Wedding Services

I can provide music throughout your special day – for your wedding ceremony, your drinks reception and your evening meal. Or for whichever parts you choose. Everyone’s plans are different, so I’ve made things simple.

All my services are individually priced so you can decide what suits you. Details available on request, so just send me your booking details to receive a quotation for your event.

Wedding ceremony music

Enjoy listening to your favourite songs on your special day! Choose your own music for the Processional, the Signing of the Register and the Recessional. You can also include additional instrumentals or hymns for religious ceremonies. As part of my service, I also provide music before the ceremony to create a welcoming atmosphere for your guests’ arrival.

Drinks reception music

Live music creates a wonderful atmosphere for special occasions, so why not treat your guests to an afternoon of classic love songs on piano? For your drinks reception, I would propose playing a selection of easy-listening songs and romantic ballads so your guests can relax and enjoy listening to the music whilst the happy couple celebrate their big day with a few photos!

Wedding consultations

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your wedding music in more detail with you. Should you wish to meet with me, I’d be happy to arrange a suitable time with you. Alternatively, we can discuss things over the phone or via email if this is more convenient for you. Just whichever you prefer.

Accompaniment for vocalists

I can provide accompaniment for vocalists if needed and transpose songs to their preferred pitch. I can also provide recordings of their chosen songs in advance, should this be helpful for rehearsal purposes.

Special song arrangements

As part of my service, I can create special arrangements of your chosen songs, even those which are not available as piano sheet music. Please ask me if you’d like a unique version of your favourite song!

Wedding rehearsals

If you would like me to attend your wedding rehearsal, please let me know. This is not normally included in my fee, however I would be happy to discuss this further with you as there are other options available. For example, I can provide recordings of songs in advance which will allow you to rehearse timings etc for your Processional.

Personalised wedding CD

If you wish, I can also provide a personalised CD of your wedding ceremony music so you can enjoy listening to the soundtrack to your special day again and again! This is available on request for a small fee.

It was lovely to meet you today and even lovelier to sing with you! You are a fantastic pianist. Your pieces were flawless and it was a joy to work with you! Maybe we will have the chance to work together again in the future!

We booked Alyson for our wedding on 30th October 2019 in Corick House for both our ceremony and reception drinks. From the moment we booked, Alyson could not do enough to help us. You were able to create the most special moment for us and one we’ll cherish forever when you completed a beautiful composition of our two favourite songs for when I walked down the aisle which had Chris and everyone else in tears. You were so professional and helpful, sending us all of our chosen songs in advance so we could be sure of what we wanted. Even when I asked for a song you had not tried before, you did not simply play from sheet music but edited it so it would be perfect for our day. Everyone remarked on your performance throughout the day and we both cannot wait to hear it again in our wedding video where we’ll definitely include your recordings throughout. It made our day even more special and we both cannot thank you enough! Definitely recommend hiring Alyson for any occasion!

We have had lots of messages and phone calls this morning to say that it was a great night. Your music was the finishing touch and just made it all perfect. We really appreciated the fact that you stayed until the very end of the night. We will certainly recommend you to other people and if we have a big celebration again, we will want you there.

I honestly cannot rate Alyson highly enough! From our very first emails regarding our wedding she was a pleasure to deal with, offering me not only great advice about musical choices but giving me great tips for walking down the aisle! I was incredibly impressed with the recordings she sent to me at various stages during the planning and her adaptability when it came to tailoring pieces for our specific requirements. On the day itself Alyson’s note perfect playing added an extra special element, everyone commented on how beautiful her playing was and I will always be grateful to her for learning a complicated favourite of mine which brought a big smile to my face in our drinks reception. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alyson to anyone wanting to add beautiful music to their special occasion – the service she provides is second to none!

Alyson played at our wedding in October. She was so lovely to work with and the music was absolutely beautiful. She created a medley for us of ‘Canon in D’ with Elvis Presley ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ for my Processional. I loved it so much! I listened to it in the run up to the wedding with so much excitement. Thank you Alyson!

Thank you so much for the beautiful piano music at our wedding. We really loved it and our family were remarking how moving and impressive the piano music was. I was listening to your recordings as I was getting ready on the morning of the wedding and every time I hear the songs I get goosebumps! My dad also wanted me to pass a thank you and appreciation of your talent and professionalism along. Sam and I have very happy memories and are very eager to recommend you to others. Thanks again.
