"Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did playing for hours at our wedding. You kept our guests entertained while we were away for photos, and our wedding breakfast was enhanced by hearing snatches of some of our favourite songs, played so beautifully. Thank you also for learning our requests quite last minute ! The care and professionalism you showed us was very much appreciated. "

"Des George is a fantastic keyboard player. For the second year in a row he has led our Christmas Choir to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Des played for 4 hours solid. He is a incredibly versatile musician. He was playing anything from rocking Christmas songs like Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas" through to traditional beautifully played Carols. Thank you Des. You are a star."

"Simon played for us at a party to celebrate our 55th Wedding Anniversary. His choice of music was perfect for the occasion and his playing delightful. We shall certainly ask him to play again for any future celebration and recommend him highly."

"We had Nigel play for our ceremony at Abbey Hill Golf Centre. Nigel played some Frank Sinatra songs that we requested as guests were being seated, mixed in with a few other songs reading room & making it feel personal to us. All of our chosen songs he played during our ceremony were beautiful, especially the song Nigel took the time to learn for us as our signing of the register. We especially wanted to thank Nigel for playing until every last guest left the room. We had a couple of elderly guests who needed a little extra time and they commented on how lovely it was of him to keep playing and how he made them feel comfortable to take the time that they needed. Big thank you to Nigel, your music made our ceremony perfect! "

"Joe, many thanks. We were obviously very busy and hence did not get a chance to see you. We did however take note of the music during our reception and it was perfect for the occasion. A number of our guests enjoyed it too. Thanks again. Mr and Mrs Reed."

"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."

"Mark was brilliant from the moment we contacted him right the way through to the end of the event. We could not have chosen a better pianist for our wedding! He was so catering towards the songs we wanted to be played, he also went above and beyond to learn a particular bollywood song that we wanted. Given that we were a covid bride and groom, Mark constantly reassured our stresses and supported us throughout. When some things did not run on time, Mark used his initiative and played such lovely music to “fill the gaps”. Not only is Mark an amazing pianist but a very kindhearted man too! We received so many compliments about the Bollywood pieces that Mark played during our canapes, everyone absolutely loved him. Mark you are so talented! Thank you so much for playing at our wedding, you made the day that much more special. We are so happy you were a part of it!"

"The best! I booked Sue to perform for our ceremony and drinks reception, and she was absolutely magical! We had some unique song choices in our ceremony and Sue made personalised arrangements especially for us, the aisle walk was everything we’d dreamed of! In the drinks reception, Sue performed romantic pop ballads which set the most perfect fairytail atmosphere! I totally recommend her!"

"We were thrilled that Richard was able to play at our wedding. Absolutely wonderful & we were so happy."

"I booked Richard as a surprise for my daughter at her wedding as she had always wanted to walk down the aisle to a violinist - we couldn't be more delighted with his performance. The wedding was held in a barn and as you walked towards where the ceremony was held you could hear the violin playing which was just magical. Richard was so helpful and accommodating, playing everything that we asked for and more, he even played Laura's aisle walk music again for her as she wanted to re-live the moment (it was a short aisle!). After the ceremony, Richard played in the background, loud enough for everyone to hear, but also be able to hold a conversation. His contribution really added to the relaxed vibe of the wedding, but I can imagine that he would be equally at home in a more formal setting. We had so many compliments with regard to Richard's playing, I am sure that he will be receiving many more requests from people attending the wedding and the venue itself who were super impressed. Not only was Richard's violin playing excellent his communication before the event was brilliant, answering emails promptly and sending us a run down of what would happen on the day. My family and I send our best wishes and thanks to Richard for being part of the wedding and helping to make our daughter's day so special."

"Mark has played for our choir numerous times since I have been a member and he always gives us 110% of his talent when acommpaning us. Mark's talent adds special undertones to our choir arrangements and makes us sound amazing. We're very grateful whenever Mark can play for us. "

"I can’t recommend Nigel enough, his performance absolutely made the atmosphere at our beautiful woodland wedding in August. We first booked him in 2020 but of course had to rearrange. He was so accommodating about rearranging in all the uncertainty and his comms over the next two years were fantastic. He even created us our own set of songs so that we could enjoy at home on the date we were supposed to have been married. On the day, the music was just perfect, I will never forget the feeling of being about to walk into the ceremony, and I could hear the song he had learnt for us playing. Best money we spent. Thank you, Nigel!! "

"We booked Jon for our wedding last week and he was absolutely brilliant. Even better than we could have asked for and everybody thoroughly enjoyed his music. We had so many compliments on the day and loved the choices of music he played. Couldn’t recommend more highly for a wedding or event. Thanks again Jon!"
