Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on February 21, 2010•From Houston, TX
When asked about the nights highlights, 98% said"THE PIANIST"! He garnered thunderous applause,standing ovations&sheer amazement. JP delivered EXACTLY what I asked&more! He is outstanding! There is no better pianist,maybe Stevie Wonder! Classical, Beyonce & Kanye West WOW. One of the best decisions I made. JP gives you significantly MORE than what you pay 4, I believe I still owe him. Teenagers were asking 4 his # for their parties & adults! 2 say we enjoyed JP is an understatement. We relished in his performance&the tunes still linger. Thanks 4 your passionate piano playing performance you showed you cared about my special night as much as I. Mr & Mrs Brown

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 15, 2010•From Austin, TX
JP Daine performed at our wedding, and did an absolutely masterful job. We requested 3 challenging pieces for the ceremony, and he practiced for months beforehand to learn them. He is clearly a master at both classical and jazz piano, and deserves great credit for being able to transcend the genres. Furthermore, he was very easy to work with and a consummate professional, and he traveled from Houston to Austin without an additional fee. We had a number of musicians in the audience and all of them loved his playing. The result was a splendid performance that complemented our wedding perfectly. I recommend him heartily to anyone looking for a pianist at an event.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on March 20, 2012•From Houston, TX
JP exceeded our every expectation! My wife and I had our wedding ceremony in the courtyard of Brennan's. JP played all of the processional music and also kept all of our guests entertained during cocktail hour. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word. Thank you JP for everything you did to make our special day so perfect. All of our guests are still raving about how beautiful the wedding was, and how much they loved you. So many good things to say about JP!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 14, 2012•From Galveston, TX
This is the one case where too good to be true does not apply. They were everything we hoped for and more. They literally "made" our wedding reception. We met for lunch to discuss our ideas and they said "give us a feel for what you like and we can adapt". They were right, they played nice soft jazz through the coctail hour and dinner then they got the crowd dancing for the rest of the night. I had so many people come up to me telling me how great the band was. J.P. was a complete professional and a real pleasure to do business with. I would recommend him and his band to anyone looking for a perfect performance for their event.

Quinceañera•Reviewed on October 21, 2013•From Houston, TX
WOW is all i have to say. He arrived an hour early just to be ready! All my guest were in love with his performance. I would definitely recommend him and hire him again. I hired him for my sisters 15 party in the Four Seasons Hotel. They hotel provided the piano in the cocktail room while half of the guests attended the church service in another room in the hotel. JP Daine kept the guests who did not fit in the service entertained until it was time for everyone to enter the Ballroom. Like I said he did an amazing performance and my guests wanted more. Thank you JP Daine!!!

1234 Live Music played our ceremony music and our ceremony music. They coordinated well with my planner and made sure that everything was in line for our big day! We got so many compliments on how "classy" the band was and what a nice touch it was. They played a few custom songs for us and determined ahead of time they type of environment we wanted to keep for our wedding. Terry concluded our reception with an acapella version of Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" that brought tears to the eyes of our guests and earned her a standing ovation. What a wonderful and memorable way to end our reception! Thank you so much JP and 1234 Live Music!

New Year's Eve Party•Reviewed on January 4, 2011•From Pearland, TX
JP has an extraordinary talent first and foremost as an accomplished musician. From classical to smooth jazz and contemporary pop he contributed significantly to a wildly successful New Years Eve party. Beyond that he is an outstanding entertainer and professional who interacted well with all our guests and accommodated numerous special requests. Quite frankly, I have attended many parties that had live entertainment but never have I seen guests as enthusiastic as they were with J. P. Daine including several standing ovations during the course of the evening. If he is available, JP will be at our next event!

New Year's Eve Party•Reviewed on January 11, 2010•From Houston, TX
I have used Mr. Daine at several major events at my residence. His performances are just spectacular and I get more and more questions from friends who have heard him regarding "when can we hear him again". Everything about J.P. is exemplary: His musicianship; His professionalism; His charming personality; His extensive repertoire, never needing sheet music.
I don't have a single caveat about using J.P. If he doesn't please you, no one will.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 25, 2009•From Missouri City, TX
I've known JP for several years, having had the pleasure of hearing him make the piano sing in a number of different venues and have twice hired his band for my private events. JP and his band members arrived in plenty of time to set up in advance of the scheduled start time, sounded beautiful, took guest requests and made my party. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. His featured singer, Terry, possesses as good a voice as can be found in Houston. She also knows how to get the crowd up and on the dance floor. Finally, the fee charged was very reasonable and easily worth the time and talent received.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 6, 2011•From Waco, TX
Jp Daine's Performance was amazing! JP played the piano beautifully at my wedding ceremony and reception. He played classical and contemporary pieces composed of all the songs I requested (including rock songs). His soloist, singer Terry Ely also blew everyone away with her great vocals as he played. JP can definitely rock any event with his piano playing, and having him and Terry there truly made my day magical and special. Every song was perfectly played by JP and sung by Terry, He was also very professional in all aspects and very prompt with time. I definitely recommend JP Daine to anyone hoping to have a classy and timeless event and will use him again!

JP is a terrific player and everyone at our party loved to listen to him. I must have been asked 20 times where I found him. We can't imagine finding a better player with such grace and talent and we enthusiastically recommend JP without a single reservation. He is a pro of the highest order.

Private Party•Reviewed on December 23, 2007•From Houston, TX
Jean Paul is one of the finest pianists that I have come across, not only in Houston but in the United States. I am a pianist myself, and am most impressed by his versatility and the size of his repertoire - it's awesome. He is one of the few pianists that is able to play classical music, jazz, soft roch, country, etc., all with the same level of dexterity and passion. It was a delight to have him play our Christmas party. Without his music the party wouldn't have been a success.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 9, 2012•From Houston, TX
Un-B-Lievable ! JP's lifes work is the mastery of his talent. One, perfectly executed composition of piano music after another. From 'serious' classical masterpieces to pop icons like Elton John, Billy Joel, ...on and on. JP's range was unapparent, no limitation.
JP is dignified. He is a fine musician and entertainer. A true talent and compliment to the entertainment industry. His participation and company at my once in a life time event is and will be cherished memories.
Thank you JP. Our appreciation runs deep. You are an inspiration to us all, and leave no doubt that talent is God given. You are a beautiful talent,and generous artist.
