Standards and covers
A pianist for cocktails, dinners and galas.
When you walk into an event and someone at the piano is playing All of Me, you can tell that somebody put real thought into it. A solo pianist can play from the time your guests arrive through cocktails and dinner.
It’s a lovely choice when you want something polished that still leaves your guests free to talk.
We’ll work with you on the music, from the song list to what the pianist wears. Here’s how booking through Signet works.

Your options
A solo pianist, with a singer if you’d like one.
- The piano
- When the venue has a piano, the pianist plays it, and a hotel lobby or a club dining space usually has one. If it doesn’t, we’ll bring a stage piano (a portable electric piano), and from the tables it sounds a lot like an acoustic piano.
- With a singer
- On its own, the piano is instrumental, and that’s what most people choose for a client dinner or a gala. If you’d like some singing, we can add a singer for a set or for the whole event.
For a bigger crowd, we can bring a jazz duo for the same hours. Want people dancing after dinner? We can have a band or our DJ take over, and it can all stay on the same contract.
Occasions
Perfect booking for
- Client dinners and member events
- A pianist is a lovely fit for a client dinner in a private dining space or a club, where the conversation is what matters most.
- Galas and award nights
- A pianist can play as guests arrive and through dinner, right up until the program starts. Planning a smaller gala? A pianist can be the entertainment for the whole event, and you can find more gala entertainment ideas on our blog.
- The low-key company dinner
- A pianist is a great pick for a holiday party that’s more of a dinner than a dance, or a January office party after the December rush.
- Sunday brunch
- We can bring a pianist to a jazz brunch at your club, hotel or restaurant, playing standards from start to finish.
- Memorial services
- A pianist can play a prelude as people arrive, along with the songs your family chooses.
- Senior living
- We can set up a regular afternoon at your community, with songs from the Great American Songbook that your residents know and love.
- Dinner parties at home
- If you have a piano at home, a pianist is a lovely way to make a dinner party feel special.
