What Event Hosts Say
A few words from clients who booked Iryna for their events.
Iryna played during the welcome cocktail hour for our wedding. She was great to work with and communicated clearly before the event with her intended set list. She then worked with us to refine it to our specific tastes. On the day itself she was punctual, accommodating and played great! We got lots of compliments about her playing. We would fully recommend to hire Iryna to play the piano at your event!

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my home or venue doesn't have a piano?
No problem! I can coordinate with professional piano rental companies in Switzerland to bring a quality instrument to your location. Options include upright pianos for smaller spaces or digital pianos that work well in any setting. I'll help you choose the right solution.
Can you play specific songs that are meaningful to us?
Absolutely! I love learning songs that have personal significance, whether it's a favorite family song, a piece from your wedding, or something connected to the honoree. Share your requests during our consultation, and I'll incorporate them into your customized repertoire.
Do you take requests during the event?
Yes, I'm happy to accommodate guest requests when possible. If it's a piece I know well, I'll play it right away. If it's new to me, I may not be able to perform it on the spot, but I'll do my best to create a warm, interactive atmosphere.
How do you adapt to different types of private events?
I read the room and adapt to your event's energy. For intimate dinners, I keep the music gentle and conversational. For lively celebrations, I can bring more energy and engagement. For multigenerational gatherings, I blend repertoire that appeals to all ages: classics, standards, and recognizable favorites.
How far in advance should I book?
For flexibility, I recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance, especially for weekend dates. However, I'm often able to accommodate shorter notice for weekday events or if my schedule permits. Contact me with your date to check availability.
What if we're hosting outdoors?
I can perform at outdoor events with proper arrangements. This typically requires a digital piano or protective covering for an acoustic instrument, weather contingency plans, and sometimes light amplification depending on guest count. We'll discuss the best setup during planning.
