FAQs
What style of music can you play?
I have a wide-ranging repertoire across several genres that you can choose from, including contemporary, pop, classical, house/dance and cultural music (i.e. Italian, French, Spanish, Arabic and Latin). Alternatively, if you have something unique in mind, I would love to chat about creating a custom soundtrack just for you!
Do you play the piano solo or accompany other musicians?
Both! I can play your favourite songs as solo piano covers or accompany a singer and/or other instruments. I’m happy to discuss your vision with you and recommend the best option for your event.
Can you play the piano for any part of the wedding day?
Absolutely! I can perform at any stage of your wedding day — from the bridal home preparations to the ceremony (including guest arrival, processional, signing of the register, and recessional), the pre-reception or cocktail hour, and right through to the reception (including guest arrivals, bridal party entrances, dinner sets, your father–daughter dance, and, of course, the bride-and-groom first dance).
What is your performance rate?
My performance fees vary depending on the location, duration, and parts of the day you’d like me to play for. Every wedding is unique, so I’ll provide a personalised quote once I know the details of your day. For destination weddings, travel and accommodation costs are additional. Reach out to me with your wedding date, venue, and any special requests, and I’ll put together a tailored package for you.
Can you travel for destination weddings?
Yes — I’ve performed internationally in Italy and Spain, and I’m available to travel anywhere in the world for your celebration.
What are your piano requirements for destination weddings?
For destination weddings, I require the venue to provide a piano (acoustic or digital) for the performance. While I can assist with organising a local piano hire if needed, it is best if arranged in advance through your venue or wedding planner.
How far in advance should we book you?
I recommend booking at least 6–12 months ahead to secure your date.
