Jon Pickard Wedding Musician
Guitar & Piano Wedding Musician for Ceremonies, Receptions & Events
I have been a wedding musician for over 25 years and have dedicated my life to making people happy through music. From an early age, I had a gift for communicating and moving people with music. You want someone who is passionate about your wedding music – decades of hard work, experience and devotion prove my dedication and have honed my skills. Holding a First Class BA in Classical Guitar with Jazz Piano, I have several decades of continuous work as a professional wedding musician under my belt. Music is my life and I absolutely love my work.
My musical journey began in early childhood, I was born into a musical family and had access to a nice piano since before I could reach the keys – my mother was a fine Classical Pianist. Quickly advancing through the grades, by 16 I was performing classical and pop music in local hotels and restaurants. This early start laid the foundation for a career that has spanned many musical styles and settings.
As a professional musician, I have worked as a session keyboard and piano player for numerous bands and studios, and I studied Classical Guitar and Jazz Piano at Bath Spa University, graduating with a First Class BA, hons. This broad experience made me a sought-after wedding musician and performer for weddings, parties, corporate events, and more. Whether on piano or guitar, my performances seem to move people emotionally, capturing the musical mood and creating the emotional impact that can only happen when music is played live, with skill, heart and pure intention.
Wedding soloist, reading the mood.
What sets me apart is my rare ability to read and reflect the energy in a room during a performance. Such a skill is essential for creating the perfect atmosphere at any event. I understand how to tailor my music to suit the mood and vibe of the moment, ensuring that every note resonates with the audience. The intuitive connection with my listeners is what my clients say makes my performances truly unforgettable.
My repertoire spans a wide range of styles, including Classical, Spanish guitar, jazz standards, and well-known pop tunes arranged for solo guitar. This diversity allows me to cater to the unique preferences of each client, creating a personalized musical experience that enhances their special day.
For brides, grooms, and event planners looking for a musician who can deliver a magical and memorable performance, I believe I am the perfect choice. A lifetime of dedication to music, combined with my experience and professional ethic, ensures that your event will be elevated by the very special power of top quality live music.
