"Gareth thank you for your stunning playing at our wedding last month. We were so lucky to find you at short notice and really appreciate the time, care and calming humour you brought to us in our planning coffee. Gareth Giles is a truly lovely man to work with and made all our musical dreams come true with apt suggestions and help with the detailing of the order of service. His playing is pure genius and any couples reading this looking for a highly talented, experienced church musician who also happens to be a lovely, funny man to work with should NOT hesitate to book him - you will not be disappointed. Fantastic music flows from this man Thanks again GG and keep in touch"

"We booked Rob and Mark for our wedding reception evening 'do' and are so happy with the decision we made! Rob guided us through their repertoire, was prompt in his replies and gave us suggestions as to what order songs were done in. The evening flowed perfectly and we've had so many positive comments from guests. Lovely touches, such as some word tweaking to make it so very personal. Rob, and his band, just got on with it and are clearly professionals. We'd recommend them to anyone, for any event. There's nothing like brilliant live music!"

"Des and Mike provided an excellent accompaniment to our family celebration in a garden setting. Perhaps we might have liked a little more jazz added to their fantastic repertoire."

Thank you for your lovely comments Georgia. It was a beautiful Ceremony at Hengrave Hall in the beautiful setting of the Church. You looked a stunning Bride, so beautiful. I wish you a long and happy life together x

"Gareth was the organist at a civic service at which my brother and I were asked to play trumpet. He met with us, liased with the organisers, provided suitable music and accompanied us. He took the lead with a keen sense of humour, made it fun but was always focused consequently the music at the service received nothing but praise. Subsequently I have practiced a couple of concertos and other works with him accompanying. He quickly and accurately picked up the music. It was a rewarding and enjoyable experience and I look forward to continuing working with him."

"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. "

"We were so delighted to have Mark play at our Wedding Breakfast at Westminster College Cambridge on Saturday 1 September 2018. He has such talent and is so professional and easy to work with. We cannot recommend him enough. Many of our guests asked for his details and he got many rounds of applause. Thank you so very much Mark, you made our day very special. xx"

Thank you so much Helen, it was such a pleasure to play for you both at Westminster College in September. Everything just came together perfectly on the day - wonderful venue, piano and couple! It was like playing at a concert with lots of applause too. Keep in touch, and I look forward to seeing you both in the future. x

"Gareth is absolutely amazing! He happily learnt our song requests for our wedding and played so beautifully for our hymns, during the register signing and while our guests were coming in. His style of playing is so brilliant and his music added so much to the ceremony. Can’t recommend enough! "

"Thank you so much Mark for the impeccable service you provided at our wedding at Anstey Hall. Booking Mark was simple and the communication was great in the run-up to the wedding to ensure the music was just what we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble and we couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks again!"
