Client Testimonials
My husband and I hired Lark Knowles Music to play at our wedding reception and we are SO HAPPY we did!!
Lark and Jess’s performance put everyone in a cheerful mood, and they played a great mix of songs that everyone enjoyed.
We got so many compliments from our guests about how talented they were (seriously, so good)! We were going for the dueling piano vibe and they definitely executed it!
Lark was friendly, extremely kind and flexible, and super easy to work with. We’d recommend Lark to anyone looking to add something truly special to their celebration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of music do you play?
We cover popular hits and timeless classics from the past 80 years—everything from Etta James to Billie Eilish, from The Beatles to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Cranberries to Alicia Keys! Our unique twist is our live piano and drums setup with rich vocal harmonies and the occasional guitar piece that brings a fresh energy to every performance.
