Pianists in Shropshire

Wedding and event pianists in Shropshire

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

Popular wedding venues in Shropshire include Wilde Lodge, Rowton Castle and Davenport House, and our pianists travel to weddings and events across Shrewsbury, Telford and Oswestry. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. The Mill Barns, Wistanstow Village Hall and Walcot Hall are among the other Shropshire venues listed further down, 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Shropshire 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.

“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 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.”
