Reviews of Pianists based near Bedford

5/5 from 40 reviews
Photo of Max Thomson / TOMMO 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."

His infectious beats kept the party going well into the night. We'll be talking about this party for years to come!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring pianists is £250, with prices from £80 to £700+. 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.
