Mariah & Casey are both Congressional Aides who booked Aaron from Washington D.C.!

"Dear Aaron: Casey and I wanted to let you know that we are both very pleased that we chose to hire you for our July 8, 2006 wedding at the downtown Harvard Club in Boston.   Thank you for a job very well done. Truth be told, you offer great bang for the buck! Our guests said wonderful things about your piano playing during our cocktail hour, which unfortunately we couldn’t hear (because we were in our private reception). We were lucky enough to hear your performance during our reception, which was stellar. We very much appreciated your low-key emceeing style, your attention to detail (you correctly pronounced all of our very difficult names!), and the way you selected songs. Also, your unique approach of playing genre-based sets eliminated the abrupt transitions between songs so characteristic of most other DJs, kept people on the dance floor, and created great continuity throughout the evening.   Best of all, you were totally receptive to Casey and I – our musical tastes and preferences (e.g. play and do-not-play lists). I will forever be grateful to you for keeping country music out of my wedding, despite all the requests you surely received!   You exhibited great professionalism and sound judgment. Thank you for your hard work and for being a genuinely nice person.   It was a pleasure to work with you, and I would be happy to serve as a reference for future clients."

"To all people looking for a musician/DJ for a special event: I knew prior to my wedding that the person in charge of entertainment really can make or break a wedding. I have been to weddings that were truly awful in the past, and therefore made it a priority to find someone who knew what they were doing. My wife and I could not possibly be more satisfied with the experience we had with Aaron Topfer. Aaron did everything right: he was impeccably professional, organized, and concerned with making the day perfect. He spent time talking with us, getting to know us, and developing a sense for the kind of event we wanted, and I felt as though he really cared to make our day as special as he could. Aaron is a musician, and he, along with several other musicians, played at our ceremony, the cocktail hour, and initial dinner. The grace and class they added to our celebration was priceless. They played beautifully and appropriately for the occasion, and really enhanced the mood and enjoyment of our guests. Following this, Aaron turned into a DJ...and he was truly terrific. Aaron perceived, through conversations he had with us and through our request list, the exact kind of music and the kind of party we wanted. He let our preferences guide the day, and he truly provided a party that felt genuine and our own. Furthermore, with his tremendous music knowledge, he was able to come up with suggestions and thoughts that were in-line with our tastes and preferences---songs we did not even think about before talking with him, but which fit in perfectly. And throughout it all, he remained professional, service oriented, responsible...in short, I cannot say one bad thing. Aaron works hard and cares enough to do a great job, and he has the talent to match his commitment. We were very lucky to have him."

"Aaron: We wanted to thank you again for your first class service as our music provider for our wedding reception. Though Greg and I were off site for photographs during the cocktail hour, we've heard so many compliments from our guests regarding the piano music you played. Not only did they love the selections, but thought the volume was perfect as well (which is a very important factor, especially during the cocktail hour!). Now for the Reception! You did an amazing job following our requests of likes and dislikes. You played a wide range of selections but they seemed to appeal to just about everyone. You even got Greg to dance...and he doesn't dance...EVER! And, in addition, excellent work at keeping the evening moving along. From the toasts to the last dance, you announced each event in a clear and professional way. Lastly, we wanted to thank you for being easy and fun to work with. We will gladly offer your contact information to any and all of our friends who are looking for a talented, professional musician/DJ."

“Dear Aaron:   Thank you so much for performing at our wedding on October 28, 2006, at the Dan'l Webster Inn in Sandwich, MA. Not only did you perform our ceremony music, and light jazz piano during the cocktail hour, you were our DJ and master of ceremonies during the reception. I can't imagine anywhere else that a bride and groom could get such great service all in one place!! The first thing that struck us on our wedding day was how professional you were throughout the evening. You were not overpowering like some other DJs tend to be. During the reception, you played a great variety of music that appealed to everyone and you followed the instructions we gave you perfectly. So many people approached us afterwards and commented on how much they loved the music and what a fun time they had at the wedding. We will definitely be recommending you to everyone we can. We couldn't have done it without you - thanks again for help making it such a special evening!! --Sincerely, Ruthie and Steve Withers”

