Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking live piano for your Calgary event.

How much does a wedding pianist cost in Calgary?
Pricing is based on the duration, number of sets, and specific requirements of your event. Rather than a fixed rate, I provide a tailored custom quote for every booking. Contact me for a detailed, no-obligation quote.
What areas do you serve outside of Calgary?
I regularly perform at weddings and private events in Banff, Alberta, Canmore, and throughout Southern Alberta. A standard travel fee applies and is always clearly outlined in your quote.
Do you provide your own piano and sound system?
Yes. If your venue does not have an in-house grand piano, I can provide a professional-grade stage piano and a discreet sound system scaled to your space — indoors, under a tent, or in a grand ballroom.
Can you learn a specific song for my wedding ceremony?
Absolutely. I am happy to learn special requests for your processional, first dance, or any other moment, given sufficient advance notice. This is part of creating a truly bespoke musical experience for your day.
How far in advance should I book?
Popular wedding dates in Calgary, Banff, and Canmore fill quickly — particularly May through September. I recommend reaching out 6 to 12 months in advance to secure your preferred date.
Do you perform at outdoor venues?
Yes, with conditions. A shaded or covered area is required, and an indoor backup location is strongly recommended for Alberta's unpredictable weather. Your guests and your music deserve a flawless experience regardless of conditions.
How long do you typically perform at a wedding?
A typical wedding engagement covers the ceremony (prelude, processional, registry signing, and recessional) plus the cocktail hour. Performances range from a single 30-minute set to a full evening of live music — fully customizable to your schedule.
Can you play for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour?
Yes, and this is one of the most popular combinations. A consistent live pianist across both moments creates a seamless, elevated atmosphere from the moment your guests arrive to the start of dinner.
What styles of music do you offer?
My repertoire spans over 1,000 songs across jazz standards, classical, bossa nova, pop, Motown, Broadway, Disney, country, and contemporary wedding favourites. Style is fully tailored to your event's atmosphere. Browse the full song list.
Are you available for corporate events and private parties?
Yes. In addition to weddings, I regularly perform at corporate galas, private dinners, holiday parties, product launches, and upscale private celebrations throughout Calgary and Southern Alberta.
What is your cancellation or reschedule policy?
Full details are provided in your booking agreement. A deposit secures your date, and I work with clients individually on rescheduling for unforeseen circumstances.
How do I check your availability for my event date?
The fastest way is to use the Contact form. Provide your event date, location, and a brief description. I respond promptly to confirm availability and arrange a complimentary consultation.
