Wedding•Reviewed on December 22, 2015•From Minnetonka, MN
Fred was a joy to work with! We are so glad he was a part of our wedding day. At our initial consult, we selected the playlist for our ceremony. He knew every song we inquired about, with no hesitation! He was very accommodating and offered to be present for our rehearsal since we did not have a coordinator. Fred was friendly, personable, and open to all of our ideas. On the wedding day, his piano music brought tears to many eyes; absolutely beautiful! We invited Fred to stay for dinner because he felt like a friend to my husband and I. We have already recommended him and will continue to recommend him to others. Excellent! 5 stars! Thank you Fred!
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 18, 2016•From Saint Paul, MN
Fred was the consummate professional in every sense for a combination birthday/neighborhood party! He delighted the guests, playing instrumental versions jazz standards on a spinet piano. He didn’t need sheet music, so he was able to be more “present” as an entertainer. It was a perfect balance between energizing the party, but not competing with the volume level of conversation. A great experience!

We contacted Fred almost last minute for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. He was more than willing to play for us, quick to answer emails, and made sure the music he played was what we wanted to hear. Fred is very professional, he was in and out without me (the bride) barely noticing, but I would have loved to say thanks! I would recommend him.
Valentine's Day Party•Reviewed on February 21, 2016•From Edina, MN
Fred was amazing in all aspects. He arrived early and started playing as residents were still arriving. He came dressed in attire appropriate for the event, and he was both pleasant and extremely talented. We will definitely ask Fred to to come back for another performance. Thank you Fred!

Fred is exceptionally talented and service-oriented. He exceeded our expectations in both professionalism and quality. He played the perfect songs without requiring too much guidance. His expertise helped me to create a ceremony with excellent flow and sentiment, and he went above-and-beyond as he contacted our officiant to go over all the details. I would highly recommend Fred to anybody wanting a stress-free event!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 11, 2015•From Minneapolis, MN
Fred was absolutely AMAZING. Not only is he an exceedingly talented musician, he worked with us and accepted with grace several frustrating last-minute changes. In a moment of sheer brilliance, he even underscored the moment my bride and I saw each other for the first time on the wedding day. It added so much to an already resplendent moment. I will be going to Fred first for all my live music needs in the Minneapolis area. A consummate professional and a brilliant musician.

We can;t say enough great things about Fred. He's courteous, an excellent and timely communicator, and an experienced and talented pianist! We really loved working with Fred on the music for our wedding ceremony. During the initial meeting he played a bunch of songs, even ones he played on the spot based on our feedback. His preparation for and playing during the event were perfect. We got many compliments on the music from guests. Top marks!
Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on October 7, 2014•From Minneapolis, MN
Fred Yacono is simply awesome. He is so easy to work with, personable and professional. He is totally accommodating and eager to please his clients. He is also a spectacular pianist, both technically and musically. We could not be more pleased with our experience with Fred. We would definitely recommend him. We listened to a lot of pianists in the Twin Cities, and Fred his head and shoulders above the rest.

Wine Tasting Party•Reviewed on November 7, 2014•From Minneapolis, MN
Fred was extremely professional from the first phone call to our good-bye after the event. I knew I was working with someone who took his business, and our event, seriously. It was a pleasure working with Fred, and I'm sure we'll use him again. Only next time we'll ensure he gets a much better tuned piano with all keys working 100%!

One of my biggest clients, Julie Bryant of JP King Auctions informed me that she was very pleased with Fred's performance and professionalism at their Home Auction Event in Mendota Heights, MN earlier this week. She told me she is definitely interested in using his services again in the very near future. Thank you Fred for a great performance!

Fred was amazing! He promised us awesome music for our wedding ceremony and he definitely delivered! I was a bride who wasn't sure what I wanted, but knew what I didn't and Fred helped guide me to some wonderful music (with a short time frame too). Our guests loved him, and so did my husband who wasn't able to make it to the consultation. He helped make our wonderful ceremony that much better! Thank you!! I would definitely book him again if I could do it all over. =)
