We hired Arnie Abrams to play the piano during our ceremony. He was very helpful by providing a list of songs that are popular for weddings and also provided his own personal ideas for options. Unfortunately, Arnie had a family emergency and was not able to perform at our wedding. Thankfully, he has other musicians on his payroll and Arnie sent one of his employees to cover for him. Charlie did an amazing job filling in for Arnie, and even handled my special request of "Together At Last" for our recessional. Based on the recordings Arnie has on his website and Charlie's live performance at our ceremony, I'd recommend them to anyone for their wedding ceremony.

Arnie did a fabulous job entertaining our family and friends at our small wedding reception (around 70 persons). His piano music was great background during dinner and his playing on the piano and keyboard (as well as his selections from his iPod) got people on the dance floor after. I didn't really think we had a dancing crowd, but, watching our wedding video, I see many of our guests on the dance floor in the front of the venue and still more dancing away in the back of the room behind our tables. Arnie was really great about learning a special song for a friend of ours to sing; he also was very accomodating when a couple of our other guests wanted to belt out some tunes. His own singing of our first dance song was very special, too. I highly recommend him.

We hired Arnie to play for our ceremony which was at the Crystal Ballroom at the Radisson Hotel in Freehold. He arrived on time, actually a bit early, and collaborated with our Minister the timing of events, processions, etc. Although Arnie had asked us for our music choices we decided to allow him to pick the selections for the ceremony as he is the professional. We were glad we did. He did a phenomenal job and is a brilliant musician. He added that extra special personalized touch to our ceremony and we received so many compliments on how wonderful the ceremonial music was. Thank you Arnie for helping make our day perfect!

Arnie – Thank you for providing that virtuoso performance at our wedding reception. You made the evening flow so exceptionally well with the selections of music you provided. You certainly exceeded my Bride’s and my expectations! You are a top of the line, number one, professional performer. God Bless you! Sincerely, Dean R. – Molly Pitcher Inn - Wedding 9/15/12

We just got married, yesterday! Arnie was the best. From the initial contact via e-mail to actually meeting him and hearing his music live for the first time at our wedding. He is responsive to both e-mails and phone calls. Arnie plays wonderfully, is extremely personable, and as a "side note" ... LOL his fee is extremely reasonable and is not a clock watcher. He is wonderful at "reading the crowd" and can easily switch from keyboard to piano. Anyone who hires Arnie Abrams will not be disappointed if you are looking for a warm and intimate setting. He ABSOLUTELY helped make the day one to remember!

Arnie was EXCELLENT!!! Very accomodating and professional, always available for questions/suggestions during the planning process - a real gentleman. Arnie provided beautiful music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and we heard so many rave reviews from our guests! Thank you again, Arnie, for sharing your talent and helping to make our wedding day perfect! Cheryl & Brad , 4/27/12

Arnie played our wedding's cocktail hour, and he really helped set the mood for the afternoon. His choice of songs was excellent. I wish there had been more time for me to stop & listen!

What a great way to start my wedding. From the time I walked in with Arnie playing What a difference you made in my life and through out the entire time the music was beautiful. Everyone commented on how great the piano player was. I would highly recommend Arnie for your event. Thanks Lucille & John

Arnie was wonderful, from start to finish! We were looking for someone to play at our ceremony and keep our guests entertained for our second wedding/brunch, and who understood the mood and feeling we hoped to create...an intimate, easy, informal, fun, and yet still classy celebration...someone who would keep the celebration moving, and ensure that despite not having a typical "reception" with DJ/band, dancing, etc, guests would be sure to enjoy themselves. Arnie delivered on this beutifully, and "got it" from our very first phone conversation. He was easy going, reassuring, and flexible, and has so much experience on which to draw that he knew right away what to do and how to create what we were looking for, even when we weren't entirely sure ourselves. Guests repeatedly told us what a great time they had, how much they enjoyed the music, and how much they enjoyed Arnie himself. He is friendly, warm, engaging, and refreshingly spontaneous, and he is willig to be as much (or as li... Read morettle) of a presence as you'd like him to be. Personally, we wanted Arnie and his music to be showcased, not "background", and it was extremely enjoyable for all. But Arnie is unpretentious, and perfectly content to be "background" too if that fits your style/vision better. No matter what your preference, Arnie is willing and able to deliver. He is accommodating, easy-going, professional, helpful and extremely responsive. He is heart-warmingly reassuring whenever the inevital "snags" that come up in planning almost any wedding arise, and almost always has ideas and suggestions for how to make things work so that you don't have to stress much at all. If you are fortunate enough to have Arnie play for you and your guests on your special day, you won't be disappointed. You honestly couldn't find a better guy. He is talented, can play a hugely versatile range of music, and in all likelihood, he will feel more like family by the time your event is over than a "vendor," and you will be happy to have shared your special day with him. It's not always easy to find vendors who are both extremely good at what they do, and yet are so genuinely pleasant to be with. You should scoop him up, if you have the opportunity!

Mr. Abrams provided beautiful piano playing for all of my guests during our cocktail hour for our wedding. He has an amazing wealth of memorized songs from so many genres that delighted all of my guests. He took requests and played beautiful for the whole time. I am so pleased that I found his website, and I would call him again for an event in a second!

Arnie was so easy to work with and so responsive. My guests loved his music and I was so glad that I hired him!

Arnie's music and professionalism were outstanding. He was such a pleasure to deal with in every way. He answered and returned phone calls right away. He was solicitous and responsive in determining what music we wanted to play at our wedding and his music was FANTASTIC. We, and all our guests, loved his piano playing, his singing and the seamless transitions to occasional recorded music. He was the best and I would highly recommend him.

Arnie Abrams was a wonderful addition to our cocktail hour and sounded absolutely beautiful on the piano. He was wonderful to work with and highly recommended!

Arnie was absolutely amazing! My wife and I hired him to perform at our cocktail hour and couldn't have been happier. As soon as we arrived at the country club we could hear piano playing and light conversation in the background, it was such a joy and we were both so impressed. Arnie is very responsive, showed up prior to his scheduled time and was always professional. He took requests and interacted with our guests, and by doing so brought our cocktail hour to the next level. When I first found Arnie's website, I kept saying I want to hire him, and I almost waited until the last minute. I am so fortunate he was available because it was a part of our wedding we will never forget. We definitely recommend Arnie's services.
