Fundraiser•Reviewed on June 10, 2019•From Downers Grove, IL
In one word...FANTASTIC!!! Andrew played for a school fundraising event at my home. He was prompt, professional and so much fun! 100% of the tips were donated back to our school and we raised $400 that night. Everyone was impressed by his playlist and he definitely kept the energy up the entire evening - no one wanted the night to end. We will be hiring him again for future events. No doubt about it! THANK YOU, ANDREW!
:
What a FUN night! You and your husband were so nice, and I had a great time playing in your brand new outdoor space. Let's do this again soon! (although the Christmas party might have to move indoors)

Andrew did an incredible job playing the piano for our ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on NYE 2021! He played everything that we asked for and with passion. Our guests were very impressed. Highly recommend.

Madeline -
It was an honor to play for you and Matt, and the ceremony and reception were beautiful. And it's not every day I get to play "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" as a recessional!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 12, 2021•From Wales, WI
Andrew was wonderful to work with! Communication before our event was excellent. He was extremely professional and easy to work with! Andrew was able to play all of our requests--he is a very talented pianist. I would highly recommend!
:
Thanks, Kristen! I had a great time being a part of your daughter's wedding... and I can't wait to play for your *son's* wedding next month!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 31, 2021•From Hartland, WI
Great job entertaining during a cocktail reception. Played the genre of music we selected. Very extensive playlist. Easy to work with.
:
It was a pleasure to play for such a big birthday party, in such a beautiful club! I'm glad I got to play their nice piano, and provide the "cocktail ambiance" before the jazz combo began. Thanks, Marie!

Private Party•Reviewed on June 5, 2019•From Chicago, IL
Andrew exceeded all expectations. He is a superior musician, communicator, and professional. He saved the day with his flexibility, and professional ease. He gets the highest rating. Exceptional.
:
Charlotte, it was a *pleasure* to accompany your daughter! She is *also* a professional, so best of luck to her in college! I hope I get to play for her (and you!) again sometime.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 28, 2019•From Rosemont, IL
The story:
I'm a vocalist from Connecticut, Stevelipmanmusic,com (also listed on Gigmasters) and nabbed a high end corporate gig in the Chicago area. Prior to this event, I had never performed with Andrew, however once we started digging into the music, you'd never know it. Andrew made the logistics of the event so easy, he was so accommodating. He found both a bassist and drummer to complete the lineup. He brought sound, mike stands, etc. More importantly, he took the time to prepare for the event. He organized the set list I sent him and studied it thoroughly. By the time we hit the second or third song it was as if we had all had worked together for years!
:
Stephen, I loved playing for you! It was easy to put that combo together, and you fit in with us perfectly. I hope we get to play for you at next year's conference too!
Review by Wes M.
Private Party•Reviewed on June 12, 2018•From Hoffman Estates, IL
Andrew played great. He was very flexible to meet our logistical challenges. His breadth of songs and ability to adjust to the mood was spot on.
:
Wes, your logistical challenges were just fine - I was happy to take a break for a magic show! I had challenges of my own that day (performing with a cold), but I hope I was still able to create a nice atmosphere for you and your family. Thanks for having me!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 28, 2018•From Homewood, IL
Andrew was so much fun! We hired him to perform for my 40th birthday party. His personality is kind and helpful so we knew he would give us what we wanted for our party.
The night of the party he came to my home and talked with all the guests which got everyone ready to participate. He used my piano and brought a small sound system with a mic. He turned my living room into a piano bar! He took requests and played everything from Elton John to Schoolhouse Rock to Drake! I couldn't have asked for anyone better for me and my eclectic group of friends. Andrew was the perfect mix of professional and fun. I would HIGHLY recommend Andrew Blendermann.
:
Donielle, you and Roseann threw a GREAT party! I was so excited to fill your living room with music, and your friends and family (especially your mom!) were there to have fun with me. Thank you SO much for having me, and I'll come back and play Drake for you anytime!

Funeral•Reviewed on November 7, 2017•From Dixon, IL
Andrew was wonderful. Followed up with phone call to church organist. Played and sang all parts of the mass with a choir he had never seen. Did an amazing When the Saints go Marching in. He was great to work with and a talented musician.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 18, 2017•From Wheeling, IL
Words can't express how wonderful Andrew Blendermann is, not only as a performer, but as an amazing person as well! We booked Andrew for our wedding about one year ago. Andrew continued to stay in touch every few months just to let us know he was getting ready for our big day. Andrew played my favorite instrumental as I walked down the aisle and a Jewish song after breaking of the glass. Andrew practiced a song with me that I was going to sing, but chickened out at the lat minute and he was completely understanding. Andrew brought our wedding to life and I will be forever grateful. His piano playing and voice are so beautiful I am brought to tears each time!
:
You had SUCH a beautiful wedding, and I was honored to be a part of it. Thanks so much for your kind words, and thanks for sticking with me through that year, even with all the changes. I hope to see you and your husband at some of my public shows!

