by admin // January 15, 2026 // Comments off

As a recommended supplier at Wyresdale Park, I always love it when I get booked as a Wyresdale Weddings Pianist and in 2025 I was honoured to play 11 of my Weddings at this unique and beautiful venue. https://www.wyresdalepark.co.uk/wedding-venue

Wyresdale Weddings Pianist - 11 Amazing Weddings! 1

I can set up my portable white ‘Dutchgrand’ in any of the areas, allowing me to play for a wedding ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, or even all three parts of the day. This venue always looks great, whatever the weather and you have the great option of the ceremony garden if the weather is on your side. I loved playing outside here many times last year, and Gemma from Bluebells & Daisies is always on hand to enhance your wedding with stunning flowers, alongside the fabulous The Striped Kitchen who provide delicious catering. Jaydi, Leah, Claire and the rest of the Wyresdale team are so welcoming and great at running an amazing wedding!

With all my bookings I include a FaceTime call to help you choose your ceremony music, have a chat and play examples for you to make sure your walk down the aisle is perfect.

All my pianist packages can be used at Wyresdale Weddings. You can see all my packages and prices here Prices

Wyresdale Weddings Pianist – Mia and Leon.

It was a pleasure to play for the lovely Mia and Leon on Tuesday 25th March 2025, all day at Wyresdale Weddings. Songs included ‘Amazed’ by Lonestar, ‘Tightrope’ from The Greatest Showman and the traditional wedding march exit. I loved the Country music theme at the wedding and the cake was amazing with the little cowboy boots! Both Mia and Leon looked absolutely gorgeous!!

It was wonderful to be back at Wyresdale Park and as one of their recommended suppliers I was thrilled to see the amazing changes and renovations that have been done in such a short time, including the beautiful new entertainment space and the gorgeous arrival area outside.

Huge congratulations to Amy and Matthew who were married on the 30th October at the beautiful Wyresdale Weddings at Wyresdale Park. So much planning had gone into this amazing wedding and everything was perfect for this wonderful couple. Amy looked stunning as she walked in the aisle to my favourite mashup, Canon in D with ‘Can’t help falling in love.’ This one works so perfectly and it’s very adaptable to fit with any size of bridal party. It was a beautiful moment as Amy walked in to ‘Can’t help falling in love.’

I particularly loved that Matthew and Amy chose songs that had featured in both of their parents weddings to be played as they signed the marriage schedule – ‘Always’ by Atlantic Starr and ‘Lady in Red’ by Chris de Burgh
I played a selection of songs for everyone during the wedding breakfast.

Simone and Daniel were married at the end of May at the beautiful Mytton Fold. I love playing here as it has a wonderful grand piano which can be played during the ceremony and the wedding breakfast in the large function room. Simone is a big Taylor Swift fan and so she walked down the aisle to a mash up of ‘Wildest Dreams and ‘Daylight.’ Thanks to Emma, Patryk and the brilliant Mytton Fold team for making me welcome every time I come here!!

A Brilliant Review for Bartle Hall Pianist Liz Hendry

by admin // June 3, 2025 // Comments off

I played at my most regular venue, Bartle Hall, for Atlanta and Anthony in May 2025 on a glorious sunny day. I’m the recommended pianist at Bartle Hall and always delighted to be able to play for their open events and trial meals where I get to meet couples who are planning their wedding, and play for them. It was wonderful to meet Atlanta and Anthony and work with them to plan their important song choices. We were so thrilled that it was a sunny day and I was able to play outside for the drinks reception.

Bartle Hall Pianist

Jamie-Lee and Billy picked the perfect day to get married at the beginning of May at Bartle Hall in the sunshine.
Jamie had recorded a wonderful message which was played for Billy before she walked down the aisle to an arrangement of Wildest Dreams and Here Comes the Bride. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house!
Jamie sent a fantastic review!
Congratulations to a lovely couple and I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Here is another review from one of my fabulous Bartle Hall couples, Ste and Nicole. They were married in August 2026. I met Ste and Nicole at one of Bartle Hall’s open events, where you can often find me playing as their recommended pianist.

