Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 12, 2017•From Tarrytown, NY

Richard Devens was fantastic as we hired him for our office holiday party and he played piano music beautifully and he played a nice mix of holiday music and other music that was appropriate for our holiday gathering. He was also very professional and prompt and we would definitely hire him again for our next event.

Richard came on time and also brought violin player. They played as a duet many classical and more contemporary pieces. The musicians created a wonderful atmosphere for the party. All our guests enjoyed their performance. If we ever have a party of that scale, we would definitely hire them again.

Richard is a wonderful pianist. We hired him to play piano music during our cocktail hour and the first hour of dinner. He learned multiple pieces for me, and he played everything so flawlesssly. I highly recommend him, and I hope we can find an opportunity to use his services again.

Richard recently played at my wedding ceremony. He was very easy to work with and very professional. Prior to the ceremony he played samples of his music for me over the phone. We picked everything he'd play before hand. He was very helpful in making selections and also very accommodating.
