Organist

I would normally start playing 30 minutes beforehand for weddings and 20 minutes beforehand for funerals. Requests for particular pieces will always be accommodated, where possible.

Composition/Arrangement

I can create bespoke compositions and/or arrangements for events e.g. bridal marches, wedding marches, fanfares, medlies etc. Fees for these services are negotiated on an ad hoc basis based on the length of each piece and the musical forces involved.

I can also, on your behalf, engage professional musicians as required to perform, again on an ad hoc basis e.g. a fanfare team, brass ensemble, string quartet, singers, other solo musicians etc.

Wedding/function pianist

Current charges are £125 per hour of performance time. Additional fees will be charged for mileage incurred, and for special requests (e.g. if music requires to be purchased, or for special musical arrangements).