"Dear Aaron: I am writing to express my thanks for the wonderful jazz band you put together for our wedding and the excellent job you did as the DJ and Master of Ceremonies at the reception. Boolie and I loved everything you did and could not ask for anything more. In addition, I am writing to strongly recommend your services to future brides- and grooms-to be. Please use this letter for whatever you need. Boolie and I were married on January 7, 2006 at the Stoweflake Resort & Spa in Stowe, Vermont. Aaron, and the band he organized, was extremely professional and talented, his equipment was high quality, and his product top notch. Our reception took place in two rooms – a dining room and an atrium for dancing. This allowed us to fully utilize Aaron’s services. For dinner Aaron organized a four-piece jazz band and for the cocktail hour and reception he was our DJ and Master of Ceremonies. Boolie and I took a hands-off approach and allowed Aaron to do what he does best – entertain. We met briefly about a year and a half before the wedding to discuss our tastes and let Aaron do the rest. As promised, he took care of everything. His band arrived on time, well dressed, and ready to play. Our guests loved the live dinner music and some local folks even asked for Aaron’s contact information at the end of the night. Aaron’s DJ and Master of Ceremonies services were equally professional and high quality. Our guests enjoyed his music so much that we extended the reception by one hour. This did not present a problem for Aaron as he was willing and prepared to go as long as needed {With NO extra fees}. Finally, and most importantly, Aaron went out of his way to add a personal touch to our wedding music. Months before the wedding, my wife mentioned a song by an obscure, New Jersey-based band that we wanted as the last dance. We agreed to bring a copy, but forgot to do so in the hectic weeks before the wedding. Luckily, Aaron had already located and purchased the CD without our knowledge and surprised us with the song for our last dance. It was the little details like this that made our wedding great. It goes without saying that great music goes a long way toward making a wedding fun and memorable. It is equally important, however, to hire vendors like Aaron Topfer who are talented and dependable. Therefore, I highly recommend Aaron Topfer’s professional services for your wedding and other events as I would certainly hire him again for my next event."

"Aaron lived up to all of the referrals and our expectations. He was extremely professional, sometimes forgetting that he was there because we he was so not “in our face”. For the ceremony he did an exceptional job playing live piano, accompanied by our friend playing the flute. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to hear the piano music he played for the cocktail hour since we were taking pictures, but everyone raved about him. Dinner music was very appropriate and non-obtrusive, and for the reception, he provided a rockin’ fun time. He played all of the songs we requested, and did a great job of fading out our too-long first dance song. When he noticed that some of our guests were leaving around 10:30, he recommended that we do our “last dance” song sooner rather than later, which people enjoyed (it was a Friday night or a long weekend). He continued playing until midnight, but by then we were all pretty spent after a fabulous night of dancing and fun!"

"Dear Aaron, Thank you so much for your services at our wedding! Our guests raved about the music and what a good time they had! Michael and I were extremely pleased as well, we thought the entire day was perfect. Your piano playing was beautiful during the ceremony and cocktail hour. During the reception, your emcee skills were great and the music you played definitely brought everyone to the dance floor! I would highly recommend your services to anyone having a wedding, especially if they want the entire musical package, it makes life alot easier!! I would also strongly urge couples to use a musician, rather than a dj company, when researching their wedding needs. Thanks to you, we had the elegant, classy, and fun wedding that we dreamed about!

