Number One Question for a Pianist - does the venue have a piano that can be used during the event?
Parking access needs to be as close as possible considering the movement of heavy equipment.
Where is the event room location in relation to the access point? Is it on the ground floor? Does equipment need to be lifted up any stairs? Are there lifts? Is there any equipment such a trolleys at the venue that can be used to move equipment?
How long before the start time can the equipment set up begin?

Yes - Spotify music via an iPad through the PA (assuming there is a suitable Wi-Fi connection at the venue)

It's impossible to say which gig was the best because they are all so unique and individually special for every wedding and event party. Certainly, the best location I ever played at was the concert room at St. George's Hall in Liverpool, playing a Steinway Grand Piano for a very nice wedding.

Too many to mention - I'm influenced by many artists from classical music, to blues, soul, rock, pop, indie and beyond

I have been playing piano from an early age and have performed in pubs, restaurants, bars, hotels and for weddings and events for decades. As a guitarist, I've played in bands stretching back to the early 1990's.

At a wedding, it would be the drinks reception or wedding breakfast (or both, as I've often done!) because this allows me to showcase a very wide variety of music with something for everyone to enjoy, plus of course additional requests.
Similarly, for other events where I would entertain guests for 2, 3 or even 4 hours.
I enjoy performing at public venues such as restaurants, bars and hotels as I create a unique atmosphere for the environment which I know that guests fully appreciate.

When using a portable digital piano, set up can take up to one hour depending on the nature of the load-in and the ease of access to the performance area.
Performance times vary according to your specific requirements but may typically feature 3 x 45 minutes or 2 x 70 minutes of live solo piano music. Additional performance times allowing the provision of up to 3 or 4 hours of solo piano music is feasible (for additional costs). Alternatively, a short solo piano music set (up to 1 hour) can be provided, where there is already a suitable piano at the Event Venue. Should you wish to have solo piano music to accompany a wedding ceremony, then later during the reception / wedding breakfast, costs will vary according to the timings and specific location requirements. Please get in touch directly to discuss this in more detail.
If you would like to utilise the option of a high quality female vocalist/guitarist to accompany Pete, this can be arranged in addition to a solo piano performance, if required. Please get in touch for further details and costs.

I have performed outside at weddings, weather dependent. Ideally, cover/shade is required. Safe electrical power connection is necessary for digital piano equipment.

My repertoire can extend to thousands of songs. There is never a set repertoire for gigs where I play solo piano to accompany an event, drinks reception, wedding breakfast etc. Clients can ask for any songs they like. It should be beforehand so that I can obtain the music, where possible. It should be understood that not every song is realistically feasible to play as a piano solo effectively and this is easily discussed beforehand.
Naturally, for a wedding ceremony, specific songs for the entrance, signing and exit will be agreed upon.
When performing as a duo or trio with vocals, of course, there will be a prepared repertoire and the option to request a few songs in advance.

You can read the feedback here on LMM. Clients typically say how they loved the wide variety of music that I played, that I made their event so perfect, that I created such a beautiful, classy atmosphere that guests would remember for a very long time. Clients have told me that they wished I could have carried on playing, even after 3 or 4 hours!
