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 authentid 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!

Tips and Advice
See my website for my complimentary Wedding Music Planning Guide.  I outline a typical wedding ceremony, and play samples of various selections that would be appropriate for each part of the ceremony.  You can also hear me play the type of music I would play for the wedding prelude.  This is also the type of music I play for receptions and rehearsal dinners.

I give more ideas for your wedding on my blog, "Piano Is My Forte", where I describe music selections from other weddings I've performed and share tips based on my experience with so many weddings over the years.
