The Piano Guy Full Description
Mark The Piano guy - now also "guitar guy" Is an excellent addition to a fun wedding - for those people who want top keep the party going all day and not have any flat spots or lulls. Mark is available for 3 parts of your wedding - The Ceremony the Drinks reception and the wedding breakfast Wedding Ceremony I start playing when the guests are being seated in the ceremony room (outside possible) – approx 15 minutes before the ceremony time. Then right on cue I play as the bridal party and bride enter, during the signing of the register (usually 2-3 songs) and then for your grand exit! Oh and that special song?…..Check out my Song List and expert advice on choosing wedding music for your ceremony. If your song is not on the list then contact me and maybe I can learn it specially for you. Looking for instrumental piano Music (no singing) for your wedding ceremony – Well Mark can do that too! Drinks Reception This usually happens immediately after the ceremony when the bride and groom will be having photos taken and the guests are mingling. At this point your guests need a little entertainment and this is where I really shine! With up 2x 45 min sets of live music on piano/vocals or guitar/vocals (your choice) to make this time memorable and fun, taking requests from the guests so they really feel connected to the event and energised for the rest of the day! Wedding Breakfast The first meal together as a married couple, hence the term breakfast, but this meal is usually mid afternoon. Here the newlyweds sit with their guests and enjoy what is often a three course meal. I provides appropriate music while you dine for up to 2 hours. Whether you prefer it laid back or if you want your guests on your feet singing (or both), I can make this happen. No more food coma - and check out my videos to see how much fun and action happens with a "piano guy" wedding breakfast

Mark played for our wedding ceremony recently and was amazing. He has a great repertoire to choose from, and even learnt a new song for us! Communication was great and the contract / payment process was really easy too. Highly recommend!

People are still talking about how amazing he was
Mark was brilliant at our wedding. People are still talking about how amazing he was and the range of songs that he was able to do. He got people up singing and dancing and kept the atmosphere going. He had a lot of music lovers in the room who hit him with all sorts of requests and he stepped up to the mark like a professional.

Mark made our day extra special,
Mark is one of the most amazing musicians I have met. We saw him at a Wedding Fair and knew he was the man for our wedding. Mark made our day extra special, even had the task of looking after my trolls...... So many guests commented how good you are, even did requests. I loved singing along to all the songs, you just knew what fit. Thank you so much Mark, you brought more magic to our special day.

Mark was one of the best suppliers we booked for our wedding without a doubt. He performed during our ceremony, drinks reception & wedding breakfast and created such an amazing atmosphere throughout all, especially towards the end of the meal where he had us all dancing at our tables swinging round our napkins, one of my personal tavourite moments trom the day. The communication trom him & Liz throughout the planning was great and he made sure he understood exactly what we wanted out of the day

friendly, professional and totally accommodating
Mark was absolutely brilliant at our wedding on Saturday! From the moment we got in touch he was friendly, professional and totally accommodating to what we wanted. On the day he played instrumental piano so beautifully throughout our ceremony (on his fab white piano!!) and then played and sang throughout our breakfast. He was AMAZING, really set the atmosphere and had everyone up out of their seats waving napkins and taking requests! Would totally recommend him for any event!

from start to finish everything was faultless
Mark was absolutely wonderful at our wedding on Saturday. He played whilst our guests arrived, through the ceremony & wedding breakfast. From start to finish everything was faultless all our guests loved him and he created the most upbeat wonderful infectious energy - just pure happiness. Such a wide range of music all as good as each other from a bit of slow romantic lion king all the way to the banging freed from desire! Couldn’t recommend Mark enough and thank you so much [...]

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

woah.....so many weddings so its hard top choose one. But I think the one where there Penguins walking down the aisle before the bride is definitely up there. Yes......Penguins!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Energetic - diverse - memorable - fun - affordable

What about your business are you most proud of?

I give so much of myself to each wedding that the bride and groom are usually super happy - and we end up becoming friends after. I am still in touch with many of brides and grooms - watching their lives grow.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Make sure you get an experienced photographer WHO KNOWS YOUR VENUE. They will have all the inside tricks at that location - know where the sun will be for the best light - know where to take you for the best shots - have a relationship with the venue staff and crucially.....will be able to do it in the allowed time. Nobody likes a wedding that runs over because it took the photographer ages to get the shots. And wedding photos are massively important to capture the memories of the day forever!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Bridal sneakers lol. So many brides I see tottering about in pain. Get a nice pair of wedding day converse or trainers. I have seen them made bespoke for the day. On your most special day don't be in discomfort.......you wanna throw shapes don't you?

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Booking on with me is super easy and done by email. 20% deposit is taken by card through our secure provider Stripe - the full balance is due 2 months before the wedding date. In the time in between I offer everyone a video call where we can spend an hour together having a virtual brew and talking through your wedding day. I offer my expert advice and perspective and help you choose the most important music like the bridal entrance; playing you examples so you can say YES.....or no.....then you know it will be perfect. I also get to know you and your tastes and what makes you tick. It all goes towards making your day perfect with attention to detail - and all your daytime music handled in one place......by me

What makes a romantic first dance?

Well I think this is a tough one. Because the first dance is so personal. What I like might no be what you like. But I do really like The One by Kodaline because of its words. Aside from music choice - as this is totally personal - the actual dancing is often a source of anxiety to many. My advice is - just be yourself. Don't go learning a routine or expecting to bust out some epic moves is this just not who you are. A simple "hug and shuffle", vaguely in time to the music can be just as effective. People are there to celebrate you and your marriage - not to witness a strictly episode

What is your number one floor-filler?

Well Mr brightside is pretty globally accepted as a floor filler. But you can't deny that Sweet Caroline gets people going too (its just less cool)

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

Van Halen!

What is the soundtrack to your life?

ooh any funky rock music. Currently really loving Richie Kotzen but I doubt anyone will know who that is lol
