Wedding Musicians in United Kingdom
Wedding Singers in United KingdomPiano players bring versatility that few other solo musicians can match. A single performer can cover gentle classical pieces for a ceremony, relaxed jazz at a drinks reception and contemporary pop hits for an evening celebration, adapting their style to each part of your event.
The style of music matters most when picking a piano player. Jazz-focused performers lean towards standards and swing, while classically trained pianists excel at formal ceremony repertoire. Many modern piano players blend genres freely, moving between instrumental covers of current chart songs and traditional favorites within the same set. Some also offer vocals, turning a solo piano booking into a full singer-pianist act. If your venue has an in-house piano, let the performer know in advance so they can assess whether to use it or bring their own digital keyboard.
Rates for pianists in the United Kingdom typically run between about £80 and £700+, with an average of £250. Shorter ceremony-only bookings sit at the lower end, while full-day packages covering multiple parts of a wedding or event cost more. Performance length, travel distance and whether the pianist provides vocals or additional equipment all affect the final price.
The average price is £250 (GBP), with most priced from £80 to £700+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Max Thomson / TOMMO
"We invited Max in for a small selection of piano pieces so we could see what his performances would be like. We were so impressed! The music filled the large reception area with delight, and the small audience were captivated. Max was a natural on the keys, he played with care and attention, and his personality shone through. The residents commented on his polite manner and his maturity for such a young age. Before Max left, he took the time to chat with the residents, and we discussed two future bookings before Christmas. One resident chose Max to play on her birthday. Snap this great entertainer up before he is fully booked - you won't be disappointed."

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."
Etanie & Pads
"I had the pleasure of having Etanie & Pads perform at my wedding, and I couldn’t have wished for a better musical experience! My guests and I absolutely loved their performance.
Etanie has a truly charming and captivating voice, while Pads brings incredible energy with his vibrant keyboard playing. Their repertoire was diverse and perfectly suited to the atmosphere, keeping everyone entertained throughout the evening.
They added so much warmth, energy and magic to our special day. I wholeheartedly recommend Etanie & Pads for any event, they are absolutely wonderful!"
Sam Cooke Piano
"I can thoroughly recommend Sam Cooke Piano who is thoroughly professional, has an excellent eye for detail and plays exceptionally."
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."
