Civil Wedding Ceremonies and Partnerships

Have you considered a pianist for your wedding?  I have years of experience playing background music, I'm currently the resident pianist at the Regent Theatre, Hanley where you'll find me on a Thursday or Friday night.  I believe live piano music creates the perfect ambiance and gives your wedding that special touch.  I have a wide repertoire to suit all tastes and ages and I try to read the audience to play music for the moment.  So why not make your occasion more memorable by having a live pianist which will entertain and help stimulate conversations too.  Having a live pianist playing during any part of your wedding creates a very classy and upmarket feel.  I can create the perfect ambiance for both you and your guests and tailor music to your needs.  Below are some suggestions for music I have performed at other weddings but as your day is unique the choice is entirely down to yourselves.  Please take a look at my repertoire page for more song choices.

Please note if you are getting married at a venue other than a church some of the music may not be suitable if it has any religious content so you would need to get permission from the registrar beforehand.

I now have a stunning White Grand Piano shell available for use, this will be a talking point and will be fully portable and will enable you to have a grand piano without the extra cost.  To secure a booking I require a £20 non refundable deposit which can either be paid by cash, cheque or bank transfer.  Payment in full is required 7 days prior to the event or cash paid on the day.

Here are some of the venues I have played at:

I've also played in marquees and at private functions held at various venues.

I am able to play outside (weather permitting) as long as there is power supplied for my digital piano.

Church Weddings

Entrance of the bride

Most couples choose the traditional Wedding March (Here comes the bride) but other music could include:

• The Grand March from Aida

• Ode to Joy (Beethoven)

• Air from Handel's Water Music

• or of course anything personal to yourselves

​

Signing of the Register

Music for this part of the ceremony needs to be more relaxed and could include:

• Ave Maria

• Piu Jesu

• Air on a G String

• Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring

• Canon in D

​

Exit of the newly weds

Again most couples choose the traditional Wedding March but other suggestions are:

• Trumpet Voluntary

• Grand March Aida

• Ode to Joy

​

I've listed above examples of classical music but you can choose anything, including any of the songs listed in my repertoire.  

​

Whilst I am not an organist, if you would like to have the piano for your church wedding, I can bring along my own portable digital piano and either play the traditional organ sound or maybe have some music played with the piano sound, the choice is yours.

Below are a few suggestions for the main parts of the ceremony.
