Pianists in Blackpool

Wedding and event pianists in Blackpool

The sound of a live piano gives a wedding a touch of elegance. In Blackpool, pianists play ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, and some sing as well, bringing both background music and a few special moments.

Across Blackpool, pianists are booked for weddings and events in and around Blackpool, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood. Venues in the area include Savoy Hotel, Blackpool Tower Ballroom and The Winter Gardens, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. You'll find more Blackpool venues below, including The Imperial Hotel, North Promenade, Park House Hotel and Grand Hotel Blackpool, each with its own page.

The piano suits almost every part of the day. Classical pieces work beautifully for a ceremony, light jazz and film themes for a drinks reception, and piano versions of pop songs keep a wedding breakfast relaxed.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every pianist listed here travels to Blackpool as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £250 to £900, depending on the act and the date
  • Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
  • Popular dates go months in advance
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

An instrumental pianist suits a ceremony, a drinks reception or a dinner where the music should stay in the background. A singer-pianist adds vocals, which works well for the aisle, a first dance or a later set where guests want to join in.

Most pianist bookings fall between £250 and £900. A ceremony-only booking sits at the lower end, while a pianist covering the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast, or a singer-pianist playing into the evening, sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

“Lee was very professional, a great pianist and very well presented. He found his way to the venue and was all set up and playing by the time I met him for the first time. Very well recommended.”

“I booked Alan to peform at our Masonic Bicentenary event in West Kilbride. It was a tough ask; an all male audience on a beautiful sunny day in broad daylight. To say Alan nailed it is a huge understatment. He wowed the audience with his talent, particularly the Billy Joel fans. He read the room perfectly, played exactly what was needed to keep the crowd happy and at the end brought the house down and enjoyed a well earned standing ovation. An absolute triumph. What a musician and entertainer!”

“Lee Smallman is a good musician and has a wide repertoire. His manner helped to create a convivial atmosphere. It was evident from the start that he drew on considerable experience, despite his youthfulness. Everyone at the party found him and his playing delightful.”

“Joe was perfect for our wedding. He played and sang beautifully both during the reception and for 3 hours during the reception dinner and after-party. He made our day even more special. My family kept him busy all night making all kinds of song requests and he played them all! Booking him again for my mum's birthday party next year.”
