
like to thank you for the wonderful
piano music you performed at our
wedding. Your music was fantastic and
amazing! During the long delay you were
able to play so many different tunes without any problem, which made our
ceremony extra special. We have received
numerous compliments from everyone on your performance. Words
cannot describe how grateful we are. We hope our paths will cross again in
the future. Marilyn & Albert S.. Kohl Mansion Burlingame
