Latest reviews of our Organists in Renfrewshire

"Oli, our organist, was an absolutely incredible part of our wedding day. Not only is he an exceptionally talented musician, but he is also incredibly organized. He helped us craft the perfect wedding entrance, and his passion for his craft was evident in every note he played. He generously dedicated four hours of his time to us for the rehearsal and the wedding itself, and everything was played and timed to absolute perfection. We are so grateful for his wonderful contribution to our day!"

FAQs about hiring Organists in Renfrewshire

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any organist play my favourite song?

Professional organists will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that organists may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the organist's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do organists take to set up?

Your organist will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the organist prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our organists are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our organists will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
