About this template
For wedding receptions this includes providing background piano music during the wedding breakfast or luncheon to entertain your guests with their meal. I can play all sorts of music and songs for around two hours. It can be linked to the occasion or I can play anything at all so long as it has a romantic flavour to the day.
I like to dedicate a couple of tunes to the newly married couple. This is something that I should like to formally announce at the time, if possible, when the speeches are being made, toward the end of my playing time.
I can also play requests for tunes that your guests would like to hear. All they have to do is to complete a little card which is placed on the table before your guest’s arrival, and once I receive the request, if I know the tune or song requested, I will play it at some point during my allotted time.
I always reserve the right not to play a tune that is unsuitable for the occasion, such as D.I.V.O.R.C.E! Whilst I can appreciate the joke, you never really know whether there is a hidden meaning behind the request, so I like to steer clear of that one.
In the fullness of time I shall include some audio examples of my playing the piano for those who would like a demonstration of my talents, however, for the time being, I should be delighted to make an appointment either at my home or at a venue with a piano in place, and I shall play a few tunes for you to help your decision to use my services. Please send me an email for this request and I shall give you a call as soon as possible in response and discuss the appointment.
I am fully aware
of the costs incurred when organizing a wedding, so therefore my policy
is to charge according to your budget, but please be aware that I have
to cover my costs and take into account my experience and status in this
business. I promise you I don't quote extortionate fees, but it will be
good value for money. Please note expenses are charged in addition to my
professional fees, but these will be kept to a minimum. Payment is due
on the day of the event, by cash or check made
payable to Ben Adams. You may also be required
to reserve your date via Pay Pal or check with a refundable deposit.
For those with small budgets please do not hesitate to contact me, as we
still may be able to agree a price, as the one thing I want to be able
to do is to satisfy those weddings that are on a low budget. Please be
sure to book early to avoid disappointment because my diary does get
quite full during the high seasons.
I hope the above has whetted your appetite to book me for your wedding date, and I hope that everything on the day goes according to plan. I look forward to being a part of your special day, and wish you both well as you start the journey of married life together. Remember to book early to avoid disappointment.
By the way, it is your responsibility to hire a piano and make sure it is in tune for me to play on the day of the function. I cannot recommend any firm personally, but if you look in the Yellow Pages or go online to www.yell.com I am sure you will be able to find a local supplier of pianos for hire at a reasonable cost. I do have an electric piano that is available for all occasions, but do not provide full-scale pianos for any events. Those are provided by you if you so desire.
I am also available to play for many other events including:
Wedding receptions
Awards ceremonies
Family celebrations
Banquets & dinner-dances
Corporate lunches & dinners
Formal or informal lunches & dinners
Bar mitzvahs & bat mitzvahs
Civic functions
Garden parties
Sporting events
Gala events
Masonic ladies’ festivals
