Schönes Piano
"It was magical. Jürg's accompaniment was simply perfect. We specified some music requests and Jürg timed them perfectly and played them – it made our forest wedding magical. During the aperitif, he played further songs that entertained our guests – not intrusive, not too little – it was absolutely perfect. The entire wedding party raved about it 🙏🏻 Many thanks to Jürg for this wonderful performance"
Pianist-Berne
"Pianist-Berne brought such elegance and emotion to our destination wedding in Interlaken. Planning from abroad was stressful, but he made the process so easy. He helped us select meaningful pieces, and his live performance during the ceremony was absolutely moving. It felt like something out of a movie. He also stayed to play during dinner, and the atmosphere he created was unforgettable. Many guests told us they felt like they were in a romantic film. We are so grateful for his talent and presence. If you are considering live music for your event, do not hesitate—he is exceptional."
Pianist Zürich
"For our wedding in St. Gallen, we hired this pianist and are very grateful for his performance. He was professional, friendly, and very reliable. The music during the ceremony was beautiful and emotional, perfectly attuned to the moment. At the reception, he continued the musical accompaniment with a diverse repertoire that delighted all our guests. Many praised his performance as a highlight of the celebration. His sensitivity, technique, and elegance make him a pianist we recommend without reservation."

"We listened to Iryna playing at The Woodward in Geneva, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her music was so elegant and emotional, and it created the perfect atmosphere for the evening.
You could really feel her passion for the music. It was a pleasure to listen to her and definitely one of the highlights of our stay."

Thank you very much for your wonderful musical accompaniment during our wedding evening.

Furthermore, the booking and preparation process with you was very pleasant and uncomplicated. You always responded quickly and helpfully to our inquiries. Overall, everything was perfect for us.

Mr. Poliak played at our wedding dinner, and we couldn't be happier with him!

The pianist Mr. MICHEL POLYAYK was once again engaged over the Christmas holidays 2023
at our client HOTEL PIRMIN ZURBRIGGEN, Saas Fee VS.
He brilliantly sensed the guests' expectations and, with his
musical skill and empathy, created a contemplative
and enchanting Christmas atmosphere.

Reference for Michel Polyayk
On December 31, 2024, we had the pleasure of engaging Mr. Polyayk as pianist for our New Year's Eve gala dinner at the Sunstar Hotel in Klosters. His performance was a perfect accompaniment to our 7-course menu and contributed significantly to the evening's elegant and festive atmosphere.
After midnight, he managed to engage and entertain our guests for an hour, which wonderfully rounded off the evening. His professional and well-groomed demeanor, as well as his appealing appearance, left a lasting impression on us and our guests. The quality of the music was outstanding and a perfect match for a very successful evening.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Polyayk and look forward to working with him in the future.
Sincerely,
Tobias Georg

Review of Michael Poliak
Perfect from A to Z
Mr. Poliak arrived earlier than scheduled, impressed all of our wedding guests with his excellent performances and refined appearance, and accommodated any requests. He played a Steinway grand piano in the ballroom of Heidegg Castle, which perfectly suited his personality. We would recommend him to anyone. Many thanks again, Mr. Poliak, and see you soon.