Wedding Pianist Reviews

by admin // August 26, 2024 // Comments off

Here are some recent reviews for Wedding Pianist Liz Hendry from brides and grooms at North West weddings.

Mr and Mrs Parker were married at Ashfield House, Standish, Lancashire in April 2024

Liz played at our wedding for the ceremony, drink reception, and the wedding breakfast. Her music was breathtaking and she ensured all the pieces she played were to our liking. The communication that Liz offered was second to none! She was always available to answer any of our questions on the lead up to the wedding which made us feel at ease amongst the craziness of all the planning. But besides this, what Liz did for my husband and I put the cherry on top… She took two of our most favourite songs, which had no piano sheet music may I add, and created the most perfect mash up for me to walk down the aisle to. Her experience and skills shone through when we first heard the sample and we were totally amazed at what she was capable of. The moment I walked down the aisle was certainly one of the best memories. My husband and I truly felt that the music became the theme tune to the beginning of the rest of our lives together.

We cannot thank you enough Liz, you were amazing from start to finish and your music created such a great atmosphere throughout the day.

Mr and Mrs Gregory were married at Barton Manor, Preston, in August 2024

We had the absolute pleasure of Liz playing at our wedding on Friday for our ceremony and drinks reception and all I can say is wow! we got our wedding video back last night and being able to watch it back and see all the bits we missed was amazing. Liz is so so talented and it was exactly the kind of atmosphere we were hoping for, all our guests loved it and it was a massive talking point of the day. Liz even took the time out of her day to come and see us and introduce herself which was a lovely touch.
Liz was so accommodating in our song choices and made the most incredible mash up of our two favourite songs that honestly have me in tears every time I hear it. I cannot recommend Liz enough, thank you so much!

Jenny and Ryan were married at The Red Hall Hotel, Bury in July 2024

Liz played at our wedding at the Red Hall Hotel on 21.7.24, which was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding! From the music coming down the aisle to her playing at the wedding breakfast, it was just perfect. She was excellent in accommodating my requests, which included music from Lord of The Rings (which my husband is obsessed with) and her music created such a wonderful atmosphere. Would 10000% recommend Liz to anyone! Thank you so much 💕 xx

Mr and Mrs Grove were married at Mitton Hall in August 2024

One of the best decisions we made when it came to planning our wedding was having Liz there to play through the ceremony and wedding breakfast.

From the initial video call right through to the end of our wedding breakfast she was amazing. Thank you for playing such a big part of our special day Liz 😀👍🏻

Nickie and Dean were married at The Parrs Bank Hotel, Warrington

Liz was 1 of the best decisions I made for my wedding day (other than saying yes to my husband 😂) her music was just absolutely stunning and made my wedding day that even more special. My guests were so complimentary about her and the music selection.

Communication from the get go was brilliant, Liz is very professional and she is definitely worth the money. The memory of her playing the piano as I walked down the aisle will stay with me and Dean forever. Such a special day with amazing people, you will not be disappointed 🫶

Mr and Mrs Bounds were married at Lancashire Manor, near Skelmersdale, Merseyside

Liz we can’t thank you enough for playing at our wedding on Friday the 16th of August at the Lancashire manor everyone commented how beautiful the piano sounded and the choice of music was excellent it was a great addition to our wedding and highly recommend you to anyone thinking of using you thanks again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Liverpool Wedding Pianist

by admin // June 19, 2024 // Comments off

When they were looking for a Liverpool Wedding Pianist, Joseph and Michael found Liz Hendry exhibiting in the State Dining Room at Knowsley Hall, as she is one of the recommended suppliers. https://knowsleyhallvenue.co.uk/
Massive congratulations to Joseph and Michael who were married in May at their very stylish Knowsley Hall wedding. They made their beautiful entrance together to ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ and what an amazing exit song, – ‘Video Killed The Radio Star!’
What a wonderful couple to work for. They were so kind and such lovely people. Liz was thrilled and honoured that they chose her to provide their music.

Liverpool Wedding Pianist Review

Some kind words from Joseph and Michael

Why did you book Liz Hendry?

