"Just want to thank you once again for your part in helping to make our ruby anniversary such a success. So many people commented on how well you played and you even impressed our offspring with your repertoire! We had a lovely afternoon which will remain with us for years to come. Hope you find the time to explore Holmbury a little more."

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday, it sounded amazing and there were many comments about how talented you are. Lots of our guests complimented you on how beautifully you played the harp and how fabulous it sounded. The selection of music played was fantastic and really helped to make our wedding so perfect! Thank you for learning our chosen songs for the ceremony, this made it really personal for us and thank you for travelling to us and making our ceremony and drinks reception so enjoyable and special. We would definitely recommend you to others for their weddings. Thank you again! Amy and Rob x"

"I met Gareth after having had a fairly comprehensive email correspondence with him, where we had discussed exactly I would like to achieve and what he felt he could offer. It felt very promising, but I knew the moment I saw him that he was absolutely right for this difficult occasion. When he sat down at the organ in the Chapel and rattled off several really wonderful pieces I found out how really special he is and that I had been really lucky to pick him. He had agreed to work with me on a very personal programme of music including a performance of songs with another professional soloist - a mini concert (Purcell and Duparc). The result turned out to be quite stunning with beautifully performed pieces from them both, as if they had worked together for years. Having played various gorgeous pieces throughout, at the end, he gave us his adaptation of Vaughan Williams Lark Ascending which was just beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble and I have received so many letters from people attending who said how much they enjoyed the music that day. Thank you Gareth for everything you did. I would always recommend you, because music is in your bones, you play like a dream and are an utter professional. Frances"

"What an amazing performance for an amazing day. We hired Andrew for the biggest day of our lives and had many conversations prior to the day in order to make sure everything was spot on. Following his advice on numerous songs for particular parts of the wedding, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our wedding was delayed by nearly an hour due to dress malfunction, but Andrew continued to perform for his audience and even threw in a dance, keeping the audience delighted. Watching back on videos of the wedding, it is quite clear that despite how important the day was, the quality of Andrews performance just made it even more emotional and really fitting for the day. I can’t thank him enough for all of his help, constant dialogue with organisation, quality of performance and general pleasantness. Music apart, Andrew is a very well mannered, polite and understanding individual who every guest warmed to during our day. Thank you for everything Andrew."

" I wanted to thank you again for the simply stunning performances you gave both during the ceremony and the drinks reception. I cannot stress how many people commented to me how awesome you were and asked me where I found you! I feel so lucky to have stumbled across you online and that you stuck with us throughout SO many pandemic-related changes of plan! Thank you SO much! You really are a true legend with the most unbelievable talent."

"Jamie was excellent! He played piano during our lawn drinks reception and then inside during our wedding breakfast. He played a mixture of pop, rock and music from films as requested and it was exactly what we'd hoped for. He offered to play for longer which we happily said yes to but we perhaps should have considered costs before squiffily saying yes, but do not regret it as he was great and gave an excellent vibe for the day! Lots of compliments from guests and fantastic communication before and after the event!"

"Louise also played the piano wonderfully and it was certainly a great thing to extend her booking for the duration of the meal as well. She was super!"
