Every wedding is unique – as your wedding pianist it’s my job to reflect the personal style of your wedding.

You can’t beat live piano music for a wedding ceremony – it creates a real sense of occasion in the ceremony room, and most particularly for your bridal procession. I always create a unique piano version of your chosen bridal entrance song specially for you – perhaps playing the intro and verse as your bridesmaids enter and then moving into the chorus once they’re in position, adding extra impact for the entrance of the bride. On the day I’ll be watching and adapting what I play so it’s always the perfect length and draws to a natural close once you’re ready at the front – much better than the awkward stop of pre-recorded music.

For your wedding ceremony you’ll generally want to choose four songs – one for your bridal procession, something more upbeat for your exit, and a couple of songs for me to play as background music during the signing of the register. My repertoire list includes hundreds of well-known songs old and new, or if you have a particular song in mind which isn’t in my repertoire then I’ll be very happy to compose a piano version of it specially for your day. I can also play background piano music as your guests arrive to take their seats.

Background piano music adds a real touch of class to your drinks reception, whether inside or outside. Or you may want the unique ambience of a tinkling piano during your wedding breakfast – the choice is yours.

If your wedding venue doesn’t have a suitable piano, I can provide an electronic piano which perfectly recreates the sound of a grand piano – either a standard keyboard-style piano at no extra charge, or you can upgrade to a beautiful grand piano shell in either black or white, to suit your wedding colour scheme.
