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.

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.

The pianists 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.

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.

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.
