Rieko's Reviews

5 out of 5

Rieko's piano playing was absolutely exquisite. She created a lovely atmosphere at our yearly luncheon, with some of my favourite tunes like Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. Our guests really enjoyed having the live music. I would highly recommend to hire her. If you want a charming young lady playing at your event, get in contact with her!

We had a lovely time hearing Rieko play. Perfect music for the occasion and made my mother's birthday very special. Thank you for playing Clair de Lune and some Mozart as we requested, they were beautiful. Cannot wait to hear you play again.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I will try my best to be flexible. Please give me as much notice as possible!

How much time do you need to set up?

I would like to arrive at the venue at least 30 minutes beforehand to greet you, get acquainted with the space and try the piano onsite.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

At the moment, I do not own a portable keyboard/piano. Please make sure your venue has a piano & have it serviced/tuned for the occasion if possible.
