    Hidden gem pianist in LA area

    I found Paulina when I was doing research for a wedding pianist, and I truly hit the jackpot. I could not have asked for a better experience. I had a lot of big asks and new music but Paulina put so much care and time and energy into making our ceremony and cocktail hour beautiful. She pulled everything off with such poise and grace, and my family RAVED about her the whole next day. Paulina is truly a gem :)

    Amazing!!!

    Paulina was such a great addition to my daughter’s wedding. She was so easy to work with. She had a great variety of music and even added songs to her repertoire to accommodate the particular music taste of my 33 yr old daughter and her fiancé. She is professional and personable and I would not hesitate to hire her again. Such a beautiful music addition - my guests were impressed too.

    Paulina Review

    Paulina is amazing! She’s so talented - she blended right in w our design and also perfectly enhanced the ambiance of our reception. She learned the theme song to one of my and my husband’s favorite animated series and is so sweet, professional, and easy to work with. If I want a pianist for any event in the future, then I’d definitely re-hire her!
