Some have found that this gives them the

 Live Music

they want but leaves more

time and money

available for something else.

It will keep everyone entertained during those tricky times whilst the guests are

arriving, being fed or waiting for the photographer

Old time, romantic solo piano perfectly suits an indoor occasion if you are having a dance later as it makes an ideal contrast to the hectic fun of the dance.

A real piano is best but, if the venue doesn’t have a piano, I can bring an electronic one.

 

We know how important the day is so

we always dress for the occasion.

I will play more modern piano music if required but most seem to find that the old time music is more relaxing and suits the occasion better.

Prices from £180

 

 Hint; Even the best planned weddings tend to run late so you should book more time than you think you need. It costs a bit more but it saves you worrying about it on the day.
