The GRUB messages disappear if you append a vga= parameter to your kernel
boot parameters to open a framebuffer. Try adding something like vga=0x318
(I'm afraid I've never properly understood this parameter - perhaps someone
else can explain how to choose the video mode number).

Unfortunately the few remaining kernel messages and the udev line will still
show. rhgb uses X, and can't be started before udev. I guess you can remove
these messages using console=/dev/null, but then you'll get no console
messages during shutdown, for debugging, etc., either.

As for a completely graphical boot, you want Bootsplash/fbsplash instead of
rhgb. I suggest you take a look at the following:
