Do You Need to Perform Close to a Power Outlet?
This is not something I am asked regularly by couples, however is important to understand how flexible I can be with my piano setup. The short answer is no - I’m fully self-contained! Thanks to my portable battery pack, I can power all my equipment for hours on end without ever needing to plug into a wall.
In fact, during a recent performance, a guest approached me curious about how I was powering my piano and speaker setup. They couldn’t spot any plug sockets nearby, and it turns out they worked in the AV industry. Naturally, they were intrigued! I explained that I rely on a high-capacity portable battery pack, which powers my entire setup - piano and speakers - for over 12 hours. That’s more than enough to cover even the longest wedding performances or outdoor events!
Why This Matters for Performances
Having the freedom to perform without worrying about where to plug in gives me incredible flexibility. This is especially beneficial for outdoor performances, where power can sometimes be a big issue. Whether it’s a beautiful garden ceremony or a scenic lakeside venue, I can set up my equipment wherever I need to. There’s no need to be tethered to a specific spot just because it’s close to an outlet. This mobility also allows me to adapt quickly if there are late changes to plans, or if the best performance space happens to be far from any power source.
Perfect for Historical Venues with limited power options
But it’s not just outdoor venues that benefit from this setup - historical indoor venues can present their own challenges. Many old buildings, especially ones with historical significance, lack ample power points. If they do have them, they’re often placed in inconvenient or hard-to-reach spots. Not only does this make it difficult to find a good setup for my equipment, but the last thing anyone wants to see is a tangled mess of wires snaking across the room. My battery pack allows me to avoid this entirely, keeping the setup sleek, clean, and professional.
Flexibility and Convenience
Having my battery pack with me at all times means I don’t have to stress about where I should set up. It gives me full flexibility, allowing me to choose the best location for the music without compromising on sound quality or aesthetics. This makes a huge difference when working with event planners or couples who have a specific vision for their day. No matter the venue, whether indoors or outdoors, I can easily integrate into the space and perform without any hassle.
