Laurence played the ceremony music for our recent wedding. He mastered the songs we requested (even if some of them were outside the more traditional wedding songs). He accommodated the switch around from indoor to outdoor (when the rain gave us a break). He was the icing on the cake to a beautiful ceremony.

Just wanted to send you a short note to say A BIG THANK YOU for being such a big part of the day.

The weekend was totally amazing from start to finish. We have received so many compliments from guests - about the venue, the location, the music, the service, the food and drinks, the decorations - in fact everything!

We have so many special memories that will stay with us a lifetime.

The piano was such a lovely touch - especially the bride reveal on the staircase - something we’ll always cherish.

Thanks you again for playing such a special part.

All the very best from,

Derek and Helen
Emily and Connor

Laurence, thank you so much for playing at George's christening. Not only was your playing excellent but I also really appreciate your patience and adaptability given l didn't give you a huge amount of information beforehand - you certainly made the process very stress free for me and we will certainly use you again in the future should we need anything else playing in the church.

Lawrence's playing was the highlight of our day on the cruise and provided a very varied programme of music. His repertoire was all embracing and entertaining whilst we supped our wine! He readily offered to play requests and his improvisation just had to be heard. Thank you Lawrence.

Laurence, it's extremely important that l and my family let you know that we were absolutely delighted by your musical support. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and a significant part of that was due to your lovely playing during the meal.

We wanted to thank Laurence for coming and playing the piano at our party at the end of September.
We all enjoyed it very much! It was my husband's birthday party and Laurence helped us create an unforgettable,
beautiful piano evening for all of us! We will be very happy to invite him again to play for special occasions for
our friends and family.
Thank you very much again, Laurence and we wish you all the very best with your work that brings so much joy to so many people.

We contacted Laurence through this site to play during our ceremony at Stoke Park Pavilions. He was extremely helpful and accommodating, going out of his way to play the songs that we wanted and accompanying the Bride's Soprano Mother whilst she sang a song for us. We cannot recommend him enough and our only regret is not having the opportunity to say thank you after the ceremony (photographs etc etc). So thank you Laurence, many of our guests commented on your superb playing.

Laurence, thank you so much for your wonderful playing yesterday at our party. Everyone enjoyed it and commented on how good you were. Thankyou for being so accomodating with all of us - I`m sure it wasn`t easy! I hope you had a good journey home and a successful time next month on the ships. I do hope we meet again, speak soon, Sian

Thank you so much for playing for us at the `celebration` on Saturday evening; there have been so many messages from our guests on your exceptional range and quality of music, that you were certainly the star of the dinner. Angela and I are most grateful to you for your enthusiasm and assistance in making sure the evening was the success that it undoubtedly was, so very many thanks.

Once again Laurence provided musical direction for my show and was absolutely fabulous. Excellent arrangements, extremely hard-working and always helpful and friendly. I`ll be using him again on my next show.
