Eric Redmond, Pianist

Eric was a great pianoist, his music was awesome. My family couldn't stop talking
about how wonderful he was at my wedding. As I walk in the building I could here
the soft music playing, It really help me to relax and enjoy my special day.

Eric played for our ceremony as well as our reception. The music decision was very last minute but Eric made it all come together just fine without being at the rehearsal. (He had prior engagements the date of our rehearsal). He played songs people liked and sang for our first dance. I would recommend him for weddings or any events where a nice soft ambiance is needed.

It was such a joy working with Eric and Becky. I discovered his services at a Bridal Expo in Gainesville. They were extremely responsive when I inquired about rates and availability... and this responsiveness followed through every step of the way. The music was wonderful and everything went very smoothly. They were extremely accommodating when we had to change our rehearsal time, and even though there was a conflict, they worked to find a solution so Eric could be present. Their professionalism was just spot on. Needless to say, Eric's piano playing was great and we had several guests comment on how nice it was. Their demo CD made song selections a breeze (which was good for us since we didn't have an idea of what we wanted ahead of time). I know he is willing to customize, learn new songs, and sing too, although we didn't take advantage of this. I would recommend his services again and again. I knew I was in good hands and felt completely at ease about using him for our wedding. We were married in April 2010. Cheers!

We were fortunate to have Eric play for our ceremony as well as our cocktail hour. His music is beautiful and was such a wonderful addition to our ceremony. We wanted to stay with traditional music, so we picked our songs based on his samples on his website and couldn't have been more pleased. We also asked him to play during cocktail hour which our guests enjoyed.

Both Eric and his wife are lovely, so easy to work with, and always had fast response times to any questions we had. His rates are super reasonable, too. Highly highly recommend!

Eric was great! He was friendly and played beautiful music for our ceremony. He also sang for us during the ceremony and it was very special. He was very flexible with what I requested be played and was willing to do/play anything I wanted.

I remember the night that I found Eric Redmond's website. I fell in love with the music and the sound from the piano. It brought tears to my eyes and I knew if I had to cut corners on my wedding I would, but NOT Eric! I just HAD to have him play at our wedding. We got married on October 11, 2009 at The Country Club of Ocala. I have gotten so many compliments from my guests; how they loved the live music and how it provided such a delicate elegant touch to the ceremony. Eric is amazing! He truly is an incredibly talented gem from above! He answered all my e-mails, all my questions close to immediately and even through each email I could feel him and Becky smiling. Not only did Eric play and perform for us but Becky (his wife) was truly a joy and a blessing to me each time I spoke with her and exchanged e-mails. I can't wait to have another occasion to hire him again! We highly recommend him. His rates are very reasonable. The incredible piece he can bring to any event will leave you and your guests stunned! He truly exceeded our expectations and we're SO happy he was a part of our special day. For a graceful, stylish and classy event you need Eric Redmond!

Eric did such a great job playing at my outdoor wedding ceremony. Once I gave him the list of songs I picked out, he was able to make professional suggestions of what would sound good and flow together. His beautiful piano playing skills kept my guests entertained while I was 20 minutes late =) I would recommend Eric over and over again.

I found Eric's website while Googling pianists in the Gainesville area, and my wife Sarah and I could not have been more happy. We got married on June 6th, and Eric did the music (playing and singing) for both our ceremony and reception. We knew from listening to his work online and reading other reviews that he was very talented, but once we got together with him to put together the actual ceremony and reception, we were so excited that we had chosen him. As for the ceremony, he really wanted to get a feel for what we wanted - he was able to play any song we could possibly think of, and he wanted us to love every part of it. When we didn't really have any ideas for a song to go in a certain place, he always had wonderful suggestions. He has a true heart for worship, and he led the congregation in 3 beautiful, rousing hymns during our ceremony. As for the reception, he introduced the entire wedding party (18 people) flawlessly (which is rare!), and played throughout. He picked great songs that the older generation knew from people like Frank Sinatra, but that had been remade by people like Michael Buble (so the younger generation knew them too!). Everybody had a great time dancing - it was a perfect mixture of songs. Sometimes he sang, sometimes he just played, but it was always just right. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. For days after our wedding, we were raving to each other about how happy we were that Eric did our wedding.

This review is from the parents of the bride's perspective. We first met Eric and his wife Becky during one of the local Bridal Shows as we assisted our daughter and future son-in-law in selecting vendors for their wedding . We were impressed with his talent from the very beginning. They provided us with a sample of his work on a CD to help us with our decision; however, based upon that initial impression, we decided he was right for our daughter's wedding even before we left the Bridal Show. Live music adds such a warm touch to an already special event as your only daughter's wedding. Words cannot express how pleased and impressed we were with Eric's performance (both instrumental and vocal) at both our daughter's wedding and rehearsal. Eric is an extremely talented pianist. He and his wife Becky are very pleasant to work with and are very professional. His rates are very reasonable as well. Eric provides everything you need for a quality performance. Given we had some intial rain to contend with during our daughter's outdoor wedding, Eric's flexibility allowed him to still provide the service our daughter deserved. We would not think twice about referring Eric.

Eric is an awesome pianist and singer! We really enjoyed working with him. He has a CD that was really helpful that featured the most common songs that he plays and sings at weddings. My husband and I got to pick which songs we wanted him to play for our ceremony. He was even willing to learn something new, which we did ask him if he could learn "Lost in This Moment." It was great! We had an outdoor wedding, but that did not matter at all. The music still sounded amazing! I would highly recommend getting Eric to perform at your wedding!

Eric is a wonderfully skilled professional and it has been my pleasure to work alongside him for several weddings. All of my couples have raved about how accommodating and easy he is to work with.

Eric is a master at his art. I've heard his music and his voice, and selecting him to provide the musical entertainment at your event can only add a higher level of elegance.

Eric is just fabulous, friendly & funny. A treat to all who have the opportunity to listen to him play & sing. A warm & wonderful addition to any ceremony, reception or party.

Eric is a very talented musician and vocalist. His professionalism and work ethic is unmatched. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering his services.

Amazing musician. A steal for the price. You have got to book this fantastic performer for your wedding or event. You won't be sorry. I've heard him play on numerous occasions. A++!!!

Eric Redmond happens to be one of the best kept secret in Gainesville as far as a great pianist with the best personal and professional qualities! His music not only at times sounds heavenly it is also the most beautiful pieces played for each event and he makes sure that it is not overempowered or distracted to a gathering or people's conversations. People here at the hotel and places I have been invited to where Eric plays have been delighted by the selection Eric has chosen to play at the affair and by the softness and beauty showcased at each piece played on the piano. His talent is so authentic and natural that he can make an old keyboard play and sound like a grand piano! A+

If you need a pianist for your wedding...call Eric first! He is a concert quality pianist, familiar with all types of music, and willing to learn anything new. He can even write a song for you! Cummulatively, I have spent hours listening to Eric play...always with grace and style...sometimes softly, sometimes with grandeur... always perfectly! Personally, he is fun to have around, and always ready with a smile...Eric Redmond is a joy to have at any very special event!