"Dear Aaron: Erin & I would like to thank you very much for doing such a wonderful job as the organist & DJ for our wedding on September 10th, 2005. From the moment we met you, everything was handled expertly and professionally. Your organ playing during the ceremony was sensational...we received several earnest compliments from our guests regarding the music. And we can''t thank you enough for accommodating our request for a violinist on such short notice {less than 2 weeks before the wedding!}...it really enhanced the feel of the ceremony. Your performance as a DJ at the reception was superb. You were professional and unobtrusive, but were also able to command the guests'' attention when needed. You were very good about keeping Erin and me, as the well as the rest of the wedding party, informed of logistical details. The announcements went very smoothly. And I know Erin and I may have been a bit unique with our very specific playlist...we''re very thankful that you didn''t mind sticking to it! Everyone clearly had a blast! Thanks again for all your efforts. We feel very fortunate to have found you for our wedding. If we have an opportunity to hire you again sometime in the future, we certainly would not hesitate to do so. We are more than happy to recommend you to others as both an organist and a DJ. Thanks again."

"We were extremely pleased with our choice of Aaron Topfer as our Pianist and DJ/Master of Ceremonies for our wedding on June 18th, 2005. We were looking for a DJ who would create a fun and festive environment without taking over and being the center of attention, and we definitely found that in Aaron. We were worried that our family and friends would be shy to dance, but to our pleasant surprise Everyone Danced and had a Great Time! Aaron accomplished this in a very professional manner, letting the Music do the talking . Our guests ranged in age from young children to adults in their eighties, and the music choice as well as volume was enjoyed by everyone. The music he played reflected us as a couple, but he was flexible enough to accommodate our guests'' requests without embarrassing us. Aaron also played the ceremony music with skill and professionalism and worked well with everyone involved in the planning process. We really cannot imagine the day having gone any better than it did, and we believe that the music played a large part in that. Thanks Aaron!"

"This letter is in regard to Aaron Topfer, musician and DJ/master of ceremony. Mr. Topfer was hired to perform at our wedding on August 13, 2005, in Vermont. Our first contact with Mr. Topfer was approximately one year before the wedding. We initially found his web page while performing a search for wedding musicians. Living in Colorado, much of our planning was done long distance, and not being familiar enough with the area we were to be married presented a difficult and potentially frustrating or failing task. Therefore, rather than sifting through the phone book and choosing an unknown name without any identifying factors, we turned to the web. We both assumed our search would turn up empty, or present us with quality individuals who were either too expensive or too far away. Fortunately, this was not the case with Mr. Topfer. Several things influenced our desire to contact Mr. Topfer. To begin, his web site listed his background, credentials and his travel radius. All of which were pleasing, but what really drew us in were the testimonials from previous clients. Many of them wrote wonderful, honest stories about their experiences, and each strongly endorsed his work . After contacting him, we immediately knew he would be terrific. Not only were we impressed with his professionalism, but also with his willingness to work with us, offer suggestions and provide examples and anecdotes from previous weddings. In particular, was his ability to understand our personalities and to meld them with our reception size, location, and time of day to formulate a musical template for the event. Our wedding day was wonderful for several reasons, and Mr. Topfer certainly contributed to that. Always professional, he arrived early and was set up well before the ceremony. As a pianist, he was spectacular as he guided the ceremony through the prelude, processional, communion and recessional. Throughout the cocktail hour, he continued to play a wonderful array of contemporary and classic music, and in doing so established the mood for the afternoon. In addition to this, he emceed the reception and was our DJ for the evening. Throughout the day, Mr. Topfer was a truly vital presence and well exceeded our expectations. Without hesitation, I give Aaron Topfer my highest recommendation, and would encourage anyone to seek his services. Not only is he a wonderful person to work with, but his work, preparation and professionalism are unmatched. It is a pleasure knowing that when we look back to our wedding day, he will be one of the individuals who made it truly special."

"Aaron Topfer recently provided piano and DJ services for our July 29th wedding. During the course of our engagement Aaron was extremely prompt, courteous, and professional. He was quick to respond to emails and phone calls and really seemed to care about the service he was providing. He was also extremely helpful in helping us select our music and set a timeline for the evening. In addition we were able to benefit from participating in his referral program which was a huge benefit. On the day of our wedding Aaron arrived on time, was dressed professionally, and handled himself with the utmost professionalism with our other vendors and guests. The ceremony music was fantastic and from what I hear from our guests the cocktail hour performance was just as good. During the reception Aaron kept us informed of the timeline of events and handled announcements and toasts gracefully. He also checked in with us periodically to make sure we were satisfied with the way things were going. During the course of the night he was able to keep the dance floor going by reading the crowd and playing appropriate music. Aaron was by far one of our best and most professional vendors and I am happy to recommend him to anyone looking for either piano or DJ services."

