What services do you offer?

Diane works as a wedding musician and entertainer at cocktail receptions, private parties, corporate events and nursing homes. She also provides musical ambiance at restaurants and taverns, and worship music at churches, handling everything from happy holiday celebrations to somber celebrations of life and funerals. Where venues do not already have a keyboard, Diane supplies her own as well as a sound system suitable for the venue. Services are available 7 days/week from 10 am - midnight as her availability allows.
How much do you charge?

Fees are based on location, the length of your event, the type of music (special requests), and travel fees may apply if you are more than an hour’s drive away from the Keene, NH area. She offers price breaks so that the 2nd hour is less expensive than the 1st, and the 3rd is less than the 2nd, etc. The average wedding that includes 30 minutes of music as guests arrive, ceremonial music, music as guests depart, and then a 1 or 2-hour cocktail reception while photos are taken would most likely cost between $650 - $750 without travel fees. On the other hand, a typical party where Diane had to provide her own keyboard and sound system would average $150 per hour before travel fees.
What makes you different?

Diane has been a professional pianist and singer since 2008 and has entertained at dozens of venues over the years, including steady repeat gigs at fine dining restaurants and has been providing worship music at the Bennington, NH Congregational Church since 2014. She is reliable, prepared, seasoned, well-practiced, and most importantly, she is musical with a profound sensibility for which songs are most appropriate for any given event. Her repertoire includes 100s of songs from various genres including: Classical, the American Songbook, pop, soft rock, country, folk, spiritual, light jazz, and over 75 seasonal holiday favorites, making her incredibly versatile. What’s more, she’s willing to perform both indoors or outdoors provided the venue has a flat, dry area at least 5’ square with access to electricity, and that is sheltered from the elements.
