Pianists in Swansea

Hire a pianist in Swansea

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

Swansea has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Morgans Hotel and Sketty Hall to Oldwalls Gower. Our pianists travel to towns across the area, including Swansea, Mumbles and Neath, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Parc Le Breos House, King Arthur Hotel and Craig y Nos Castle are among the other Swansea venues listed further down, each with its own page.

Pianists cover a range of styles. Some play instrumental sets of classical and contemporary pieces; others sing at the piano and can move from background music to a sing-along set later on.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every pianist on this page covers Swansea. 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

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.

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.

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 Swansea 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.

“Lee was very professional, a great pianist and very well presented. He found his way to the venue and was all set up and playing by the time I met him for the first time. Very well recommended.”

“I booked Alan to peform at our Masonic Bicentenary event in West Kilbride. It was a tough ask; an all male audience on a beautiful sunny day in broad daylight. To say Alan nailed it is a huge understatment. He wowed the audience with his talent, particularly the Billy Joel fans. He read the room perfectly, played exactly what was needed to keep the crowd happy and at the end brought the house down and enjoyed a well earned standing ovation. An absolute triumph. What a musician and entertainer!”
