Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
If the timings change I just need to know as soon as possible. Usually I will not book more than one gig per day as long as I am needed at your event for an hour and a half or more.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I can play a Spotify playist of your choice inbetween my sets through my PA
How much time do you need to set up?
I will like to allow at least an hour to set up my PA and assemble my portable baby grand piano and have a sound check.
If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
I like to take my portable baby grand piano to the venue with me which is electric.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
You can choose all your desired songs for a wedding ceremony and I guarantee for any other part of the wedding or event that you can have at least 10 requested songs from my extensive list
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
Yes, I will always bring my own piano unless the venue can provide one.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
I can learn requested songs for Wedding Ceremonys, funerals or first dances, to name a few examples. There will be a small additional charge for learning new reportoire to cover the cost of rehearsal time.
