Pianists in Buckinghamshire

Hire a pianist in Buckinghamshire

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

Across Buckinghamshire, pianists are booked for weddings and events in and around Aylesbury and High Wycombe. Venues in the area include Hedsor House, Hartwell House & Spa and The Dairy at Waddesdon, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Notley Tythe Barn, Latimer Place and Stoke Place, with details of each.

A pianist can make a well-known song sound new. Many build their repertoire around piano arrangements of pop, musical and film songs, alongside the classical pieces couples often choose for the aisle.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each pianist on this page travels to Buckinghamshire as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £250 to £900, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind 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.

Expect to pay from around £250 up to £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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

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.

FAQs

Usually the ceremony music, then background music during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Repertoire ranges from classical pieces to piano versions of pop, film and musical songs.

Some can. Singer-pianists add vocals for the aisle, the first dance or a sing-along set, and each act's page makes clear which they offer.

Most pianists bring a digital piano. If your venue in Buckinghamshire has its own piano, tell us and the pianist will check it's suitable.

Enough room for the piano and a stool, and a power socket for a digital piano. A space of around two by two metres is usually plenty.

“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!”
