5/5 from 942 reviews
Photo of Lee mathews pianist Lee mathews pianist "Everyone at the wedding was really impressed with Lee's piano playing. The background music that Lee played was absolutely perfect in what was a perfect day in all. Lee gave us a choice of music before the wedding, and it was played absolutely beautifully. You can tell that Lee really loves what he does, and I know I shouldn't be saying it, but I'm sure Lee played a lot longer then the 90mins we requested, which was a delight for us and our guests. Thank you Lee, we would thoroughly recommend Lee to anyone else!" Based in Leeds, England (22 miles from York) Simon Boyson - Wedding Photo of Robert Baker Pianist Robert Baker Pianist "Thanks for last Saturday evening. I have had quite a lot of feedback and it has all been really good. Most people really enjoyed the music and felt it was just the right balance during the meal and when we were dancing as they were still able to chat if they wanted to. All in all a success! Thank you. Regards, Karol Grabowski" Based in Doncaster, England (30 miles from York) Karol Grabowski - Dinner Dance Photo of Craig Sutcliffe Music Craig Sutcliffe Music "We would highly recommend Craig. He playing for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in December 2022. He is a very talented pianist and extremely accommodating with song requests.

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.
