June 9, 2026An unforgettable experience
If you are looking for the perfect pianist for your wedding, stop scrolling and book him immediately. He was absolutely, unbelievably AMAZING. He took the songs that meant the most to us and wove them into our ceremony so beautifully that we were both in tears.
And then, as if he wasn’t already exceeding every expectation, he accommodated a last‑minute request without hesitation. Not only did he say he could do it, he made it sound like it had been part of the plan all along. Hearing that piece come to life in the moment was one of the most magical surprises of our entire day.
Our guests were blown away, we were thrilled, and the atmosphere he created was unforgettable.
You will not regret choosing him to play for your wedding or any event honestly. He made ours feel cinematic, intimate, and absolutely FANTASTIC!

December 6, 2025R&B, Holiday Classics, and Pure Talent — Tay Delivered
Tay was an incredible pianist, kind, professional, and straight to the point. I requested R&B songs, and he delivered a fantastic selection, mixing in some Christmas classics that fit the vibe perfectly. We hosted a holiday party in a speakeasy-style venue, and he even dressed right on theme. To close out the night, he freestyled a few fun songs that had all our staff singing around the table. I would happily book him again.

August 24, 2025Great Piano Player for Your Event
From the beginning Tay was very communicative and responded thoroughly to our request for Motown Sounds, though he did way more than Motown (yay). He was on time and quickly set up and even began playing before he was scheduled (at the client's request). The guests said he was wonderful. As a Planner, I appreciated his responsiveness and flexibility. Great Event!

What to expect
If hired for your event expect a grand performance! I dress according to the event and theme of the occasion. Often times I would play songs help get the crowd engaged in the music. I also engage a lot with the crowd to make everyone feel welcomed.
About
My name is DeRonte Bridges or Tay for short. I've been playing piano since 2018. I've gotten very familiar with pop/rock genre from 70s Rock to present day Pop. I like to play songs and find ways to extend them, to make them as may own, or mix them with other similar songs. Music is made for everyone and everyone deserves a little music in their life.
