ConcertReviewed on February 15, 2024From Newark, DE

Steve Rice graced our Valentine's Day event with an enchanting performance that left a lasting impression. His mastery of the accordion transported us on a romantic journey through not just love songs but some original pieces as well. Steve's skillful and heartfelt delivery brought each melody to life, captivating the audience with every note. Accompanied by the talented violist Renee Warnick, their collaboration added depth and richness to the performance. Without a doubt, Steve Rice's exceptional talent and mesmerizing performance made our event truly unforgettable. We will be looking for him for future events.

Steve was excellent! He performed amazingly! We're so grateful that he was a part of our special day. Several of our guests commented on his ability and his song choice--he was definitely a crowd-pleaser! Thank you to Steve for coming out and being a highlight of our wedding, and on his wife's birthday no less!

Steve was amazing to work with. He was accommodating with my bride and groom's music requests, no matter what it was. He was super friendly, professional, and played his music perfectly! I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone, and will be using him again at future events!!!

Steve was the highlight of our event. Our 80 year-old German Mother was absolutely thrilled with his Bavarian Polka Music. It wasn't long before everyone was singing along and out of their seats dancing! We couldn't have been happier with Steve's performance.

FuneralReviewed on October 29, 2011From Kent, WA

Steve, sorry I meant to send this to you earlier. The whole funeral thing was kind of a daze. I've never done that before and don't look forward to doing it again. But I really appreciated your willingness to play for us. I thought the timing of Amazing Grace at the end of the service was perfect, the accordion blended in wonderfully with the mood, and it was very sensitively but professionally done. Thank you very much, Chuck

Oktoberfest PartyReviewed on October 14, 2011From Seattle, WA

Steve was perfect for our Oktoberfest themed event. He is a very talented accordianist, and was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests. Thanks Steve, if we do another Oktoberfest party, we'll definitely be calling you!

Oktoberfest PartyReviewed on October 9, 2011From Kent, WA

Steve was extremely friendly with our guests, in fact during his 15 minute break he sat and chatted with folks who were intereseted in learning more about him. He called the day before the event to make sure there were no last minute requests we had. I will definately be recommending him to other professionals in my field for events and I'm sure we will use him again in the future.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on August 21, 2011From Vashon, WA

Steve absolutely kicked off the start of our wedding celebration to perfection. He performed a wonderful selection of songs that captured the essence of my ethnicity (Croatian gypsy) and shared that with our party guests. I only wish that my elderly Croatian relatives were able to travel from the east coast to polka and fast-waltz right along with Steve, they would've loved it. Puno hvala/Thanks alot Steve!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on July 14, 2011From Woodinville, WA

Steve and his band were timely, professional and most of all FUN. Everyone raved about the music. The trio did an excellent job of choosing songs based on the mood of any given moment. The band really got people going, which was great because we didn't expect anyone to dance! We will definitely book Steve again in the future. We couldn't have picked a better band. Book him! You won't be disappointed!
