Live Piano Music for York Weddings
Every wedding is unique, and my approach is to work closely with each couple to create the perfect musical backdrop for their day. From the emotional moment you walk down the aisle through to your drinks reception and wedding breakfast, I offer a versatile music experience tailored to your tastes and your venue.
With a repertoire of over 500 songs spanning pop, rock, classical, jazz, R&B, Disney, film and TV, and musicals, there's something for every couple. And if your favourite song isn't on the list, I'm always happy to learn new pieces -- the only limit is our imaginations.

Burtonfields Hall in East Yorkshire is located just outside York in Stamford Bridge. It’s a beautiful venue with a relaxed charm that lends itself perfectly to live piano music. The ceremony space has a warm, natural feel, and the acoustics complement the piano beautifully - creating an intimate atmosphere that really draws guests into the moment.
As Sam and Heather said after their wedding there: "The music was absolutely magical and we are so grateful for you working with us to bring some really personal touches to the ceremony especially."
The Guildhall in central York one of those truly special venues where history and atmosphere come together to create something unforgettable. With its stunning medieval hall and riverside setting, it's a magnificent space for live music.
I performed for Gemma and Scott's ceremony and reception here, and as they put it: "The music was perfect, and we truly appreciate that he learned extra songs for us -- everyone loved it! His talent and professionalism made our day so special."

It's a beautifully styled boutique venue with an effortless blend of modern elegance and warm character, making it a wonderful setting for live piano. The intimate spaces allow the music to really connect with guests, whether I'm playing during the ceremony or providing a backdrop to the drinks reception.
