Melody Denham
Pianist
My husband, Dale, and I have lived in Pinellas County and served in church ministry for more than 25 years. Now that our six children are grown and building families of their own, I take great pride in enhancing beautiful moments by meaningful expression on the piano for weddings and events across the bay area. I began playing the piano at the age of 8 in classical studies. My story with music has included many styles and genres in high school, college, broadway style shows and serving as primary pianist for several churches.

put in. I wrote a proposal song for my fiancé and Melody took the time to learn it. When she performed during our ceremony she played the proposal song while my wife walked down the aisle and it was so special to us. Melody also played during our cocktail hour with a wonderful blend of classical music. Our guest kept mentioning how great she sounded! If you’re looking for a pianist who is professional and very talented then Melody should be on the top of your list. Jason and Heidi

Working with Melody was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. You can truly tell she cares about her passion and what she does--a professional through and through!
We booked...
Melody to play piano at our Dunedin ceremony in the Andrews Memorial Chapel. The chapel is a historic building with its own piano. In preparation for the day we had a call with Melody to go over all of our music choices so she could prepare arrangements but she also went to the chapel to ensure the in-house piano would be suitable. We were so grateful for her attention-to-detail. She got the contact information for our venue coordinator and officiant as well so that everyone was in lock-step.
And not to mention the music! She is so talented. The live piano was the perfect way to welcome our guests to the ceremony. She prepared a piano version of "Going to the Chapel" for our processional and "Can't Help Fallin In Love" for my walk down the aisle. Tears everywhere!
We couldn't have asked for a better thought partner and musician as we planned what our special day would look like. If you're looking for someone to take your wedding to the next level, Melody is certainly it! I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Melody!

I know your future together will be remarkable. I thank you for your very kind words, and I actually had a great time building a set list from the 30's & 40's music. Those tunes will be a permanent addition to the tunes I offer other couples. Blessings! Melody
