"Lee was very friendly and professional. We discuss the event beforehand and he arrived on time. He played all the songs we wanted and made the big difference to our wedding ceremony. Would definitely book him again."

"We are so grateful to Nigel for the absolutely perfect soundtrack to our wedding breakfast, no words can fully capture how much his music added to our day. From the moment he began playing, Nigel created an atmosphere that was warm, elegant and full of joy. The music flowed beautifully throughout the meal and it genuinely enhanced every moment without ever overpowering conversation or the atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how lovely and memorable the music was, and how perfectly it complemented the couple of hours we spent together with the people we love most in the world. Nigel’s playing was heartfelt, expressive and wonderfully tasteful which was exactly the right balance of soul, emotion and celebration. His ability to read the room, adapt to the moment and provide such a thoughtful, uplifting soundtrack was incredible. Whether it was the gentle background pieces during introductions and first courses, or the slightly livelier melodies later on, every note felt intentional and special. Not only was his performance beautiful, but Nigel himself was a joy to have, he was warm, friendly and professional from start to finish. He was attentive in the lead-up, easy to communicate with, and such a calm and welcoming presence on the day. If you’re looking for music that feels timeless, full of heart and uniquely tailored to your wedding, we absolutely recommend Nigel. His music didn’t just fill the room; it added another layer of emotion and beauty to one of the most meaningful parts of our day. Thank you, Nigel; we, and all of our guests, loved absolutely every moment of your music."

"Christian played at our wedding, he played as the guests were arriving, the walk in song, after the ceremony and during the fizz and canapes, he was sensational, it really set the mood and emotions throughout this time and was perfect. Christian himself is very friendly and talented, he even learnt a song he wasn't familiar with, with only a week to go until the wedding. I couldn't recommend having him play at your event enough. I can honestly say it was the perfect touch to our special day."

"Matt lit up our wedding in The Cotswolds in October 2022. I cannot recommend this guy highly enough. He's friendly, professional, and above all; extremely talented. I feel we pushed the boundaries in terms of our fussiness on what we wanted Matt to play; a mixture of classical and contemporary. Not only did he nail the playlist, but also played a key role in helping us to understand how we could further tailor it. Matt also had to work alongside a busy schedule of others, working with them to make sure our day ran as seamlessly as possible. Matt has a fantastic attitude and really cares about his work. 5 Stars all round.

"Emily was amazing! She played at my fiancé's 30th birthday dinner. The whole group loved her! She was really easy to deal with before, during and after the event. Thank you so much. "

"Sarah recently played the piano before and during our wedding ceremony, starting with a 30 minute set to greet our guests as they arrived at the church. Sarah played an array of acoustic renditions of modern songs, individually chosen by her to suit our musical taste, which received the utmost praise and compliments from our guests. We also requested if Sarah would mind playing a bespoke processional song, it wasn't quite your typical walking down the aisle tune but she completely embraced the request. In addition to learning the new song, Sarah also reworked the melody to create a truly bespoke piece to which we were able to walk down the aisle. Sarah is not only a very talented, graceful and professional pianist but her music added a whole other dimension of joy, ambience and romance to our special day and for that we can not thank her enough. Hayley + Andy x"

"Very professional, we meet a few times and he knows his job. Not only an excellent pianist and organist but also knows the wedding dynamic and tempos. He will deliver what is needed on the wedding day and will take all your worries. Mark is the pianist/organist you are looking for, period."

"We were really impressed with Des. He had come via recommendation from a family member and he even exceeded the superlative reviews I'd received! Des is an excellent live performer with a great blend of smooth jazz, classical and so on producing a seamless hour of entertainment delights. Des provides a great service. Reasonably priced and very willing to accommodate the client's needs. He came with his own equipment and is prepared for any occasion. He's well worth a booking."

Thanks John, it was great to meet you and your family and extended family and to provide the musical accompaniment to such a joyous occasion!

"I booked Moon River for a medical conference dinner to play during the drinks reception and a formal three-course dinner. They were extremely professional to deal with at every level, as well as being flexible and reliable. The sets they played were varied, some songs being very modern adaptations and others traditional, and were delivered to a very high musical standard. I received many compliments about the occasion and would definitely recommend Moon River to others."

"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!

"Amy played piano for our wedding ceremony and it was out of this world! She was able to play all of our requests and was so lovely and professional! I would 100% recommend Amy's musical talents and would absolutely book with her again ?"

"We chose Vikki to play at my daughters wedding which was perfect in every way including Vikki's part in the whole day playing music before and during the ceremony. She has an excellent selection of music and will also try and accommodate requests that are not in her repetoire. The ceremony is the most important part of a wedding and with so much going on for anyone included in the wedding party its difficult to pay a great deal of attention to listening to the music, but all the guests commented about it and how it was very appropriate for the setting.
