Pianists in Norfolk

Hire a pianist in Norfolk

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

Popular wedding venues in Norfolk include Hautbois Hall, Voewood and Hockwold Hall, and our pianists travel to weddings and events across Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. 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 Manor Mews, Bayfield Hall and Oxnead Hall, and each has its own venue page further down.

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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The pianists listed here all travel to Norfolk, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

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

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.

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.

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 Norfolk 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.

Typically £250 to £900, depending on how long they play and the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most can, given enough notice. Mention it when you enquire.

“Alan Ryden was fantastic at our ceremony and drinks reception! We could not have asked for better, amazing pianist and singer and played anything we asked. All our guests loved him!”

(5)

“Alan was fantastic, he played 3 sets with the middle one being Elton John which was fabulous. He read the crowd and knew exactly what would get everyone going. We had a mixed age range and everyone loved it. Highly recommend Alan for any party.
Thanks to the team at Hire a Band for organising everything for us.”

“Thanks so much to Alan for another fantastic performance! He got everyone dancing and made the party so memorable. Appreciate all the support from the Hireaband team in the lead up to the event too - you made everything super easy. Fabulous!”

(5)

“Before the day I was able to speak to Tom directly about any requests I had and to iron out any details of the day. On the day itself Tom contacted me by phone to let me know he was set up which was a large weight off my mind . The quality of his performance was superb and we were able to tailor it to exactly what we wanted. Many friends and family have commented on how good the piano was and we would have no hesitations in recommending to all of our friends and family.”

“We've worked with Joe for over 2 years now and have seen him gone from strength to strength. He's reliable, works very hard and never lets us down. He's a great musician and genuinely lovely person.”
