Wedding Pianist in Las Vegas

Yes. The Wagner and Mendelssohn processionals, Pachelbel’s Canon in D and both settings of Ave Maria — Schubert and Bach–Gounod — are part of the repertoire, and one requested piece is prepared in advance as part of every booking.

A live pianist simply keeps playing until you are ready. A recording cannot do that — it either runs out or has to be restarted in front of your guests. Absorbing a late start without anyone noticing is one of the practical reasons to book a live musician.

Yes. Ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner can be booked together or separately, with two hours as the minimum booking. Tell me how long you would like music across the day and I will build one continuous programme for it.

Yes — an acoustic piano at the venue is required. I play the instrument that is in the room; I do not bring one of my own, and I do not perform on an electronic keyboard. Ask your venue what they have, and if there is no piano, one can be hired in for the day. Either way, tell me early, so the programme is prepared for that particular instrument.

Two hours is the minimum booking. Travel and any breaks within the engagement are part of the booked time and are included in the quote.

That is arranged with you personally rather than sold as a fixed package. Tell me the shape of your day — when music should begin, when it should stop, and what happens in between — and I will propose the playing and the breaks around it. Breaks fall inside the booked time, so the programme runs to your schedule, not to mine.

As early as you can. The date is held for one event only, so the earlier you write, the more likely your date is free and the more time there is to prepare a programme, and any requested piece, properly for your room.

Yes. A retainer reserves your date and takes it off the calendar for anyone else; the balance and the cancellation terms are confirmed in writing together with your quote.

I play throughout the Las Vegas valley — Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Enterprise and Spring Valley — and I travel beyond it for the right event. Travel is included in the quote.

Solo classical piano is the booking — that is what I do and what the programme is built around. A duo with violin or cello, accompaniment for a singer, or a small ensemble can be added by request, booked well in advance and priced accordingly, but the piano is the centre of the evening.

Concert attire by default. Black tie, all black, or something quieter on request — tell me what the room calls for.

Every event is quoted individually, so there is no price list. To prepare a quote I need the date, the start time and how long you would like music; the venue, and whether a piano is already there; the occasion and the mood you have in mind; and any piece that must be included. This is a concert engagement, not background cover — the programme is prepared for your room, the playing is at concert level, and the quote reflects that.
