Photo of Raoul e Jessica live music and Sax Raoul e Jessica live music and Sax "For me you were great and very good I would say, everyone liked you, fantastic, professional, it was a beautiful evening, to be redone absolutely only that in life you get married only once. Keep it up guys, a big hug and good job." Based in Pistoia, Tuscany (44 miles from Bologna) francesco ninni - music wedding Photo of Sax&Piano Wedding Music Sax&Piano Wedding Music "Simply extraordinary. We chose Sax & Piano for our wedding and we couldn’t have wished for anything better. From the very first contact they were professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to our requests. On the wedding day they created a magical atmosphere: the sound of the sax, combined with the elegance of the piano, accompanied every moment with emotion and refinement. Our guests were enchanted, and many of them asked us for their details. They perfectly captured the mood of the day, moving from romantic and delicate pieces to more lively moments during the aperitif. Outstanding musical quality and constant emotion. We are truly happy we chose them — they made our day even more special. We recommend them wholeheartedly." Based in Florence, Tuscany (50 miles from Bologna) 19th August 2026 Anna e Christopher - Private Wedding Photo of Pianista Firenze Pianista Firenze "Trusting Pianista Firenze for the musical accompaniment of our event was a truly winning choice. His piano skills are impressive, but what really distinguishes his performance is the emotion he manages to convey through every note. He was able to transform a simple musical background into an engaging and memorable experience, capable of touching the hearts of all the guests. During preparation, he was extremely professional, available and patient in advising us on the most suitable repertoire, combining classical pieces with personalized arrangements that made everything unique. His punctuality and attention to detail ensured that everything proceeded smoothly. I strongly recommend Pianista Firenze to anyone who wants a musician who combines talent, passion and great listening ability to enhance any type of event." Translated from Italian Based in Florence, Tuscany (50 miles from Bologna) Sam P. - Evento a Firenze Photo of Lavinia Beni pianist Lavinia Beni pianist "Lavinia was exceptional. She took control of all of the logistics and created such a beautiful experience for my proposal to my partner in Siena." Based in Florence, Tuscany (50 miles from Bologna) Benjamin Kende - Proposal Photo of Ferdi Argenti Ferdi Argenti "What Ferdie can do that nobody else does (to the extent that he does it) is sing his heart out, and then play his heart out-- his vocal and instrumental expressions are equally strong. It's not like he's trying to get a gig at the local Holiday Inn lounge, no!--he belongs in the concert hall! Larry Coryell (from the liner notes to "Look for the silver lining" album by Ferdinando Argenti" Based in Fucecchio, Tuscany (59 miles from Bologna) Larry Coryell - Internationally known jazz guitarist Photo of Pianista Verona Pianista Verona "Pianista Verona made our religious ceremony and wedding reception in Verona a uniquely memorable experience. The choice of music was impeccable: emotional pieces for the most intimate moments and lively, engaging pieces during the reception, all performed with great mastery. All of our guests were impressed by the refined and polished live performance. His professionalism, punctuality, and adaptability truly made the difference, creating an unforgettable event." Based in Verona, Veneto (67 miles from Bologna) 4th February 2026 Gemma

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring pianists is €330, with prices from €100 to €900+. Pricing depends on the pianist's experience, set length and whether a venue piano is available or a digital instrument needs to be supplied. Pianists are a popular choice for background music during dinners, receptions and ceremonies.

The pianists for hire cover a wide range of styles including classical, jazz, pop, rock, blues, gospel, boogie-woogie and show tunes. Many pianists are versatile performers who can switch between styles during an event to suit different moments.

Hiring pianists is ideal for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, hotel lobbies, private parties and formal occasions. Piano music is one of the most versatile and widely appreciated forms of live entertainment.

Many pianists bring a high-quality digital piano or keyboard, while others may prefer to use an acoustic piano if one is available at the venue. A digital piano is easily transported and can be set up in most locations. Gig Heaven recommends confirming instrument arrangements when making an enquiry.

Many pianists are singer-pianists who can provide a full vocal and piano performance. This offers a wider repertoire and a more dynamic show than instrumental piano alone. It is worth checking each performer's profile for details of their performance format.
