A programme around conversation
- Welcome drinks: an inviting musical start.
- Cocktail reception: jazz, pop and bossa nova at an agreed volume.
- Dinner: carefully timed sets and breaks around service and speeches.
WERMUTH SHOW / Reception & dinner
Piano music for receptions & dinners.
A reception and a dinner each have their own rhythm. Live piano or Piano & Sax can create a warm setting while your guests arrive, talk and enjoy the evening.
Plan music for your reception
Reception & dinner / LIVE MUSICListen to the room
The room layout, acoustics and distance between guests and performers matter as much as the song list. Share a few details about the venue so we can plan placement, sound and the right musical balance.
Plan the music into the room
The positions of musicians, tables and speakers shape the sound. A room plan helps keep service routes clear and distances comfortable. An existing piano needs to be suitable; power and any further amplification are agreed in advance.

Don’t imagine. Listen.
Two real recordings with Juri Wermuth on piano. Best enjoyed with headphones.
Good to know
Will guests be able to talk over the music?
Conversation is part of the reception and dinner concept. Volume, repertoire and placement are planned around your room, with amplification and distances discussed with the venue.
How do piano and Piano & Sax differ for dinner?
Solo piano creates an intimate setting. The duo adds the expressive voice of saxophone and an instrumental dialogue. Room, audience and the presence you want help determine the choice.
What suits welcome drinks?
Jazz standards, bossa nova and familiar pop melodies are possible starting points. Programme examples include The Girl from Ipanema, Moon River and Fly Me to the Moon.
How do you coordinate with the service team?
We discuss arrivals, courses, speeches and musical sets with the responsible person. Breaks can leave room for service and important announcements.
Where should the musicians be placed?
Where guest and service routes remain clear and the sound reaches the tables comfortably. A room plan or photographs help us discuss placement, power and amplification.
What happens between live sets?
Sets and breaks are agreed explicitly. If you want background music in the breaks, we discuss how it will be arranged with you and the venue in advance.
