Piano music can add a lovely atmosphere to your wedding and for those getting married at Beeston Manor, Liz would be delighted to be your Beeston Manor pianist!

Beeston Manor is an award winning wedding venue in a beautiful spot in Houghton, Lancashire. They have been hosting weddings and events for over 15 years and it’s the perfect place, if you are looking for an exclusive wedding venue.

It has amazing spaces for all parts of your wedding including ceremony, drinks reception indoors or outdoors, and a fabulous wedding breakfast room with gorgeous countryside views.

Huge congratulations to Shauna and Steven who were married at Beeston Manor in October. Liz was thrilled to play for their ceremony and wedding breakfast.

This couple are so lovely and it was great to hear all about the story of their relationship and get to know them. The ceremony was fabulous, made even more special by a beautiful poem, written by Shauna! They asked Liz to play some of my favourites- ‘A Thousand Years,’ ‘Gift of a Thistle (The Braveheart Theme)’ and ‘Sky Full of Stars!’

There is a handy lift at Beeston Manor to get my equipment upstairs to the beautiful ceremony room. Then afterwards the piano can be moved downstairs and set up for the wedding breakfast.

Beeston Manor Pianist- Wedding Breakfast Music

I was pleased to play for Karah and Rob Beaumont, and provided piano music, and versions of songs that they loved, throughout their wedding breakfast.
I got a lovely review from Rob on Facebook saying

”Liz played beautifully at our wedding -absolutely wonderful music, all the guests loved it and she even learned a new song we wanted to be played when we walked into the room. 100% recommend.”

You can see my other Facebook reviews and posts all about my Weddings on my Facebook page here.

Here I am with Karah who looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day at Beeston Manor.

The food at Beeston Manor is incredible and you can see photographs of the various dishes if you visit the Beeston Manor website. The food is all home-cooked, prepared by the venues in-house chefs who do an amazing job.

If you are considering a Beeston Manor Pianist at your wedding, you can choose from lots of different packages that I offer depending on which part of the day you would like music for.

You can see all the packages under my price list tab and you don’t need to worry about a piano as I bring my own Dutchgrand white baby grand piano to every wedding. This can be moved around the venue with no trouble at all, especially as Beeston Manor has a lift to get you to the upstairs wedding ceremony room. You can even have piano music outside in summer if the weather is dry. This adds a lovely ambience whilst you are having a celebratory drink after the ceremony has finished.

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

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.

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.

They are such a gorgeous couple and I was happy to arrange a mash-up of Abba songs for Charlotte’s entrance including ‘Slipping Through My Fingers,’ ‘Take a Chance on Me,’ ‘Dancing Queen,’ and ‘Chiquitita.’

Katie and Paul’s Beautiful Wedding at Mytton Fold

I was thrilled to play for Katie and Paul at Mytton Fold for their wedding.

Katie is a very special person to our family as she looks after my son at his youth group and is a wonderful, beautiful and kind lady. It was so great to see her marry her lovely partner Paul in a very touching and emotional ceremony here at Mytton Fold. I was honoured to play special songs for them on the lovely grand piano here in the ceremony room and then my piano in the bar area for the drinks reception.

After the wedding Katie said

”We can’t thank you enough Liz! You were amazing throughout and made our day so special. Lots of compliments from our family and friends on how beautifully the songs were played.”

Wow what a spectacular day for Sinead and Joseph as they celebrated becoming the new Mr and Mrs Brannan. This wedding was at Eaves Hall which is an absolutely stunning, luxurious venue, just outside Clitheroe.https://www.jamesplaces.com/eaves-hall/

Sinead found me playing at a wedding fair when she was on the lookout for an Eaves Hall Pianist.

I loved playing for their ceremony and drinks reception featuring ‘I Get To Love You’ for bridal entrance, and a special arrangement I did for Sinead of ‘Lifetime’ by Justin Bieber.

The Riverbarn is a beautiful, rustic, exclusive wedding venue close to the River Wyre in Lancashire. I’m proud to be a recommended supplier at this beautiful venue which is a stunning space to hold your wedding, with the added luxury of gorgeous accommodation within both the Manor House and the Oak Tree Cabins.

My white ‘dutchgrand’ is a lovely addition to this room which has a Bose sound system to help make a fabulous sound with the superb acoustics. It’s so nice to have a bespoke live instrumental piano version of your favourite song as you walk down the aisle.

The Wedding of The Whitesmiths at The Riverbarn

In summer 2023 I was honoured to play for Jason and Joe Whitesmith at The Riverbarn. I have known and worked with Jason for many years as he is the events manager at Knowsley Hall. Jason wanted to choose his favourite suppliers to use at his own wedding and I was pleased and proud to be able to play for him on this special moment in his life.
Jason and Joe wanted a mash up of two songs, one to represent each of them. And so I arranged a special entrance song especially for them, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ for Jason and ‘Smash into you’ by Beyoncé for Joe. I was able to use my musical proficiency to extend each part of the piece on the day, to fit in with the timing of each groom as they walked down the aisle, behind their own entourage of bridesmaids and special guests. I also played during the drinks reception, performing from my repertoire, with a mixture of songs of all styles.

