Pianists in Lancashire

Wedding and event pianists in Lancashire

Live piano adds a sense of occasion without getting in the way. In Lancashire, pianists are booked for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and dinners, playing anything from classical pieces to piano versions of modern songs.

Popular wedding venues in Lancashire include Stanley House, Eaves Hall and Bartle Hall, and our pianists travel to weddings and events across Preston, Blackburn and Burnley. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Other venues in the area include Mitton Hall, Wyresdale Park Wedding Barns and The Shireburn Arms, and each has its own venue page further down.

Pianists cover a range of styles. Some play instrumental sets of classical and contemporary pieces; others sing at the piano and can move from background music to a sing-along set later on.

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

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

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.

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.

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 wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“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!”

Tom’s versatility was commendable as he seamlessly switched genres, catering to the diverse preferences of the attendees. His ability to read the room and gauge the energy level ensured that the music perfectly complemented the party atmosphere.
