Reviews of Bradley Matesi

Bradley was simply spectacular. He made the booking process really straightforward, set up on the day really smoothly, and performed flawlessly. We had booked Bradley to play during our ceremony, and his timing was perfect, with just the right volume level for the room.

We wouldn’t hesitate to book him for another event.

Bradley played brilliantly at my birthday reception and during dinner. He was organised, reliable, flexible, chatted to the guests and played a mixed repertoire of pop and jazz. The music made the evening.

Bradley played during our wedding ceremony, pre-dinner drinks reception - and during the wedding breakfast! We gave Bradley pretty much carte blanche with music choices and I am glad that we did. I cannot recommend Bradley highly enough as he set a tone for the whole day. Beautiful playing that made our special day even more special.

Dear Bradley, I’m dropping you a line to say that we really appreciated your piano music throughout our wedding party at home. In particular, a special thank you for learning Puccini’s O Mio Babbino Caro, which our young daughter sang and performed with you to everyone's delight! Bradley, you are both professional and charming and you added greatly to our special day.

Bradley played for us at our bar opening and drinks reception; he did a wonderful job in giving the room atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed the song choices.

Hi Bradley, just a quick message to thank you for your lovely tunes during our wedding. Our guests loved having a pianist on the day and had a lot of fun playing guess the song. :) I hope you've enjoyed the day. Thank you once again! Best, Sara and Dimas

Hi Bradley, we have now returned from our Honeymoon and I just wanted to say Thank You for your performing at our day. It was fantastic from start to finish, the tracks during the ceremony were perfect, as was the playing in wedding breakfast. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed your playing and also loved singing along!

Bradley recently performed at a wedding I that I managed and he was absolutely brilliant! Every note he played was perfect! From the beautiful songs during the ceremony to some lovely classics performed during the Reception, Bradley really added a touch of class and brilliance to the wedding as he tinkled away on the ivories! I would highly recommend him for all sorts of occasions. He is incredibly professional and a very talented pianist.

Bradley played the piano at an evening drinks reception on 15 June 2017 to mark our firm’s 20 year anniversary. His choice of background pop and light jazz piano produced a wonderful musical backdrop and atmosphere. Bradley was a complete star and I’d highly recommend him.

Bradley was absolutely amazing, he was very quick to respond to queries and gave us a lot of help with song choices and even learnt a new piece for us! We were so happy he played at our wedding, all our guests were very impressed. Thanks so much Bradley!

Bradley Edery played a wonderful ‘Vintage Vegas’ (circa 1950’s) set in the Main Bar Area for the annual Waitrose Supplier Gala Dinner in support of Grocery Aid. He created exactly the atmosphere we were looking for and we hope to work with him again in the future.

Bradley played prior to our wedding ceremony at the OXO2 to welcome our guests and to entertain with upbeat jazz during our drinks reception. He really helped to create a wonderful atmosphere on our special day and so many guests commented on his repertoire. We can't recommend Bradley highly enough. He was super organised, always promptly responding to emails and calls. He liaised with the venue on our behalf and planned ahead very throughly. Bradley helped us source a beautiful baby grand digital piano which added a real touch of class to the venue. He was also able to tailor his repertoire to some of our favourites which meant so much on the day. Bradley exceeded our expectations and he is a really nice gentleman.

Hi Bradley, Thank you so much for Saturday! You have honestly been an absolute pleasure to deal with which makes a huge difference within the stress of an event. It's very rare our piano ever gets played so it was wonderful to listen to you playing it so beautifully during the champagne reception. Simply stunning. Thank you for letting my cousin and Grandad join in for a duet :) I'm certain that we will be in touch again soon for another family event. All the best, Hannah.

Bradley was an absolute pleasure to work with. He played non stop and his choice of music including modern covers was the perfect entertainment that the event needed. Would highly recommend.

Dear Bradley,

We would like to thank you so much for helping us make our Wedding day so special.

The whole experience from discussing a wide range of song choices with you and your performance on the day was outstanding.

All our guests commented on how wonderful you played which added elegance and sophistication to our Wedding.

I would highly recommend you to family and friends.

Thank you again.

We booked Bradley at short notice for our wedding reception at The Waldorf Hilton in Covent Garden. Bradley was extremely flexible and helpful when speaking to him prior to booking, and he played beautifully at our reception.

Bradley played the piano magnificently at our special performance at Rochester railway station on 13 May 2016 to mark the arrival of the people’s piano in the main concourse. Bradley joined BBC’s The Voice finalist Jamie Johnson to play a medley of well-known classics - which went down brilliantly and our passengers really enjoyed. Thank you Bradley.

Bradley performed as part of a backing band for a live music video for one of our artists. He went above and beyond even before we met on the set, and was one of the most professional performers we've worked with. Didn't drop a beat all day, thoroughly nice guy, and I wouldn't have any hesitation with hiring him again.

Hi Bradley,

just a short note to thank you so much for your assistance and participation in our special function. Your choice of tunes were perfect and everyone has commented on the music. I must add that having background music alters the total ambience of the occasion from just a standing around party to one of real quality.

Many thanks again and should you require any reference Jackie and I would be more than happy to oblige.

Very kind regards,

Henry

I was searching for a pianist to accompany my singing at my wedding and we also wanted a medley of house music played according to songs we had chosen. I approached quite a few pianists with my request and received a positive response that it was do-able. However, only Bradley took the time to pick up the phone and talk me through my requirements. From the moment I spoke to him, I knew that he would do everything he could to put together exactly what we were looking for.

We practiced a couple of times before the wedding and I had every confidence that Bradley was going to deliver what he promised. He turned up early to prepare for the gig at our wedding and as I’d surprised my guests who didn’t know I was singing, we were a hit! His house medley was so good that the guests didn’t realise that he was actually playing. The impressive thing is Bradley hadn’t ever played House music before, but he embraced the challenge and was nothing short of fantastic.

We loved having Bradley at our wedding and will definitely be using him again for our next big bash. If you have a desire to achieve something out of the ordinary, Bradley can make that dream come true. He did with me.

On top of being a great pianist, Bradley is also warm, friendly and reliable. He loves what he does and does it so well. He’s a true professional and the guests at my wedding absolutely loved him. Thanks again Bradley, you made our day extra special and my wife was blown away.

Fabulous evening Bradley - my friends and family absolutely loved the entertainment. xxx

We hired a really nice barn restaurant for my dad's 70th and Bradley brought his portable piano along and played some of my dad's favourites as well as some classics from Bradley's repertoire. It was a great night, thanks to the brilliant music - cheers, Rob!

We asked Bradley to play some of our favourite Beautiful South songs on the piano at our wedding, which he played brilliantly. Thanks Bradley, we love you! xxx

Bradley played a great set at my husband David's 40th in Hertfordshire. His piano playing was superb. We especially loved the cabaret section where David's sister sang a song from Eurovision with Bradley at the piano. Superb atmosphere, thank you Bradley!

I booked Bradley at short notice for our event and he learned all the songs outstandingly. He made our night fantastic and I would definitely use him again. Bradley, I could have used a whole page to review you as you are a great guy with a beautiful talent keep up the good work X

My hubby Rob and I performed a couple of surprise songs for our wedding guests after dinner, with Bradley at his piano. Bradley, you were brilliant, we couldn't have done it without you!

Bradley played the grand piano at our wedding ceremony. He learnt a piece of music that is really special to us and performed it beautifully. It was the perfect start to our wedding.

Bradley’s piano music suited the mood of our wedding drinks reception so well. Bradley, you’re an outstanding pianist as well as a great communicator too – thanks so much.
