That picture in your head: your definition of perfection. It’s your day, and you’re going to ensure that each and every tangible aspect of it entwines harmoniously with the phantasmagoria that resides in your mind. A unique and personal display of insurmountable greatness; a vivid expression of immortal memories echoing wondrously evermore.
Your Wedding Day provides you with what seams like an infinitely long list of things to prepare. Given that a Wedding is possibly the most idiosyncratic thing you’ll ever have to organise, it helps when a simple and convenient service can be provided to assist in relieving some of the organisational migraine when it comes to an important aspect of the day.
The right music for your Wedding is critical. Walking down the aisle to your song is a subtle, but crucial part of the occasion. If not down the aisle, then having that momentous first dance to a special and intimate piece.
Below is a lovely selection of romantic song's I can play. If your prefered music isn't listed, please feel free to email me and make your requests :)

As seen in some of my YouTube videos, I often change the style of a piece to suit piano, and my preferences. With the ability to change the style of a song, gives me the opportunity to ask you exactly how you want your wedding music to be played? Want a certain song played up beat? No problem! Want something special played slow, more classically and intimately? No problem! Whatever songs you want, however you want them played, it’s all more than possible.
Not exactly what you're looking for? Make an enquiry.
When you hire me to play at more than 1 part of the Wedding, a 25% discount is given on the hire price.
Additional costs - such as travel, piano hire, ect - vary. Please make an enquiry to get a definite price.
If you're getting married abroad, it is more than possible to hire me to play at your wedding. Whether you be getting married in Vegas or Venice, Paris or Prague, you can hire me. The cost of this would be as normal, with travel and hotel costs extra.
However, there is also another alternative which may prove favourable for those with a tighter budget.
Instead of me flying out to the location of the ceremony, I instead record the songs of your choice recorded the way you want it played, and then send them to you. Easy peesy!
Or, if you don't want that quantity...
For UK residents, consultations can be held either via email, via phone, or via Skype. Due to my YouTube connection, I do not have my phone number and Skype details available online, so please email me for this information.
For International Weddings, email and Skype are the methods of communication. You can email me via my contact page.
Skype is a great way of making a Consultation - for both UK residents and International customers - because I can play your requested music for you via the internet to give you a taste. It also gives you an opportunity to dictate exactly how you want your chosen music to be played: whether it be in a more classical way or a more upbeat, rock way.
Q: Can I request any song(s) I want, even if they don't appear in your repertoire? If so, how much does it cost?
A: You can request any song(s) you want, even if they don't appear in my repertoire, for no extra cost.
Q: Do you provide your own Piano?
A: At the moment, I sadly do not. For venue's with Piano's already on site, this isn't a problem; for venue's however that do not have a Piano, I can hire a high quality Digital Grand. Please make an enquiry to find out how much this would cost.
Q: I'm worried that the songs will sound weird on Piano. What would you advise?
A: A Piano rendition of a song will always sound different to the original. Piano music does however offer an intimate spin on music that suits Weddings perfectly. If you'd like, I offer
consultation's via Skype, where I'll be able to play the Piano versions' of your requested music for you. I do not charge for this.
Q: What experience do you have as a Pianist?
A: For an in-depth synopsis, please click here to visit my Bio page. My YouTube channel provides a great view of my capabilities. The track you can hear in the background is an extended version of a romantic Goo Goo Dolls song called "Come To Me". I extended it myself, and played it myself.
Q: How far in advance do couples usually book a Pianist for their Wedding?
A: I've had bookings 4 years in advance. Usually however, it's around 1 year. If you are getting married between May and September, please enquire soon to guarantee your booking, as this is my busiest time. Around Christmas is also incredibly busy, so please enquire. However much notice you give though, you've nothing to lose from simply enquiring, so go ahead and do it now.
Q: Do you sing?
A: Unfortunately, no. If you wish me to collaborate with a singer, this can be arranged; I have a lot of experience playing with singers. Please make an enquiry for more details.
Q: What will you wear to play at my Wedding?
A: Smart attire is always a given for Weddings, so I would wear a suit. If however you have specific clothing criteria that you wish me to match, I can. Please enquire to see how much this would cost.
Q: Do I need to provide a meal and drinks for you during my Wedding Reception?
A: This really depends on which parts of the wedding I'll be playing. If I'm playing for all Ceremony, Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast, and First Dance, then I would need something to eat once I'd finished. While playing however, I would also need a quick glass of water ever now and again to keep me hydrated. This is also something that you should consider for your Photographer, Videographer, ect.
Q: I'm having a summer Wedding; can you play outside?
A: Yes! Playing outside is no problem :)
Q: I am not sure what music I would like playing on the Piano for my Wedding Ceremony. Can you make any appropriate suggestions?
A: A lot of great Wedding songs can be found in my repertoire. If you're not sure though, Canon in D is the quint essential Wedding piece. There's also some beautiful music from the film "Love Actually": the Glasgow Love Theme, Portuguese Love Theme, and PM's Love Theme. If you're looking for something more along the popular music side of things, "You & Me" by Lifehouse is a stunning song. For a bit of Rock, there are classics such as "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith.
Q: At certain parts of the Wedding, I have no particular requests. Can you just play songs from your Repertoire?
A: Yes. When you have no specific requests, I can just play a variety of romantic music in the background for you :)
Q: Do you play anywhere in the UK?
A: Yes! I'm based in Birmingham, but you can hire me to play anywhere in the British Isles :)
Q: How do I pay?
A: You can pay via Cash, Cheque, or PayPal.
Q: Can I pay on the day itself?
A: Unfortunately, payment will be required before the day itself. A deposit to cover the travel expenditure would initially be required, and then the remainder of pay a week before the wedding.
