"Robbie was recruited as an undercover agent – and he absolutely nailed the assignment! My now-husband (still feels surreal saying that!) and I knew from the moment we got engaged that we wanted a small, intimate ceremony surrounded by just our closest family. With such a small guest list, I was a bit nervous that having different suppliers involved might make things feel staged and take away from the personal atmosphere – but I couldn’t have been more wrong. We had already booked a live singer for the ceremony and drinks reception, and since Robin is a huge classical music fan, most of the songs were naturally chosen by me. I really wanted to incorporate his love of music into our special day, and that’s when I reached out to Robbie. Not only did Robbie put together a playlist based on my husband’s favourite songs and artists – he even went out of his way to learn two of his absolute favourites. Robbie performed during our wedding breakfast (as a complete surprise for the groom!) and coordinated setting up in secret perfectly. Everyone commented on how incredible the music was – they were truly blown away. We honestly can’t recommend Robbie highly enough – thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect!"

Hi Kelly - it was a lot of fun being an undercover piano agent for you! I was so pleased we managed to keep it a surprise right until the time you both entered the room for the wedding breakfast. Playing for a more intimate setting was very enjoyable, I really felt part of the day. Thank you so much for asking me to play for you, and congratulations again!

"Jess really got the party started for our drinks reception! She was full of energy, fun vibes and had a great set list, that we were able to pick out our favourites beforehand. Flexible on the day with a slight shift in timings. Great communication. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed her performance - we should have booked her for longer. Would definitely recommend Jess for weddings and other occasions. Thanks Jess! We enjoyed having a dance to the sax ☺️"

"Jess was a fantastic part of our wedding celebrations. We all loved her and she did such a good, professional job. Taking the stress out of booking, arriving, setting up, and dazzling is all. She gave suggestions based on experience and played so well. "

"We were looking for a musician/singer for a birthday garden party and James P. Anno fit the bill perfectly. His extensive list of soul/jazz/current songs was great and we were able to choose 10-15 songs off his list to play along with others that he played. We also requested a song that was not on his list and James happily learnt the song which was really appreciated and well received. We had two 1 hour sessions with a relaxed feel for the first set and then a more uptempo second set, which is what we had asked for and worked really well for our afternoon/early evening party. James corresponded well, we had a zoom meeting to discuss what we wanted, the atmosphere we were trying to create and he took it all on board. James arrived early to set up, he was polite, friendly and professional throughout and was extremely flexible. James was a huge success with us and our guests, he is a great pianist and singer and there was lots of dancing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James."

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Mark for playing at our wedding (November 2015)! Mark was so helpful and professional every time that we dealt with him. He was happy to play all of our crazy requests and did a great job on the day. The music was beautiful and our guests loved it! "

It was a pleasure to play for your drinks reception at Anstey Hall back in November. I enjoyed performing your playlist too, the little ones especially enjoyed the theme from Frozen! Please keep in touch, and I look forward to playing for you again in the future. Mark

"We booked Becky for our big joint 60th party. Our family all love folk, blues and soul music and Becky was just wonderful - absolutely made our evening. Her voice is pure and subtle and beautiful. She used guitar and violin, using looping to create a really complete sound - very professional and skilled. Her interpretations of songs we know and love very much were wonderful. She is extraordinarily versatile and I really think everyone at the party felt there was a song that was special to them. Can't recommend Becky highly enough."

"Nigel kindly played at our daughter’s wedding at Blake Hall, Essex - both before/during the ceremony and then during the wedding breakfast. He was excellent but we knew that he would be as he had previously played at another of our daughters’ wedding. A real range of music that met our requirements perfectly - some specifically requested but others from Nigel’s own playlist. Would thoroughly recommend."

"We were absolutely delighted with Nigel’s performance at our wedding at Rushton Hall. From the moment guests arrived to the final notes at the end of the wedding breakfast, his music brought warmth, elegance, and a truly personal touch to our day. Walking down the aisle to “Heaven” played live by Nigel was one of the most emotional moments of the ceremony. Nigel played “Came here for love” as our exit song and he timed it all just perfectly. During the reception and wedding breakfast, Nigel captured the mood perfectly, and tweaked the music to ensure the audience was consistently entertained. But what really blew everyone away was our reception walk-in as Nigel learned and performed “Chase the Sun” just for us, and it went down an absolute treat with our guests! The energy, the surprise, the joy, it was an unforgettable moment. Nigel was a dream to work with: professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our day special. He took the time to understand our vision and went above and beyond to deliver it. If you're looking for a pianist who combines talent, heart, and a flair for being able to read his audience then Nigel should be your number one choice. We’re so grateful he was part of our celebration."

"I can not recommend Jan enough! From the initial booking conversation to the day of our event, he was in constant contact and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. He is an absolutely fantastic saxophonist - all of our friends and family mentioned how amazing he was and how it completely made the night. He boasts a huge collection of songs to pick from - whether it be slow and romantic or Ibiza classics. We are so glad we booked him! Thank you so much Jan! "
