Pianists in Cardiff

Wedding and event pianists in Cardiff

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

Across Cardiff, pianists are booked for weddings and events in and around Cardiff, Penarth and Barry. Venues in the area include Pencoed House Estate, Cardiff Castle and National Museum Cardiff, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. You'll find more Cardiff venues below, including Llanerch Vineyard, Hensol Castle and Coed-y-Mwstwr, each with its own page.

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 Cardiff as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

The essentials:

• Prices usually from £250 up to £900
• Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
• Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
• The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
• 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

Some venues have a grand or upright piano that the pianist can use. Where there isn't one, most pianists bring a digital piano that sounds and plays like the real thing. Check with your venue, and tell us when you enquire.

Prices usually start from around £250 and go up to £900 or so. 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. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

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.
