Excellent!

Richard was very good at communicating prior to the event; he arrived early to ensure he knew when music was to be played during the program; he played beautifully and there were many compliments from people who attended and heard him play.

Excellent Pianist!

I hired Richard for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Richard was accessible and very helpful in finalizing the songs my husband and I wanted for our ceremony. He took the time to learn them and even played samples over the phone and was open to any adjustments to the arrangements. Everyone loved the music and he added such a special touch to our ceremony. Additionally, Richard was timely, professional, and played beautifully. He even took the time to come to our rehearsal the day before to make sure the music was timed correctly for the ceremony, which was really going above and beyond! I definitely recommend hiring Richard for your event!!!

Accomplished pianist

With only one rehearsal and then mixed signals in speed and volume; Richard was readily adaptable.

Richard played at my daughter’s wedding shower this past weekend. He is a talented musician and consummate professional. His selections were perfect and his music created such a joyful, peaceful backdrop to our luncheon. I am grateful for Richard’s contribution to making our event so special. I highly recommend his services.

Wonderful Piano entertainment to class up any event.

Richard played piano for a surprise 10Y anniversary party I threw for my wife in Stamford, CT. He was easy to work with, reasonably priced for a great value, and showed up on time and dressed the part for such an occasion. He knew just what to play as the party flowed and everybody had a wonderful time. Would absolutely recommend Richard for any event big or small to add class to your gathering of loved ones.

Amazing Experience!

I would recommend Richard to anyone. He was always responsive when I reached out, understanding when I had to move the time of the cocktail hour, and overall an amazing musician. He played for the cocktail hour at our wedding, and our guests are still raving about how much they loved his musical selections, kind demeanor, and overall talent. I would hire him again for an event in a heartbeat!

Wonderful!

Mr. Devens came to play at our Friday afternoon party for the day after my son’s wedding celebration. He is professional, polite, independent and an excellent pianist. He provided us with background music on my piano making our party more festive.
