Photo of Stephen Guy Daltry Stephen Guy Daltry "Amazing! All of our homeowners and guests were blown away with Stephen’s music. The skill and passion was clear to see. The set he played was perfect along with his humorous style it went down a treat with everyone. Highly recommend!" Based in Chiswick, England 14th October 2026 Sarah Petryszyn - Adlington Retirement Living, Bedford. Performance for the guests : 28 Oct 2024 Photo of Dan Phelps - Pianist Dan Phelps - Pianist "100% recommend. When I originally booked my wedding at the Webbington Hotel I was sure I didn’t want the piano to be played. However, after attending their wedding Fayre, I walked in and heard Dan playing the Piano, which happened to be one of my favourite Disney songs being played. It bought me to tears, and I knew in that moment it was a must have. We Booked Dan around 18 months prior to the wedding and communication was brilliant. He was happy to answer any questions and queries prior to the day and gave us opportunity to choose what we wanted for the ceremony and the music played before. All my guests were complimentary of Dan, and many of them cried some happy tears to the music being played. He really helped to set the scene for our wedding, and it was a beautiful touch to our day. I just really wish I was able to hear the music being played before the ceremony, but as the bride that is not possible! Dan was fantastic. Definitely recommend. It adds a very personal touch to your wedding day. 5🌟 Absolutly Fantastic." Based in Pontypridd, Wales 23rd September 2026 Charlotte - Wedding Photo of Alex Lamb - Pianist Alex Lamb - Pianist "Alex was amazing. He played the piano at my daughter's wedding at Prestwold Hall. From the moment we booked him , he kept in touch and took the time to find out about the style of music we wanted, including our requests for some specific tunes. He sent us a video of himself playing the tunes so we got a real feel for how it would sound on the day. He was more than happy with any changes we made closer to the big day. He arrived promptly at the wedding venue, smartly dressed and was very friendly and approachable. He was right on cue with all the music changes and many of the guests conveyed to us how good Alex was. We cannot highly recommend him enough. Thank you Alex for being part of our special day." Based in West Bridgford, England 4th September 2026 Liz Bridge - Wedding Photo of Edward Katherine Piano Edward Katherine Piano "From the moment of booking there was excellent communication and we felt in very safe hands. Ed was such a brilliant addition to the day playing on both a grand piano and keyboard for our wedding breakfast and cocktail hour. He was really flexible when our timings changed and was a lovely presence on the day. Our guests remarked how brilliant his playing was and how fantastic it was to have a live pianist on the day. We would highly recommend Ed Katherine."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for classical pianists ranges from £75 to £500+, with an average of £250. 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.

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.

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.

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.
