About

My name is Daniel, and I am a professional pianist and music coordinator from LA with over 20 years of experience as a wedding professional. Mixing classical training with modern arrangments, I discovered a passion for wedding music. My clients are free to choose any song they desire, and I will compose a beautiful masterpiece with a romanticism that will be cherished by everyone in attendance.

Here is a condensed list of some of the artists that I have performed during past wedding ceremonies:

Elton John, Adele, Bruno Mars, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Michael Bublé, Justin Timberlake, Benny Benassi, Taylor Swift, Billy Joel, Radiohead, Fleetwood Mac, Jack Johnson, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, Train, Coldplay, Ellie Goulding, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Neil Young, Van Morrison, John Mayer, Prince, David Bowie, and more

In my experience, I have found that some brides know exactly what they want and others need some guidance in designing a set list. That is why I take a hands-on approach, discussing favorite genres of music and curating an elegant repertoire that fits their description of a picture perfect wedding. I am 100% committed to delivering the highest level of musicianship and customer service to all of my clients. Not only do I take pride in my playing ability, I want the music to be unforgettable. If this sounds like what you are looking for, send me an inquiry, and let's get started!

Absolutely Phenomenal

Daniel was my favorite vendor we worked with for our wedding! The most talented musician I’ve ever met. The music he played for our ceremony was so beautiful, and exactly what I wanted. We wanted a special song played, and the arrangement he came up with brought me to tears! He is a true genius. He was professional, responsive, and beyond talented. You will not be disappointed!!

Hired Mr. Pappas for Oct 2014 Wedding and Reception

I hired Daniel Pappas out of California in 2014 to play piano for my wedding ceremony and reception in Dallas Tx. I shared the ceremony piano pieces for the wedding prior to the event to play during the ceremony, He attended rehearsal, we had to add / change a piece of music in the ceremony, he learned and memorized it in a matter of minutes. Ceremony was perfect and then drove over to the reception to welcome people from the wedding with piano song. He just new what to play and what people wanted to hear and to draw people to gather at. Even if you don't have music or no matter the change in the event, he is a master at improvising. He is the most talented piano player i have ever seen. All 200 people at my wedding just kept saying how amazing he played, and 7 years later people still talk about his performance at the wedding and reception. In addition to his amazing piano skills, he is full of charm, intelligence, humor and adds joy to any party. I recommend his service to any kind and or size of event.
