Romantic Piano Full Description
If you’re looking to create a vibrant atmosphere for a special event nothing beats live music.  Hiring a professional pianist adds a touch of class to any occasion and creates a delightful ambience.  Jazz, classical, modern and film music all sound equally good on the piano, so it’s ideal for clients who want to keep their guests entertained with plenty of musical variety.  Established in 1997, Romantic Piano is presented by Christopher Langdown MMus(RCM), GRSM(Hons), DipRCM(PfT), ARCM(PfP), ARCM(PG), FISM. Christopher graduated with Distinction from the renowned Royal College of Music in London and has since performed at over 2,000 events throughout the UK and abroad. Acclaimed by the Press as a “world–class” musician, he has won several awards and has broadcast for radio and TV internationally. A highly experienced musician, Christopher has provided music for celebrities and the Royal Family, and was invited to play in the Oscar–winning piano movie “Shine”. Christopher is based in the Midlands and accepts bookings throughout the UK. If your venue doesn’t have a piano available, Christopher can bring along a portable digital keyboard which sounds just like a grand piano – in fact all of the 100 audio samples on the website were recorded using this instrument, so why not listen for yourself? Alternatively, if you want something really classy for your event, Christopher can supply his digital baby grand piano. For your wedding day, Romantic Piano can create a welcoming atmosphere as the guests arrive and enhance the beauty of the wedding ceremony. It adds sparkle to the drinks reception and is wonderfully relaxing during the afternoon wedding breakfast. Christopher has over 200 reviews available online for your peace of mind.

A faultless performance

My wife and I booked Chris to play at our wedding at Swinfen Hall back in 2018 and he was faultless. I was arranging a corporate dinner at The Belfry and wanted to create a nice ambiance for our guests so contacted Chris to ask if he would play for us. Once again, a faultless performance. He is so professional, accommodating and just an all-around lovely person. I would not think twice about booking him again and would recommend him for a wide variety of occasions. Thank you again Chris

Absolutely incredible music

Chris played for our wedding at Moxhull Hall back in November 2023. The whole way through the planning process he was fantastic! It took so much stress away the fact he gave us a list of songs to choose from for different parts of the day. On the day Chris just blended in and played some absolutely incredible music. Thank you Chris for making our day even more special! Would highly recommend for anyone who is getting married!

A brilliant addition to our day

Chris played for us at our wedding at Moxhull Hall a couple of weeks ago. He played during the ceremony and then during the wedding breakfast. His communication up to the event was brilliant and he was willing to learn a new song for the brides entrance. He was brilliant on the day and took his time to come and say hello and congratulate us. Testament to who he is comes from all the positive comments people have to say about Chris! He was a brilliant addition to our day, would highly recommend

I can't recommend him enough

From the moment I first contacted Christopher I knew I’d made the right decision. It was very clear from the videos and audios how incredibly talented he is but his immediate warmth and professionalism matched his talent equally. All our correspondence during the build up to our wedding was professional, personal and filled with care and kindness. Our wedding ceremony was made even more special with Christopher playing so beautifully. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Chri

Really bought the music!

Chris was a total professional. We hired him to play for our ceremony and wedding breakfast and he added so much atmosphere and a sense of occasion. He learned 2 songs by request and played both perfectly - so pleased.

He went the extra mile for us

We had Christopher perform during our wedding breakfast, at Moor Hall Hotel in Sutton Coldfield. The whole process from meeting Chris at a wedding fair, to booking him after discussing packages, all email communications throughout and finally to the big day was all simply a pleasure and Chris' performance really made our day special. He was always available to chat and guide. We never had to chase Chris for anything. He was able to accommodate our special requests, these songs really made it special for me and my wife! Chris was professional, polite, his performance amazing. He went the extra mile for us. Thank you Chris we are so glad we chose you! :-).

Chris is so utterly talented

Chris is so utterly talented. An absolutely exceptional pianist. Chris played for our evening reception and all our guests commented how much they enjoyed the entertainment. The music completely made the ambiance for our evening and created such a relaxed atmosphere. Such a beautiful mix of music and tailored his playing to our every need. We can’t recommend Chris highly enough. Incredibly professional, friendly and talented!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every wedding has its own unique memories, but one of the most memorable experiences for me occurred when I played for the Royal Family's Director of Travel. After I had finished playing the themes from the "633 Squadron" and "Battle of Britain" films, we were all treated to a unforgettable low level aerobatic display by a Spitfire that flew in specially. I'll never forget the incredible sound and spectacle of the aircraft swooping over our heads at tree top level!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Romantic (obviously with my company name being "Romantic Piano")! - Versatile - Easy going - Friendly - Diligent

What about your business are you most proud of?

I'm quite proud of my online customer reviews, of which there are over 200. It takes a bit of time and effort for customers to add a review, so I'm always very grateful when they do. I think independent reviews can really help couples to make an informed decision when they are faced with so many options.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

A rather boring answer, but I believe that booking wedding insurance is really important for all couples who are investing hard-earned cash in their big day. If I'm allowed to sneak in a 2nd tip I would also recommend aiming to "put your feet up" and relax at least 7 days before the wedding. That way, you can just focus on enjoying the final run-up to the big day without stressing too much.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I've seen many lovely personal moments at weddings over the years, but one of the my favourites was at Kilworth House in Leicestershire. It's always a special moment when the bride arrives at the venue, but at this particular wedding the groom had specially arranged for her to be greeted by a guard of honour from the Grenadier Guards (the groom and his friends were footmen for Her Majesty the Queen). The pomp and ceremony made the wedding even more memorable and spectacular.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

The vast majority of my enquiries come through the internet and I usually have quite long email exchanges with couples answering their queries.. I do like chatting to people though, so I always encourage couples to give me a call if they prefer. They can also come and see me in action at one of the local wedding fayres.

What makes a romantic first dance?

Everyone has different musical tastes of course, so my opinion would differ from many others. I would recommend couples always choose a song that means something to them both personally. However, if there's nothing in particular that really comes to mind, tried and tested classics such as "At Last" or "When a Man Loves a Woman" would be a great choice.

What is your number one floor-filler?

The piano doesn't usually feature as part of the evening party, but if it did, I think Bruno Mars' "Marry You" would be a good song to start with.

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

Famous bands aside, I would love to go back in time and play again in my school Jazz Band. We had so much fun!

What is the soundtrack to your life?

To be honest, I love everything from Palestrina to Daft Punk, so it would be very difficult to choose.
