Frequently Asked Questions 

Here are some questions to bear in mind when contacting me about your wedding.

• Do you require piano or organ accompaniment – or both?
• Would you like me to accompany a singer?
• Do you have a singer in mind or would you like me to source one?
• Do you have any particular entrance or exit music in mind?
• Would you like any particular hymns or songs during the ceremony (or do you require advice on these?)
• Do you require background music during guests’ arrival?
• Do you require background music during the ceremony? E.g. during the register signing.
• Do you require background music at your reception?

There is no minimum or maximum time I will play for. I charge an hourly rate, but for practical reasons I often break this down into shorter sessions of 30 or 45 minutes. How long you want in total, and whether you want me to play in segments is totally at your discretion.

I have a Kurzweil Artis stage piano (88 keys) which I can use to simulate orchestral / instrumental sounds (eg. an organ for a wedding entrance march). Being a stage piano, it requires amplification so I would use either one or two Behringer Eurolive 1200W combo speakers with or without speaker stands, depending on the venue and room size. I also have a portable Casio Privia PX350MBK which due to its size and weight would be more suitable for smaller venues. Finally, I have an Allen & Heath stereo mixer which vocalists and choirs can plug into (n.b. you will need to supply your own microphones).

Please note all my electrical equipment and leads are fully PAT tested each year.

No travel expenses are charged within the Wirral, North Wales, Merseyside or Cheshire. Otherwise, these will be negotiable depending on venue location.
