Today’s guest is Bhav, a wedding pianist with a twist, he can’t read sheet music. In this behind-the-scenes chat with Ricki from Behind the Proposal and Before the Aisle, we dive into what it’s like to hire a live musician for your Wedding Day who plays entirely by ear. From learning couples’ favourite songs in record time to improvising on the spot, Bhav shares how he turns raw passion and instinct into unforgettable wedding moments.
