Private Party•Reviewed on December 18, 2018•From Trumbull, CT

We've been having a holiday party for over 30 years. When our usual piano player couldn't make it this year we didn't know what to do. Happily after contacting GigMasters we found Mr. Devens. We initially got quotes that ranged from ridiculous to reasonable. Mr. Devens was reasonably priced, fit right in, and enjoyed our party as much as we enjoyed his music. Thank you!

He was excellent. The music he played was perfect. We had him play music for our wedding ceremony and while guest were waiting. The music was fun. Prior to the event he played the music to me to make sure it was perfect. He has great communication. Complete professional. I highly recommend.

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on June 22, 2018•From Hudson, NY

Richard played for our son's rehersal dinner. I left him a list of artists that our son liked, and Richard played several songs as well as the stand bys. He was prompt and wonderful to deal with. You can't go wrong with Richard!

School Assembly•Reviewed on March 24, 2018•From Port Jefferson, NY

Richard Devens is a Wonderful Pianist. He went above and beyond my expectations. He was punctual, and ready to play for my daughters violin all-state Nyssma performance as her pianist accompaniment. Would highly recommend him to anyone who would need a professional pianist to play at their event. Awesome! +++++. Thank You Gig Masters for having such a high caliber pianist in their musical repertoire. Thank You Richard for making my daughters performance such a success!

Funeral•Reviewed on February 26, 2018•From Torrington, CT

Richard was very accommodating and helpful in planning the music for the memorial service for my mother. It took place in an unheated mausoleum and required the use of a digital vs. acoustic piano. Richard advised me on what classical repertoire would work under these circumstances. Over the phone he played some Bach preludes and a Mozart sonata and we made some choices which worked very well. I also had two specific requests from popular music that Richard did not have in his collection and he acquired the music for this occasion. His playing was excellent and added much to the ceremony that we planned.
