"I had seen Nigel many months earlier at a wedding fair and immediatley decided that he was the one I wanted to play at our event. I just loved his repertoire and it resonated with me. Like many wedding couples, we had to change the date for our wedding more than once and we were so thrilled that Nigel was very easy to get hold of and responded quickly to our requests. Especially with a venue change and then having the complexity of a church service as well as a reception. It was so sweet of Nigel to do a little Facebook video and dedicate a tune for us on what would have been our wedding day and he even put on a wonderful coloured jacket to add extra pizzazz. Such a wonderful and personal touch. To help us choose, Nigel gave us a spreadsheet of his tunes and it made it very easy to tick boxes to choose our favourites. Also, as we were having a church service, Nigel especially learned a hymn that my husband particularly liked. Despite restrictions on the setting up time at the church, Nigel put on a fantastic performance. Beautiful flowers on his piano and a colour themed jacket too. Although we had restrictions on numbers of people, Nigel really made this a special and intimate event. At the reception, we were extremely happy with the wonderful background music Nigel played... it just seemed so effortless as he rolled from one tune to another. We had so many compliments on his playing and professionalism both during and after the event that we felt proud and privilidged to have him as our musician. We cannot recommend Nigel highly enough and we consider him to be the best event pianist in Milton Keynes. We will most definitly consider booking him again should we have a celebration in the future."

"Christa’s communication from the moment of booking was spot on. She listened to the style of music that I had asked for and sent a snippet of the aisle song I had requested. On the day it was just perfect. She played a lovely selection of songs and is very talented. Very grateful to have had her as part of our special day. Thank you"

"Robbie was fantastic. He really made our wedding, I often heard people saying the song that was playing and it made my day. I asked him to help me with a voice over to surprise my hubby to be before I walked down the aisle and he did. The soft music in the background was just beautiful. He came outside for the reception drinks then back inside for the wedding breakfast. You definitely need him at your wedding without a doubt. Thank you so much."

"What a truly outstanding musician Nigel is. I can’t thank Nigel enough for everything that he did for us on our wedding day! From our initial phone call, Nigel’s friendliness, helpfulness and expertise immediately shone through and I knew that we were in very good hands. Nigel made the entire process smooth and stress free; providing so much advice and guidance along the way which really helped to shape our day. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for Nigel and he really did go the extra mile during the planning process to ensure everything was perfect; from advising us on song choices for parts of the day we weren’t sure about to learning specific versions of the songs that we had requested. I couldn’t be more grateful for all of the time and effort Nigel put into our plans! The result? Truly beautiful music for every part of our wedding day. Listening to Nigel’s music as I walked down the aisle is a memory that will last for the rest of my life. Nigel has an incredibly impressive repertoire of music that he can play and he kept our guests thoroughly entertained throughout the whole of our drinks reception. He created a genuinely wonderful atmosphere and so many people commented on how much they were enjoying his music! Lots of guests also commented on how lovely a person Nigel is; something I can wholeheartedly attest to! Nigel’s piano set up is also absolutely stunning and really fit in with the décor of our venue. He even took the time to ask what colour theme we were using so he could provide matching flowers for his keyboard. We also asked Nigel to play a piano cover of our first dance and we were so thrilled that he was able to stay to do so. It was a magical moment and another memory that I shall cherish forever. Nigel possesses an incredible talent and I wholeheartedly recommend that you put your trust in him for your own wedding day because I have absolutely no doubt that you will be as blown away as we were. My only wish now is that I could listen to Nigel all over again! "

"Stephen is an extremely talented musician and played a perfectly tasteful selection of background music for my father's funeral wake including everything I had mentioned as my favourite pieces. I received many compliments on the piano music and it really set the perfect atmosphere for the evening. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen. "

"Sebastian is a first rate musician of the highest calibre. He has played the organ for several of my choirs for which he has been outstanding, reliable, organised, easy to work with, prompt, communicative and always fully prepared. Sebastian has a professional consort of singers who are excellent and can be booked for church and corporate events. I would not hesitate to recommend his consort of singers, who can be booked through him, to anyone looking for a top notch choral group who are flexible with repertoire and extremely able to sing all genres to the highest standard. Sebastian has a deep knowledge of appropriate repertoire for a variety of church services and is always on hand to advise when needed. I fully commend Sebastian to anyone looking for a professional, highly skilled and reliable church musician who is equally at home conducting a choir or playing the organ for any church or corporate event."

"Mark played at our wedding ceremony in Cambridge. Despite some last minute issues with the chapel organ, Mark was very accommodating in proposing an alternative plan (bringing his own digital organ to the chapel). He was able to meet all of our song requests, and did a fantastic job on the day. The sound quality and playing made for a brilliant accompaniment to such a special moment. "

"Des George played at our Cancer Research Christmas Choir event. He was absolutely brilliant. He played for 4 hours solid and he absolutely nailed every song. He combined brilliantly with the drummer and everyone agreed they produced a great sound. I would unreservedly recommend Des for any function where you need live music. Not only that Des is a great guy and really got into the spirit of the occasion."

"What a super pianist and accordion player. We booked Stephen for our wedding reception and we were not disappointed, he was simply fantastic. All our family and friends couldn't stop raving about how wonderful, warm and intimate his music was and how it set the scene for the rest of our wedding day. Stephens natural talent along with his clear passion was something we all shall never forget. Listening to his wonderful melodic tunes on his piano and accordion and bringing smiles to all our guests, especially us, we all wanted more and didn't want him to leave. What more is there to say apart from, Thankyou Stephen for making our wedding day a memorable one. "

"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!"

"I booked Sarah to play at our wedding and she was absolutely amazing, we had so many compliments on her playing during the day! She was brilliant at replying to my emails and there were lots! I was a bit stuck for inspiration so she very kindly gave me some suggestions and even learnt to play a song especially for us. Honestly I couldn't recommend her highly enough!"
