Wyresdale Weddings Pianist – 11 Amazing Weddings!


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.

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!!

Wyresdale Weddings Pianist – Amy and Matthew

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.

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.

Wedding Pianist Reviews 39


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!

Wedding Pianist Reviews 41

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

Wedding Pianist Reviews 43

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 😀👍🏻

Wedding Pianist Reviews 45

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 🫶

Wedding Pianist Reviews 47


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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Riverbarn

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.

Inside the Riverbarn

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.

The Riverbarn 65


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

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
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.

Piano at The Mere Court in The Conservatory

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.

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.

“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!!”

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.

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”

Simply The Best – Bartle Hall Pianist

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

Nunsmere Hall Pianist

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.



What a pleasure to work with The Tall Toastmaster who I would definitely recommend for your wedding!! Very organised and great fun! http://www.thetalltoastmaster.co.uk
It was also lovely to work with

Wedding pianist in Cheshire

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

We recommend Liz 100% for weddings

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.

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.

Beautiful wedding

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 wedding

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.

Beautiful wedding

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!

Beautiful wedding
