What I Offer
With over fifteen years experience as a wedding pianist I understand how important your big day is. Based in Cheshire I provide beautiful live piano music creating the perfect ambience and atmosphere for your special event. I have a diverse repertoire ranging from Elton John to Adele, Take That to Prince, Billy Joel to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Pachelbel to Beethoven.
If there is a special piece of music that you would like for your big day then just get in touch, I am always adding to my repertoire and would be more than happy to learn your chosen piece.
If your chosen venue doesn’t have a piano but you want the classy look and sound of a real grand piano then my portable Steveway black baby grand piano looks and sounds just like the real thing. It can also be relocated within your venue and is provided at no extra cost. It’s also a great photo prop and always a talking point for your guests.

Testimonials
“Nina played during the drinks reception before our wedding ceremony. I can’t tell you how excited I and my bridesmaids were when we heard Nina begin to play, we were tucked away in the bridal suite so couldn’t see anyone but once we heard Nina’s beautiful piano music we knew the wedding day had begun!
Walking down the aisle with my father to Ode To Joy was very emotional and a moment I will never forget. For the signing of the register Nina played our favourite songs, A Million Dreams and Everything I Do and then the Spice Girls, Two Become One as we walked out as a newly married couple.
We would without doubt recommend Nina to anyone planning a wedding. She was professional, friendly and definitely one of the highlights of our day.”

“Nina has played piano for a couple of our rotary events the latest being our 40th Anniversary Charter Evening. Nina was very friendly and professional and provided a lovely variety of music as a backdrop to our event.”
Carol Jones-Spencer
“Nina was a great addition to our wedding day at Walton Hall. She played a great mix of songs during our drinks reception before the ceremony and she played during the ceremony too. We requested Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles for our entrance song which Nina played a beautiful romantic version of, and she played Treat People With Kindness by Harry Styles for our exit piece. All of our guests commented on how lovely it was having a live pianist, it really added a special touch to our day. “