When we first met Liz, her kindness, professionalism, and amazing skill convinced us immediately that Liz would make our wedding day perfect. We heard Liz play at an open evening and straight away we started the booking process. Subsequently we met many couples and other suppliers who each recommended Liz – so we knew we made the right choice, but we definitely would have been contacting Liz then if we hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting her already.

What effect did Liz’s playing have on your wedding?

Our guests loved Liz’s work and we can’t recount the number of people who told us they enjoyed Liz’s music. Liz really perfected our day and lifted the atmosphere. Incredibly kindly, Liz was able to play something special for our exit music which wasn’t in her repertoire. There’s something extra special that Liz brings to her work – ontop of her brilliant music and skill, Liz’s warm smile and welcoming approach to her work helped us relax and really enjoy our day.

Would you recommend Liz to others?

Definitely! The real difficultly came from working with Liz to select the best music for our day! Liz has such a large and varied repertoire that we wanted to hear everything! With such a large, varied and fun repertoire you’ll be able to find many, many songs and pieces you can’t wait to hear.

Any additional comments

The booking, contract and deposit and payment process was great. We could keep and download copies of all information and receipts at any time. Liz took time to make sure we understood the booking process, answered all questions we had, and provided us with very clear and easy-to-use website and booking information.

This wedding had the real ‘wow’ factor and Jason and the Knowsley team did a superb job to make everything fabulous.
Stunning flowers were designed by https://www.flowerstylebylaurie.co.uk/Flowerstyle by Laurie, Formby and https://www.zandamagic.com/Zanda Magic provided great entertainment whilst I was playing for drinks. Kellianne Photographer was there to capture everything.

Lancashire Manor Hotel is a wonderful wedding venue with a fantastic team to ensure you have the perfect wedding. The Great Hall really has the WOW factor with its high ceiling, crystal chandeliers, galleried balcony and amazing acoustics. See the Lancashire Manor Website here https://lancashiremanorweddings.co.uk/

A variety of lovely spaces to use for your wedding at Lancashire Manor.

As well as the gorgeous Great Hall, which can be used for your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception, Lancashire Manor has a lovely outside area, ideal for photographs, and a lovely homely bar area, and hotel lounge where guests can relax and have a drink, with plenty of seating available.

Your ceremony in The Great Hall at Lancashire Manor

The Great Hall is a beautiful location for your civil ceremony. As recommended suppliers at Lancashire Manor, myself, or my husband Mark the Piano Guy https://www.thepianoguy.co.uk/ are often booked to provide bespoke live piano music for wedding ceremonies. We bring a portable, white, Dutch Grand piano, with Bose sound system to provide the perfect soundtrack as your guests take their seats, you walk down the aisle, sign the marriage schedule and exit together as a newly married couple.

Your wedding breakfast at Lancashire Manor

Following your ceremony and celebratory drinks reception, guests are invited to return to the Great Hall for the ‘Wedding Breakfast’ (the first meal together as a married couple.) The room is re-dressed with dining tables quickly by the amazing staff at Lancashire Manor and you can also enjoy lovely live piano music as you dine.

Recommended Suppliers at Lancashire Manor

As recommended suppliers as Lancashire Manor, both myself and my husband Mark The Piano Guy have performed at many weddings in the Great Hall, both individually and together in our ‘Unforgettable Package.’ We are proud of our record of 100% satisfaction with all our couples giving positive feedback about how we helped to make their wedding day even more special. You can often find myself or Mark performing at the venue wedding fairs and open days along side the other recommended suppliers.

I received a lovely review on Facebook from Mrs Becky Hulme saying

”Liz played at our wedding at the Lancashire Manor in September. I can honestly say this was one of our favourite parts. From the start, Liz gets your personal input on the songs and can also help with suggestions on other songs to play throughout the service.
As she started to play my entry song the hairs stood up on the back of my neck, it was perfect.
All our guests commented how beautiful the music was and how personalised it was as they recognised our favourite songs (some rock songs made into beautiful ballads)
I would highly recommend Liz to anyone who wants the perfect personal touch to their wedding.”

