Review by Cori E.
Wedding•Reviewed on December 9, 2024•From Minneapolis, MN
Sharon was absolutely amazing, showed up early, connected with our wedding Pastor and Singer and this was an absolutely last minute booking as we lost our musicians 10 days before. She saved us! Her music choices were phenomenal. She went above and beyond and we were so thankful!
:
Cori, your daughter's wedding was beautiful. It was a pleasure performing music and accompanying your vocalist. I loved your song choices! Thank you to you and your daughter for being so responsive to my questions prior to the ceremony. I realize you had a lot of pressure to pull together the music on such short notice. I was happy to help! I wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday Season!

Review by Adam M.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 9, 2022•From Saint Paul, MN
We came to Sharon for our wedding with ideas and thoughts on how we wanted to incorporate her music into our ceremony. She was incredibly collaborative (especially given we were in a different state and chatting over Zoom!), and eager to learn the new songs that we brought to her. She was extremely thoughtful and communicative throughout the process, and we always felt like she knew what we were looking for and we were in good hands. On the day of our wedding, Sharon did an excellent job, and contributed significantly in making the ceremony very special for us. I would absolutely recommend Sharon for any event.
:
Dear Adam, I appreciate you thoughtful review. It was fun getting to know you by zoom to hear your thoughts and to plan your music. It even more fun finally getting to meet you in person on the day of your rehearsal and wedding! I love the new songs that you introduced to me. They are now part of my ongoing repertoire that I can share with others! Your wedding was truly wonderful. I wish both of you every happiness!

Funeral•Reviewed on August 6, 2022•From Minneapolis, MN
Sharon is a consummate professional and provided the ideal experience for our memorial service. She provided her website with a list of available songs and also took recommendations from the family. She was transparent and prepared about the preparation process and pricing, making the experience very easy for us. I would highly recommend Sharon for your event.

Rose, Hiring me to provide piano music for the family was such a thoughtful gesture on your part. Thank you! It was a pleasure meeting with the family to plan the music and learn about the wonderful person that was being honored. It was a beautiful service and I appreciated having a part in celebrating such a special person.
Review by Lynae T.
Wedding•Reviewed on January 26, 2022•From Saint Paul, MN
Sharon is such a gem! She went above and beyond for us. I found a song I LOVED that I wanted for our ceremony and when she couldn't find the sheet music she tracked down the composer and got it from her directly. I was blown away. On top of that, she was so kind, hard working, professional and reliable throughout the whole process from our initial contact until she played on our wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough!
:
Lynae, I loved the music you selected for your wedding. I, too, was delighted that the composer shared her song with me. Your vocalist performed the song beautifully! Having met you by Zoom, it was a pleasure finally meeting both of you in person on your Wedding Day. You are a wonderful couple and I felt honored to have had a part in your wonderful celebration!

Review by Emily C.
Wedding•Reviewed on May 31, 2021•From Minneapolis, MN
We are so happy we hired Sharon for the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding! During the planning, Sharon was incredibly communicative and helpful-- she played several pieces via zoom which really helped us conceptualize the ceremony. Undoubtedly, she is a gifted performer. Additionally, she was so accommodating with my family and had several suggestions we incorporated into our ceremony. She went above and beyond to make my day perfect. I HIGHLY recommend hiring her!

Dear Emily, It makes me happy to know that you were pleased with my music. I enjoyed the wonderful musical talent in your family and had a great time accompanying your aunt's flute performance.

Review by Kathleen S.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 30, 2019•From Saint Paul, MN
Sharon was amazing to work with for our ceremony music, and her talent, professionalism, and repertoire are the best in the business. We were able to meet ahead of time to run through the songs and this was also helpful to us to structure the ceremony too (since we had a first time officiant). She was excited to learn some new songs and performed them beautifully. Our guests freaked out when they heard Star Wars: The Force Theme on the piano (played during our unity ritual). She was very helpful at our rehearsal and added such great energy to our big day. It was well worth it getting Sharon as our pianist! Sharon, thank you for everything!
:
Thank you, Kathleen! Your wedding was beautiful and I felt honored to be your pianist! I appreciated your willingness to communicate with me throughout your wedding music planning process. I wish the two of you a wonderful life together!

Sharon Planer's piano performance added so much to our wedding reception’s cocktail party and event. Planer is a talented, gifted pianist who is poised, lovely and classy. Her music set the beautiful and magical tone for our reception and greeted our guests in just the way I had envisioned and hoped. I would highly recommend Planer to anyone looking for a pianist for a special event, she delivers!

Review by Nicole E.
Wedding•Reviewed on September 23, 2018•From Elk River, MN
Sharon was excellent for playing at our wedding. She fulfilled all of our wants and needs and went above and beyond with working with us for our special requests on music, especially with learning a new song and tweaking it the way we wanted it to make my walk down the aisle even more enjoyable. She also was very accommodating with dealing with a last minute change in our ceremony plans. We could not have asked for better entertainment for our party!
:
Nicole, I appreciate your review and am happy that you were pleased with my music! Your ceremony song was fun to learn and your lists of cocktail and dinner music helped me create the perfect atmosphere. Your outdoor wedding and reception couldn't have been more lovely! I wish both of you much happiness in your new life together!

Sharon was an absolute professional and a delight to have at our wedding. Not only did Sharon learn special requests before our event, she was professional in every sense of the word.

Sharon,
Thank you so much for the beautiful music that you played for our wedding ceremony. It was just as I imagined it would be! I was so nervous planning everything from miles away, but your music bought everything together and made our day perfect! We cannot thank you enough. Love, Carvel, Amery, Amy, and Zyan.

Dear Carvel and Amery, The garden was a perfect setting for your intimate wedding. Your ceremony and the music that you asked me to perform was a beautiful reflection of your love. I found it especially touching when you danced to a special song that you requested. Thank you for allowing me to share my music on your special Wedding Day! You are a beautiful couple and Amy and Zyan are precious! I wish you and your family a wonderful future together!
Review by JoAnne A.
Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 17, 2018•From Edina, MN
I really appreciated Sharon's flexibility! She came on time, provided her own equipment, dressed well and didn't require a lot of direction once she arrived. We ended up changing the schedule of the party events (when we needed the music) and she went right along with the flow. We also asked if she would play the music for musical chairs and she came through playing a great variety of songs that allowed for a lot of cheer and laughter. So many people approached our group and mentioned that our party was one of the best they had every seen and Sharon's music was a HUGE part of that. Thank you Sharon!
:
JoAnne, I am delighted that your holiday party was such a success! I enjoyed the enthusiastic participation from your employees. Everyone was so good-natured and in the mood to party! I loved the musical games that you planned and appreciated how well your employees responded to the music. It was such fun to be your pianist!
