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.

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.

A Pianist at Colshaw Hall

by admin // January 1, 2026 // Comments off

Liz has played for many years at Colshaw Hall in Cheshire and it is always a pleasure to be there in such beautiful surroundings. There is a piano in the ceremony room for Liz to play the special song that you have chosen to walk down the aisle. It’s such a wonderful experience to be a pianist at Colshaw Hall as it is such a prestigious Cheshire Venue.

Anna and Hayden had a truly amazing wedding at the breathtaking Colshaw Hall Cheshire, where the sunshine took them by surprise to make this day even more perfect.

Wyresdale Park Pianist Review from Amy and Matthew

We met Liz at an open day at Wyresdale Park and the moment we heard her play, I became emotional and knew I had to book her to play me down the aisle.

It just elevated the atmosphere having someone play songs that meant something to us and our families instead of just playing music from a speaker.

She was amazing, friendly and nothing was too much for her.

I would highly recommend Liz to play at any wedding. She was so friendly, approachable and looked genuinely happy to be there. She wasn’t familiar with our exit song but she took the time to learn it for us so we could have the song we wanted which was lovely of her to do

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

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.

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.

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”

The Riverbarn

by admin // January 22, 2024 // Comments off

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.

I am very lucky to have played at The Riverbarn many times and was especially pleased to play for some close friends of the owners, who were the first couple to get married there after its amazing refurbishment and reinvention in 2022.

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 Mere Court

by admin // September 26, 2023 // Comments off

I am delighted to be one of the recommended suppliers at the Mere Court Hotel near Knutsford. I can often be found playing the piano at the regular open evenings or wedding fairs. Both myself and my husband Mark the Piano Guy https://www.thepianoguy.co.uk love playing at The Mere Court as it is a very versatile welcoming and pretty wedding venue in Cheshire. https://www.merecourt.co.uk

Liz Hendry Wedding Pianist at The Mere Court

Using a Piano at The Mere Court

When booking a pianist at The Mere Court, there are several areas available for your wedding ceremony and my piano can be set up in any of them. I always work with a ‘Dutch grand’ electric white baby grand piano which is portable and can be moved around the venue as necessary. Moving the piano takes about 10 minutes. Couples often book me for their ceremony and drinks reception, or their ceremony and wedding breakfast, or some book me for the whole of their daytime. I am keen to help take the stress out of choosing ceremony music, by offering a FaceTime consultation to give advice and play examples for my clients.

Music for the drinks reception adds a lovely, classy ambience during photographs and mingling, and music throughout the wedding breakfast adds a beautiful soundtrack to the meal, adding background music without dominating too much.

The Conservatory

The conservatory is a beautiful light room that is often used for larger weddings ceremonies and is used for most wedding breakfasts. I can set up anywhere within this room.

The Arboreum

Another popular ceremony location at the Mere Court is the Arboreum which is a lovely room for up to 80 guests. I have played for many ceremonies using my Dutch Grand in the Arboreum but if you are close to capacity on your numbers I can also use a white piano on a stand which takes up much less room.

Smaller Piano in The Arboreum at The Mere Court

The Dunkerley

This recently refurbished room has a lovely contemporary look and can hold up to 100 guests. It is a great setting for exchanging your vows.

Mere Court Pianist Liz Hendry in The Dunkerley

Outside in the Gardens

In the summer months, when the weather is fine, a beautiful option is to get married in the gardens at The Mere Court. The grounds are truly amazing for an unforgettable wedding ceremony. I am able to set up and play for your wedding outside as long as it is dry.

I have also played for drinks receptions outside at The Mere Court on dry days. If the weather is changeable and guest are popping in and out of the bar area, I can set up in the bar with the windows and door open, so that the music can be heard all around.

Feedback from recent weddings at The Mere Court

Amy and Josh Healey

I was delighted to play for the wedding of Amy and Josh Healey.

Liz Hendry Wedding Pianist with Mr and Mrs Healey

They got married in the Dunkerley and had a lovely wedding breakfast in the Conservatory. Song choices included Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley) Pointless (Lewis Capaldi) Perfect (Ed Sheeran) Marry You (Bruno Mars) and The Climb (Miley Cyrus.)

Amy was kind enough to leave me a google review saying, “Liz played for our ceremony and wedding breakfast on Sunday and well she was absolutely amazing! Blended in so well and the music was just lovely. Such a lovely lady was a pleasure to have her at our special day. Would recommend her to everyone! Xx“

Mr and Mrs Brooman were married recently in a stunning outside ceremony, and I was delighted to play for them all day, for the outside ceremony, outside drinks reception, and the delicious wedding breakfast in the conservatory.

Song choices included A Thousand Years (Christina Perri) Heaven (DJ Sammy) and Symphony (Clean Bandit.) Michelle was kind enough to give feedback on my Facebook page, saying “Thank you so much Liz for playing at our wedding. You was absolutely amazing and everyone commented on what a special touch you was to our wedding day. I couldn’t recommend you enough to anyone.”