Another lovely review came from Mr and Mrs Gibson

“We couldn’t thank Liz enough. She played through our ceremony and wedding breakfast and she was absolutely perfect. She helped set such a wonderful atmosphere and I lost count of just how many people commented on the music being played. I would (and will be doing) highly recommend Liz to anyone who is looking at getting married in the future. Once again, thankyou Liz for helping our day be even better than we could have hoped for.”
Mr and Mrs Gibson

We loved celebrating with Shevaughn and Andrew who booked both of us (Mark and Liz) to play for them all day. We received this wonderful review from Shevaughn.

“Cannot thank Mark and Liz enough for the amazing job entertaining both us and all of our guests at our wedding this weekend!
Mark – beautiful music for our ceremony and great entertainment throughout the day. A special thank you for making our speeches a little bit different too.
Liz – perfect mood setting during the drinks reception and fantastic ensemble of Disney and musical theatre tunes at our request through our breakfast! We loved watching people recognising each one you played!
Just a massive thank you and highly recommended to anyone considering you for any special occasion!
Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx”

Cheshire Wedding Pianist

by admin // June 16, 2023 // Comments off

Cheshire wedding pianist Liz Hendry was back at Sandhole Oakbarn to play on a beautiful sunny day for Joy and Ryan. The ceremony was in the amazing barn conducted by Cheshire East Registration service, or as they are widely known, Your Ceremony, with a gorgeous view of the Sandhole Lake in the background. https://yourceremony.org.uk/

Cheshire wedding pianist playing modern songs

Joy and Ryan were really keen to have modern music in their ceremony and Joy walked down the aisle to Liz’s version of ‘Symphony’ by Clean Bandit, which is a lovely choice and really unique. The exit song was ‘Clocks’ by Coldplay which is a great upbeat tune, full of energy for the Grand Exit. The piano at Sandhole Oakbarn is well looked after and in amazing condition so it’s always a pleasure to play it.

Outdoor drinks reception – Cheshire Wedding Pianist

Due to the amazing weather, everyone headed outside for photos during the drinks reception where Liz had set up her portable piano under the clock tower to play and entertain the guests during drinks and canapés from Top Table, who provided the catering for this lovely Cheshire wedding. Liz continued with modern covers of popular songs, everything from Oasis, Louis Capaldi with some film music, dance tunes, and indie and rock thrown in. Andy Griffiths was there taking pictures and family shots in front of the lake, and capturing all the fun in a natural way as it happened on the day.

A review from Ryan and Joy

Ryan and Joy were kind enough to write a Google review a few days after the wedding which was really kind of them. It said,

“Liz is absolutely amazing if anyone is looking for a pianist to play at their wedding get in contact with Liz! She played on our wedding day at The Sandhole Oakbarn where she played a great selection of music which started the day off perfectly. Thank you!

“Liz played at our wedding September 2022. From the moment we met Liz and listened to her music at Mottram open day back in 2020 we knew she was perfect! We had to post pone our day to covid and Liz was able to move our day to the new date 😊 Liz is so down to earth and gave us lots of recommendations on songs and listened to our thoughts on what we liked. I had a call with her a couple of weeks before the big day and Liz played our walk down the aisle song and entrance song to make sure it was perfect. On our day she played absolutely beautifully. All of our guests commented on how lovely it was to listen to through the wedding breakfast.
Highly highly recommend!!! Liz you are amazing!!”

Colshaw Hall Pianist – 3 AMAZING recent weddings

by admin // May 19, 2023 // Comments off

It’s a pleasure to be a visiting Colshaw Hall Pianist. Here are 3 recent weddings there. It is a delight to work at such a stunning venue where there is a grand piano in the ceremony hall, and I can use my portable white baby grand to play in the main building for the drinks reception or wedding breakfast. https://www.colshawhall.com/

Colshaw Hall pianist- 3 recent weddings- Wedding 1

I had a wonderful time celebrating with Hannah and Tom at Colshaw Hall. I really enjoyed playing the Fleetwood Mac version of ‘Songbird’ for Hannah as she walked down the aisle, as well as some cool tunes for Tom including The Mandalorian Theme and The Super Mario Brothers Theme. I’m happy to learn one or two new songs for each bride and groom. I think it is important for the ceremony music to be a reflection of each couple!

