Pianists in Lancaster

Hire a pianist in Lancaster

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

Whether your wedding is near Lancaster, Morecambe and Carnforth or further afield, the pianists here cover the whole of Lancaster. Local venues include Wennington Hall, The Out Barn and The Storey, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. You'll find more Lancaster venues below, including Forrest Hills, Lancaster House Hotel and The Borough, each with its own page.

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 Lancaster 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.

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.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.

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.

“We were lucky enough to have Piers Benjamin play at our wedding. We gave him a few songs and the kind of vibe we wanted - then he did the rest. He was fantastic! He had our guests tapping their feet as they entered the venue, and greeted friends. He was the perfect person to set the mood for our wedding. Lots of our friends have commented on how he great he was what a quirky, unique vibe he lent to the occasion. So pleased we went with him and we will definitely use him again.”