Baby Shower•Reviewed on June 12, 2017•From Crown Point, IN
Andrew was totally professional and was by the book in terms of our contractual agreement. I would highly recommend this man for any event and I would most certainly employ hIm again. The music was perfect for our event.
:
This might have been my first baby shower! So happy I could provide some nice music for you and your daughter - and it was a pleasure to play your piano!

Club Event•Reviewed on June 2, 2017•From Barrington, IL
We loved Andrew. He played at a private pool party and we were having so much fun that we extended him an extra hour. He's great and its incredible the amount of music he has. Very talented. He played for 3 straight hours without any break.
Everyone loved him!
:
Nancy, you didn't mention that your pool party ended up indoors - such crazy rains that night! Still, the screen porch was fun (and packed!). Next time we do this, I'll order some sunshine!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 1, 2017•From Bartlett, IL
We are so pleased with Andrew. He and his sister-in-law, Jen Holcomb sang a beautiful duet together for our son's wedding, and Andrew played the piano impeccably for the remainder. Out of 3 sons, 2 of them got married in less than a year, and Andrew and Jen were our first choice for a musician and singer for both weddings.
Andrew can sing and play, and has an amazing ear & talent for translating it to the piano keys. Last year he also played requests for our other son's rehearsal dinner, which added so much to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Andrew is personable, professional and very gifted. We would not hesitate to hire him again for son #3!
:
I've now played many events for your family, from rehearsal dinners to wedding ceremonies to church barbecues. And it's always an HONOR to be invited, and a privilege to perform. Thanks so much for including us, and we look forward to the next event! (just a couple weeks away...)

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 5, 2017•From Northfield, IL
Andrew Blenderman is amazingly talented and made our party! He is super accommodating and a quick study of not only music, but also the audience. I highly recommend him for any party.
:
WHAT FUN! I've actually played several house parties for high-school age musical theater fans, and they always go over big! After all the Hamilton, Legally Blonde, and Little Shop, I think my favorite part was Bohemian Rhapsody. Who'da thought they'd know every word?

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on January 16, 2017•From Oak Park, IL
Andrew was ABSOLUTELY GREAT for our wedding. He set a great mood during dinner, handled MC duties like an true professional (keeping us on track and while being flexible with timing), and had the dance floor hoppin' afterwards. He was gracious enough to learn an entirely new song for our first dance, which made it a very special moment for us. We had many guests comment on how great he was, and everyone truly enjoyed the wedding. I 100% recommend him for a wedding! -Brian & Bridget P.S. You know your musician is good when everyone is smiling and you can just tell they're having a good time.
:
Brian and Bridget, you (and your huge families!) were a *pleasure* to play for. I loved being able to bring Mike the drummer, and ramp up the energy in the room. And I especially liked learning the Asgeir song for your first dance - I'm adding that one to my repertoire!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on December 11, 2016•From Lake Forest, IL
Andrew stepped in when our initial pianist couldn't play our wedding. Despite our last minute request, Andrew was so kind, accommodating, and professional. He's a wonderful musician and a wonderful person. HIGHLY recommended!!!!!!!!!!!
:
Happy to help, Fiona - I always like when I can solve people's problems, I just like to make it easy for you! And this is the first time I've ever played "Edelweiss" and The Cure in the same wedding. Congratulations to you and your new husband!

We had an amazing time and Andrew was loved by all of our guests. Very talented and lots of fun. Would highly recommend him.
:
Sue, your house party is my *favorite* kind of gig! Your friends were all ready to have fun, and I had a blast helping them belt out all their favorite songs. We'll do this again soon!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 7, 2016•From Morton Grove, IL
My family had another wonderful experience with Blenderful Music! Andrew Blendermann played a wonderful selection of music for my grandmother's 100th birthday and was extremely collaborative and communicative in planning the songlist. His experience, talent, and flexibility was evident throughout, as he incorporated song requests from guests of all ages. I'd highly recommend Blenderful Music to anyone looking to add a personalized, interactive touch to their event. BRAVO!
:
Your family was so fun to play for last year - and they didn't disappoint this year! I'm glad I could reach everyone from your grandmother down to her great-granddaughter. Thanks so much for bringing me back!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 9, 2016•From Des Plaines, IL
Andrew was absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend booking him for any service! He was perfect at our ceremony, and made this process so simple. We had absolutely no stress at all when working with him
:
Teresa, you and David made a beautiful couple, and it was an honor to play for you. I think the church appreciated the classical music - they didn't even notice the Journey songs I snuck in there!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 25, 2016•From Lake Bluff, IL
Andrew is a talented pianist , a pleasure to work with. He was able to adapt to impromptu requests, and to think on the spot with music appropriate to speeches, and a singing toast given by a father of the bride. We highly recommend Andrew for any type of celebration.
:
I'm so glad this wedding celebration finally came together! It was a pleasure to play for your guests, for your daughter (and your new daughter-in-law!), and especially for your husband. He kept saying how fun it was to sing with a live pianist - I know, I do it all the time!