It was great to see Harvey Films https://harveyfilms.com/ (thanks for the unexpected roadie help!!) and wonderful to work with Ian the toastmaster and Tracy from Colshaw Hall who are both really friendly, helpful and great fun.

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Johnson!

Katherine and Andrew had the most amazing day at the very beautiful and luxurious Colshaw Hall in Cheshire. I loved playing the piano for their ceremony and drinks reception and what lovely guests they had who were enjoying the beautiful surroundings whilst celebrating with Mr and Mrs Scully. Katherine chose a gorgeous entrance piece which was the John Mayer version of ‘XO,’ which I loved arranging for her, especially the beautiful introduction. I was also pleased to play another of my favourite songs for the grand exit, ‘Clocks’ by Coldplay.

Colshaw Hall Pianist – 3 Recent Weddings- Wedding 3

It was beautiful in March at Colshaw Hall for the wedding of Shereen and Tom. I loved playing for their drinks reception and wedding breakfast. What a delight to be at this amazing venue and I was even lucky enough to have some delicious food provided by Barretts Event Caterers Ltd. https://www.barrettseventcaterers.com/

Shereen and Tom chose ‘Chase the sun’ by Planet Funk as a really cool entrance piece as they were announced into the room as The New Mr and Mrs Batchelor!

Congratulations to a wonderful couple 😍🎹

The Villa at Wrea Green

by admin // April 21, 2023 // Comments off

The Villa at Wrea Green is a country house hotel in the beautiful Lancashire countryside. There is a beautiful hall for ceremonies, a piano lounge for drinks reception and a fantastic purpose built pavilion for wedding breakfasts and evening receptions. You can often find myself or my husband Mark the Piano Guy https://www.thepianoguy.co.uk/ playing at their open events and wedding fairs as recommended suppliers.

Here is the ceremony hall at The Villa at Wrea Green

In April Mr and Mrs Webster had an amazing wedding at the The Villa Wrea Green. I played for an emotional ceremony and there was a very fun crowd supporting this lovely couple. (Plus some unusual, gorgeous, furry guests. Alpacas!) After playing for the ceremony in the hall, I played during the drinks reception in the piano lounge.

Mere Court Wedding

by admin // April 12, 2023 // Comments off

After a couple of postponements of her Mere Court Wedding, I was thrilled to finally play beautiful Laura down the aisle when she married her lovely partner Fez in the Arboreum. As you can see here they were married in front of this lovely window over looking the gardens at the Mere Court, which is just outside Knutsford. Find out more about Mere Court weddings here https://www.merecourt.co.uk/weddings/

They had chosen one of my favourite songs ‘A Million Dreams!’ which I played for Laura to walk down the aisle.

Friends and family had travelled from all over the UK to celebrate with them and they enjoyed amazing food, drinks and lots of fun here at this wonderful Mere Court wedding. I played throughout the meal for them and then I particularly enjoyed the speeches which were really entertaining.

The team here at The Mere Court did an amazing job, as well as

Mere Court Wedding Review

Laura was kind enough to add this lovely review on my Facebook page.

“Liz played at our wedding in December. She was absolutely wonderful! We had Liz play throughout our meal and it was so relaxing to hear for the guests. Liz plays such a range of songs so nothing was too much trouble when we asked for a request. Thank you so much Liz 💓 xxx”

Wyresdale Park Weddings

by admin // April 10, 2023 // Comments off

Wyresdale Park weddings are held in a collection of beautiful rustic barns set in rolling countryside on the outskirts of Scorton, Lancashire. There is a lovely ceremony barn with amazing acoustics, perfect for couples who are looking at having live music in their wedding ceremony. My white piano looks fantastic in this room.

Wyresdale Park Weddings with piano music

As well as in the ceremony room, the piano can be moved around throughout the day. It’s a lovely option to have a pianist throughout the wedding breakfast too which adds an ambience throughout the meal, without dominating too much, and allowing people to still chat. It also adds a talking point as many people naturally play ‘Name that tune.’
Here is the piano set up for a wedding breakfast. The beautiful flowers are provided by Bluebells and Daisies, who are based at Wyresdale Park Weddings.

