Pianists in Surrey

Hire a pianist in Surrey

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

Whether your wedding is near Guildford, Woking and Epsom or further afield, the pianists here cover the whole of Surrey. Local venues include Ramster Hall, Great Fosters and Gate Street Barn, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. You'll find more Surrey venues below, including Hampton Court House, Millbridge Court and Royal Grammar School Guildford, each with its own page.

The piano suits almost every part of the day. Classical pieces work beautifully for a ceremony, light jazz and film themes for a drinks reception, and piano versions of pop songs keep a wedding breakfast relaxed.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each pianist on this page travels to Surrey as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

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.

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.

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 Surrey 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.

“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.”
