The Somerset Wedding Pianist - Wedding Pianist

The Somerset Wedding Pianist has been playing piano since before his feet could touch the floor.  He will create the perfect mood for your party with his lifetime’s experience, which you will hear in every note.  He will happily learn any tune (within reason!) just for you with a little notice and for a small fee - and the memory of hearing this played on your wedding day will stay with you forever.  Which song would you like for that special moment - just ask!

He plays a wide range of elegant light jazz standards & love songs, swings into ‘Rat-Pack’ style at the drop of a hat, breezes through some ragtime and plays many classic well known songs which have been known to raise the roof when the whole room decides to sing along towards the end of the set.  From gentle ivory tinkling in the background, to fully rocking the party he will play something for every generation.  

Can provide a smart and compact digital Roland piano and full PA if required, and always brings a big smile!

The Somerset Wedding Pianist - Wedding Pianist Feedback

Stewart played guitar for our daughter's Renewal of Vows at the Roman Baths, and the music fitted the occasion perfectly - nice selection, great sound, and lovely playing, all organised with the minimum of fuss. Highly recommended.

Anne and Keith, Bath, Wedding / Reception (July, 2017)

We run a wedding venue in Somerset, and Stewart is one of our top recommendations to our clients. He is an excellent musician, very professional, and a really lovely chap. It is always a pleasure to have him play at Gants Mill.

Greg B, Bruton, Wedding / Reception (July, 2017)

We had the pleasure of hiring Stewart for our wedding in the Cotswolds at the end of June. Stewart played during our ceremony as well as the drinks reception. He is exceptionally talented and all our guests commented on how beautiful the music was. He was also so personable and friendly with my husband and I as well as all our guests. We also asked if he could play a song which was not in his listed repertoire for my walk down the aisle. He was so accommodating to this request and learned the (quite complicated) song superbly. It really made the ceremony so wonderful and personal. We could not recommend him highly enough!

Jacqueline F, Cotswolds, Wedding / Reception (June, 2017)

Stewart played at my 40th birthday celebration dinner at The Pig, near Bath on Saturday. Without doubt his superb guitar playing contributed hugely to the wonderful atmosphere and overall success of the evening. I can't thank you enough and hope to hear you play again soon!

Kate W, Bath, Birthday party (October, 2017)

Stewart was absolutely outstanding in performing at our wedding ceremony. The process was very easy organising him to perform for us. He also gave us a great choice of music for him to perform. The music worked perfectly with what we wanted for the day, and I have had many guests on the day agreeing with what we felt, that Stewart performed brilliantly. Thank you Stewart for helping us to make our day so special, I will definitely recommend you to anyone who asks.

Sian J, Bradford on Avon, Wedding / Reception (June, 2017)

Stewart played guitar at our wedding party in Mells in June. It was simply one of the best decisions we made. The music was great and helped create the right vibe for us. Stewart was relaxed, pleasant and professional. Highly recommended.

Phil J, Mells, Wedding / Reception (August, 2017)

Stewart played the guitar and the piano at a conference reception that we organised at the Romans Bath. His choice of music and the excellent quality of his performance made the evening very special for us and our guests. His exceptional qualities as an artist were matched by the professionalism that he showed in communication and arrangements before and after the event. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to make their event stand out.

Aydin N, Bath, Corporate event (September, 2017)

Stewart Pickard came to play at our wedding reception.in Orchardleigh House near Frome.on 15th September 2017. We wanted live background music to greet our guests as we greeted them in the hallway. Stewart played a magnificent repertoire on both Piano and guitar that was delicate but noticeable, loud enough but not intrusive with some memorable tunes and with such great skill and sensitivity - it was a magnificent event made more profound with Stewart's live music. A sense of majesty and grand occasion was made perfect with his accompaniment. We would recommend Stewart for these reasons above and say he is a top quality professional musician. Thanks again Stewart!

Peter and Rachel, Frome, Wedding / Reception (September, 2017)

Stewart sounded wonderful and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding! He played both piano and guitar and it was beautiful! Our guests all commented on how talented he is. Please don't hesitate to book him!

Naomi, Gloucester, Wedding / Reception (September, 2017)

Stewart gave our wedding exactly the right tone and atmosphere. We got married in The Roman Baths, at night, with the torches around the Great Bath flaming. Stewart?s playing was the icing on the cake. We have had so many of our guests commenting. He didn?t just play as we entered, or during the champagne after the ceremony, but also played whilst we were dining. Stewart was the absolute best choice. A wide repertoire, beautifully delivered.

Michelle, Bath, Wedding / Reception (October, 2017)

Stewart played music for my husbands 60th birthday. His set was perfect and tailored to the event. We had guitar first followed by the piano. So professional and beautiful music. We would definitely use Stewart again.

Marianne Seabright, Bristol, Birthday party (November, 2017)

A wonderfully varied set for Dan and Jody's wedding. Elegantly played and beautifully understated for the ceremony. Great songs for the reception.

Joanne Macleod, Bath, Wedding / Reception (September, 2017)

I can't recommend you highly enough. Your music at our son's wedding was perfect. The wedding was at The Assembly Rooms in Bath. The music at the ceremony and during the reception was so well chosen. You play brilliantly and the sound graced the event. Thank you for adding a wonderful finishing touch to the day.

Kath Squire, Bath, Wedding / Reception (September, 2017)

Very professional and prompt in all correspondence. Did a great job at our wedding

Jenny Boyd, Swindon, Wedding / Reception (September, 2017)

Thank you, Stewart, for providing such lovely entertainment at our birthday celebration last weekend. The music was beautiful and enjoyed by all our guests. It made the event feel very special and memorable.

Michelle Boobier, Bristol, Birthday party (April, 2017)

Stewart played for our wedding at The lamb in Hindon (we traveled from New Zealand). Every guest at our wedding commented on the quality of his playing, and the thoroughly enjoyable repertoire. If you are considering a musician to enhance your special day, Stewart is definitely the man for the Job! thanks again very much.

Mark Patterson, Tisbury, Wedding / Reception (August, 2017)

Stewart played at our wedding at The Rectory and he totally exceeded our expectations! He was amazing, his music (Fields of Gold as I walked down the aisle) was something I will never forget. He is a truly lovely guy and his professionalism second to none. All our guests loved him too .... cannot recommend Stewart highly enough.

Sue Glass, Malmesbury, Wedding / Reception (March, 2017)

Stewart played at our wedding ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast on Saturday 11th November. It was amazing! The playlist was exactly what we had discussed and many of our guests have specifically complimented what a great idea it was to have such fantastic music throughout. Thank you, Stewart for helping to make our wedding magical!

Sarah Nunes, Windsor, Wedding / Reception (November, 2017)

He was beyond amazing and wowed a crowd with contained children from musicians (Chris de burgh and U2) so it's safe to say we were extremely happy and very impressed! He provided incredible entertainment for us all and made our wedding dinner so very special!?Thank you!

Veronica Ryan, Somerset, Wedding / Reception (August, 2017)

A heartfelt thank you for playing at our reception last month. Everyone enjoyed it, and the different styles you were able to play appealed across the board? It was really the right decision to have you there

Julie, Bath, Wedding / Reception (August, 2017)

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding - it was just what we were looking for. Throughout the evening I kept thinking to myself how lovely the music was and how nice it was not to have to shout above it, as we would have had to do if we?d had a disco or DJ. I have also been really impressed with your professionalism throughout - from the initial booking, through to you actually playing. I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone and everyone

Carolyn, Devon, Wedding / Reception (June, 2017)
