Wedding Pianists for hire in Chelmsford
Latest reviews of our Wedding Pianists in Chelmsford

"Josh was amazing, and would highly recommend him to anyone for any occassion. Josh engaged immediately, with a free initial chat to discuss our ideas and what we wanted for our wedding breakfast. He then proactively contacted the venue himself, worked with them to make sure the Grand Piano was serviced and tuned before the wedding breakfast after finding out it hadn't been used for a while. During the wedding breakfast, he played and sang fabulous songs, both the modern and classics in his own way that suited the calm background music we needed. He read the room perfectly and also MC'd the speaches. We had so many people come up to us afterwards to sing Josh's praises, saying it was one of the best wedding breakfasts they had been too. He went above and beyond, meaning that we didn't have to do anything, he just got on with things to make our day as carefree as possible. BOOK HIM!!! Thanks Josh, we are so very grateful for making our day so very special."
Rachel hired Joshua Benjamin for a Wedding (available in Chelmsford)

"We hired Tom as the pianist during our wedding reception, which included him playing two songs while my father sang. Tom was fantastic, his piano playing was excellent and his communication in the lead up to our wedding was superb. He even arrived early on our wedding day to set up and practice playing with my father. If you need a pianist for a wedding or special occasion then look no further - Tom was superb!! "

"We recently had a pianist perform at our care home for a 10th birthday celebration, and he was absolutely fantastic. He created such a warm and uplifting atmosphere throughout the event, and his music really helped make the occasion feel special for everyone involved. The residents and guests thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and it was lovely to see so many smiles and positive reactions. He was professional, friendly, and very talented, and we would not hesitate to recommend him or welcome him back again in the future. Thank you for helping make the day so memorable."

FAQs about hiring Wedding Pianists in Chelmsford
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
My venue doesn't have a piano - what should I do?
Most pianists will have a keyboard and speakers that they can bring to your event - some may even be able to provide a piano shell to mimic the look of a piano (however this will likely cost extra). Nowadays keyboards can sound just as good as the real thing, so don't let not having a piano stop you!
What kind of music can a pianist play?
Most professional pianists will be extremely competent in a wide range of styles/genres. It's basically up to you what you'd like them to play. Give them an idea of the types of music/songs you'd like to hear, and they'll put together a set of music you'll be sure to love!
I want my pianist to sing as well. Is this possible?
Yes! Many pianists will sing and play piano - they can also do a mixture of accompanied and unaccompanied music to provide some variation to their performance! They'll most likely mention this information on their profile, as well as have links to videos showcasing their skills.
