Q: Is there anything we need to provide for the pianist?

A: The pianist will require a reliable power supply if providing his own equipment, and some refreshments at a convenient point during the session.


Q: Can Chris play for our wedding ceremony, and also for the drinks reception and dinner?

A: Chris can play for ceremony, reception or dinner - or for all three. The whole package!


Q: Where will Chris play?

A: Chris is happy to travel anywhere, but the fee may reflect travelling and, if required, accommodation.


Q: When is payment due?

A: A 40% deposit is required at the time of booking, with the balance payable on or before the day of performance.
