PAUL MILLIGAN

What kind of music do you play?

​I offer a wide range of music, from classical pieces and romantic ballads to modern pop, jazz standards, and film scores. I’m happy to tailor the playlist to your personal style and preferences.

​

Can you learn specific songs for our wedding?

Absolutely! I’m happy to learn and perform special requests, including your aisle song, song for signing of the register and for your exit as a married couple, all I ask is at least 4 weeks notice before your special day.

​

Do you provide your own piano or keyboard?

Yes! I provide a high-quality digital piano and sound system with a stunning white baby grand piano shell with the look and sound of a real grand piano. If your venue has a tuned piano that you’d prefer me to use, I’m happy to do so.

​

How far in advance should we book you?

I recommend booking as early as possible to secure your date - most couples book 6–12 months in advance. However, don’t hesitate to get in touch even if your wedding is sooner as I do have the odd last-minute date free.

​

What parts of the wedding do you play for?

I can perform during the ceremony (including your guests arriving, the aisle walk, signing of the register and exit walk), drinks reception, wedding breakfast, during the evening lull time, or any combination of these. My packages make it easy to tailor my performance times to your requirements.

​

 Do you travel?

Yes, I’m based in South Yorkshire but I travel throughout the North of England and Midlands. Travel costs may apply for venues outside a 100 mile radius of my base. I can travel further too upon request.

​

How long do you play for?

Performance times vary depending on the package, but I typically play in sets of 45 minutes with short breaks in between. However on many occasions I'm enjoying myself too much and end up playing way beyond the set list times (lol).

​

What do you wear when performing?

I always dress smartly and appropriately for your event - typically in semi-formal attire unless you request otherwise.​

​

Can we hear you play before booking?

Yes! I have sample recordings and videos available on my website as well as on my social media pages (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok)  I’m also happy to arrange a short video call where I can perform a snippet of your chosen song live.

​

What happens if you’re ill or unable to attend?

In the unlikely event that I’m unable to perform, I have a network of trusted professional pianists I can call on, and I’ll ensure you're fully covered.

​

How much space do you need?

I only need a small area - approximately 2m x 2m - to set up my piano and speaker.

 

Can you play outdoors?

Yes, I can perform outside as long as there’s suitable cover. Weather conditions and instrument safety will always be taken into account.

​

Do you need anything from the venue?

Just access to a power socket if performing indoors and a small area to set up the piano. I’ll handle the rest! For outdoor performances I will bring along my large capacity (discrete) battery that can handle power for hours. I

​

Are you insured?

Yes, I have full public liability insurance and all my equipment is PAT tested - documentation can be provided if your venue requires it.

​

How do we book you?

Simply get in touch via the contact form or email. I’ll confirm availability and send over a booking agreement. A small deposit secures your date.