Alesha and Rob McMahon

It was lovely to play for Alesha and Rob in the Mere court bar area for the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast in the conservatory.

Mr and Mrs McMahon asked for a wide selection of music during their wedding breakfast. I included Sky Full of Stars (Coldplay) Wings (Birdy) Wildest Dreams (Taylor Swift) and One Day Like This (Elbow) Alesha wrote a recommendation on my Facebook page saying, “After seeing Liz at a wedding fair we knew that she would be a wonderful addition to our wedding day. Liz Played during our drinks reception and wedding breakfast and lots of our family and friends passed on how much Liz added to the atmosphere. Thanks so much Liz xx” For more of my reviews visit https://www.lizhendry.co.uk/category/reviews/

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!

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

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.

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.

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!!!

“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

Mottram Hall Wedding

by admin // October 1, 2021 // Comments off

Amy and Ben Birch chose Liz Hendry to play the piano during their Mottram Hall Wedding in the summer. It was a wonderful family occasion and this couple had an amazing day.

Mottram Hall Wedding 197 — Photography by Lee Brown

Why did you book Liz for your Mottram Hall Wedding?

We visited Mottram Hall on an open day and as soon as we walked in, we noticed a romantic atmosphere and it was the live piano music that made everything feel magical. Liz was warm, welcoming, friendly and asked us if there was a particular song we wished to listen to. We asked for ‘perfect’ by Ed Sheeran and out of nowhere, she started playing it and it was truly amazing! We asked her to check her diary for us straight away!!!

What effect did she have on your wedding day?

Every single guest commented on how beautiful it was during the wedding reception and wedding breakfast. It was brilliant and really helped the day to feel magical.

How Professional was she?

Absolutely faultless!!!! Amazing from initial meeting until leaving us on the day.

Would you recommend her to others?

Absolutely! We have already been asked by one of our friends (who is due to marry next year) so we of course gave her your details/website straight away!!!

Additional comments

Having you play at our wedding was just an amazing part of the day and we would not change a single thing about it! When we asked you to play “Only Fools and Horses” as our entrance song, you were so flexible. We can safely say that listening to it being played for the first time, when we walked in the room, just made the moment feel so much more special and we have it captured on video to remember forever. Every single note was played to perfection and it added a little bit of character and personalisation to our day. We can’t thank you enough for everything you did from start to finish. When we initially had to postpone our wedding, due to the pandemic, you fitted in with our new date straight away and allowed us to few relaxed about everything.

Keep being yourself Liz – you’re truly a very talented pianist with a heart of gold and there will be so many more couples (both before and after us) who will feel the same way as us – truly blessed and lucky to have had to opportunity to incorporate your happiness, smiles and wonderful talent into the best day of our life!

Mr and Mrs Shaw looked for a wedding pianist for their Cheshire wedding at Delamere Manor

Check out this review by Mrs Shaw, the beautiful bride from this Cheshire wedding at Delamere Manor. This was another wonderful wedding and it featured a beautiful outdoor ceremony. You will see from the pictures below Liz performed outside, made possible by the beautiful, white Dutchgrand that it so integral to her look.

We were lucky enough to book you for our wedding in April and we are so glad we did! You were amazing and totally exceeded our expectations! You made our ceremony so special. The wedding breakfast was so relaxed with you playing, all of our guests commented on how amazing it was! Not only that, but you are a lovely lady who has been a pleasure to deal with right from the start! Thanks Liz, for adding that perfect touch to our big day! xxx

Jessica and John were married at the beautiful Sandhole Oak Barn in Cheshire with bespoke piano music from Liz Hendry who they highly recommend!

Sandhole Oak Barn is a another fantastic cheshire wedding venue. This is particularly nice because they have a lovely, well maintained grand piano in the ceremony room. However, to give the bride and groom flexibility to hold their wedding drinks reception outside by the water, Liz was happy to set up the Dutchgrand white baby grand piano under the pergola by the water. See how they recommend her in their kind review.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you again to Liz for playing at our wedding. We cannot recommend Liz enough. She is so lovely and right from the beginning we knew she would make our day extra special. She has such a wide repertoire and was accommodating to all our requests for the day. Her playing is absolutely stunning and it just added that extra special sparkle to our day. We had so so many comments from our guests about how good she was – one guest even said they wanted to take her home with her!! We would 100% recommend her for any weddings/special occasions.
Thank you again Liz – it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Liz Hendry and all at The Live Piano Experience wish Mr & Mrs Murphy a life time of happiness and prosperity.

Simply Stunning Piano Music

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.

Stunning Brides – Emily and Mandy. Just married.

A Beautiful Bartle Hall Wedding

by admin // December 27, 2016 // Comments off

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.

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!
