Hire me to be your wedding pianist.

I'm Austin Farwell — my music has soundtracked millions of first dances, proposals, and wedding reels. I take a limited number of Southern California weddings each month: your ceremony and first dance played live, or an original piece composed just for your day.

Questions, answered.

How much does it cost to hire Austin Farwell for a wedding?

Live wedding performances start at $2,000, and rates scale with how long you'd like Austin to play — from a ceremony-only set to a full day of ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. A custom-composition add-on is also available. Every inquiry gets an exact quote within 48 hours based on what you have in mind. Austin takes a limited number of weddings each month.

What areas does Austin serve?

Austin is based on the Westside of Los Angeles and performs across Southern California — Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Malibu, Orange County, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, and San Diego. Select regional and destination travel is available on request.

Can Austin write a custom song for our wedding?

Yes — the custom composition is his most-requested offering. Austin writes an original piano piece from your story, premieres it live at your ceremony or first dance, and officially releases it on Spotify and Apple Music under your names. Your song, streamable forever.

Will Austin play our favorite songs or a specific first-dance piece?

Absolutely. Austin performs his own pieces as well as custom arrangements of the songs that matter to you — including your first dance, processional, and any requests that make the day yours.

How do we book, and how far in advance?

Send an inquiry through the form above with your date and venue. Because Austin accepts only a few weddings a month, popular dates book early — reaching out as soon as you have a date secures your spot. A signed agreement and deposit hold the date.

Opening your email — your inquiry is drafted and ready to send. ♪
