Yes. I bring a PAT-tested digital piano that sounds and looks the part, or I'll play your venue's piano if it's in good condition.

From Einaudi to Elton, arranged for solo piano
I specialise in solo piano arrangements of well-known popular music alongside classical and film favourites. Have something specific in mind? I arrange requests as standard.
Want to keep it?
I can record my piano arrangement of your song for you to keep. Get in touch if you'd like to talk it through.

I have worked with Phil for over 15 years. He first exhibited at my Elite Wedding Fairs and was always a hit. I have engaged his services for a few of my wedding planning couples and he has always been excellent to work with: professional, happy and always willing to learn specific songs for couples' big moments like the aisle walk or a first dance, or more generally for the drinks reception or early evening entertainment. A pleasure to work with!

Wedding questions
Do you bring your own piano?
Can you play a specific song?
Almost certainly. Requests are arranged as standard. Send me the song and I'll let you know if there's anything I can't do.
What happens if the ceremony runs late?
I build flexibility into the day. If timings move, I keep playing and adjust the set.
