"Book Piano Matt for your event ? From the outset, Matt was the friendliest, most helpful person to connect with. Having recently planned and celebrated his own wedding, he was immediately offering support and reassurance in so many areas beyond our expectation! Matt is so incredibly friendly, positive, and flexible, even helping us out with a last minute talk on Zoom on a Sunday evening when we got into a deadline panic. Then there's Matt's talent - the love that he has for his craft is huge, and the way that he understands music and the piano is astonishing. Matt offered to learn a custom setlist of classical piano interpretations of our song choices, which was the most incredible thing. Just a couple months before the wedding, we asked him how much notice he would need from us to send him the full list of songs we'd like, and whether we'd left it too late. His response was to shrug and say 'if a tune can be hummed, then it can be played on the piano - there's only so many chords'! I wish I could have that level of confidence and knowledge about anything in my life ? we sent him our (pretty mammoth) playlist, and he said he'd do what he could to work on them and get them perfect - and he really truly did. With Matt playing throughout our welcome, our ceremony, our drinks reception and our wedding breakfast, there was such a great amount of time for us to enjoy him soundtracking our day, and we would have loved to be able to just sit and listen to more of him!! Our guests, from grandparents to 3 year olds, all absolutely loved the magic that Matt created for us. There's been no end to the comments from everyone about how much they enjoyed Matt's music. From the moment guests began arriving, he was playing and creating a brilliant atmosphere. And not only was his performance itself fantastic, but his willingness to learn our custom playlist meant that our guests could guess and recognise piano renditions of songs referencing memories, TV shows, films and comedy - it was truly a highlight of our day! Thank you Matt, for *everything* you did for us in shaping our day, from learning a playlist of 60+ of our weird song choices, to recommending new music artists based on our tastes, and even by bringing along a microphone and PA for us to use for our speeches. We had such a joyful day, and you helped to build it for us. We're so grateful, thank you! "

"Adam performed before our wedding ceremony as guests were arriving and for the aisle walk, as well as performing with a vocalist for the drinks and canape reception. Guests were all very complementary on how the set list for the ceremony was pitched perfectly, and the songs felt very appropriate for the occasion. The afternoon performance was also a hit, with the guitar and vocals providing a nice backdrop to the reception. I'd certainly recommend Adam for any wedding celebrations!"

"Rachel sang at our wedding, and to say we were impressed would be an understatement! Rachel has a beautiful voice and sang a large mix of different songs to create the perfect playlist. She had everyone up on the dance floor! Rachel is not only talented but also an amazing person to work with, very accommodating, friendly, and went above and beyond! We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a talented and professional musician for their wedding. Thank you Rachel x Emma & Ian – Bride & Groom – Rowhill Grange Hotel & Spa "

"I am proud to have worked with Vernon, his professionalism and dedication are second to none. I have booked Vernon and his band (via my agency) and he has not only delighted his audiences, but left lasting impact that guests talk about for years to come. Hard working, talented and assiduous, if you book Vernon and his band today you're in for for a real treat!"

"Zoe was absolutely fantastic the playing of the music and timing to our non traditional entrance was greatly appreciated. She played tracks that are uncommon upon request and did so amidst a lot of action. The guests really enjoyed her and was regularly asking about her. Great communication from the very start. One thing is you are in safe hands with Zoe from start to finish."

"We met Nigel at an open day at our wedding venue and we (and our grandparents) loved his music and charm, and felt it would add a real personal touch to the wedding. We were absolutely right. Nigel’s communication was excellent from day 1 and it was so lovely to hear he approved of our (fairly niche) ceremony music choices. On the day we got very lucky to have an outdoor ceremony and this was no trouble for Nigel at all, who played beautifully, matching all the songs played to the specific ones we had requested for particular moments (which ended up being played for a little longer than planned as I was running late - sorry Nigel!). So many of our guests commented on how lovely the piano and playing was and it was so nice when our guests got excited about recognising the specific songs. Thank you so so much for being a part of our special day Nigel, we would absolutely recommend you to anyone!!"
