Pianist/Ceremony Musicians

My ceremony musician just backed out, so now I am looking for someone new. I checked the sticky at the top and contacted Panache and Music by Hope (they had the only contact information I was able to find). Does anyone have any other recommendations? 

I'm not freaking out yet, but we are starting to get there!! Thank you all so much for your help :)

    I'm using Hope Hesano of Music by Hope. She was recommended a while back by another knottie.  She's charging $150 to do the ceremony music, and she has other musician partners she uses who are also pretty reasonable.

    ETA: Obviously I am an excellent and thorough reader because you clearly already contacted her and I posted the info anyhow. Sorry!

    They aren't pianists, but I used the Go 4 Baroque string trio and was pleased with their work.

    Why did your musician back out?

    Ditto Hope. Although I've never met her, when we got our wedding video of the ceremony, the music sounded amazing! She did a great job. I had her and a cello player. If her info isn't in the sticky posts, let me know and I'll go dig up her info.

    Thank you everyone for your recommendations!! Hopefully I hear from Hope soon!

    Thanks Emily for the warning, I appreciate it!

    The original pianist broke her hand or fingers or something, so she called me on the way home from the hospital today to cancel. She is having her son drop off our deposit refund tomorrow, she felt badly about the situation but things happen. Hopefully I can find someone new.

    Actually, I just used Panache three weeks ago and had a wonderful experience with their pianist. Jonas is sometimes a little hard to get ahold of but he did a fantastic job making sure I had super top quality musicians who knew their stuff. I found them to be exceptionally professional.
