A distinctive live experience that consistently exceeds expectations, with PianoFactor delivering polished, unforgettable entertainment at weddings, corporate events, private parties and celebrations
Watch the video to see Duelling Pianos, our flagship Act, live in action.
Years of real-world live entertainment experience, combined with natural musical instinct, allow PianoFactor to guide every event with calm professional confidence.
Every performance begins by reading the crowd - understanding the mood of the room and choosing the right songs to connect with people straight away. From the first few minutes the entertainer is watching how the audience responds, building rapport and creating an atmosphere where people feel comfortable getting involved.
Once the connection is established, the entertainer takes the lead - guiding the audience through well-known songs, taking requests and creating moments that bring everybody together. The music can move from big sing-along favourites to upbeat dance-floor classics, continually adapting to the energy in the room.
By now the whole room is involved. Requests continue to come in, guests are singing along, and the event becomes a lively shared experience. What began as a performance now feels like something everyone in the room is part of - an unforgettable experience led by talented professionals with years of live entertainment experience.
Every PianoFactor booking includes everything needed to deliver a high-impact, fully interactive live piano show — led by experienced professionals and tailored to your event.
The result is a complete, self-contained PianoFactor package for your UK event — personal, energetic, authentic and ready to slot straight into your venue.

Absolutely!
We take song requests throughout the night, and they’re a big part of what makes our shows interactive and fun.
While we don’t use a fixed setlist, the flow of the evening is always directed by our entertainers - reading the room, choosing the right moments, and mixing requests with big anthems and dance-floor classics to keep the energy high.
If there’s a special song you’d like in advance (first dance, walk-on, celebration moment), we’ll happily prepare it for you.

We arrive early and take care of all setup and sound-check requirements.
The following is included as standard:
Sound and lighting is generally not provided for events in London — see Do you perform in London? below.
We control the volume carefully and can perform at anything from full party energy to a more intimate acoustic-style level.
Note: For events with strict volume limits or very small rooms, we can use an electronic drum kit to significantly reduce overall sound levels. We don’t typically use this setup — as the full acoustic kit sounds best — but it’s a great option when venues require lower volume.
Our standard performance is 3 × 45 minutes (135 minutes total), but we can adapt this to suit your schedule.
Breaks are kept upbeat with high-energy music to keep guests dancing and maintain the atmosphere.
If you'd prefer us to play a specific playlist during the breaks, just let us know.
Duelling Pianos: minimum 5.0m × 2.5m
Party Piano Band: minimum 3.5m × 2.5m
Pop-Up Piano Bar: minimum 2.0m × 2.0m
