"We have now returned from our honeymoon and wanted to thank you so much for providing us with such excellent music at our wedding. You created the most perfect atmosphere during our ceremony and were everything we could have hoped for. Having you play in the afternoon during the canapes and drinks was also amazing, we recognized every song and have had many compliments passed to us from our guests for you. We really liked how you kept in touch and gave recommendations right up until the wedding so we knew what to expect with no stress at all. We would recommend you in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a musician for their special day! Thank you again!"

"I just wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful music you played on Saturday. Pachelbel’s Canon was perfect & thank you for learning the Queen of Sheba; that was also beautifully played. You truly added to Harriet & John’s big day."

"We are delighted to have Max open for us – he is a star in the making. We loved his energy as a performer and his new single demonstrates he can back that up with the songs too. Make sure you get to the venue early"

"We absolutely loved having David here and he was a great way to get the party started with some sophistication (but also keeping it fun!). Thanks for being so patient and flexible to work with, hopefully we can have you again soon."

"I contacted Louise prior to our wedding which was held on the 26 August 2022 at St Mary at the Elms Church in Ipswich. I found Louise very helpful when it came to making arrangements, I planned to hold our reception at the Dove Inn, St Helens Street, Ipswich. One might think this was not a very posh venue for a wedding and one would be right. However, our Beckett family have had very close ties to the Dove Inn since the late 1800s. So, it is a very special place for us and has been a place we meet for birthdays and special evens as well as being a place to go for a quite drink etc. The wedding was held outside at the back of the pub, best described as a semi covered area with very large square canopies. I was surprised that Louise accepted the engagement as it was very apparent that Louise is a very experienced, professional, and celebrated pianist that you would be well suited at very high-class hotels and such events. Plus, she agreed to travel from Diss in Norfolk to play for us. I needed to make more than one last minute adjustments and I found Louise to be very versatile and she clearly understood what I was looking for. We agreed that she would play a mix of classical, light jazz and Frank Sinatra style of music, which Louise played to perfection. I had in the region of sixty-five guests. I originally agreed with Louise to play for two hours, expecting guests to switch off after that as there were no dancing facilities. Louise’s music was so infectiously pleasing to the ear that I asked her to play for another hour, because the atmosphere was electric and I did not want to lose that harmony that she was creating as the hour neared to the end, I begged her to play for another hour, which she agreed to. I have taken time to write this extended review because I am a person that wears my heart on my sleeve, and I am open and honest with everyone. Despite my brief to Louise, that I wanted her to feel like a guest and not just the pianist, I asked her to take regular breaks and participate in the ongoing buffet. I can honestly say that Louise played for four hours almost none stop. In my opinion this was way over the call of duty. I do however have one criticism of Louise if it can be called that. Louise I honestly believe that you should increase your fees. What you did for my wife and my guests was incredible. You made our day extra special, and your fees should be increased for the magical music and memories that you create. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Doug Beckett "

"Just wanted to say thank you so so much for Saturday! Your playing was absolutely stunning, I'm just gutted I didn't get to sit down and just listen to you play from start to finish! You made the ceremony absolutely gorgeous despite my giggling fit and Rich's "speech impediment"!!! Hilarious! Everyone said having the harp music was gorgeous in the reception too and I loved your huge concert harp! Beautiful! Thanks so much again and I hope we'll see you again at one of our friend's weddings in the future! "

"Hi Alan, I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Walking down the isle, while you were playing our favourite song was beautiful and made the day so special. During reception drinks, we had so many compliments on how talented you were and what a lovely addition to our day it was. Your communication throughout the whole process was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed working with you. Your song selection is amazing and very hard to chose from as there are so many great songs that you play! I would highly recommend you for the future. All the best "
