Weddings
I offer music for the entire day. From years of experience, I know how to perform and entertain your guests for every part of the day. Elegant and beautiful music for the ceremony, interesting and atmospheric for drinks reception, engaging and entertaining for the dinner, and wildly energetic and thrilling party music. Over a range of instruments the guest will be entertained and enjoy the spectacle of me moving between the instruments. It is a unique performance. With just myself needing to be booked, it saves you the hassle of finding separate performers for each section of the day. There is also a saving to be made in having all your entertainment covered in one cost. ( please see FAQ for costs).
You can hire me for the whole day or half. That being ceremony - first dance or first dance to end of night. Preference is given to clients booking the whole day.
Please do contact me for further info and requests. Im happy to discuss and accommodate requests.
CEREMONY
As your guests arrive I can be playing classical versions of your favourite songs arranged on cello. You pick the songs as I can record bespoke backing tracks on piano playing the live cello. You can be walking down the aisle to beautiful live cello. Alternatively you can pick from Piano, Ukulele or Guitar with vocals if you wish. I cover music for the signing, exit and any communal singing.
Enjoy some examples of the cello music I've created and played for other clients at the bottom of the page.
DRINKS RECEPTION
Indoors or outdoors, for the drinks reception I can be playing guitar and ukulele. Background music of cool classic and unexpected songs arranged for the two instruments.
DINNER
For the dinner I play the piano and begin the Piano Animal show. Playing you into the room with a raucous chorus of your favourite song, I begin taking requests. Your guests will love testing my song knowledge and I’ll have them and dancing and singing at their tables throughout. Alternatively I can be playing romantic background piano and build into the party as dinner progresses.
FIRST DANCE AND PARTY
I can create piano ballad versions of any song for your first dance. Please enjoy examples of these in the Soundcloud link below.
The party is where I give full barrel piano animal. Live, loud, unrelenting piano energy, for 3 hours solid. No backing tracks, No lyrics sheet, No stopping. A one man band, human jukebox. Everyone tries to put it into words, the only real way to understand it, is to see it and hear it for yourselves.
OVERSEAS WEDDINGS
Im very happy to travel overseas for destination weddings. Ive travelled as far as Sydney, Marrakesh, Hong Kong and Pheonix for weddings as well as all the beautiful European countries.
I offer the exact same performance, with ceremony through to the end of the night if you wish. There is still only one single fee to cover everything including flights and accommodation. The only difference is the need to hire in the larger equipment that I’m unable to fly with. These will need to be hired in and covered by the booker. A full list of the equipment, including keyboard and speakers is listed in the FAQ.
