"David played at our wedding on 16.10.21 at Dumbleton Hall. From booking to the day of the wedding the service David provided was fantastic. He is such a friendly polite and pleasant man. The only disappointing thing for us as the Bride and Groom is being pulled from left to right so we didn’t get to listen to all the music he played !!! He is truly a brilliant pianist. David played the songs we requested and some of his own. We highly recommend David. Photos follow once received from the photographer 😃 🎹"

"Dear Mark, Thank You so much for playing for the wedding couple on 22nd of July 2017. The piano came to life in your hands and it was almost as if the people in the paintings were going to step out and dance. The atmosphere you created was Magical. We Definitely Highly Recommend your services, and you were in contact with all the Guests and made them feel part of the whole day. We will Definitely be calling you in future. Best Wishes, Susan Gibson."

Thank you for a lovely day on Saturday Sue. You and your team were very welcoming and made my job so much easier - and the Steinway piano, what can I say, fantastic! Such a brilliant location to get married in, I can thoroughly recommend New Walk Museum and Art Gallery in Leicester. I'm very much looking forward to working with you again in the future.

"Working with Gareth for the second time was even more of a pleasure than the first. He played for our morning service at St Matthew's Surbiton and was totally professional and reliable, with an exuberance to his playing that really livened up the service! He has a fluency and apparent ease at the instrument which would be the envy of many a church organist. He coped expertly with a tricky organ part in a piece of my own which I can't play myself! As always Gareth was meticulously prepared, and is a joy to make music with. I look forward to working with him again in a few weeks' time."

"We wanted some background music for our daughters Christening reception, having heard Mark play before, we knew he was what we was looking for. He was fantastic and really completed the mood, an amazingly talented very friendly man. Thank you Mark."

"A fantastic guy and a fantastic musician, playing smooth, easy listening and infectious music for all and any occasion - I have had the privilege to play bass with Des at a variety of functions over the years and he never fails to captivate the audience with his unique style. If you need a truly professional but relaxed musician for any event, indoor or outdoor, Des is your man!"

"We needed an organist to play at our wedding at fairly short notice at our wedding in Northamptonshire. Anthony was fantastic and even learned what was a relatively obscure piece that we had wanted to be played as my wife entered the church with her father. He played our other hymns beautifully and then played Widor's Toccata as we left the church. Anthony was a pleasure to deal with in the lead-up to the wedding - he was responsive, flexible, helpful and made great suggestions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Anthony, and indeed my wife's sister has now asked if Anthony is free to play at her wedding as well."

"Gareth played for both our wedding service at the Church and then the reception. He took so much time consulting with us about suitable hymns and entry and exit music. We really enjoyed the 'Ave Maria' and Pachelbel Canon during the registers and felt like royalty when we went out to he Widor Toccata !! How you managed then to shift gear and be playing all those jazz standards on the grand piano at the hotel amazed everyone. You are an inspired musician and a lovely guy - thank you. Marc n Jo"

"Mark came along exactly as we had arranged and greeted me and everyone else warmly. He played all the music that I had arranged for him to play and kept it at a reasonable noise level as I wanted everyone to be able to talk as well as listening to his wonderful playing. I would not hesitate in hiring him again if I needed someone. He is a lovely man to talk to and I hope he puts up the pictures that I send him as one is a video and it is his music you can hear."

"Gareth thank you for your stunning playing at our wedding last month. We were so lucky to find you at short notice and really appreciate the time, care and calming humour you brought to us in our planning coffee. Gareth Giles is a truly lovely man to work with and made all our musical dreams come true with apt suggestions and help with the detailing of the order of service. His playing is pure genius and any couples reading this looking for a highly talented, experienced church musician who also happens to be a lovely, funny man to work with should NOT hesitate to book him - you will not be disappointed. Fantastic music flows from this man Thanks again GG and keep in touch"

"We asked Des to play the organ at our wedding on 2nd September at Cambray Baptist Church. From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and an utter professional. He didn't bat an eyelid when we asked him to play complex and unusual music and seemed to know all the old fashioned hymns we requested. When the bride was late it didn't phase him and he played continually for over 30 minutes. He mastered the Sound of Music Wedding Processional and the Can Can as well as lots of hymns. He turned up for the rehearsal and on the day was absolutely wonderful. He is extraordinarily talented and a wonderful unflappable musician. We thoroughly recommend Des - he will not let you down! "
