Corporate Event Pianist
Based in Bath — available across Bristol, Somerset, the South West & London
Awards dinners, product launches, galas, and business receptions. Professional piano entertainment that elevates your event and makes every guest feel valued.
Experience at the Highest Level
I've played countless awards dinners at venues like the Pump Room in Bath — one of the most prestigious event spaces in the South West. I understand the rhythm of a corporate evening: the anticipation during arrival drinks, the convivial energy of dinner, the heightened atmosphere as awards are announced.
My role is to read the room and respond. Whether that means sophisticated background ambience or bringing the energy up to make your guests feel like the stars they are — I know how to match the moment.

What Makes the Difference
Reading the Room
I adjust my playing dynamically throughout the evening — softer during speeches, livelier during networking, perfectly timed transitions that feel intuitive.
Complete Reliability
I arrive early, set up discreetly, and always have backup equipment. You have enough to coordinate — your entertainment shouldn't be a concern.
Professional Presentation
Appropriate attire, discreet setup, and the understanding that I'm there to enhance your event — not compete with it.
Flexible Repertoire
Need classical for the CEO's arrival and jazz for the after-party? No problem. I seamlessly transition between styles as your evening evolves.
Brand Alignment
If your brand is innovative and modern, I'll play neoclassical. If you're heritage and traditional, I'll deliver timeless classics. Music that matches your message.
