Live Violin or Piano Music for Your Day

I'm Simon Jordan, a professional wedding musician - available to play violin or piano for your wedding or event.

I'll play any tune you choose, from Bach to Beyoncé to Bollywood.

Hello, I am Simon and
I play violin and piano

Wedding Musician Available Across the UK

I have been playing the violin since the age of five, studying at the Royal Academy of Music, where I won the violin prize. I have been a soloist at the Royal Festival Hall and have played annually for the Prime Minister’s Christmas Party at Chequers.

I’ll play acoustic or electric violin – or a mixture of both – with or without backing, depending on your taste. I am based near London but will travel across the UK, bringing my musical magic to any event.

I started learning the piano at age six and trained at the Royal Academy. I achieved three music A-Grades and have played for royalty and on tour around Europe.

I travel with a range of Yamaha and Roland stage pianos, so I can play at any venue. My playing will add elegance and distinction to any event. No other pianist for hire will let you choose every song.

The Ideal Musician For Weddings

Over 200 couples have hired me to play for their weddings
That experience means I know when to play (and when to shut up!)
I will play any tune and not make you pick from a list
My quotes include £1m PLI insurance, travel and music arrangement costs – other musicians will make you pay per arrangement
I play both violin and piano, so you can vary the sound across the day
You can audition me on Skype, FaceTime or Zoom
I talk to the venue and to the other suppliers before the day
So I work with them and don’t make myself the centre of attention, as many other musicians do
I travel with two iPad Pros full of sheet music, and will take requests on the day as well

Customer reviews

The music was incredible and really made the ceremony! We had so many comments from our guests saying how amazing the music was.

The whole afternoon was a magical whirlwind for me, but I clearly remember pausing at regular intervals because your lovely piano playing caught my attention. It was like having much needed pauses for breath!

Even when we went to sign the register we both stopped and said how much we loved the music you were playing. We will never forget the beautiful music on our wedding day, so thank you again.

Your Ceremony

The perfect musical accompaniment to your wedding ceremony

Ceremony

Understated music - handpicked by the bride and groom - played on violin or piano as guests settle into their seats. Specially arranged music of the bride and groom's choosing to cover the bride's entrance, the signing of the register and the exit of the newly married couple. Any special items can also be played for.

Drinks Reception

Entertain your guests while your photographer takes charge

Drinks Reception

Background violin or piano music during your drinks reception. The music is loud enough to can encourage your guests to mingle and relax while the bride and groom are elsewhere with the photographer - but not too loud to prevent conversation. Spur-of-the-moment requests are very happily taken!
