Packages
Please scroll down to see the typical wedding packages and respective prices with a description of what each package includes. Clicking on any of the packages will provide further information. These should give you a clear indication of price, but if none of these packages exactly matches your particular requirements or you are planning an event other than a wedding, please contact Antoine so that he can discuss with you exactly what you need and provide you with a no-obligation quote.
Please note that being based in Kingston upon Hull, East Yorkshire, the prices shown for each package include travel within a 50 mile radius of Hull. Antoine is more than happy to travel to any part of England, but there will be additional travel costs to add to the package prices - calculated upon the distance from Hull at approximately 40p per mile return journey distance.
In most cases, a deposit of 20% will be required to secure a booking, with the remainder payable on or before the day. The deposit can be paid by Paypal (see contact page), cheque, bank transfer or cash (if local). The remaining balance can be paid any time before or on the event date, and acceptable forms of payment are cash, cheque or bank transfer, but to allow for clearance time cheques must be received at least 5 days prior to the event. Bank transfer payments are usually almost instant so can be paid on the actual date, but preferably should be paid at least 1 day before. Other arrangements can be agreed in special circumstances (e.g. company functions) in which case please discuss this with Antoine prior to the event.
Please click on each of the packages for further detail about what the package offers:
» entrance of the bride
» signing of the register
» recessional music
This is the package to choose if you are simply looking for a pianist to play as family and guests arrive (up to 30 minutes prior to the start of your ceremony), followed by a piece you have chosen for the entrance of the bride, then some music during the signing of the register, and finally the exit music.
Arrival of guests before the ceremony
Your guests may start to arrive at least half an hour before the ceremony is due to start, so having some live background piano music during this period will really set the scene and create the perfect ambience as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of the Bride.
The ceremony
This comprises the main arrival and exit music, and two or three instrumentals or songs during the signing of the register. The entrance and exit music could be traditional, but you may prefer to go with something very different and unique instead, for example an instrumental version of a very recent song. Whatever you would like, Antoine will try to accommodate your requests to make your ceremony as memorable and individual as possible, if necessary learning the music just for your special day.
» optional vocals if required
» requests welcome
One sure way of creating the perfect mood as your guests are enjoying the drinks reception and wedding 'breakfast' is with a live pianist performing a smooth and relaxing flow of familiar tunes and completely original interpretations of well known popular songs from many eras and genres.
With this package you will get exactly that - live piano (plus vocals if required) throughout the drinks reception or through the wedding breakfast for up to around 3 hours of continuous playing, without breaks of any length other than for speeches and announcements (unless you prefer to have breaks which is fine), or alternatively to have piano/vocal entertainment during the drinks reception.
Please note that if you require both drinks reception and the wedding breakfast you will need to upgrade to the SILVER PLUS package priced at £350 (+ any travel costs)
If you would like to also have some singing, or some songs also accompanied with acoustic guitar, please do make this clear when booking as additional equipment such as mic and PA will need to be provided. There is no additional charge for this however.
Antoine will do his best to learn any particular requests you may have as long as you give enough notice before the day. Requests on the actual day will also be welcome and performed if at all possible, particularly if they are already included on the repertoire list.

Drinks Reception or Wedding Breakfast
One sure way of creating the perfect mood as your guests are enjoying the drinks reception and wedding 'breakfast' is with a live pianist performing a smooth and relaxing flow of familiar tunes and completely original interpretations of well known popular songs from many eras and genres.
With this package you will get exactly that, live piano (plus vocals & acoustic guitar if required) either during the drinks reception, or throughout the wedding breakfast for up to 3 hours of continuous playing, with breaks only for speeches and announcements (unless you prefer to have breaks which is fine).
If you require both the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast, you will need to upgrade to the GOLD PLUS package which is priced at £400 (+ any travel costs)
If you would like to also have some singing, please do make this clear when booking as additional equipment such as mic and PA will be required.

with stage piano and acoustic guitar
» requests taken (from songlist)
» very wide song range
Quite different from the relaxed background piano instrumentals that Antoine might play during a typical wedding breakfast or function meal,
his live vocal entertainment is lively, fun, emotional, powerful and very diverse, as well as interactive - as the audience is warmly invited to request the songs
and artists they would like to hear from song lists which are handed out.
Unlike many other solo performers, Antoine does not use any form of backing track and his performances are always completely live, self accompanied with both stage piano and acoustic guitar. Having the choice of both instruments works well as some songs and genres of music are really piano-orientated whilst others spring to life far better on guitar. Switching between the two also keeps the performance more interesting and unpredictable, making possible a much wider range of textures and styles.

An amazing and talented musician who helped to make our day so much more special.
I had my heart set on walking down the aisle to "You've Got The Love" by Florence and the Machine but needed a slower version.Antoine went as far as to specially record the track for me and sent a sample of the recording to me before the day.My partner and I are both keen on rock music and made a special request for Antoine to play a song by Blink 182.He had never been requested to play this before but went out of his way to learn how to play it for us. We loved the Blink 182!
Everyone commented on how amazing Antoine was and how they would love to hire him for their special occasion.
We would definitely recommend him for any occasion. Thank you so much Antoine for all your efforts. Faye xxx
