Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"From start to finish, Mark was absolutely incredible. We hired Mark to play at our wedding, alongside a choir that he had never performed with before, and his performance was amazing. He kept in touch with us throughout and helped us to work out what would work best for our ceremony. The result was fantastic and we had so many compliments about the music during our ceremony. We cannot recommend him enough, thank you Mark! Xx"

"I highly recommend Sarah for all types of gatherings requiring a pianist. Sarah provided the perfect background to my mum's 70th birthday."

"Fantastic Wedding Pianist. Could not recommend Matt enough, the music was excellent. It made the day extra special and we received lots of comments from our guests complimenting the music. Matt was really helpful before the day in helping us to choose the background and ceremony music."

"Laurence, thank you so much for playing at George's christening. Not only was your playing excellent but I also really appreciate your patience and adaptability given l didn't give you a huge amount of information beforehand - you certainly made the process very stress free for me and we will certainly use you again in the future should we need anything else playing in the church.

"Everyone (including ourselves of course) had so many great things to say about Chris. I appreciate how Chris learned new songs for us and it was never a bother. We absolutely loved hearing Chris play music from games and movies that mean so much to us. Even from the beach when we were taking photos, we could hear Chris and were so excited listening to it! My family hasn’t stopped singing Chris’ praises. It was such a wonderful day and he did an amazing job. Highly recommend, such a lovely person."

"We were thrilled Sarah was able to play for us at our wedding! Communication was fantastic throughout the planning process, and Sarah’s performance on the day was beautiful. She had a fantastic repertoire to choose from, but also learned some new songs especially for us - it was so special to be able to listen to them. Having Sarah play made the ceremony so wonderful and moving - thank you so much!"

"Gareth Giles played at my birthday party at the Holiday Inn, Shepperton in March 2024. I came across Gareth through his YouTube channel 'A date with the dinner set' and knowing him as a former teacher at my children's school and living locally, I knew he would be perfect to start off my party. He plays the piano beautifully and chose a good selection of melodies. My guests thought he was excellent and I highly recommend him. "

"Sarah played piano during our wedding ceremony and she was absolutely brilliant. Her repertoire is really varied which meant we could have a range of music to match our eclectic taste! Sarah was responsive and friendly via email, and everything ran really smoothly. Would definitely recommend!"

"Matt was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the moment we booked him, he made everything feel so easy and calm, and on the day itself he was nothing short of amazing. Our wedding ceremony was extremely emotional, and Matt didn’t just play the music, he felt the moment with us. The way he captured the atmosphere, the timing, and the emotion in the room was beautiful. So many of our guests commented on how moving the music was and how perfectly it suited the ceremony. What really touched us was how genuinely invested Matt was in our day. The emails he sent afterwards and the Facebook post he wrote about our wedding meant more to us than we can put into words. Knowing that our wedding moved him so deeply created such a special buzz and made the day feel even more meaningful. Matt is not only hugely talented, but also one of the loveliest people you could hope to work with. We would absolutely love to hear him play again and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book him for any future events. If you’re looking for a pianist, Matt is the one. Thank you, Matt — we will never forget what you brought to our wedding."

"Mark's repertoire during our wedding breakfast was amazing. We Cannot thank him enough for the musical accompaniment to our special day. He is very warm and friendly, and communication was excellent. Andy and I can't recommend him highly enough - he played our favourite songs on request with gusto and our guests loved every minute! A great addition to our venue at Stratton Court Barn, Oxfordshire."

"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! "

"Gareth accompanied my daughter for her Grade 8 Flute and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He spent more time with my daughter tha we had paid for and put her totally at ease with his sense of humour and brilliant musicianship. We have absolutely no doubt that Caroline would not have achieved a distinction without Gareth's fantastic support and accompaniment. A wonderful musician - thank you Gareth."
