If you have any questions that are not on here, please do get in touch directly via my contact page and I will aim to answer them within 24 hours!
How much time do you need to set up?
I need 15-20 minutes set up time and just need a plug sockets for my keyboard and amp (if the amp is required.) All my equipment is PAT tested.
What type of events do you perform at?
I perform at weddings, receptions, corporate events, restaurants, cafes, private parties and care home performances. My focus is creating the perfect musical atmosphere for your special day.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Absolutely! I love tailoring my repertoire to your taste. You can provide a list of your favourite songs, and I’ll incorporate them into your event.
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
Yes, absolutely! I can bring my own Roland Digital Piano instrument to play acoustically. If needed, I can also bring my Roland amp. Please let me know if you would like the white DutchGrand Piano Shell otherwise it will be my Roland Digital Piano on a stand as default.
Can you play classical, contemporary, and film music?
Yes! My repertoire spans classical, jazz, musical theatre, Disney, film scores, and contemporary pop. I can also create bespoke medleys for special requests.
If I have a piano or organ at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
Yes, of course - as long as the piano is in working order and in tune, then I'm happy to play on it. I can also play the Pipe, Theatre and Electric Organ.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.
What instruments do you play?
I play piano and theatre organ. I can perform on my own instrument or, if a venue provides one, I can adapt to a piano, keyboard, or organ there.
Do you travel outside Yorkshire?
Yes, I travel for weddings and events across the UK. Travel costs may apply depending on distance.
Do you dress formally for events?
Yes, I dress elegantly to suit the style and tone of your event, whether that’s a formal wedding, a corporate function, or a tea dance.
How do we book you?
You can contact me via my contact page and I will reply to you within 24 hours.
Do you interact with guests or keep the focus on the music?
I aim to strike the perfect balance—engaging when appropriate, but letting the music speak for itself and enhancing the atmosphere without overwhelming conversation.
What are your contingencies if you were unexpectedly unavailable or poorly on the day?
That’s a really good question, thankfully in the past four years I’ve never had to miss a wedding due to illness (touch wood!), but just in case, I do have a small network of trusted wedding pianists I work closely with who would be able to step in if needed. I’m actually covering for one of them next week. And of course, if I ever did become unavailable, I would fully refund your deposit.
Need more information? Drop me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
Craig Sutcliffe is a Wedding Pianist & Organist based in Yorkshire.
