Wedding Pianist & Singer
As a wedding pianist and singer, Simon provides wedding entertainment for 80-100 weddings and civil partnerships a year. He typically covers daytime arrival as guests are seated, ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. He can also provide evening entertainment either solo or with his band.
He plays and sings thousands of songs including current wedding favourites such as All Of Me, A Thousand Miles, Thinking Out Loud, 1000 Years, It Must Be Love, Say You Won’t Let Go, etc. He is also happy to perform your own favourite requests. He offers a huge repertoire and music for themed weddings with for example a Disney, Star Wars, Great Gatsby or Twilight themes.
Though he can perform on the venue’s own piano, he typically offers piano and vocal sets covering all your favourite requests on one of his own portable pianos (also for hire):
– 6ft WHITE baby grand piano (above)
– 5ft RED baby grand piano
– 3ft 4″ WHITE mini grand piano
– WHITE upright piano.
Wedding Ceremony
Simon typically plays 15 mins of instrumental pieces as guests are seated. He then plays the processional for the bride e.g. A Thousand Years, How Long Will I Love You? After 2 or 3 pieces for the signing of the register, it’s time for the newlyweds to walk out to something upbeat like Signed Sealed Delivered!
Drinks Reception
He provides music for the drinks reception which lasts 1.5-2 hours. He takes requests from guests and plays a mix of background music on piano & vocals or just piano.
Wedding Breakfast
He plays music throughout the wedding breakfast up to speeches, so again 1.5-2 hours. Songs are always played at the right volume usually building up to a bit of a singalong once the main course is out of the way, if not before…
