Wedding Ceremony
I specialise in providing beautiful piano music to make one of the most memorable days of your life even more magical. A live pianist can enhance the mood and atmosphere of your special day in a way a Spotify playlist simply can’t.
As your pianist, I will play a selection of music tailored to your taste while your guests enter the ceremony room, awaiting the bride’s arrival. I encourage couples to choose three songs for key moments, such as the entrance of the bride, the signing of the register, and your exit as a married couple. If your chosen song isn’t in my repertoire, don’t worry - I’ll happily learn it to perfection for your big day. I’m also glad to make suggestions, whether you’re looking for something soft and romantic, upbeat, or unique to you.

(Equivalent to one 45-minute set)

Drinks Reception
Piano music during your drinks reception adds a wonderful atmosphere as you mingle with your guests and have photos taken. I take pride in creating a warm, uplifting mood that can’t be matched, and I’m always happy to take requests from guests enjoying the music. Typically, this part of the day lasts around one to one and a half hours.
​
For the drinks reception, I usually perform on my portable baby white grand piano. This also allows me to play outdoors in the gardens during the summer months.
(Equivalent to two 45-minute sets)
Wedding Breakfast
Live piano music during the wedding breakfast brings a beautiful touch to your first meal as a married couple, enhancing the atmosphere and making it truly memorable.
​
Throughout the meal, I play a wide variety of music styles to match the mood of your day and cater to the diverse tastes and ages of your guests. I begin with gentle piano music as guests enter and take their seats, then move to well-known songs as the courses progress. Toward the end of the meal, I often play more upbeat and lively tunes, which can lead to guest requests and even singalongs. I can either play pop favourites or create a general jazz cocktail sound, the choice is yours.
​
Some venues have a piano in the dining room, which I’m happy to play if available. However, I typically bring my own portable white baby grand piano and allows me to adjust the volume to suit the room and your guests comfortably.
​
(Equivalent to two or three 45-minute sets)
Additional Playing For Evening Or Lull Times
Keep the atmosphere alive during quieter moments by adding live piano music into the early evening or during any lulls in the days schedule. This option is perfect for creating a seamless transition from your wedding breakfast to the evening reception, or for providing a calming backdrop as your guests relax before the evening festivities begin.
​
During this time, I can play a mix of gentle, ambient music or more lively tunes depending on the mood you want to create. Guest requests are always welcome, and I can adjust my playlist to suit the evolving energy of the evening.
​
(Equivalent to one or two 45-minute sets)
