Q: Can a jazz pianist play for a wedding ceremony as well as the reception?

Ceremony, drinks reception and dinner are all common bookings, and one player can cover the whole day where a suitable instrument is in place. Processional and recessional pieces are agreed in advance, and many players will arrange a requested song in a jazz style. Where the ceremony and the reception are in different rooms, allow time to move and set up between them.

Q: How long does a jazz piano booking usually last?

Two to three hours is typical, played as sets of around 45 minutes with short breaks between them. Background playing across a dinner service often runs longer and is quoted by the hour. Arranging recorded music for the breaks stops the room falling silent.

Q: Will a jazz pianist learn a requested song?

Most will take a short list of requests and arrange them in a jazz style, given reasonable notice before the date. Standards and well-known popular songs are straightforward, while an obscure piece may need extra rehearsal time or a fee. Sending the list at the booking stage rather than on the day gives the best result.

Q: Can I contact multiple suppliers at the same time?

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard .

Q: How far in advance do we need to book?

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.
