Based in Hoboken, New Jersey (2 miles from New York) 17th September 2026 Bilge GUNAYDIN - Private Party Photo of Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop "A wonderful experience with Jay. He was so responsive when we first contacted him about our event in Stonington CT (a birthday party for my mother with approx. 40 guests at the La Grua Center), and his repertoire spanned all of the types of music were were looking for (jazz, classical, some show tunes). His playing was just so lovely at the event. A pleasure to meet him and have him join this event. My mother was so thrilled and it made her birthday very special. Many thanks to Jay. Highest recommendation." Based in Manhattan, New York (5 miles from New York) 31st March 2026 Wendy Waszmer - Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Piano (Jay Noble) Photo of John Arden Music featuring Dueling Pianos John Arden Music featuring Dueling Pianos "We hired this company for my annual Halloween party. This was a different vision and it was wonderful. Everyone loved all the song choices. The energy during the sing-along’s was amazing! Everyone wanted them to continue singing all night long! I highly recommend this team, you won’t be disappointed! Everyone is looking forward to my next party that they attend!" Based in Island Park, New York (20 miles from New York) 31st March 2026 Lori C - Holiday party Photo of Cold Weather Company Cold Weather Company "I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews." Based in New Brunswick, New Jersey (28 miles from New York) Christine P. - Corporate Event Photo of Dave Diedrich Singing Pianist Dave Diedrich Singing Pianist "I hired Dave to entertain a small party of 16 people for a special birthday. Our guest list ranged in age from 25 to 85, and it's fair to say that everyone enjoyed his music and entertaining style. Dave was incredibly communicative about logistics, flexible on set list and accommodated a few special requests. His set up was brilliant - lighting, sound and acoustics were great - and it worked well even inside a small room with a lot of people. If you're looking for upbeat entertainment and a "one-stop shop" for a gathering (large or small), I'd highly recommend giving him a call. Rating: Reviewer: Susan Ruffalo Event date: May 16th, 2025 Services provided: Singing Pianist" Based in Greenwich, Connecticut (29 miles from New York) Susan R - 85th Bday party Photo of Who.iAm Who.iAm "Who.iAm?

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring pianists is $340, with prices from $110 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.