"Dear Aaron: Rob and I want to thank you so much for providing us with outstanding service as a Pianist, DJ and Master of Ceremonies at our wedding on September 30th, 2005 at the Lighthouse Inn. It was a pleasure meeting and working with you during the months prior to the wedding, and we greatly appreciated your vast knowledge of music, your flexibility, and your talent -- you are a true professional. We feel that our wedding day was magical and could not have been more perfect, and that was in great part because of you. The piano music you played during the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful, you kept the timeline moving along very smoothly, and got everyone dancing right until the end, including myself. I will never forget walking down my aisle of rose petals and hearing you playing "Love of My Life" by Jim Brickman on the piano -- it was one of the best moments of my life. My friends and family members are still talking about how much Fun they had and how impressed they were with the Music! If the opportunity arises, which I am sure it will, we will highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for DJ Music for their wedding or private function -- we know they will be very happy and pleased, just as we are. Thank you, Aaron, again for doing a great job and for our beautiful memories."

"This letter is to give high recommendation to Aaron Topfer as a Musician, DJ, and Master of Ceremonies for any Special Event. We hired Aaron for our wedding in September 2005. We found Aaron to be a complete professional during all stages of planning up through the evening of our event. He gave special attention to understanding the types of music we wanted at our reception and the level of interaction we wanted him to have with our guests. He designed the evening to customize to what we wanted and as such was extremely easy to work with. One great thing about Aaron is that he only books one event a day and so he has was able to stay late without additional charges. Our reception started out with a cocktail hour in which he played piano and he also hired a stand-up bassist. The live music was a nice mix of jazz and added that special touch of class to our wedding. As the Master of Ceremonies for the night, he facilitated the movement of our guests all evening which was great and allowed the activities of the night to flow extremely well. After dinner, he became our DJ and he had everyone dancing for hours and it was a Blast! Our guests had a Great Time and I Still receive compliments on how great the dancing was! Aaron is a classy professional, dressed in a tuxedo and brings no props and leaves the partying to the guests. We were thrilled with him and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a great mixture of Live Music as well as a DJ. I am confident you will not be disappointed."

"I have the distinct pleasure of writing a Letter of Recommendation for Aaron Topfer. I hired Aaron to perform as a Pianist & DJ/Master of Ceremonies at my wedding in October. I was highly impressed with Aaron's services and what he had to offer. Aaron consistently met and often exceeded my expectations with his level of professionalism. Aaron was diligent and hard-working. Seldom have I encountered someone as straight-forward and open in his style of work as he. Aaron is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and seems to have an excellent rapport with people of all ages. His accessibility and means of communication were always open. Aaron was enthusiastic and dedicated to making my wedding a success as much as I was. His displayed reliable work habits that should calm any bride's nerves. He is efficient in planning and was always punctual. He worked with us to ensure that everyone at our wedding was entertained. His performance was outstanding. He did a very good with keeping the evening moving and his choices in music had our dance floor packed all night long . In summary, I highly recommend Aaron for any function. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone more dedicated than Aaron, and I recommend him as a rock-solid addition to your wedding."

