As your wedding piano player, I create a live soundtrack shaped around you—elegant, personal and entirely your own.
Every piece arranged by hand.
No set lists. No agency. Just music made for the room.

Composer & pianist
A quiet kind of magic
The most memorable wedding music never feels performed at you. It breathes with the room.
As guests gather, I soften the edges. As you enter, the music rises. When the champagne begins to flow, the tempo changes with it. Thirty-five years of live performance means knowing when to be heard—and when to simply make everything feel better.
Meet Jools
I learn the music you love, then play the room as it unfolds.
From first arrival to final toast
Your music is shaped as one continuous story—never a collection of disconnected sets.

The wedding breakfast
Beautiful piano sits beneath conversation, speeches and candlelight—moving from film scores to soulful ballads as the atmosphere deepens.
Full-day musicThe repertoire
Classical, jazz, film, soul and contemporary songs are woven together with instinct. If a piece matters to you, I’ll create an original piano arrangement for it.

The instrument
If your venue has a beautiful acoustic piano, wonderful. If it doesn’t, nothing is compromised.
I bring a professional stage piano and discreet amplification where required. It works beautifully in barns, marquees, gardens and rooms without an instrument—set up quietly, balanced for the space and removed without fuss.
Listen
Live piano is felt as much as heard—the resonance in the room, the timing of an entrance, the way a familiar song becomes personal.

Kind words
Jools didn’t simply play at our wedding—he gave it a soul. Every transition felt effortless, and our guests are still talking about the music.

Beyond weddings
