Pianists in Oxfordshire

Hire a pianist in Oxfordshire

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

Across Oxfordshire, pianists are booked for weddings and events in and around Oxford, Banbury and Witney. Venues in the area include Old Luxters Barn, Blenheim Palace and Acorn Barn, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Other venues in the area include Caswell House, Ardington House and Hadsham Farm, 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.

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

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £250 to £900, depending on the act and the date
  • Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
  • Popular dates go months in advance
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full 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.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

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 Oxfordshire 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.

“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.”
