Musical Sam Services Full Description
I've been playing professionally for twenty years and have played piano and/or church organ for around three hundred weddings. I also have a party band and can provide wedding breakfast piano, with or without saxophone, violin or vocals. I also play accordion, which can be an absolute boon when changeable weather may (often, in these sceptred isles) not guarantee that guests and electronic gear can be used outside! The most effective package I offer is for the top-to-tail music provision, from organ at the service, duo during the photo hour, background piano during the breakfast and band/DJ in the evening. I love providing consultation online or over the phone for the service and solo/duo music. This often involves finding out favourite songs, bands or genres. The band welcomes requests for first dances but unfortunately cannot guarantee that many more requests will be provisioned accurately within time. All types of service and location are welcome. Travel is charged beyond twenty miles of my home and a contract is issued requesting 20% upfront and the balance on the week of the service.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Usually they send an email, we'll check the dates and fees, I'll issue a contract and we'll talk either over the phone, in person or via email to establish the musical order of service, song requests, timings, clothing etc. I contact the venue to check placement, power supplies, timings again and to provide PL certification.

What makes a romantic first dance?

A song loved by the couple and either known by the wedding party or easily connected with.

Probably still Uptown Funk, after all these years!
