FAQ about hiring a Pianist
How much does a pianist cost?
On average, a professional pianist costs $200-$400. The price will vary depending on your location, the type of event, the length of the performance, and the experience level of the performer. Seasoned piano players with a large repertoire of songs and years of experience performing live music often come at a higher price.
How long do pianists usually perform?
Pianists are most commonly booked for 2 hours. However, they can often accommodate any event length. Keep in mind, if you book a pianist for more than an hour, you should allow for a 5-10 minute break every 30-45 minutes.
What kind of music do pianists play?
Many professional pianists have a vast repertoire covering all styles of music across multiple genres, from classical to jazz to pop. Others, like jazz pianists, might specialize in a specific style or era of music. Browse profiles before you book to see their setlists and listen to samples of their performances.
What events are good for pianists?
Piano music makes for perfect background entertainment at a variety of events. Whether the piano player is a singer as well or just plays instrumental songs, they can create a beautiful atmosphere at your wedding, dinner, engagement party, charity gala, or corporate event.
Do pianists bring their own piano?
Like any other instrumentalist, pianists will have their own piano to bring to events. This is often an electric keyboard that is easy to transport. However, if your venue has its own house piano, the pianist might choose to play that instead. Especially if it’s a high-quality instrument like a grand piano. You should let your pianist know about any on-site equipment in advance so they can visit the venue and ensure it is in tune and meets their standards.
Can pianists travel to events?
Due to the size and weight often associated with transporting an electric keyboard, many pianists are limited to only traveling to events within driving distance. However, if your venue has a quality piano in-house, then you may be able to fly in a professional pianist for your event.