A Review from The Whitesmiths after their wedding at The Riverbarn

Jason was kind enough to write me an amazing review saying

“This amazing Lady was always going to be part of our wedding day! From the moment I met Liz at Knowsley hall (where I work) and working alongside each other at numerous weddings and events she really is the best of the best! Myself and my new husband Joseph Smith can’t thank her enough for making our day the best day possible ❤️❤️ she even learnt Joseph’s aisle song (Beyoncé – Smash in to you) from scratch because she knew how much it meant to us. If you are looking for a Pianist please look no further! I am honoured to call this lady a friend she’s magical 🩷 you will forever be part of our special day and there are no words to thank you for making our wedding the best it possibly could be! Love you lots Liz 😘😘 all our love the whitesmiths ❤️❤️🏳️‍🌈”

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.

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.

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.

2023 began with the most beautiful wedding for Lancashire Pianist Liz Hendry.

Suzanna and Ewan became the new Mr and Mrs Simpson at the amazing Bartle Hall Hotel. What a beautiful winter wedding.

Suzanna has great taste and picked ‘I’m Kissing You’ as her entrance music – one of the most emotional and dramatic bridal entrance pieces!!! If you are looking for a Lancashire Pianist, Liz can set up her Dutchgrand white baby grand piano anywhere to play beautiful piano music as you walk down the aisle.

Ewan and Suzanna had a fantastic day managed by the amazing team here at Bartle Hall Hotel. https://bartlehall .co.uk/
They added some great unique touches to their wedding, the highlight being a blessing from their friend who is the Pastor at their church. There were some amazing room decorations and lots of treats and activities for the kids. This was a day filled with music, love and fun!!!

Lancashire Pianist Review

Suzanna said

“Highly Recommend. We met Liz at a wedding fair at Bartle Hall in May 2022. From the moment we heard her playing Bryan Adams as we walked into the venue we knew we wanted to speak to her and find out more. We knew that having Liz playing on our wedding day would be special and she was. Our wedding was 14/1/23 and everyone loved her and the different songs that were being played. Something for all ages. We can’t imagine what the day would have been like without Liz there.
Thank you Liz for making our day special.

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

Simply Stunning Piano Music

by admin // August 21, 2018 // Comments off

Mandy and Emily were married in a simply stunning ceremony at Ashfield House with piano music from Liz Hendry

Ashfield House is an award winning wedding venue in Standish. Live Piano Ltd are honoured to be one of the recommended providers for their weddings and we frequently attend their open evenings. This is where Mandy and Emily first met Liz Hendry and heard her piano music. It is a fantastic idea to go and see a wedding venue when it is all set up for a beautiful wedding. We find that our piano music is a great addition to the atmosphere of any wedding venue, particularly so at Ashfield house as our brides will confirm. Check out the kind words Many and Emily sent to us.

The first time we heard Liz was at a wedding open evening at Ashfield House. As we walked into the ceremony room she started playing ‘Heaven.’ It was simply stunning! We looked at each other and knew not only had we found our venue but also the person who would be playing as we walked down the aisle.
On the day she was truly amazing, and even better than we remembered. She set the atmosphere and pretty much brought a tear to everyone’s eye. If you are looking for live piano music for your ceremony, reception drinks or wedding breakfast then look no further. We cannot thank you enough Liz. You were fantastic.

A Beautiful Bartle Hall Wedding

I had the honour of being part of a beautiful wedding at multi-award winning venue, Bartle Hall, near Preston.

The beautiful Bartle Hall, award winning wedding venue

Hayley and Anthony had a lovely ceremony here followed by a full day and evening of celebrations surrounded by their family and close friends. Bartle Hall is such a versatile and stylish venue where the guests can all relax and socialise as the wedding party move around the venue for the different parts of the wedding day. The grounds looked stunning for Hayley and Anthony’s outdoor photographs taken by Kris Clarke Photography and the bar was cosy and festive, a great warm place to rest when the weather outside got a little cold.

Beautiful wedding music

It was fantastic to be able to play some really unique and unusual music choices for Mr and Mrs Fox during their ceremony.

Liz Hendry ready to play for the wedding ceremony of Mr and Mrs Fox

Beautiful bride, Hayley walked down the aisle to ‘Kissing You’ from Romeo and Juliet. What a romantic choice! I then arranged ‘The Power Of Love’ by Gabriella Alpin/ Frankie Goes to Hollywood and ‘Real Love’ by Tom Odell/ John Lennon. It’s great to listen to these beautiful modern versions of classic hits and then make my own, instrumental piano version of them to make a special performance for my brides and grooms.

I would like to thank Hayley and Anthony for having me at their wedding and wish them a very long and happy future together. Thank you to Bartle Hall and all the staff there, who look after me during every visit, and are so welcoming that I always feel part of the team!
