Pianists in Durham
Hire a pianist in Durham
A pianist is one of the most flexible acts you can book for a wedding or event. Across Durham, pianists play the ceremony, keep the atmosphere relaxed during drinks and the meal, and some sing as well for a livelier set later on.
Across Durham, pianists are booked for weddings and events in and around Durham, Darlington and Bishop Auckland. Venues in the area include Lumley Castle, Ramside Hall Hotel and Durham Castle, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Black Horse Beamish, Bradbury Glade and Hardwick Hall Hotel, with details of each.
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.

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.
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.
Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
