WEDDING RATES

Pianist for Elegant Weddings, Receptions, Rehearsal Dinners

"We wanted to thank you for the wonderful piano music you put together and played for us at our wedding ceremony. Many of our family and friends praised your skills and said the live piano music enhanced the ceremony. We especially appreciate your taking the trouble to make a piano arrangement of Vivaldi's "Spring," and helping us choose beautiful, yet non-traditional pieces. Planning a wedding from 1000 miles was pretty tricky, but your website and our over-the-phone discussion made the ceremonial music part the easiest to plan!"
Elizabeth & Dan, Baughman Center, University of Florida, April 2009

"Dear Eric and Becky,

Just a quick thank you for the wonderful musical accompaniment you provided for our wedding. Eric, you were terrific, and we were thrilled with the way it all went. The music as I arrived was just perfect, and honestly brought tears to my eyes...just beautiful! We have had many compliments from our guests. They were most impressed, and the music was, of course, a big part of it. Again, our thanks to you both. It was truly a pleasure to work with you!"

With two decades of experience as a performer, arranger, composer and singer, I'll be glad to help you customize your event.

RECEPTION AND/OR REHEARSAL DINNER MUSIC

$120 for the first hour, and $80 per hour after that. Samples of elegant live piano music and vocal solos are available on the audio for the Prelude and Solos sections of my Wedding Ceremony Music Guide.

PORTABLE DIGITAL PIANO 

Portable Piano for Garden Weddings, Outdoor Receptions, Banquet Halls without a Quality Piano

For outdoor venues, or indoors venues without a quality piano, I can bring my digital piano, which sounds like a perfectly tuned grand piano, for $100.

Have you ever turned down the soundtrack on a movie and noticed what a dramatic difference it makes?
~~~~~~~~~
I'd love to provide just the right music to help make your wedding day memorable.




*   Rate is reduced to $200 if you don't have me attend the rehearsal. I've played for many wedding ceremonies without attending the rehearsal. This option is intended as a less expensive option, if desired.

** My travel rate for events more than an hour from my home in Gainesville, FL (per  Mapquest   estimate door to door) is $40 an hour, rounded to the nearest quarter hour.


 A 50% non-refundable deposit reserves the date for your event,  with the balance due at or before the event. 

We book up to 18 months in advance of an event.
