Vanessa Alliband: Wedding Pianist

Truly, I love these books. My daughter reads Usborne's print of 'Aesop's Stories' almost daily. If you are thinking of beginning a new adventure, please watch the following video:

So very moved by this testimonial! 😊
''Over the last three years Hartshill and Harpfields Occasions (HAHO), a community group in Stoke on Trent, has engaged the services of Vanessa Alliband for numerous events. These have included playing the piano in the Minton Community Centre at Christmas parties, Christmas Fairs and Antiques Fairs, and playing keyboards at Hartshill International days and Hartshill Midsummer Fairs at North Staffordshire Medical Institute.
As a result we h...ave come to know Vanessa and her abilities very well. As a performer, she has fitted extremely well within our brief, and has provided excellent musical background and accompaniment at our events. Vanessa is also an absolute model professional in her working relationships. She is reliable, punctual, trustworthy, very responsive to communications, very co-operative and obliging, and has a wide repertoire to draw upon; she also has a very pleasant and engaging personality.
In short, we know that when we seek to employ Vanessa we will be getting an extremely good professional performance, very good communication, and excellent demeanour in all regards. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a pianist / keyboard player (and I believe she plays other instruments), whether at a community event, or family celebrations, such as birthdays, weddings and christenings.''
- Professor Joe Andrew Chair of HAHO

Here we go again! 😀 #midsummerfair #eventspianist #serenading #gathering

Just taking this spare moment to apologise for any delay in response lately, whether that be by text or Facebook. Not only are we expecting our first child but we are also in the process of moving house, so your patience is greatly appreciated during this busy time! 😊

I can't explain what a grand piano does for my soul. This particular one, I have been fortunate enough to tinkle a few times now but it always stuns me when I get the chance to play it again. What a beautiful day and what an amazing venue for a 70th birthday. Feeling very peaceful right now! 😊

The summer is almost upon us! I don't know about you, but I have been on count down.
I am still taking bookings for Summer events so if you have something in mind that could use the soft touch of a little background music, please do pop me a message, or tag somebody who you think would benefit so that they can see this too. 😊
Happy Monday, world. We can do this.

What a beautiful day to be a part of an international fundraiser for refugees. In the words of the Lord Mayor; 'celebrating the diversity of Britain'.

Lovely to be with HAHO again today to play some background music at an antiques fair 😊 I think equally as lovely to see how much Spring has sprung!

Playing to this view 😊 Happy snowy Sunday! #quiettime #hillsong #beautifulname #coffeandpiano #theteawasntstrongenoughtoday

Happy #mothersday to all the lovely, inspiring women out there. Woman who make something amazing happen every day.

It's that time of year again! 😀 #christmasevent #pianist #tistheseason #carols

Hello, friends!
I am now home from the most beautiful holiday and spending this Monday getting my life and business back into some kind of order. ;-) Feeling very refreshed though, and ready to tackle things again! It's a good thing I love my job! If you could take a second to like and even share this page, that would really help me to keep more people informed about what it is that I do! So that has been a little update from me. How is your Monday to-do-list coming along?

Today, I played at my first outdoor wedding! Here is a little clip of me having a sneaky play before the guests started to arrive. I would love to do this again! Being outdoors is so peaceful. #outdoorwedding #summer #weddingpianist

This was my morning today! Playing piano and making lots of new friends. It's great to feel part of a community and that's exactly what these events achieve. I feel very happy that I get to do this.

I'm starting to put plans together for the Summer time! If anybody else needs some background music for their wedding day, please think of me. I'm looking forward to playing at some great events over the next few weeks already. If you can think of anybody who this might apply to, please share this status with them so we can communicate with each other. :-) I'll be posting more information about plans for piano lessons over the summer shortly.

Vanessa played at our wedding and it was truly beautiful. There were a few tears in the house -good tears of course! We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Vanessa kindly agreed to play at our wedding! She played my most favourite piece of music River Flows in You by Yiruma as I walked down the aisle. It was beyond perfect and created such a special moment for my husband and I - I would thoroughly recommend her for any function you have! And she's also a really lovely lady too �
