Garden Party Pianist - music for summer events

Garden party events usually take place in the Summer months in the UK due to our ever-changing weather. However it is also common to have or hire a marquee for housing such a garden party, especially when a pianist is employed, or when events continue past dark.

A pianist, and indeed the piano, should be protected from the weather. It can also be rather cumbersome to suddenly have to move a piano from its outside location. All in all its better to have a roofing cover, and if the pianist is using his own electric instrument, amp and speakers the pianist should be housed in a marquee or indoors. Usually the amplification is more than capable of covering the whole garden party area, but if the pianist is going to play a grand piano or upright piano, it is worth considering a small outlay on some amplification if the garden party is covering a large area.

Piano Music for the Garden Party

As you will see from my main cocktail pianist page I play music across the board from classical to jazz standards, including just about any style. Garden party music usually consists of sophisticated cocktail music from the pianist for background to guests arrival and drinks. This may require a variation into jazzier or more commercial piano styles later in the event. I will play requests and design the programme according to your exact specifications, or I can be left to organise the event using my expertise and long experience so that you do not have to concern yourselves about this aspect of the garden party if you so wish.

The atmosphere can also be greatly enhanced in the evenings by high-quality garden lighting, and if you are interested in lighting for your garden, Andrew James Garden Lighting will provide the highest standard.

AREAS: East Anglia (including Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk), Essex, Cambridge, Hertfordshire, London and all surrounding areas of the UK.
