Brian Clemens is an international pianist/arranger/bandleader providing live music for weddings throughout Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the wider DMV area.

From elegant solo piano for a ceremony or cocktail hour to piano and vocals, jazz trios, quartets, and larger reception bands, each performance can be tailored to the style and atmosphere of the wedding. Repertoire includes jazz, swing, Great American Songbook, Latin and Bossa Nova, R&B, Motown, pop, Broadway, and contemporary favorites, with special song requests welcomed.

Brian’s background includes work as resident pianist at The Ritz London and performances at leading luxury venues including The Savoy, The Dorchester, Harrods, and private events for clients including Sotheby’s. He has also led touring jazz and big band projects throughout the UK and Europe.

Couples can expect clear communication, thoughtful musical planning, and a professional setup from the first conversation through the wedding day. Whether the goal is refined background music, a romantic ceremony, or a more energetic reception performance, the music is shaped around the event rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all package.
