Professional Wedding & Corporate Entertainment - Wedding Pianist Versatile

Steve will travel absolutely anywhere within the UK, and all quotes include travel costs and free provision of a Yamaha digital piano (keyboard) if the venue doesn't have their own piano.

Steve uses a discreet but powerful custom sound system, which eliminates the need for large cumbersome speakers, trailing leads etc, and the sound you get from this system is identical to the sounds you hear on this website - shut your eyes and it could be a real Yamaha grand piano being played!

Steve has spent many years experimenting with different sound set-ups, and has tried to steer away from the "amplified keyboard" sound from PA systems, common to most performers. Realism is key, and with this setup, you will get the depth and warmth of a real grand piano sound which fits perfectly into any situation, be it pleasant background music for a wedding breakfast or reception, wedding ceremony music or a slightly more "robust" sound for a party atmosphere.

You can also liase with Steve to ensure your day goes perfectly. For example, if you are stuck for ideas of what music to choose for your Wedding Ceremony, Steve can give you some ideas - have a look at the ceremony music help page he has written for clients HERE - (page will open in a separate window).

He can play any piece of music you require, he doesn't necessarily need sheet music - Steve can work music out from a recording or youtube link - so please ask.

GRAND PIANO SHELL - NEW!

As an optional extra, Steve can provide a fantastic 'Grand Piano Shell', into which his keyboard fits. This looks and sounds like a BABY GRAND, but comes flatpacked and can fit just about anywhere! See the PIANO SHELL page for some images. This definitely beats paying hundreds for the hire of a real grand piano!

The keyboard setup can fit into very tight spaces, and the Grand Piano shell takes up approx 1.5 metres squared, although ideally should have 2 metres squared including clearance, in order for people to move around it safely. Click HERE for some photos of the two setups.

WEDDING PACKAGES

Drinks Reception

Includes up to 1.5 hours' playing while you have photographs taken, and guests mingle etc.

PLEASE NOTE: If he is also playing for your wedding breakfast, he will play for up to 1 hour for the drinks reception - usually 2 x 30 minute sets (allowing time to move equipment and/or have a short break before playing again).
