Pianists in the East of England

Find pianists for your wedding or event in the East of England

The East of England covers a lot of ground, from Bedford, Bury St Edmunds, Chelmsford, Hertford, Peterborough and Norwich. Our pianists travel right across the region, so wherever your wedding or event is, you'll find acts on this page who already know the venues, the roads and the local crowds. They're booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners.

Our listings for the East of England take in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.

Venues across the East of England include Corner 5 Restaurant, Branches Park Estate, Baddow Park House, Tewinbury, Swynford Manor and Oxnead Hall. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

Across the East of England you can choose from classical, jazz and pop pianists, and singing pianists. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

We've been booking pianists since 1999, and every act on this page travels across the East of England. Travel and, where needed, a digital piano are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

What to know:

  • Budget £250 to £900 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes travel and, where needed, a digital piano
  • Travel within the East of England is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Some venues have sound limiters, early finishes or restrictions on where acts can set up. Check these early, as they can decide which line-up is the better fit for your wedding or event.

Smaller line-ups typically start from around £250, while bigger acts can reach £900 or more. Summer Saturdays and December are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes travel and, where needed, a digital piano, so it won't change once you've booked.

Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

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 the East of England 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.

“Joe is a top class, dynamic musician both solo and in his various band projects. His stage presence and confidence makes him a very popular musician and a great booking all kinds of venues. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality live music. Thanks for your hard work at Thirteen (Guildford) and all the best going forward!”

“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!”
