Basic Pricing Ranges
There are quite a few options for Ceremonies and Cocktails, and depending on the need of the client, we can provide services at different price points.
Ceremony for solo piano pricing ranges from $250-$500 but most couples tend to come in at around $250-400 for solo piano.

The pricing for StLouisPianist services are very affordable and come in on the low end of the range suggested by sites like “costhelper” –http://weddings.costhelper.com/wedding-music.html
My music is performed at a very high level of excellence, and I provide a unique combination of services for ceremonies, cocktails, and receptions. My prices are affordable considering the value that I bring as a professional and as an artist to one of the most critical moments of your life.
While Event pricing covers the time played, Ceremony Pricing factors in preparation and coordination leading up to it, including consultation with clients, event coordinators and venues, song selection and practice time.
A professional with a lot of wedding experience will be sure to factor this into their pricing to make sure that you are getting the attention you need for the most important day of your life. Those who do not factor this in may come in at a much lower cost, but this reveals that they do not have the experience to make the distinction between what is involved with weddings vs. events.
A professional wedding vendor (in any whether photographer, coordinator, officiant or musician) who has many weddings a month is fielding and promptly responding to numerous communications from couples and other vendors while preparing and successfully executing multiple events. A professional and experienced vendor will price to ensure that this can be their main focus.
