When we hired Damon I imagined a beautiful example of that show west world where the piano plays modern hits as if nobody was noticing just as beautiful background music, and it was! speaking to him for the first time it's very obvious that he ...

takes what he does seriously, we asked him to play alongside a family member of ours that is a professional singer, he even called him months ahead of time in order to gauge what key he should be playing in order to harmonize best! and it worked out amazingly! sounded so beautiful! In addition to this, I waited until the last 3 days to make a request for a special song that means a lot to me that I found a piano rendition of, online and without even making me wait long at all with e-mail communication he agreed that he would be able to include it in my introduction for my wedding. During cocktail hour his playing of the Piano was absolutely beautiful exactly what I wanted our wedding was truly perfect Damon really helped contribute to what was honestly the best day of my life and he didn't miss a beat while doing it! If anybody ever asks me if I can recommend someone to play beautiful Piano at their wedding / party / get together /event id be happy to pass along Damons information. Thank you Damon Carter Thank you for our beautiful wedding!

Damon Carter

Owner

I'm a SoCal native who recently returned to L.A. after living in Boston for over two decades. There, I was a pianist for hundreds of events-particularly weddings. After college, I started working as a wedding musician in the early 90s. I performed for ceremonies and with bands. What sets California Premier Pianists apart is our ability to perform all styles of music and help achieve our client's unique vision for their wedding. We offer free consultations to walk you through the process and discuss your requests. We are friendly and accommodating in every aspect of your planning. Damon
