Pianists in Manchester

Hire a pianist in Manchester

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

Across Manchester, pianists are booked for weddings and events in and around Manchester, Salford and Stockport. Venues in the area include Ordsall Hall, Manchester Hall and Great John Street Hotel, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. You'll find more Manchester venues below, including The Midland Hotel, Victoria Baths and The Monastery Manchester, each with its own page.

A pianist can make a well-known song sound new. Many build their repertoire around piano arrangements of pop, musical and film songs, alongside the classical pieces couples often choose for the aisle.

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

The essentials:

• Prices usually from £250 up to £900
• Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
• Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
• The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
• 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

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.

Most pianist bookings fall between £250 and £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. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.

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.
