A singer pianist can be a wonderful choice for a wedding or funeral ceremony, combining the beauty of the human voice with the rich accompaniment of a piano. Having one musician provide both the singing and accompaniment can create a lovely sense of continuity throughout your ceremony. Singer pianists are remarkably versatile, often performing a mixture of vocal pieces and instrumental piano music. Their repertoire can range from classical and sacred music to traditional Irish songs and contemporary favourites, allowing you to create a musical programme that reflects your own tastes and preferences. Singer pianists can provide music throughout church weddings, civil and humanist ceremonies, as well as funeral services. From welcoming guests and performing entrance music to accompanying hymns, Communion, the signing of the register and the recessional, they can cater for many of the significant moments during your ceremony. Some also perform at wedding drinks receptions. One practical consideration is whether your chosen venue has a piano available or whether the musician can bring their own keyboard. Explore the singer pianists listed above on ChurchMusic.ie, listen to their recordings and browse their individual profiles. We recommend contacting several musicians to discuss their repertoire, accompaniment arrangements, availability, pricing and whether they travel to your chosen church or venue. Don't forget to ask about any special musical requests you might have, as many singer pianists will be happy to discuss arrangements of songs that hold particular meaning for you.
