I have 30 years of experience as a professional pianist and an extensive repertoire of over 800 songs from classical to contemporary. As a full-time musician working in Los Angeles since 2001, I have maintained long term residencies at luxury hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. Prior to Covid shutting down the restaurant and hospitality industry, I had been a resident pianist at Hotel Bel-Air for 4 years. Additionally, I played piano for all kinds of events including charity galas, corporate events, weddings, birthdays & holiday parties. With the pandemic putting the pause on most live events, I’ve been doing live stream concerts and have been performing live for virtual events (over Zoom) multiple times per week. (See more specifics about virtual events below.)
My wife and business partner, Kim and I pride ourselves in providing top level service to our clients. I bring my lifetime of experience as a professional musician and Kim brings her business acumen and attention to detail to every client we work with. We work with you to determine the best music for the event. Whether you have specific music in mind or would like suggestions and guidance, we will make sure the music fits the mood. My extensive repertoire includes:
We are experienced in working with all kinds of clients including professional event planners, production companies, entertainment booking companies, DJs, caterers, corporate clients, celebrity and high-profile clientele. Bottom line, we can work within whatever professional parameters may be required.
About 80% of the events I play are solo piano. I don’t sing as a performer, but I’m great at facilitating sing-alongs and creating a fun party atmosphere. Of course, I have some fantastic singers that I work with and I accompany featured singers at events whether it is a wedding or a big gala. We can also create a “piano-oke” (karaoke with live piano accompaniment) party which is a lot of fun. (See more specifics about piano-oke below.) I am honored to work with some of the best musicians in LA and can create ensembles that include:
We can also assist with your equipment needs. We can provide:

“As a venue owner and caterer I have recommended Jeremy on several occassions to entertain at client events. In this type of relationship my concern goes beyond Jeremy being extremely talented…he is also reliable and excellent with interacting with the host / event planner. Bottom line is, if anyone asks me for a referral for a pianist…I always recommend Jeremy.”
– Ron Hobbs of Castle Catering and The Romanesque Room
When planning a wedding, most people hope to incorporate exceptional touches that will set their special day apart. Your wedding deserves the perfect music throughout, including creating an ambient backdrop while guests are being seated, stirring emotions of the bride’s walk down the aisle, celebrating the joyful connection during cocktail hour, and creating a romantic stage for the happy couple’s first dance.
I can play solo piano or assemble an ensemble (violin or cello are most popular choices). Have a friend that wants to sing a special song accompanied by live piano? I will help your friend shine with live piano accompaniment.

As a professional pianist and speaker, I have the experience and skills to level up and liven up your virtual meeting or event. We have invested in professional equipment for virtual events including microphone, audio mixer, webcams and lights. My live piano music is sure to enhance your event and I can collaborate with your host or emcee to make them pop. I can also assist with emcee functions by introducing other speakers or provide transitions to event elements. Here are some ways music can be incorporated into your virtual event:
From corporate holiday parties at iconic venues to social gatherings in private residences, the holiday season is the busiest time of year for us! I am regularly brought back year after year to play for corporate and social events alike. Be it classy and sophisticated or casual and jovial, you can be assured that I will create the perfect ambiance for your event. I can play traditional Christmas music or non-secular music of the season either exclusively or in addition to the large variety of other music in my repertoire. Want to get people singing around the piano? No problem! Lyric sheets to many popular Christmas and/or Hanukkah songs can be provided. Make your holiday event one your guests will remember!

For over a decade, I have developed a forte for performing at charity galas where the aim is to entertain, tug at heartstrings, and ultimately raise money for great causes. For an event of this type, I prepare in advance by reviewing the show flow and script to determine the perfect pieces of music to play for speakers and honorees as they enter and exit the stage as well as transitions and other key moments during the show. During the show, I often never leave the piano to ensure the flow of the program remains uninterrupted. My years of experience in this arena have given me a great ability to follow cues, adjust on the fly and improvise. In addition to playing solo piano as needed throughout the event, I can also accompany featured vocalists performing for the event (see video above) or assemble an ensemble of musicians.
“Jeremy Weinglass is not only a total professional, he is a creative master and an incredible musician. I have had the pleasure of hiring Jeremy for numerous Honeysweet events ranging from small private events to large high ticket non-profit galas. He has played classical, pop, jazz and big band music for me. He has performed his own compositions – most recently for a very moving “in memorium” moment for Stop Cancer. He is always impeccably dressed, on time and well prepared. I highly recommend this very gifted artist.”
– Erick Weiss, President Honeysweet Productions
If you’re throwing a party and looking for something a little different, we offer something – we call “Piano-oke.” It’s like karaoke but instead of a recorded track, I’m providing live piano accompaniment to the singers. It’s a ton of fun and creates a very engaging party experience. The video above includes some clips from a fabulous 50th birthday celebration that we did a couple years ago. For this type of party, Kim usually comes along to assist with the lyrics. Get in touch with us to see what kind of magic we can create!
“Jeremy created piano bar karaoke for us last weekend for a 50th birthday, and it was an absolute blast! From the accompaniment to the technical aspects he was a pro. His song list is extensive. He can do it all, from rock classics, to Broadway, to brand new new hits! It was astounding, and he accommodated obscure requests from our group. He is excellent at reading the room, and helping the flow of the party. He was such a sport with our silliness. Looking forward to working with him and the wonderful Kim Weinglass again someday!”
– Katie Thomas, Encino

We have produced many events at various venues throughout California, including:

– John Halcyon Styn, Hugnation
I am excited to be forging a path that combines my two greatest passions on the same stage to inspire audiences by delivering “Keynote Concerts.” I have been a Toastmaster since 2013 and earned my Distinguished Toastmaster Award (DTM) in 2018. I have been a featured speaker for a variety of organizations including Rotary clubs, Kiwanis clubs, retirement communities, Big Brothers Big Sisters and UCP Wheels for Humanity. I have been the featured performer at various corporate events performing on the piano while also providing entertaining banter with the event host. I am passionate about sharing life lessons, communication tools and inspiration through the lens of music in a unique and engaging way.
Some of my speaking topics include:
“Jeremy delivered an incredible keynote filled with great messages and music. Our group truly appreciated Jeremy sharing with us his message and experience. We learned new things, perspectives and how to recognize opporTUNEities. The meditation at the end of his keynote to “unlock our inner musician” was great and it definitely inspired us to connect in this “grand symphony of life.” Jeremy is a pleasure to work with and definitely one of the few talented speakers I know and have worked with that connects with his audience flawlessly and sincerely. His expertise and ability to tailor his talks to any audience musically is amazing. I will definitely reach out to him again in the future and highly recommend him for your events.”
