Shona's Reviews

5 out of 5

Shona was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have wished for a more amazing, personal, professional, and talented singer to sing us down the aisle, sing at our champagne reception, and during our wedding breakfast. Shona was on time, had learned and executed our personal song choices better than we could have imagined, and all our guests were blown away. Shona’s performances have been a massive talking point of the wedding and we would 10000% recommend her.

Shona was amazing throughout. Super helpful with any queries and responded really quickly with advice and answers. Her voice is beautiful and everyone complimented how amazing she sounded. I definitely recommend if you’re looking to book a pianist for your event!

We are so glad we booked Shona for our wedding. She is incredibly talented and had everyone in tears during our ceremony. Afterwards she provided great background music for our drinks reception which suited all tastes. Throughout the booking process she was easy to contact and professional. We will be recommending her to all our friends and family.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients enjoy the warm and relaxing atmosphere my music creates, my song selection - 'modern but non cheesy' - my ability to learn requests for their ceremony, and my communication and preparation before the event means clients can just relax and enjoy their special day.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

The Venue, Halifax Manor House Lindley The Oakwood at Ryther The Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey East Riddlesden Hall Bowcliffe Hall Gisborough Hall Sandburn Hall Crathorne Hall Thief Hall Wortley Hall The Gamekeeper's Inn, Skipton National Centre for Early Music Bunny Hill Weddings The Priest's House Middleton Lodge Grantley Hall Rudding Park And many more!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

So many, but to note a few - Corinne Bailey Rae, Lianne la Havas, Regina Spektor, Gabrielle Aplin, Joni Mitchell, Adele and Norah Jones.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Don't worry, it happens! Just let me know as soon as anything changes and I will do my best to be flexible and adapt to your timings to help things run as smoothly as possible.

How much time do you need to set up?

I like to arrive at a venue around 1.5 hours before performance time, and setup/pack down time is usually around 20 minutes.

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Yes of course - as long as the piano is in working order and in tune, then I'm happy to play on it!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

You are more than welcome to choose songs from my set list in advance. Alternatively, I can choose songs suitable for the audience and mood at the time.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Absolutely! I have a Nord Stage keyboard and Bose PA.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in my set list, there may still be a chance I already know it or can learn it for you. You are welcome to request up to 3 songs in advance, at no extra cost.