"I was incredibly impressed with Aaron's knowledge, professionalism and amazing attention to detail. Music selection was very important to me. Aaron assured me he could completely customize my wedding with all my music choices from the ceremony through to the reception. After just one conversation with him, I had complete confidence in his ability to effectively DJ our wedding. I did not need to shop around. Moreover, his demeanor and ability to customize to our wedding needs balanced with his attentive and supportive nature which made dealing with Aaron so easy. It is rare to find someone so accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Not only did Aaron DJ our wedding and meet every detail of our requirements, but he also did a wonderful job of playing the organ during the ceremony, and playing the piano during the cocktail hour. We have had many people comment on how beautiful and special our wedding was, but the one consistent comment is how brilliant the music was and how talented Aaron is. He did a fantastic job keeping everything on schedule and ensuring that the entire dance floor was covered. On a side note, my husband and I were totally clueless on the musical needs during a traditional wedding ceremony. Aaron knew exactly what we were looking for, and within minutes of our first and only meeting, he was able to, on the spot, articulate and play samples of what we were looking for and help us to choose the perfect music for our ceremony. Aaron has an uncanny ability to make one feel extremely comfortable and help direct the entire wedding process in a gentile professional manner. There are lots of things that did not go as planned on our wedding day, but we knew Aaron would not let us down. Aaron was sincerely the most stable, trusted part of our wedding process, and I really appreciate how comfortable he had us feel. I am happy to recommend Aaron and more importantly, I would use him for any musician or DJ needs in the future.

"Dear Aaron: We can't tell you how many times we've heard that our wedding was the Best and Most Fun wedding that people have Ever attended! No matter how much planning and attention to detail that one puts into that day, you can never dictate how much fun your guests are going to have. That can only come from the professionals you've hired...mainly location, musicians & DJ/Master of Ceremonies. While we loved having our wedding at The Coonamessett Inn, they didn't get our guests out on the dance floor nor are they responsible for the resounding sigh of disappointment that came from the dance floor when you announced the Last Dance and end of the party! Aaron, we would recommend you to anyone who was looking to hire you as their Pianist & DJ/Master of Ceremonies in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our day such a success. We couldn't have asked for a better day."

"Aaron, Just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for being our wedding pianist and DJ! The keyboard sounded great during the wedding ceremony and in the reception hall during the cocktail hour. And thank you for being the DJ at our reception! It helped that we sat down with you prior to the wedding to discuss likes and dislikes to help you gage what type of music to DJ. You were also able to pick up on the music tastes of the guests and adapt as needed. We were very impressed both with the quality of music you played and your professionalism. Since the wedding we have received numerous comments from family and friends telling us how much they liked your music. The reception hall also asked for your contact information so they could recommend you to other couples looking to have their wedding at Loon Mountain . When we first started planning the wedding we were debating whether to go with a band or a DJ. We found that you provided the best of both worlds with live keyboard during the ceremony and cocktail hour, then DJ at the reception. The quality of music was exceptional and truly pleased our guests, all without breaking the bank . We found that you were also very prompt and organized, which made planning music for the wedding day much easier. Again, thank you so much for making our day so special. We enjoyed working with you and would recommend you to anyone in the future!"

"Aaron did an absolutely wonderful job. We couldn't have been happier with him. He did a great job with the wedding processional/recessional on his piano. Timing, speed, volume, everything was just perfect. My husband and I did not get the opportunity to meet with Aaron prior to our wedding. All Aaron had to work with was a list of a few songs and some bands. Aaron was able to read the audience, and play the appropriate songs at the appropriate times. Thank you, Aaron, for doing such a wonderful job. Everybody kept commenting on how much they liked the music. You also did a great job with the few announcements we asked of you. I would highly recommend you to any event."

"Dear Aaron, Bob and I would like to THANK YOU for doing such an amazing job at our wedding. Your piano performances (with the saxophonist you hired) pre-, during, and post-ceremony were so beautiful. The music had set such a perfect atmosphere for us. You played the Bridal March in the version I had wanted - romantic and beautiful! Not to mention, "Unforgettable" was indeed an Unforgettable Piece! Many guests had complimented how beautiful the music was. You were ever so calm and flexible with our requests. Since we were planning the wedding from out-of-state, it definitely helped to know that we had found someone who is very reliable, professional, talented, and easy-to-work-with. You were so willing to answer all our questions, meet our requests, and provide helpful ideas and suggestions about the music that we wanted for our special day. During the reception, you were so attentive -- I was so surprised and glad when you actually came to me at the dinner and asked if the volume of the music that was playing during the dinner was okay -- actually, it was perfect, Aaron! It was not too loud for anyone to carry a conversation yet we were still able to enjoy the music in the background. You were exceptional the whole time during the reception. You made the best music selections that catered to all our guests. We had such a good time dancing, and the fun atmosphere you created could not have been any better! You kept things so organized and ran the "show" flawlessly. We have recommended you to several families and friends in the area. Don't be surprised if you are called up regarding your professional music services for family reunions, anniversaries, and weddings! Once again, we want to thank you for everything that you have done to make our special day memorable and beautiful."

