Photo of Robert Baker Pianist Robert Baker Pianist "Thanks for last Saturday evening. I have had quite a lot of feedback and it has all been really good. Most people really enjoyed the music and felt it was just the right balance during the meal and when we were dancing as they were still able to chat if they wanted to. All in all a success! Thank you. Regards, Karol Grabowski" Based in Doncaster, England (88 miles from Durham) Karol Grabowski - Dinner Dance Photo of The Easy Rollers The Easy Rollers "We couldn’t have been happier with the band who made it such a special night. They were a perfect choice for us with a great look, sound and spirit that got everyone in the party mood.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz pianists is £330, with prices from £120 to £1,000+. Pricing depends on the pianist's experience, set length and whether a suitable instrument is available at the venue. Jazz pianists provide sophisticated, versatile background music suited to a wide range of events from cocktail receptions to private dinners.

The jazz pianists for hire perform a range of jazz styles including swing, bebop, smooth jazz, boogie-woogie, blues piano and jazz interpretations of popular songs. Many jazz pianists are also accomplished classical and pop players, offering a versatile repertoire.

Events that commonly feature jazz pianists include cocktail receptions, corporate events, hotel lobbies, restaurant dining, wedding receptions and private parties. Jazz piano provides an elegant, sophisticated backdrop that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering the occasion.

Some jazz pianists bring their own digital piano or keyboard, while others may prefer to use an acoustic piano if one is available at the venue. A high-quality digital piano can produce an excellent jazz sound and is easily transported. It is worth discussing instrument arrangements with the pianist.

Many jazz pianists offer flexible formats including solo piano, duo with a vocalist or bass player, and trio or quartet settings. A larger group provides a fuller sound, while a solo pianist suits intimate venues and budgets. To get the best results, discuss options when making an enquiry.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
