"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 😃 🎹"

"We were so delighted to have Mark play at our Wedding Breakfast at Westminster College Cambridge on Saturday 1 September 2018. He has such talent and is so professional and easy to work with. We cannot recommend him enough. Many of our guests asked for his details and he got many rounds of applause. Thank you so very much Mark, you made our day very special. xx"

Thank you so much Helen, it was such a pleasure to play for you both at Westminster College in September. Everything just came together perfectly on the day - wonderful venue, piano and couple! It was like playing at a concert with lots of applause too. Keep in touch, and I look forward to seeing you both in the future. x

"Garreth - thank you for your divine organ playing for our service last Sunday. Your leadership of the hymn singing was truly inspiring and the whole congregation was in awe of your extemporisation and voluntaries. Please come again and I cannot recommend Garreth's musicianship highly enough. Thank you again. Dorina"

"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"

"My wife Lorraine and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony at our small parish church. The organ was in need of maintenance so he brought his own keyboard and speaker system. We chose a range of music from contemporary melody to classical, and Mark fully demonstrated his versatility in his excellent performance, simulating piano, orchestral and organ as appropriate to great effect. He accompanied the hymn singing in a very accomplished way without dominating or following. He took a great effort to establish what we wanted in advance enabling him to fully complement what was for us and our guests a very intimate and unforgettable occasion. Mark proved to be very friendly and obliging and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services for any similar event."

"Really great musician and knew exactly what we would like. Played his key board and a baby grand in the church but could have also played the organ. A number of my guests were very impressed with his playing, and were actively taking about it, which was a surprise and is really great. Thanks "

"Gareth was brilliant for our wedding. He emailed all the options and took the time to come and meet for coffee and discuss further. We really appreciated his considerable experience and that he took the time to come and get to know a little bit about us. He helped us choose the wedding songs and hymns and suggested where to place them in the service. He also proof read our order of service prior to printing. On the day the music was more than we could have ever wished for and lovely, energetic hymns. Anyone looking for a real professional with vast experience who goes the extra mile to make your occasion really special should book this amiable and talented guy. Thanks G - you made our day."

"Mark, thank you for playing the music for the Pride of Houghton Awards, which took place on the 7th October 2015. The evening was very successful and I am pleased to confirm that the guests at the event included the Vice Chairman of Central Bedfordshire Council, the speaker from Bedford Borough Council, The Mayor of Sandy and the Deputy Mayor from Flitwick, as well as members of the local community, the winners, and their guests. The guests very much enjoyed the evening, and your piano music was the perfect accompaniment to the buffet which followed the prize presentations. Once again, very many thanks."

"Gareth, stepped into the breach at short notice, after the church organist pulled out of our wedding. From the first meeting, his excellence was clear. He was reassuring, attentive, and above all very reliable. He liaised brilliantly with my uncle who performed a solo during the church service. We could not fault his organ performance, and he received numerous compliments from members of the congregation. We would recommend him to others without hesitation."
