"A brilliant experience! Sue was very quick to respond to organisational queries prior to the event. As musicians, Sue and Lloyd were first-class, and fitted in perfectly with the professional, yet relaxed, atmosphere of the launch."

"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."

"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for your beautiful piano playing at our wedding on the 25th March. I had to take a moment to compose myself walking down the stairs with my dad to Wong – Romantic Cannon in D, it was bringing a tear to my eye… Beautiful, and we really enjoyed Sam Smith during the signing; I know from my guests that they loved Shrek... many of them commented that they knew the tune but couldn’t quite place it - just what I was after. My whole farming family loved All Creatures Great and Small …. Thank you so much for repeating during the drinks! Thanks again for creating a beautiful atmosphere that contributed to our perfect day, and I am only disappointed that I didn’t get the chance to meet you and thank you in person."

"Nigel played the piano on our wedding day on the 06/10/19 at Woughton House in Milton Keynes. He played from guest arrival right up until after the wedding breakfast . I can honestly say the day wouldn’t have been the same without Nigel playing beautifully on the piano. Very professional and helpful before and on the day. I would 100% recommend Nigel to anyone. "

"Christa is very friendly and helpful. She has a large repertoire of music both classical and pop to choose from, but also included a song that I requested specially. All the practical arrangements worked seamlessly and smoothly and she played exactly as agreed with the keyboard she brought. My guests appreciated not only the choice of music but also the musical arrangements. Christa's music added an extra special element to my birthday celebrations and I highly recommend her."

"Sebastian did a spectacular job arranging the music for my father's funeral. My father had left very specific directions for the music he wanted, and we had a week to plan it. Sebastian arranged a 16 member choir, a fantastic organist and trumpeter. It was spectacular and everyone commented on how superb the music was. Plus, it was very organised and hassle free. Thank you Sebastian!"

"Robert played a lovely selection of music - some of our choosing, some of his and some of the residents' requests. Most popular with the older people were his medley of war-time songs and some Frank Sinatra tunes whereas we marginally younger folk enjoyed the Beatles medley. The organ concert made a very pleasant occupation for a cold, early-winter afternoon. We would highly recommend Robert Baker for such a function and maybe next time we'll invite his wife along to come and sing with/for the residents, too. "

"Thank you for playing the organ so brilliantly at our wedding on 24 September this year. Everyone said how well you played the hymns and the entry and recessional tunes were a triumph. Thank you so much."

Some fantastic musical choices - I loved playing these. It was a memorable ceremony. No more excuses needed than to pull out all the stops for a wedding ceremony!

"We hired Mark for our wedding and from start to finish he was absolutely incredible. We went through several months of planning where Mark not only suggested some great songs but accommodated a number of our own special requests. On the day his experience really paid off as he combined the church organ with his own digital keyboard, which was perfect for the traditional yet upbeat mix of songs we were looking for. Mark also played the piano during the wedding breakfast and we were inundated with comments on how good he was. It is obvious why he has been chosen to play at such top London restaurants (we even had dinner at the Gilbert Scott before the wedding just so we could hear Mark play and we was fantastic as ever). As well as a gifted musician Mark is also the ultimate professional, always available to talk and quick to respond to any issues. He even worked closely with our singer to ensure they had the correct versions of each song we requested. He took all the stress out of managing the music in the build-up and on the day, something which we found invaluable with everything else that goes with planning a wedding. If you need an organist/pianist for any event we simply cannot recommend Mark highly enough! "

James, thank you for such a lovely review. It was a lovely day, and very busy for me at Hengrave Hall - after nearly a year in the planning it was good to see everything running like clockwork on the day. I wish you both a great future, please keep in touch and come and see me at the Gilbert Scott sometime!
