Thank you Gemma for inviting me to play for your wedding at Hengrave Hall. What a beautiful day it was, in such a stunning venue - I had a great time playing your requested music on the organ in the chapel, and then afterwards on the piano in the Banqueting Hall for your wedding breakfast. Your family and friends kept me busy with requests, which resulted in just about every type of music being played! Thanks for the photo's of me at the piano, I've uploaded one to my gallery. Good luck to you both, keep in touch, Mark.

"Mark was really great and fantastic to collaborate with. We had been in two minds about getting an organist but most certainly happy that we did! Mark truly was a fabulous addition to our day and I would sincerely recommend him to others. Thanks again! "

"Thank you so much for all your help at the wedding reception of our daughter. Your piano playing was superb and was very much enjoyed by all there and gave a great ambience whilst the choice of music was impeccable. I am only sorry that you were unable to play for us at the church because of the requirement to use the local 'church organist' . Your punctuality and professionalism shine through and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you again for making the day so special."

Thank you again for your comments Sarah, it was a pleasure to play for your drinks reception at The paddocks Hotel. I'm pleased that you were happy with my choice of music, although we did get a few requests in too! I wish you both all the best for the future.

"I met Gareth after having had a fairly comprehensive email correspondence with him, where we had discussed exactly I would like to achieve and what he felt he could offer. It felt very promising, but I knew the moment I saw him that he was absolutely right for this difficult occasion. When he sat down at the organ in the Chapel and rattled off several really wonderful pieces I found out how really special he is and that I had been really lucky to pick him. He had agreed to work with me on a very personal programme of music including a performance of songs with another professional soloist - a mini concert (Purcell and Duparc). The result turned out to be quite stunning with beautifully performed pieces from them both, as if they had worked together for years. Having played various gorgeous pieces throughout, at the end, he gave us his adaptation of Vaughan Williams Lark Ascending which was just beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble and I have received so many letters from people attending who said how much they enjoyed the music that day. Thank you Gareth for everything you did. I would always recommend you, because music is in your bones, you play like a dream and are an utter professional. Frances"

"I can honestly say that our wedding of 14 people would not have been complete without Mark! He was wonderful, he has such a brilliant way of filling the entire space and connecting people with music. Mark was able to make the most of instruments that have not had much use nor care during the pandemic and produced the most wonderful sound with them. Mark made both the more classical organ pieces and contemporary piano songs sound amazing, making hairs stand on end with the power of the music. More importantly, Mark was truly a part of our party, interacting and making it more fun alongside everyone. Thank you! Thank you so much for being absolutely brilliant, could not recomend anyone more highly and will certainly be contacting again in the future."
