A Live Pianist to accompany your wedding breakfast! You can even choose a song to be played for your entrance to the dining room.
I can take requests from my "requests bar". If your guests are even a little bit musical, this is guaranteed to get them singing along.

Having live music for your wedding ceremony will give the day a memorable and romantic touch.
Do you have a tune which is special to you or your family? I can create a piano arrangement of (almost) any song, and play it for your wedding entrance. You don't need to worry about timings (or the song running out before the music ends!).
I can bring the music to a close, just after you reach the top of the aisle.

You are request specific songs for
1) Entrance Song(s)
2) Signing of the register
3) Exit Song

The arranged fee can include the hire of a black mini grand piano, or a white upright piano. These are digital and can be placed anywhere (inside, outside or even upstairs). My equipment is all battery powered. I require a space of approximately 2m x 1m. If the venue has a piano, I can also use that, in addition to my piano, which can be placed in a different location. If the ceremony is outside, I have discreet stereo amplifiers that can "fill the space" and create a beautiful atmosphere.

FAQ

Q: Do you provide your own Piano?
A: Yes! I have two digital mini grand pianos which are amplified. This is included in the cost. If the venue has a piano, I can also use that, assuming it is in reasonable condition and tuned.

Q: What if our event/drinks reception is outside?
A: If the weather is looking good, I can place one of my pianos outside before the ceremony, so that is ready to entertain guests on the lawn/patio.

Q: Can you play outdoors?
A: Yes! My equipment is battery powered, and I use professional Keyboard amplification which is suitable for outdoor ceremonies/events. For drinks receptions in the summer, I can place a piano outside on a lawn or patio area.

Q: Can you play upstairs?
A: Yes: My digital mini grand pianos are portable and can be placed in any location

Q: How can I time my entrance to the processional music?
A: The advantage of having a live musician play for your entrance, is that I can adjust the music on the day. This depends on how many people are in the bridal party, and how long the entrance aisle is etc. I will work with the celebrant on the day to make sure the music is perfect. Once you have chosen the music, my advice is, to not worry about timings, and enjoy the moment!

Q: How long will you play for?

A: For the Wedding Ceremony, I will start playing as your guests arrive (normally 20-30 minutes before the ceremony). For the Drinks reception, I will play until your guests are called into the wedding breakfast. For the wedding breakfast, I will play for the duration of the meal, or until 6pm, whichever is sooner.
