Pianists in Leeds & West Yorkshire

Wedding and event pianists in Leeds & West Yorkshire

A pianist is one of the most flexible acts you can book for a wedding or event. Across Leeds & West Yorkshire, pianists play the ceremony, keep the atmosphere relaxed during drinks and the meal, and some sing as well for a livelier set later on.

Leeds & West Yorkshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Bowcliffe Hall and Lineham Farm to Weetwood Hall Hotel. Our pianists travel to towns across the area, including Leeds and Wakefield, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Other venues in the area include Oulton Hall, The Mansion, Roundhay and Mirfield Monastery, 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.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every pianist on this page covers Leeds & West Yorkshire. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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

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.

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.

“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!”