Maria and Chris booked me to play throughout their wedding breakfast and had an amazing first meal together as husband and wife, with fantastic food from The Striped Kitchen, who provide the catering here. https://www.thestripedkitchen.co.uk/

They made their entrance into the room as Mr and Mrs Hughes to ‘The You and Me Song’ by The Wannadies. I then played a selection from my repertoire including songs the couple liked including Sky full of Stars by Coldplay and The Friends Theme.

Special Arrangements at Wyresdale Park Weddings

I played for the ceremony and wedding breakfast for Georgia and Ethan who wanted really unique music in their ceremony to reflect their relationship. I did special arrangements of ‘Take on the World’ by You and Me at Six and ‘The World Could End with You’ by Llunr. It was lovely to play music that meant so much to them.

I received a lovely card from them in the post.

Traditional music for Wyresdale Park weddings

In March, Lauren and Daniel booked me to play for them all day, and Lauren choose to walk down the aisle to the more traditional option of ‘Canon in D.’ This made for an absolutely beautiful entrance. They then wanted a more alternative mix of music during the meal which included Indie, dance and rock music.

Check out this amazing venue at https://wyresdaleweddings.co.uk/ It’s such an amazing place where you can celebrate in style with everything under one roof, lovely outside areas, and very attentive staff to make your wedding day perfect.

Bartle Hall was the setting for this beautiful winter wedding and Claire and Tim were an amazing and lovely couple to work for with great taste in music. Featured songs were ‘True’ by Spandau Ballet and ‘Hey Ho’ by the Lumineers. Their guests really knew how to celebrate and were all having a great time.

Simply The Best – Bartle Hall Pianist

Myself and Tim cannot thank Liz enough for making our wedding day the day it was. It was the most easiest decision to make on hearing her play at the Bartle Hall open day back in April, as soon as we heard her we wanted her! We booked her there and then, had a lovely call with her to go over the song choices and she just got us and what we’re about. We wanted a song from the Lumineers for the brides entrance song. It wasn’t listed on her repertoire but Liz did it for us, absolutely loved it!!!

Such a talented Pianist and can literally play anything. She gave us goose pimples throughout the ceremony and all through dinner, everyone in the room loved her and commented. Thank you Liz for such a wonderful vibe at our wedding, you were definitely meant to be and so glad we saw you when we did. You’re amazing! Thank you! Claire and Tim xxx

A Wonderful Wrightington Wedding

What a scorcher!!! A heavenly wedding day experience for Tracey and Wayne at their Wrightington Wedding at Wrightington Hotel & Health Club in July 2021.
https://www.wrightingtonhotel.co.uk/

Stunning bride Tracey at her Wrightington Wedding

This lovely couple had chosen a really interesting and fun mix of music from romance, to football, to military tunes. The highlight of the wedding was when Tracey walked in to ‘How long will I love you’ and I could hear the gasps as she looked ABSOLUTELY STUNNING in this amazing, stylish dress which I totally love!

This song by Ellie Goulding is a fantastic choice for a romantic wedding ceremony. Find out more about my top suggestions for wedding ceremonies by heading over to my wedding song list.

‘Liz I cannot thank you enough for your service yesterday. We had the most perfect day made even more special by your presence. You have been patient, helpful and a pleasure to work with through very tough times having to reorganise our wedding 3 times. You play beautifully and had me in tears playing ‘how long will I love you’ for my walk down the aisle. We will definitely be recommending you to everyone. Thanks again xx’

Beautiful brides Victoria and Amanda were married in Early July 2021 at Nunsmere Hall Hotel and what a fabulous wedding! It was my first time here and I absolutely loved it! http://Nunsmere.co.uk

This venue is stunning inside and out with a beautiful Hall for the wedding daytime, and a large marquee for the evening reception, or to host bigger weddings. The service here is second to none with very attentive staff and wedding co-ordination.
