"Mark, thank you so much for being a part of our special day at Hengrave Hall. We are so happy that it was you that we picked to play for us - brilliant! We hope to keep in contact in the future, and you will always be on speed dial if we need you, and I am sure we will. Lots of love, Luke and Alysha xx September 2016"

"Gareth's an absolute gem! We were in desperate need to find an organist weeks before our wedding, as our previous organist had to cancel. I came across Gareth's details and luckily he was available. He came to visit us at my family home where my mum insisted on giving him some of her home made Limoncello :) and even after that he manage to wow us with his music skills, a true talent! Thank you!"

"Ann’s contribution to our daughter’s wedding was so valuable. We had clear and professional communication throughout the entire process of obtaining a quote, booking and choosing the music. Ann was so flexible with the music choices and was entirely happy to learn some new Welsh tunes which meant a lot to us and some of our guests. The day was perfect and enhanced by the beautiful music that Ann played for us during the ceremony and the drinks reception. "

"We asked Des to play the organ at our wedding on 2nd September at Cambray Baptist Church. From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and an utter professional. He didn't bat an eyelid when we asked him to play complex and unusual music and seemed to know all the old fashioned hymns we requested. When the bride was late it didn't phase him and he played continually for over 30 minutes. He mastered the Sound of Music Wedding Processional and the Can Can as well as lots of hymns. He turned up for the rehearsal and on the day was absolutely wonderful. He is extraordinarily talented and a wonderful unflappable musician. We thoroughly recommend Des - he will not let you down! "

"Mark played at our wedding ceremony in Cambridge. Despite some last minute issues with the chapel organ, Mark was very accommodating in proposing an alternative plan (bringing his own digital organ to the chapel). He was able to meet all of our song requests, and did a fantastic job on the day. The sound quality and playing made for a brilliant accompaniment to such a special moment. "

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.

"Sam was excellent, he stepped in at the last minute and helped us out of what would have been an awkward situation for our wedding! His playing was fantastic and he did a great job of playing for the room and incorporating personal touches we had asked him for."

"What an amazing organist! Words cannot portray the mastery this superb musician has over the multi faceted colours of the organ. A phenomenal technique that is a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you Gareth for the pleasure you bring to so many with your delightful playing."

"Gareth was brilliant for our wedding. He emailed all the options and took the time to come and meet for coffee and discuss further. We really appreciated his considerable experience and that he took the time to come and get to know a little bit about us. He helped us choose the wedding songs and hymns and suggested where to place them in the service. He also proof read our order of service prior to printing. On the day the music was more than we could have ever wished for and lovely, energetic hymns. Anyone looking for a real professional with vast experience who goes the extra mile to make your occasion really special should book this amiable and talented guy. Thanks G - you made our day."

"We booked Anthony for our wedding in July, we were extremely please with him. You would be hard pressed to get someone as good as Anthony. He plays the organ beautifully.anthony also helped us in the choice of hymns we played at the wedding. We were very very pleased with everything he did from start to finish "

"Gareth helped us achieve a dream. We had discovered a Victorian ancestor had had quite a bit of music published, which we had been able to copy, but not being musicians, we didn't know what to do next. I wanted to have the music recorded as an Xmas present for my husband and found Gareth's details on line. I went to him in early December so it didn't leave much time, but he still managed to learn and record one of the pieces for Colin for Christmas Day, and since then he has recorded all of the music on two CDs for us. From the start he was so helpful and accommodating - meeting with me to look at the music, giving a clear time-scale and cost, and then presenting us with two very professional CDs. His playing is just beautiful, and he explained that as some pieces were songs, he'd had to record the main melody and then dub in the soloist's part on top (that's a non-musical explanation of what I understood Gareth to say!) He went to such lengths to make everything perfect, keeping us regularly informed of how things were going, and his costs were very reasonable for the amount of work involved. If we find any more music, we'll certainly ask him again."
