About

Based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, Daniel Bell - Wedding Pianist can bring the magic touch of live music to your big day.

I am pleased to offer a bespoke piano demo of any piece of your choice, delivered within 24 hours upon request.

I'm Dan - a performance pianist with a strong classical foundation, having achieved Grade 8 distinction through ABRSM and reaching the finals of the British Schools' Music for Youth competition.

I have a further 15 years of performance experience across the UK and China.

My playing style is both intricate and distinctive, seamlessly blending elements of classical, pop, folk, and blues.

I take time to understand what each client hopes to feel and remember, and I shape every performance to reflect that.

Whether you're looking for something soft and intimate or bold and cinematic, the result is always personal, thoughtful, and entirely yours to cherish forever.

The perfect wedding music

Dan was so brilliant throughout our engagement and wedding. He listened to all of our requests and met our needs perfectly. He was super flexible with the music we wanted to play and generic instructions e.g. play a 10 minute medley. He was also able to suggest songs to add in e.g. canon in D with pop songs woven through it. For our walk-out music, we asked Dan to learn a song we liked and play it in a certain way and starting from a certain point. We asked him to loop the verse to one of the songs continuously until the bride entered and then he knew that was his cue to play the chorus. His musical talent was clear to everyone and I am so pleased we asked Dan to do our music. I would tell all of my friends to use him.

Sensational

Dan was so professional, he responded promptly and even had a video call to run through everything we wanted. Dan knows all the wedding classics and was able to learn some special requests (whatever we asked for).
He played beautifully in the church and at the venue during drinks and canapés. So many people commented how incredible he is.

I couldn’t recommend Dan enough!

The Perfect Musician for our Wedding Day

We hired Dan to play piano at our wedding, and he truly exceeded our expectations! His performances during the reception drinks provided wonderful entertainment for our guests, setting the perfect atmosphere before the wedding breakfast. Dan was incredibly easy to communicate with and encouraged our song suggestions, transforming them into beautiful acoustic piano renditions. I can't recommend Dan highly enough—he was an absolute highlight of our special day.

Just fabulous.

Dan played piano in the church for us on our wedding day. He created a tailor made list of songs/melodies to play. He even learned a Taylor swift medley, which was a must for my wife. I can tell that performing on the piano is a genuine passion for him, and it shows in his playing and attitude. What a lovely bloke, I cannot recommend him enough.
