Public liability insurance of £10 million

I’m a classically trained pianist providing elegant live piano music for weddings across Scotland, combining sophisticated classical playing with modern, personalised piano covers. Alongside performing classical repertoire to a high professional standard, I specialise in creating bespoke piano arrangements for couples who want something truly personal for their day. Whether it’s a favorite love song, a piece from a film soundtrack, or something completely unique, I enjoy transforming meaningful music into beautiful piano versions that feel completely yours. If you’re unsure what music to choose, I provide curated setlists covering a wide range of styles - classical, pop, rock, film, and showtunes - so you can pick pieces you love without feeling overwhelmed. My performances bring a relaxed, romantic atmosphere to a wedding, from the ceremony entrance to the drinks reception or wedding breakfast. I work closely with each couple to shape the music for the day, making sure every moment feels thoughtful and perfectly suited to the occasion. My ceremony package includes 10 minutes of backround music and 2-4 requests during the ceremony. For receptions you can choose between 1 or 2 sets of 60 minute sets of piano music, curated from my setlists. As part of the experience, I can also record your chosen song or bespoke piano arrangement as a keepsake, giving you a lasting musical memory of your wedding. With every event my aim is to deliver a beautiful, high-quality piano music backdrop to your day that feels memorable, and crafted especially for you!

Mianoora's Reviews

Friendly, punctual and professional. Mianoora was an oasis of calm on our wedding day which really helped take the pressure off! She dealt with all the practicalities of set up quickly and efficiently. A master of her craft. Her playing was beautiful, it really enhanced the magic and special energy of our wedding ceremony. The guests loved it too! Mianoora’s repertoire is extensive yet well curated. My wife and I had a great time listening to her list of recommendations so we could pick just what we wanted to match the vibes we had in mind. Communication was great, in our phone consultation she talked us through the little things we hadn’t thought about to ensure all went smoothly on the day. Her enthousiasm is infectious, Mianoora brings a personal touch that really makes you glad she is going to be a part of your big day! We would hire her again for any events we host in the future, thank you Mianoora!

Paige & Andrew Mianoora played at our wedding on the 25th of September 2021, and she was absolutely wonderful! Her piano performance added a magical touch to our special day. The music was spot-on and really set the perfect mood throughout the event. Mianoora was professional and easy to work with, and even managed varying genres of music to play. Our guests were really impressed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pianist. Our guests actually still compliment our wedding music today. If you’re looking for someone who brings both skill and charm to your event, Mianoora is a great choice!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I create highly personalized performances in modern piano style that sound like the couple of the day! I curate my setlists for the event based on your preferences and musical tastes instead of just providing a blanket of every possible genre. You only like rock ? No problem! I also record your unique piano cover requests for a keepsake for later :)

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Oban Cathedral, Stockbridge Church, St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Falkirk Trinity Church, St Andrew's Cathedral, Cathedral of the Isles, Stevenson Hall, St Conan's Kirk, Bechstein Centre Manchester, House of an Art lover, Killearn Village Hall, Jordanhill Parish Church, Craighnish Village Hall, and many more!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I'm a classical pianist by training so my biggest influences in my playing would be the likes of Chopin, Bach and Debussy, but I'm also a fan of Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, TOTO, Deep purple and Earth Wind and Fire so an interesting mix !

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

I can be flexible and adjust accordingly so that everything runs as smoothly as possible. I'm very used to changing situations and adapting quickly even during the ceremonies and performances!

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

No, I only provide live music.

How much time do you need to set up?

I can set up quickly in 30 minutes, and If I need to change location at the event then another 20 minutes.

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

Yes absolutely! ( I can also play organ if you happen to be in a church) but you might want to confirm with the venue if the instrument at the venue is tuned and in working order.

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

Absolutely, I have curated the set list to be a romantic mix covering multiple genres and decades, but for example if you feel like you don't want to hear one of the genres at all I'm happy to remove or add specific genres. In fact, I would prefer couples let me know what they like and what they don't so I can make the sets sound more like the couple!

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, I will bring a high quality digital piano and amplification with me, I just need a space of about 5 feet by 5 feet to perform.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes! If your requests are outside of my setlist, please send your requests to me minimum 4 weeks before the event. You can browse my setlists for ideas if you are stuck choosing your music. In the case of creating a piano cover of a song, I can also provide a snippet recording of how your piece is going to sound as a piano version prior to the event.
