Hi! I'm Milly Rose. I'm a pianist/singer based in the Scottish Borders. I am versatile, accomplished and adaptable. I enjoy performing a vast range of styles and am very happy to adapt my performances to suit your needs. I LOVE working with couples to create a bespoke setlist for their special day, and am always really happy to work with individual requests! I am a classically trained pianist but love a wide range of musical styles, and love singing modern songs, from current charts to ballads over the years - all with an elegant, polished, sophisticated sense of Milly Rose style! I am super friendly and personable, as well as being an excellent communicator and with the utmost standards of professionalism. I love working with each couple individually to create a totally unique, musical experience that reflects their own special journey and personalities. A bit on my musical background/training: Playing the piano has always been a huge part of my life, having completed my ABRSM Grade 8 at just 13 years old. Since then, I have studied piano performance at Durham University as part of my Music Degree and have also taught piano extensively. I have been performing as a pianist/singer for years, in a range of venues and settings. I love performing at weddings! It is such a joy to be part of your special day. Likewise, I have been singing for forever! I grew up in a household of singers and musicians, which nurtured this love early on in my life. Since then, I have performed as both a solo vocalist, and in groups, at weddings and in many other settings, including as a member of the prestigious Durham Choir in Durham Cathedral. I am also a successful choral director, leading choirs in performances for events and competitively. I have the technical, classical training but love modern music. In fact, I personally enjoy such a range of musical styles that my repertoire is naturally very vast. I really enjoy applying my academic, classical musical understanding to my modern performance style. I think it makes for a really interesting, unique and stylistic vibe! Whether you are looking for a classical pianist for your ceremony, or an upbeat pianist/singer for your reception, I'm your gal! I have a friendly, enthusiastic and cheery manner and am happy to chat with you to discuss your individual needs. My performance style is polished and sophisticated, with classical refinement applied to modern genres. I love covering heartfelt pop/acoustic favourites, as well as unexpected reworks of well-known songs and good old nostalgic throwbacks! I think being someone who likes performing so many different musical styles works in my favour as it means I can cover a range of your requests! Have a song you’ve always loved and imagined for your special day? Let me know! I am versatile, warm and experienced, and I can’t wait to help make your special day even more special! Milly ☺️🎶

Milly played and sang at an event I arranged last year. She provided the perfect repertoire; appealing to all ages, all tastes. She was versatile enough to tailor her choice of songs to the mood and requirements of the audience with anything from gentle, laidback tracks to high energy, dance floor favourites! When appropriate, she played some beautiful piano pieces as background to the meal, which added a touch of style to the whole occasion. I would highly recommend her to add sparkle to any occasion and I look forward to working with her again soon!

I was lucky enough to book Milly for an event earlier this year, and it was wonderful to work with her. She has a great voice and played the piano with a lot of emotion, blending modern pop with atmospheric heartfelt vibes. A soft cover of Chappell Roan set a dreamy mood early on, and later, a stripped-down version of Coldplay's 'A Sky Full Of Stars' brought real energy to the room - even without a full band! She had excellent stage presence - she was relaxed, and delivered a polished, stylistic performance. There was a quiet confidence in the way she connected with the music and the room, making the whole set feel personal and genuine. Thank you, Milly!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients often say they love the personal, heartfelt feel of my performances. I create bespoke setlists that reflect each couple’s journey, blending classical elegance with modern style. My warm, professional presence and unique musical touch help make each event feel truly special.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I’ve performed at weddings in a large range of settings, from churches, to outdoor spaces, and beautiful venues across the UK, including hotels and country estates. I regularly play at bars, hotels and venues across the region, and I’ve also sung in Durham Cathedral and led choirs in performances at Windsor Castle!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I’m inspired by a diverse range of artists, including Ed Sheeran, Eva Cassidy, Olivia Rodrigo, Kate Bush, Christina Aguilera, Chappell Roan, Sigrid, and even The Spice Girls. I love blending these influences with my classical piano training to create a unique, modern yet elegant sound.

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

I always try my best to be as flexible as possible, and to do what I can to help ensure your event runs smoothly. If timings change in the lead up to the event - no worries! Just let me know.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I am happy to offer a playlist via a speaker system between sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually require 1 hour to set up.

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

Yes of course!

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

I'm definitely happy to chat through songs from the set list!

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own stage piano and all associated kit.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

For sure! I love working with clients' individual song requests! Just let me know the song, and if I don't already know it, I'm usually able to add it to the setlist no problem. I may charge a small additional fee if the song needs more substantial rehearsal/reworking time.
