Thanks for visiting my website! I’m a full-time professional musician covering weddings and events all over Sussex. I have more than thirty years experience playing professionally and currently play at around a hundred and twenty weddings and events every year.
Sussex has some stunning venues scattered all over the county and there’s a good chance I have probably played there before! I come self contained with my own portable digital stage piano and PA system so absolutely no problem if there’s no piano available for use at your chosen hotel, barn or venue.

Booking Confirmation Contract & Payment
Once a wedding booking has been agreed, I will send you two copies of a contract, one of which will need to be signed and returned to me within two weeks once the agreed details have been checked and verified. A non-refundable deposit of £100.00 will be necessary at the time of booking, the balance payment will be due one week before the agreed performance date.
I carry full Public Liability Insurance, a full copy of which is available by clicking here. All electrical equipment used has been recently PAT tested, a current certificate is also available by clicking here.
If your venue doesn’t have a piano…
All of the above prices include the provision of my Roland RD800 Digital Stage Piano and Yamaha PA system in venues where a piano isn’t available for use.
The piano and PA system can been moved quickly as required during a party or event. With most parties or events, the piano will be set up the room an hour or so before guests arrive. It can easily be moved if the drinks reception and dinner are in different rooms and a quick move, taking no more than fifteen minutes or so, will allow for piano music to be played almost continuously throughout the afternoon or evening.
I also offer the option to include the hire of a black baby Dutchgrand Piano for parties and events.
From an aesthetic perspective, the Dutchgrand looks beautiful in any setting and wholly compliments any room or venue. With the hire of acoustic grand pianos and digital grands costing in the region of £550.00, the Dutchgrand piano offers a relatively inexpensive alternative and can be moved and re-located during the day. The cost of hiring the Dutchgrand is £125.00 in addition to the prices listed above.