"Dear Aaron: We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for the wonderful job you did as the DJ/Master of Ceremonies for our September 25th, 2004 wedding. Your professionalism and performance was unlike any other musician we have encountered. We were also thrilled to have a Jazz Trio led by you for our cocktails and dinner. It was so nice to have live music during our cocktail reception. We were also amazed at the seamless transition from the outdoor cocktail reception to the ballroom where dinner was served. There was no lapse in music, something which both our guests and we deeply appreciate. We cannot thank you enough for the terrific dance music you played. Our dance floor was packed all night and we have received numerous compliments from guests regarding the music selection. We also want to acknowledge you for abiding by our wishes and not playing songs that we specifically requested not be played. Guests have told us that they made certain requests that were not approved by us and you very politely told them that the bride and groom had asked that that song not be played. They were amazed by your professionalism in handling the situations and respected you for honoring our wishes. It was an absolute pleasure working with you over the course of the planning process. You were always available for questions and returned calls or e-mails very promptly. You gave us some great advice based on your experience and we are truly grateful for that because we think it contributed to a very memorable wedding. Perhaps the single most important thing that we will be forever grateful to you is your willingness to work with our dear friend Terry who sang our father/daughter and mother/son dance songs. Recognizing that it is not easy to work with a soloist whom you have never met, we cannot thank you enough for being so flexible and accommodating. That truly meant so much to both of us and it is a memory we hold dear. Aaron, thank you again for providing the best reception music he have ever heard. With large families, we have been to many weddings and your performance does not compare to any others . We hope to have the pleasure of attending a function in the future where you provide the music."

"Dear Aaron: We want to thank you very much for providing both the ceremony and reception music for our August 7th wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and the soloist and violinist you arranged to accompany you were wonderful! We have had so many compliments from our guest on how beautiful the ceremony music was and the piano music during the cocktail hour and dinner provided the perfect background sound, while not overpowering our conversations. Once the dancing began, the dance floor was full the entire night! Thank you for making our special day so memorable! We would recommend you to anyone organizing a classy event who is looking for a Musician & DJ/Master of Ceremonies that is professional, pays close attention to detail, arrives well in advance to ensure the arrangements and sound check are correct, and will customize the music based on the customer’s request. Thank you again!"

"I am writing this letter of recommendation for Aaron Topfer because I couldn't be more pleased with his services as the pianist and DJ for our wedding. At a wedding, the music is absolutely crucial. It sets the tone for the entire evening. It was very important to my husband and me to find just the right person. We were married in Bennington , Vermont , and are from New York . We were worried we wouldn't be able to find what we were looking for long distance. We were very lucky to have found Aaron who travels to the entire New England area at no additional cost. We were looking for a DJ that was going to be low key and unobtrusive. He was exactly what we were looking for. He kept the evening flowing without being overbearing. We received numerous compliments from our guests about Aaron. His piano playing during the cocktail hour was charming and beautiful. The guests were gushing over the ambience the piano created. He is truly an accomplished pianist. Not only were his services at the wedding stellar, but every contact I had with him in the months prior to the wedding, were most pleasant. He has a way of putting you at ease, and as any bride who is planning a wedding knows, it is important to be dealing with someone who is knowledgeable and informative, as well as accommodating, with a way of letting you know that everything will work out just fine. Aaron truly wants to make your day the way you have envisioned it. It is with no reservation that I would highly recommend the services of Aaron Topfer. He is a professional of the highest degree and a pleasure to have done business with." Thanks Aaron!!!

