Weddings and Events Pianist in the South West
Also offering piano tuition

Hello and welcome! I am Jess and I'm a wedding and events pianist based between Bristol and Bath. I've been playing piano for over 15 years and can play an extensive range of genres including pop hits, classical masterpieces, rock anthems and jazz. I am experienced in providing music for any occasion and hold a degree in music performance. Playing the piano has been my lifelong passion, and there's nothing I enjoy more than sharing that joy with others — I’d love the opportunity to share it with you!

The piano is one of the most versatile instruments, making it the perfect choice for creating the atmosphere you envision on your special day. I offer a wide-ranging repertoire across multiple genres and can tailor every performance to suit your unique style and preferences.
Below, you'll find more details about what I can provide for your event. If you have any questions or would like to make a booking, please don’t hesitate to get in touch using the contact form at the bottom of this page.

If your venue already has a piano on-site, I’m more than happy to perform on it, provided it’s in good working condition.
No piano at your venue? No problem! I can bring my top-of-the-line Kawai MP11SE stage piano, housed in a beautiful custom white baby grand shell, along with a high-quality, amplification system. This setup ensures a stunning visual and exceptional sound for your special day.

A typical wedding day may include performances during some or all of the following parts of your celebration:
Ceremony – Gentle piano music will set the mood as your guests arrive. I can create a bespoke arrangement of your favourite songs for your walk down the aisle, the registrar signing and another piece for your exit.
Drinks Reception and/or Wedding Breakfast – Enjoy elegant cocktail-style piano music featuring a blend of your favourite songs, carefully selected to create the perfect backdrop and atmosphere for your guests to relax and enjoy.
Pricing varies depending on the nature of your event and the duration of the performance. For a free personalised quote, please feel free to get in touch using the contact form at the bottom of the page, I'd be happy to discuss your plans and provide a no-obligation estimate.
Live music can elevate any event — whether you're aiming to create a welcoming atmosphere for your guests or simply add a unique touch to the occasion, a live pianist is the perfect choice.
I’ve performed at a wide variety of events, including christenings, bars, restaurants, care homes, private parties, festivals and more. No matter the setting, I tailor my setlist to suit your event, offering a blend of genres and songs that enhance the mood and make the experience truly memorable for you and your guests.
As with weddings, if your venue doesn’t have a piano on-site, I can provide my professional Kawai MP11SE stage piano, complete with a stunning white baby grand shell and a sleek amplification system.
Prices will vary depending on your event and how long you would like me to play. Please do get in touch via the contact form at the bottom of my page to receive a free quote for your event.
Here are some little clips of my playing. If you want to hear some more then please contact me or follow my social media accounts.
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I offer tailored private piano lessons to suit all ages and abilities. With a degree in Music from the University of Chichester and over four years of teaching experience, I bring a supportive and structured approach to each lesson.
Classically trained, I offer a solid foundation in technique, theory, and musical expression. However, I play, and am able to teach, a wide range of genres—including jazz, pop, film music, and more—so lessons can be adapted to suit your musical interests and goals. Whether you're preparing for exams, learning for fun, or returning to the piano after a break, I’ll help you develop confidence and enjoyment in your playing.
Lessons take place in my music room based in Oldland Common, Bristol, where students can use my upright Bechstein piano, in special instances I can also provide lessons in your own home. Lessons are available in person or online. Get in touch to book a free consultation or trial lesson!
Incredibly Talented!
We booked Jess to play our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Prior Park College and just WOW! Jess is an incredibly talented pianist and plays the piano absolutely beautifully. She is incredibly responsive and attentive to our song requests and created an wonderful set list of songs based on our favourite artists and bands. All the guests at our wedding were raving to us how talented she is! I would absolutely recommend Jess to any other couples looking for someone to play the piano at their wedding!
Thank you again Jess for making our day so special!

Just WOW!!
Having unfortunately needing to find a new pianist for our day at relatively short notice we approached Jess with only a few months to go and thank goodness we did because she was everything we had wanted and more! Highly professional, great pre-wedding meetings to allow us all to plan and make the day what we wanted while letting her offer her creative perspective too, and brilliant value for money. A highly talented musician and a very friendly individual, thank you for helping create a perfect atmosphere on our special day.

Jess has played for our care setting several times and our residents think she’s wonderful Jess has such a magical way about her when playing the piano, it’s understated but fascinating to watch, she really draws you into the music. She can put her own spin on a song but still make it recognisable and has played a variety of different genres for us. Jess is very personable and is always polite, friendly and well mannered. We would recommend Jess in a heartbeat.
