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.

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:

​

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