Photo of Iryna Iryna "We listened to Iryna playing at The Woodward in Geneva, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her music was so elegant and emotional, and it created the perfect atmosphere for the evening. You could really feel her passion for the music.

The brilliant blend of Western classical mastery and traditional Eastern string artistry added a unique, unforgettable flavor to our celebration that our families are still raving about." Based in San Jose, California, United States 22nd September 2026 Susan Chavez - Special celebration Photo of Your Pianist for Wedding, Concert & Event Your Pianist for Wedding, Concert & Event "Lisa Maria was the perfect choice for our winter wonderland wedding in the Swiss Alps of Guarda! She is very talented and her performance during our ceremony was just the perfect touch to make it so romantic and made everyone feel very emotional! Lisa Maria went above and beyond with the communication and coordination. Specifically, she was very quick to respond by email and to find solutions to problems. For example, we had the challenge that there was no electricity points at our ceremony location which was outside, in the snow, on the top of a mountain. Lisa Maria did the research and testing to find the solution of an external battery power source that would serve our purposes."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for classical pianists ranges from $170 to $1,200+, with an average of $600. Rates depend on the pianist's experience, the length of the performance and whether a specific repertoire is required. Some pianists may also factor in whether a suitable instrument is available at the venue or whether they need to bring a digital piano.

Some classical pianists bring their own digital piano or keyboard, while others prefer to use an acoustic piano if one is available at the venue. If the venue does not have a piano, a digital instrument can produce an excellent sound and is easily transported. For the best experience, discuss instrument arrangements with the pianist when making an enquiry.

Events that commonly feature classical pianists include wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate events, private dinners, hotel lobbies and formal occasions. Piano music provides an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere that complements a wide range of event settings.

The classical pianists on Gig Heaven perform classical piano repertoire ranging from baroque and romantic works to twentieth-century pieces, alongside film scores and classical arrangements of well-known songs. Many pianists can shape the programme to suit different moments, from a formal recital feel to gentle background music during a reception.