"Hi Aaron, We wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding music. We both enjoyed your piano music during the ceremony and multiple guests mentioned to us how beautiful the piano music during the cocktail hour was (we were getting photographed so unfortunately didn't hear this part). We were very happy to have so many people on the dance floor , and I know you had more that a little to do with that! Finally, we thought playing our wedding song again for us at the end was a really nice touch. We felt a lot more relaxed then and could enjoy it more. Thank you very much for everything! We will certainly recommend you to our friends and family in the Boston area for future events. Sincerely, Julianne and Dinekar"

"Dear Aaron: Julia and I want to thank you once again for your outstanding musical services during our wedding reception in Newport (RI) last November. We were extremely impressed with your flexibility as we rescheduled the start time of the reception at the last minute and changed the order in which the wedding party would enter the reception hall. At a time when we worried about everything else, we knew the music was in good hands. Our guests loved the piano music you played during the cocktail hour and we will never forget your piano accompaniment to the Best Man's toast. It really made the moment! We were also grateful for your ability to play so many DJ requests and to keep our guests dancing until the staff at the reception hall had to kick us out. A Terrific Time was had by all our guests due to your wonderful DJ/Emcee Services! Thank you again for a memorable reception."

"Dear Aaron, Ryan & I both wanted to thank you so much for a fabulous job done at our wedding. The music was just beautiful and so much more than we could ever hope for. You were so organized and professional. I was at ease right away knowing we had such an expert handling our music. We have heard the music had everyone even dancing at our cocktail hour. Once again, we can't thank you enough for being a part of our special event. My parents are already looking forward to having you back someday when my sister settles down. Thank you again!"

"To Whom It May Concern: This letter is to recommend Aaron Topfer's Music Services for any special event. He is a musician & performer of a very high degree of quality. In addition, he is a gentleman to work with, prompt, professional, & dependable. When choosing music for your special moments, my wife and I strongly recommend Aaron's services. Our daughter, Melissa, was planning her Vermont wedding (where we live) from Iowa . She had found Aaron on the Internet and got an immediate response from him. Because my wife and I were coming to Boston for a Dental Conference on the same day that Aaron was performing at the Boston Ritz-Carlton Hotel , we decided to hear and meet him ourselves. We were glad to find an excellent performer and a person who seemed easy to work with. He already had spoken with Melissa and knew almost all of the details of the wedding even before we talked to him. A few months later, when Melissa came home with her fiancée for Easter, we saw Aaron again. We all drove down to Boston from Vermont to coordinate and finalize the exact music for Melissa's special day. Aaron knew all of the pieces that Melissa had picked and even played many of them on the spot for her. We all felt confident and secure knowing Aaron was in charge of the music. Finally, on the Wedding Day itself, I was glad to see Aaron setting up hours ahead of time. It was reassuring to see him already there and ready to go. Needless to say, the music at the Ceremony & Reception was exceptional and very festive. We were all delighted with Aaron's music from start to finish and it truly added something spectacular to our daughter's big day."

"To Whom It May Concern: Aaron Topfer performed at our rehearsal dinner on October 17, 2003, and our wedding on October 18, 2003. For our wedding, he played piano, accompanied by a wonderful violinist he recommended, for our ceremony, cocktails and dinner. After dinner he performed do/emcee duties. Both my husband and I were extremely pleased with all of the services Aaron provided for us. We were unable to meet with Aaron in person for the planning, but through emails and phone conversations, he was able to get a feel for the tone we were trying to set and thus the type of music we were looking for. His playing was beautiful and the music selections were exactly what we wanted. In terms of his do/emcee portion of the services, we did provide Aaron with a specific play list, which Aaron did play (I think he was also able to figure out our tastes from this list and incorporated that into his piano selections). Aaron was a professional emcee for us as well. We did not request much in the way of emcee duties, and Aaron was true to our request and was not intrusive at all. Additionally, he was open to requests from our guests and was very accommodating to them. I cannot begin to say how pleased we were with Aaron. When I look back on the wedding now, I know he was integral to the ceremony and reception being beautiful and wonderful. He has helped leave us with great memories of such a special day in our lives. Sincerely, Sarah and Peter A. Wolf"

