"‘Alan kindly stepped in at the last minute to provide piano accompaniment for a silent film screening at a Conference. Despite the lack of preparation time, Alan used his knowledge and understanding to create an ideal soundtrack, incorporating appropriate themes and a traditional silent film score. It was a hugely successful event and in no small part to the performance of Alan.’"

"We were delighted with the wonderful musical accompaniment which Christa provided at our wedding. Not only did she play beautifully during the reception, she also agreed to play a particularly personal piece of music during our wedding ceremony. She played it faultlessly and created the perfect atmosphere for us and our guests. Thank you Christa."

"Gemma Monaghan - Double Tree Hilton, Liverpool April 2018- Jay thank you so much you were amazing. I heard you at a wedding event and thought that guy is good. But nothing could have prepared me for the actual day. I had so many compliments about how great you were and how your playing was faultless. Professional to a tee yet approachable and friendly at the same time. Thank you again Gx"

"With a month or so to go before our wedding (July 2015) we found ourselves without an organist. Not knowing quite what to do next, we turned to Google and found Lastminutemusicians.com. Choosing an organist from the site was such a daunting prospect given how important the organist's role was to be and not knowing if the person we would end up choosing would be any good! After a number of replies from other performers we chose Mark and we couldn't have been in better hands. Mark is a true professional and a talented performer. He is eager to please, vastly experienced and could adapt most songs/pieces of music for the organ. A week or so before our wedding, and in his own time, he visited our chapel and familiarised himself with the organ he would be playing. We also spoke frequently on the phone to discuss our thoughts regarding what we wanted to be performed and he also provided helpful suggestions and ideas without 'taking over'. On the day itself he was prompt, well presented and played beautifully. Thank you again Mark for your contribution to our special day, I really can't recommend you enough...in fact two of the guests at our wedding used Mark as the organist at their wedding having been impressed, I'm sure, at what they heard!"

Reply by Mark Burton - Wedding Organist / Pianist
Mark and Di - the pleasure was all mine! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the Binns Organ in Queens College, Cambridge - it was a treat for me too as an organist. I'm pleased that you were happy with my performance on such a hot day, the organ took time to set up for the wedding, but it was worth it. And, I got to do it all again in August for your friends wedding in the same chapel!

"Fantastic Wedding Pianist. Could not recommend Matt enough, the music was excellent. It made the day extra special and we received lots of comments from our guests complimenting the music. Matt was really helpful before the day in helping us to choose the background and ceremony music."

"Just to say thank you for your beautiful playing on Saturday.. It was just what I wanted and made a perfect background to the evening. We were so lucky to have such good weather that our guests could be outside all evening. "

"Jon at our wedding on Saturday was amazing, he arrived early and started playing. My brother in law made some requests and he just played those tunes brilliantly. To top all of this he played a James Bond theme tune which made the brother in law and his son's day. Thanks again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you for any wedding or event."

"Some Irish and more widely based music from the duo (Nigel Hammond on Piano performing with Joe Boland on Violin and Melodeon), sound level just right, miles better than a disco- live music! Excellent musicians. Wedding at the Holiday Inn Milton Keynes East. Recommended."

"5 star Google Review: If you do one thing after reading this review, it’s book Nigel as your pianist for whatever occasion you have! We first met Nigel at a wedding fair in Bedford and we knew from hearing him play, that we wanted him part of our wedding day - and we are so thrilled we did! Nigel is exceptional - he played for ceremony sit down, ceremony, and drinks reception (outside); his repertoire of songs and genres he can play, by memory we must add, is phenomenal! He’s also one of the most organised vendors ever - very slick planning process which made it so easy, he’s so calm, approachable, helpful and friendly! Nigel kindly sent Jen (bride) examples of him playing a shortlist of tunes to help her decide which one to select for her aisle song! He’s always been so responsive on email (even when he was on holiday)! On the day, Nigel was super professional, decorated his piano with flowers that matched our colour theme perfectly, and played songs that were perfect for the mood and setting; he even spontaneously started playing ‘consider yourself’ from Oliver when the group family photo was being done which went down a great treat (and triggered an impromptu singalong by the family!) Just brilliant, and received a lot of compliments from our guests! Our wedding was held at Tewinbury Farm which was a new venue for Nigel (at the time) and he was so open to this, not phased at all and did his own research and made his own contact with the venue to make sure he knew where to be on the day - as we say, a true professional and couldn’t recommend more!"
