Verified profile

I love bringing warmth, elegance and a touch of magic to every wedding I play for. Couples often tell me how easy and reassuring the whole process feels, from the first message to the final note. My aim is to keep everything flowing smoothly with professionalism and a calm, friendly approach. With years of experience and a repertoire spanning pop, easy listening, classical, musicals, jazz favourites and Disney, I create a soundtrack that feels both personal and timeless. Every piece is thoughtfully chosen and adapted to suit the moment, from the anticipation of walking down the aisle, to the joy of signing the register, or the relaxed atmosphere of a drinks reception or wedding breakfast. What makes my performances special is my willingness to go the extra mile. I’m always happy to learn new songs chosen by couples, transforming their favourite tunes into elegant, meaningful piano arrangements. This personal touch not only delights guests but also ensures the music tells each couple’s story in a way words alone cannot. For couples wanting to create unforgettable memories, my music is more than background. It’s the heartbeat of the celebration. Bring your wedding to life with beautiful live piano music.

Craig Sutcliffe: Wedding Pianist's Reviews

5 out of 5

We had the absolute pleasure of having Craig as our pianist, and he was truly outstanding. From start to finish, his performance added a beautiful atmosphere to the day — elegant, emotive, and perfectly suited to the occasion. His talent is undeniable, and he played every piece with incredible finesse and feeling. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful the music was, and it made a real difference to the overall experience. Craig was also professional, punctual, and a joy to have at our wedding. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to add a touch of class and charm to their event. Mr & Mrs Galvin

Craig played at our venue recently and was fantastic, all the guests loved his music and playing. Very easy to deal with and efficient in the booking process. Thank you Craig.

Craig played beautifully.. especially my ceremony entrance song (the greatest showman - a million dreams) it was perfect! I would’ve liked it if he’d come outside for the reception drinks as we did have the nice weather for that part of the day and everyone was outside. Unfortunately I didn’t get chance to meet Craig as I was outside doing photos etc but Thankyou for playing at our wedding!

We would highly recommend Craig. He playing for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in December 2022. He is a very talented pianist and extremely accommodating with song requests. He was a pleasure to communicate with and very professional. Thank you soo much for providing the music for our special day.

Couldn’t recommend Craig more. He played at our recent wedding and was delightful. Perfect communication before the wedding and such beautiful songs on the day with not one single note missed. We had so many compliments on Craig on the day and after. He was such an amazing addition to making our day perfect. Thank you Craig!!

They love that I play from a wide range of genres and that I cater for everyone's musical tastes at their wedding and event. They like that I take time to listen to them about what type of music they want to have at their ceremony, drinks reception or breakfast.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

The artists that have influenced me the most are the artists who's music is full of passion and romance. I love the classical composers, Beethoven, Mozart & Puccini. Today, I really love the music of Oasis, Muse and The Courteeners.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Arriving on a film/TV set to play James Harriot's dad who is a professional pianist in the channel 5 TV show, All creatures great and small, that was an amazing experience. I had to learn a piece of piano music by Mendelssohn. I got to meet the actors and director, they were all superb.

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

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

N/A

How much time do you need to set up?

I need 15 minutes set up time and just need a plug sockets for my keyboard and amp (if the amp is required.) All my equipment is PAT tested.

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. I can also play the Pipe, Theatre and Electric Organ.

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

Yes, I encourage you to pick your favourite songs that I can play at your event. Please let me know a month in Advance.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, absolutely! I can bring my own Roland Digital Piano instrument to play acoustically. If needed, I can also bring my Roland amp.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

This is what I love the most about playing at weddings, being asked to play songs or pieces of music that means so much to the happy couple.
