Question 1

How much will it cost?

Accepted Answer

Every celebration is different, but beautiful live music doesn’t have to be complicated — or out of reach.

My wedding packages are clearly set out, and event pricing is flexible to suit your space and timings.

You can explore everything in more detail on the Packages & Pricing page.

Question 2

Do we pay VAT on your prices?

Accepted Answer

No. I’m not VAT registered, so there’s no VAT added to any of my packages or bookings.

The price you see is the price you pay!

Question 3

Can you provide a piano if the venue doesn’t have one?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I bring a full professional live setup for venues without a piano, including a high-quality digital stage piano and PA system.

I’ll always soundcheck carefully so the music feels perfectly balanced in your space.

If you’d like the look of a traditional piano, my white baby-grand shell can also be added as an optional extra.

Question 4

Can you play in more than one room or area?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you’ve booked me for more than one part of the day (for example, ceremony and drinks reception), I can move the setup between spaces with minimal disruption.

If the move is more complicated (different buildings, steps, long distances, etc.), I can provide a second, smaller piano setup at no extra cost to keep everything running smoothly.

Question 5

How loud will the music be?

Accepted Answer

I always adjust the sound to suit the setting.

During drinks receptions or meals, the piano provides a warm, live backdrop that guests can chat comfortably over.

For ceremonies, I’ll ensure the music carries clearly so everyone can hear those important moments.

Question 6

Can you play outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes — outdoor performances are always a joy if the weather allows.

I just need access to a power supply (an outdoor socket or an extension from a nearby building) and a shaded or covered area if it’s hot or rainy.

Some venues have restrictions on amplified music outdoors, so it’s best to check this with your venue in advance.

Question 7

How far in advance should we book?

Accepted Answer

Popular dates, especially in summer, do fill quickly, so it’s best to get in touch as soon as you can.

Once your date and venue are confirmed, I can secure the booking with a £100 deposit. The balance is due one week before your wedding or event.

Question 8

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

Whatever suits! You can complete the booking form to check availability, drop me a note via the contact form, or email/call me.

Once we know your date is free, I’ll send over a few quick details and a short agreement for peace of mind.

When the deposit is received, your booking is confirmed in my diary.

Question 9

Do you take breaks while playing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — like all musicians, I take short breaks to rest my hands, usually after around an hour to 90 minutes of playing.

But don’t worry — I make sure the atmosphere never dips. When I step away, I can play gentle piano music through my speakers so the sound continues seamlessly.

Most guests don’t even notice I’ve taken a break!
