About Lewis

Wedding & events pianist with performances at Wimbledon, Four Seasons & royal families. Creating elegant and unforgettable atmospheres. 💫
Pianist
Tadley
Public liability insurance of £5 million

I am a professional pianist based in Berkshire, specialising in weddings, hotels, private events, proposals, and corporate dinners. My mission is simple: to create unforgettable atmospheres with music that feels personal, elegant, and timeless. My style blends the sophistication of modern‑classical piano with the familiarity of popular music and soundtracks. Alongside arrangements of contemporary hits, you’ll hear favourites from Bridgerton, La La Land, Love Actually, and the works of Ludovico Einaudi in my performances. Every event is unique, and I take pride in tailoring each set to suit the exact mood — whether that’s playing you down the aisle, underscoring a speech, or setting a warm ambience for fine dining. Highlights from my career include residencies at Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts and the Wimbledon Championships, as well as performances in front of members of the Royal Family, the Prime Minister, celebrities, and leading private clubs in Mayfair such as The Lansdowne Club and the Institute of Directors at Pall Mall. These opportunities have given me the chance to perform for a wide range of audiences, all while maintaining the same focus: ensuring the music blends seamlessly into the occasion while making it unforgettable for those at its centre. For weddings, I work closely with each couple to design a musical experience that reflects their story. Every moment is carefully planned — from welcoming guests before the ceremony, to the aisle walk, signing of the register, and the grand exit. Couples are welcome to choose any song (piano‑based or not), which I’ll personally arrange into a bespoke piano version. I love sharing progress recordings in the lead‑up so that you know exactly how your piece will sound, making the journey as special as the day itself. When you book me for your event, my goal is to give you complete peace of mind. You can expect polished professionalism, clear communication, and a genuine enthusiasm to contribute to your event’s success.

Lewis was fab! He was really easy to communicate with and very flexible. He learnt an extra piece of music that we really love and it was magic hearing it played as we walked down the aisle. I would thoroughly recommend him - a true talent and a lovely guy.

Lewis Bolland played the Grand Piano for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary Dinner for a crowd of over 200 people. He brought the occasion to life with his elegant playing and diverse repertoire. Lewis read the room and the occasion beautifully and changed tempo to suit the various festivities that were going on through the evening. Lewis was the consummate professional in ensuring he anticipated the available instruments and ensured that they were in tune and ready to play on the day. He kept in constant communication and was very quick to respond to all my numerous questions. Despite having to travel quite a distance to the venue, Lewis was punctual to a fault and remained at all times discrete but made his presence felt through his beautiful music. Lastly, I can never thank Lewis enough for the kindness he showed to myself and my family in ensuring this very special day for my parents was made even more memorable by his presence and beauty of his playing. Would wholeheartedly recommend Lewis to anyone else who would like to avail themselves of his talent.

Customer questions

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

Please do not worry. Things like this happen often and all I ask is that you let me know of any time changes as soon as possible.

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

Yes, I can provide background music from my phone through either my PA system or the venue’s, helping to keep the atmosphere flowing smoothly between sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually take around 20–30 minutes to set up my equipment and have a quick warm‑up before the performance.

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

Yes, I actually prefer this whenever possible. The piano just needs to be in good working order and in tune for the best sound. If you’d like, you can pass me your venue’s contact details and I’ll happily check everything directly with them for you.

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

My set list has been crafted from countless performances and learning what works best. That said, I’m always happy to chat and make sure we choose the songs that feel right for your event.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Of course! I have a beautiful white piano shell, with my professional digital piano inside, creating the look of a grand piano while ensuring a flawless sound and elegant aesthetic.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, absolutely. While I usually perform from a set collection of songs that works for all occasions, I’m always happy to learn special requests. I just ask for as much notice as possible so I can perfect it for your event.
