Choosing your wedding pianist is a very personal decision, and I believe it’s important that you get to know me as much as my music. Playing you down the aisle is an honour I never take lightly, as it becomes a moment you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

The relationship I build with my couples helps me shape every performance with care, making sure the music feels beautifully personal and unforgettable.

Q: How did your journey with the piano begin?

I started playing piano at the age of six with my grandmother, Elsie, who was a highly respected piano teacher in Berkshire. All of us grandchildren had lessons with her — it was just a thing in the family. At the time, I was more into football and skating, but somehow the piano always came back to me in a special way.

Q: Was there a moment when you truly fell in love with music?

Yes — one of the turning points was when my nan and I watched Titanic together. She introduced me to the soundtrack, and I was completely hooked. I became fascinated with film music and soundtracks, and by my mid‑teens I found myself playing school concerts — including a Rihanna song in front of the whole school, which gave me this huge buzz and made me realise this was something I wanted to do for real.

Q: What has your musical journey looked like since then?

I went on to study music in college, started a band, and soon became a session musician. That meant playing sold‑out tours, major UK festivals, and even appearing on TV — all unforgettable experiences. But over time, I felt the need to build something of my own. I opened a piano school, inspired by my nan’s love of teaching, and also began performing in luxury hotels like the Four Seasons, on ships, and at events. That path naturally led me to weddings — and I fell in love with them.

Q: What’s your approach when it comes to playing for couples on their wedding day?

For me, it’s all about connection. I get to know my couples, really listen to their likes and their favourite songs. I love showing couples how flexible and creative their ceremony music can be — whether that’s blending songs, shortening sections, or timing an aisle walk for that perfect musical moment. It’s a calm, collaborative process that always feels personal.

Q: Do you have a favourite wedding memory?

There are many, but one that stands out is a wedding at The Lansdowne Club in Mayfair. The piano was freshly tuned, the setting was breathtaking, and the couple had a movie‑themed wedding — each table was named after a film or TV show. I wove the themes into the music, and it just created this magical atmosphere that everyone loved.

Q: And outside of weddings, have you had any standout performances?

Yes — one of my most memorable nights was playing at a private dinner where I performed for David Jason (Del Boy), Dame Judi Dench, Mary Berry, and Jay Blades. Meeting David Jason, as a lifelong Only Fools and Horses fan, was honestly a dream come true.

Q: You recently got married yourself — has that changed how you look at your role as a wedding pianist?

Completely. I married my wonderful wife Sophie in September 2024, and experiencing a wedding from the other side really opened my eyes. Choosing music for our own ceremony made me realise how powerful and personal it is. We asked one of my top students, Kai, to play for us, and he did an incredible job. It reminded me that when couples spend time with their musicians, the result is genuinely something special.

Q: What do you enjoy outside of music?

Time with Sophie and our dog Roxy is everything to me. We love long walks, and I’ve also recently got into tennis and running.

Q: Do you have a personal favourite to perform at weddings?

Yes — Mia and Sebastian’s Theme from La La Land. Justin Hurwitz wrote such a moving, romantic modern piano piece. Every time I play it, it reminds me why I fell in love with the piano in the first place.
