Photo of Manhattan Jazz Trio Manhattan Jazz Trio "Having the Manhattan Trio perform at our summer cocktail party was great. The music added a nice atmosphere to the party, with elegant jazz standards everybody recognized. The band even took some requests from guest and performed them beautifully. If you are looking for a sophisticated and elegant jazz music atmosphere, this is it!" Based in New York 20th March 2026 Marco S. - Cocktail Party Photo of Bilge GUNAYDIN Bilge GUNAYDIN "Bilge was wonderful, her knowledge and performance of all music genres and styles blended perfectly for our party. She is a lovely and talented young lady, a wonderful musician a delightful performance, she is a must for a memorable celebration or get together. Thank you, Bilge!" Based in Hoboken, New Jersey (2 miles from New York) 17th September 2026 Bilge GUNAYDIN - Private Party Photo of Face The Music DJs and Booking Agency Face The Music DJs and Booking Agency "Brian was everything that my husband and I could've asked for. He was professional, punctual, and most importantly he did a great job with the music selection. He was also able to provide a mic and amp for some live music during the ceremony, and played piano for us during the cocktail hour. We really appreciated having someone so multi-talented for our event. We gave Brian a smaller list of must-play songs, and with that outline he was able to fill in the gaps effectively with what the crowd was feeling. We didn't have to worry about the music all night, and he was mingling and getting requests from the guests with his iPad (a favorite detail of the guests'). Our wedding was a huge success in no small part because of Brian, and we cannot recommend him enough." Based in Amherst, Massachusetts (138 miles from New York) Alison Kuzara - Wedding Photo of Paul Cohen Piano Paul Cohen Piano "Paul was great! He was accommodating when we asked him to play a custom song for our wedding ceremony and his personal jazz music was perfect for our cocktail hour. He was quick to respond to our emails and was the most professional vendor we worked with, we highly recommend him!." Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (315 miles from New York) Tom C. Photo of Just Us Jazz Band Just Us Jazz Band "Excellent, reliable, and high quality music! John was an absolute delight to work with." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (345 miles from New York) Samantha Tyson - Corporate Event Photo of Miss Julie Bryce Miss Julie Bryce "Wow, I love it! It’s a wild ride and sometimes it seems to be laughing at the listener… then there are the boats of jazzy pillows that carry you across the rapids. Very cool" Based in Knoxville, Tennessee (629 miles from New York) Lydia Nicole - Private

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz pianists is $440, with prices from $150 to $1,250+. 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.