"To whom it may concern: We learned of Aaron Topfer through The Country Club in Brookline two years ago when we returned to Boston after having been gone for many years. They recommended him highly. We needed music for some of our many events held for the Department of Surgery, Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center - someone very talented, able to perform music from a variety of genres, accommodating, and reliable. We needed someone we could come to know and count on for many occasions, and who would be able to locate other artists we might need or want for a variety of locations and events. He has been a joy to work with. He will provide the music you choose or, if you prefer, be sensitive to the situation and produce his own. He has, indeed, even found us a harpist when we wanted something a little different. We have been extremely pleased."

"Aaron: Just a note to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our Wedding Ceremony and Reception. When I was walking down the aisle, hearing you play brought a smile to my face and made my nervous butterflies subside. Your timing, tempo, and professionalism were exceptional. At the Reception, our guests commented to us how very much they enjoyed your music. Your song selections and repertoire were vast and it was as if you played something special for every person of every different taste in music in attendance. We thank you again for playing for us, and we want you to know how much joy you added to our day. When we watch our video from that day, we are reminded how lovely everything was set to your music."

"Dear Aaron: I wanted to send a note thanking your for your musical contribution to our wedding. We were so happy with the choices you helped us select. Everyone thought the music was lovely, and your music was an integral part. Initially, we were anxious about selecting music for our ceremony. We did not know any selections by name, and were afraid that any planning session would be long and painful. We were so pleasantly surprised how easy and fun it was with you! Any concerns we had about figuring out what to play and when to play it were swept away as you went through many different selections for us! We were able to hear each piece and decide if it was for us. You had great ideas and were sensitive to the kind of wedding we wanted to have. Good luck in the future and feel free to use this letter as a recommendation from us to whomever may be thinking about hiring you for their event! Your professionalism and promptness helped make planning our wedding easier."

"I am writing to recommend Aaron Topfer for any event that may require a musician or performer. He is an extremely professional and experienced individual who provides a Classy Style to any occasion. Moreover, his Prices are Very Reasonable, especially for the High Quality of his performance. My wife and I booked Aaron for our April 2003 wedding. He played both for our reception at Searles Castle in Windham, New Hampshire, and at our ceremony in a local church. Though we were planning our wedding from the West Coast, it was always very easy to reach Aaron, either by phone or e-mail. When we traveled back East to make final plans for our event, he was very flexible in working around our schedule to go over music for our day. For our reception, we were interested in having a trio. Aaron presented us with numerous options from which to choose, thus allowing us to tailor our event. He had several vocalists send us their samples, and from the quality of their singing, it was clear that Aaron has very high standards for those with whom he works. We were extremely impressed with the breadth of his musical abilities and the quality of his performance. At our ceremony, Aaron played various selections on the organ and demonstrated obvious experience. He also arrived early to the church to ensure everything was in place and to make final coordination with the minister. Directly after the ceremony, he proceeded to the reception for the cocktail hour and played a range of music on the piano, including Ragtime, Classical, and Light Jazz. During dinner, the members of the trio arrived: a bassist and a vocalist. From our first dance until the last song of the night, they did a remarkable job. We had sent Aaron a long list of musical requests: a wide range of songs from Swing, all the way to Modern Rock and Dance Tunes. Throughout the night, they played them intermixed with others that fit with the mood of the event. In conclusion, I must say that we were entirely satisfied and pleased with Aaron Topfer's work. We continue to receive many positive comments from our friends and relatives who attended the wedding. He truly added a perfect atmosphere to this special day. It is very clear that Aaron takes great pride in offering the highest quality service. He was always prompt to respond to our requests and took care of every detail so that we did not have to worry. In every respect, he was professional and his performance, along with that of the trio, was of the highest caliber."
