Music has always been part of who I am.
I started playing piano at the age of four and went on to study music formally, gaining a Diploma in Piano Performance and a BA in Music and Management Sciences. Since 2001, I’ve been performing professionally across the UK and beyond, including appearances at the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, and internationally in Austria, Italy and Malaysia.
Hi. I’m Ben
a professional wedding pianist based in the heart of the Midlands
Since 2008, I’ve focused on weddings, creating personal and memorable soundtracks for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts. Whether it’s a classic love song, a piece from a favourite film or something completely unexpected, I love helping couples find music that truly reflects them.
Outside of music, I live in South Derbyshire with my wife Rosa and our little boy, Gabriel. Rosa and I met in 2017 and got married five years later in her hometown in Puglia, South Italy. She’s my rock and continues to support everything I do. When I’m not performing, I love spending time with Gabriel. Whether we’re playing in the garden, heading to the park or just being silly together, those moments mean the world to me.

I feel incredibly lucky to do what I love for a living and to be part of such joyful, unforgettable days. If you’re planning your wedding and would love to include live piano music, I’d be delighted to hear from you and see how I can help bring your vision to life.
Why I become a Wedding Pianist…
I didn’t plan to become a wedding pianist, it just sort of found me. One of the moments that really made it all click was when I met Libby and Bradley. They shared how much a song called “Love the Hell Out of You” meant to them. The lyrics, the memories of seeing it live together, it was more than just a song.
So on their wedding day, just before they walked into their wedding breakfast, I had an idea. I asked if they’d like a quiet two minutes together while I played something just for them. A little surprise, a little moment that was all theirs.
That’s why I do this. It’s not just about playing music. It’s about helping create moments that mean something.
