"Des has played in our Village church on several occasions now ... including a wedding and services with small and large congregations. His sensitivity and versatility enable him to perfectly meet the musical needs of any occasion. His encouraging and lively style made even a congregation of 14 feel to be part of a larger lively congregation; and his subtle use of his jazz background makes a traditional service sound fresh and exciting. Thanks Des!"

"Quite possibly 100% one of the best decisions we made, booking Nigel for our wedding at Huntsmill Farm. Nigel is super talented with the most welcoming personality. He has the most amazing repertoire; there does not seem to be anything he cannot play or will put his hand too!! Nigel played for our wedding ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast and OMG what an edition he was!!! I say edition, he totally made those elements of our wedding as amazing as they were. His talent is second to none, the ambience he brings with it is just magical and was the perfect choice for our day. We literally cannot recommend Nigel enough; he will absolutely make your day as magical and as special as you want it to be. Everyone at our wedding spoke very highly of Nigel and loved his music – they absolutely loved him as much as we did. We would 150,000% recommend Nigel. We promise you will not be disappointed, quite the opposite, you will be glad to have him as part of your day."

"I would love to recommend Maryana as singer / musician for your venue/s. We chose Maryana for our pop/rock Live Music Wednesdays for our Wine Bar, Oak N4. From our very first e-mail to our ongoing collaboration, she has been very friendly, reliable, professional and responsive to our needs. We were looking for a musician who would attract a younger age group than our regular customers and bring something fresh to the table. Maryana was happy to fill in for other artists and was available when needed. We were touched with her expressive and emotional performance and her engagement with people. For that we decided to extend our collaboration for another month. It has been a great pleasure working with Maryana and as a venue we certainly recommend her. Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information."

"Sarah played background piano music during a work event and it was absolutely beautiful - could not recommend her enough. She chose music perfectly to suit the vibe and was very helpful and easy to work with! Would not hesitate to book her again next year - thanks Sarah!"

"We invited Jonathan to play for our evening wedding reception where in addition to the afternoon guests we expected a total of about 75 people. We sent in a few requests ranging from Rachmaninov to Rod Stewart and Jonathan was able to learn what he did not already know and perform brilliantly. Many of the guests commented as to how much they enjoyed the music. We would certainly use his services again, the only problem is, we do not have another function lined up so we may have to organize one. He is also a very nice man who really knows how to balance volume against the conversation levels in the room, his experience shows."

"When I first met you, Nigel I knew you were going to be the perfect pianist for our wedding. Personable, knowledgeable and very accommodating; working on new material just for us. Nothing was too much trouble. You even made sure that I was happy with your suit and ensured that the flower arrangement on your piano matched the theme of the day. Those details make all the difference and was very much appreciated. Nigel, thank you for your part in making our day special, you truly were a delight and the ultimate professional X"

"Mark, thank you so much for playing the organ at Christchurch for Amy's wedding on Saturday 5th November. The music sounded amazing from start to finish - so many of our guests commented on how brilliant you were. We loved your use of the keyboard for Amy's entrance 'A Thousand Years' which sounded so lovely on the piano. You certainly were the right man for the job, giving us help and advice in choosing the music, then visiting us at the church to see the organ and discuss the final musical details with us. Your music set the tone and atmosphere for the whole day. We have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking for a wedding musician, we now know why you are so highly rated on Last Minute Musicians! Christchurch, Swindon. 5th November 2016"

It was lovely to come to Christchurch in Swindon to play for Amy and Alistairs wedding. I enjoyed playing the organ there, and using my keyboard alongside the main organ to play piano music and MP3 recordings of Amy's deceased father Gary singing them down the isle for their Exit music. It was very special, what a fantastic voice Gary had! Thanks for choising me to play for you.

"I’m only just getting around to saying our thank yous and I wanted to say a big one to you and the rest of the EM strings squad on the day! The music was wonderful - I’m only seeing snippets of it now on our guests’ videos from the ceremony and it sounds absolutely beautiful! Thank you for coping in the 34degree heat and putting on a beautiful show for our guests to enjoy. I hope you have a wonderful week and busy wedding season ahead and hopefully we get to meet at a wedding in the future again! "

"Matt delighted our wedding guests with his truly adaptable style; classic hymns during the service itself, iconic film soundtrack for the procession out of church - and a very helpful addition to any groom's speech; ten 1980s TV soundtracks seamlessly woven into improvisation whilst we awaited the arrival of the (very lovely) bride! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

Thank you Suzanne for your very kind comments. Yesterday I played at a DIAMOND Wedding Anniversary, so who knows - I may be able to be of service to you in ten years` time! Best wishes, Laurence.
