About

Play It Again, Pam, is a wedding and event entertainment service operating out of Edmonton, Alberta. I am a live pianist who is passionate about providing soaring and evocative scores for weddings and special events. With over 30 years of experience playing for weddings, I am well equipped to provide the soundtrack for your big day!

Services Offered

Each of my wedding packages features unlimited consultations, in-person, by email, or by phone. With music being one of the most important elements of your milestone celebration, I want to ensure that your music strikes the right chord. On my website, you can view my extensive instrumental music repertoire, covering virtually every genre of music, hear sound samples, check out my blogs and FAQ page, and read testimonials. An in-person meeting will allow you to hear more music selections, if you prefer. My basic wedding package includes prelude and postlude music, and all the music for your ceremony. Your package can be upgraded to include an hour of cocktail party music, and/or an hour of dinner entertainment. If you elect to forgo having a dance, my live music can keep the party going!

If your venue doesn't have a piano I can bring my keyboard and amplifier at no extra charge. Many of my clients who have need of it often elect to add my grand piano shell to hold it. It looks like the real thing and fools people every time! It adds elegance to any space. With that, I include a beautiful candle arrangement to place upon it, embellished with flowers etc., to compliment the colour/theme of your wedding.You can see information and photos of my shell on my website, and photos and videos of it in action on my Facebook page. I have also made some improvements to my shell, with more photos to come!

If access to electricity is an issue, I have off-grid capability, allowing me to play outdoors.

Have a song(s) request not found on my repertoire page? Run it by me, I will make every effort to include it---I aim to please! I go the extra mile for my clients and my work ethic is second to none, as my testimonials will attest.

I also have decades of experience accompanying singers and instrumentalists, and will play with any soloist of your choosing, or provide you with one, should you need a recommendation for one.

I would be honoured and thrilled at the prospect of being part of your loving celebration!

Great wedding choice!

Pam was very helpful throughout the entire process of having her play at our wedding. All of our guests were amazed by her talent and mobile grand piano shell. She played elegant music throughout our wedding and during cocktail hour. Would highly recommend her services!

Pamela  Johnson
Pamela Johnson
Pianist

Hi everyone! I've been playing for weddings for over 30 years and I've got the best job in the world!

While I enjoy accompanying singers and instrumentalists, I love performing as a soloist, as it fits in with my strong work ethic, bordering on my neurotic tendency to aim for perfection. The high personal standard I set for myself makes me a good team player with you, event planners and ceremony officiants, working together so there are no hiccups on your day.

I have a Bachelor of Education, majoring in secondary music, and a Diploma in Piano Pedagogy from Conservatory Canada, from which I was awarded the National Medal of Excellence.

In my "spare" time, I enjoy time with my family, reading, going for walks, doing crossword and jigsaw puzzles, travel and playing the piano. On our annual extended winter trips to Hawaii, I even bring a keyboard with me so I can keep practicing. I think I may have a problem....

If you think we might be a good fit, please don't hesitate to contact me. There's absolutely no obligation. I'm here to listen and to help where I can.

Congratulations on your engagement and I wish you both every happiness!
