Photo of Live piano music, excellent, all styles. Live piano music, excellent, all styles. "Beautiful, relaxing piano music made our event so enjoyable and more special. ." Based in Buffalo, New York David L. - Social gathering Photo of Vic Barreira Vic Barreira "When we talk about musical talent, and skilled soulful vocals, Vic Barreira is first on the list. Whether he's performing with a guitar or keyboard, Vic is the "real deal". His renditions of Neil Diamond, Elton John, Billy Joel, and the Beatles, as well as his own material is testament to not only his professionalism but for his love of music. Catch Vic live at your next venue and get ready to be blown away!" Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (55 miles from Buffalo) Mystic Highway Band (CCR/John Fogerty Tribute) Photo of Resonance Duo Resonance Duo "We booked Alona and Oleksii to perform whilst we celebrated our 55th wedding anniversary with a romantic catered dinner at our home. In short, they were truly amazing! Alona compiled a playlist that included some of our favourites and worked really hard with Oleksii to make sure everything went perfectly on the night. Individually they are extremely talented musicians and played beautifully for us both as solo artists and as a duo. Oleksii’s violin - unbelievable! Their feeling for the music was uplifting. They are both very charming and modest people. They made our evening unforgettable and we really hope that we have the opportunity to engage them again."

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.
