"We used Mark to play the organ at our wedding and he was truly spectacular. Not only did he play the organ but he also played the piano and used his piano to play our entrance music via MP3. He ensured that every single piece of music we loved was played and in the best way. There is nothing Mark is not happy to offer and he truly cares about doing the best for your big day. We were so lucky to have found him to help make our day special. If you need someone for your day, you need to use Mark. He makes everything so easy and perfect for you. Get booking! "

Scarlet, thank you for your lovely remarks. I thoroughly enjoyed playing for your Christmas Wedding in Cambridge, the organ was lovely at the Leys School, enabling me to achieve a lovely cathedral sound during the carols making it even more festive! Thank you for choosing me for your big day. Mark (December 2015)

"5 star Google Review: If you do one thing after reading this review, it’s book Nigel as your pianist for whatever occasion you have! We first met Nigel at a wedding fair in Bedford and we knew from hearing him play, that we wanted him part of our wedding day - and we are so thrilled we did! Nigel is exceptional - he played for ceremony sit down, ceremony, and drinks reception (outside); his repertoire of songs and genres he can play, by memory we must add, is phenomenal! He’s also one of the most organised vendors ever - very slick planning process which made it so easy, he’s so calm, approachable, helpful and friendly! Nigel kindly sent Jen (bride) examples of him playing a shortlist of tunes to help her decide which one to select for her aisle song! He’s always been so responsive on email (even when he was on holiday)! On the day, Nigel was super professional, decorated his piano with flowers that matched our colour theme perfectly, and played songs that were perfect for the mood and setting; he even spontaneously started playing ‘consider yourself’ from Oliver when the group family photo was being done which went down a great treat (and triggered an impromptu singalong by the family!) Just brilliant, and received a lot of compliments from our guests! Our wedding was held at Tewinbury Farm which was a new venue for Nigel (at the time) and he was so open to this, not phased at all and did his own research and made his own contact with the venue to make sure he knew where to be on the day - as we say, a true professional and couldn’t recommend more!"

"We had the pleasure of hearing you at Crooklets and the Bush Inn. Both by accident, both wonderful. Ed Sheeran Bad Habits was superb. Talented musician!"

"Simon played for us at a party to celebrate our 55th Wedding Anniversary. His choice of music was perfect for the occasion and his playing delightful. We shall certainly ask him to play again for any future celebration and recommend him highly."

"Mark played our wedding on 8th December 2018. Everyone commented to us on how amazing the "piano guy" was. Mark was so professional from the day we booked him and I cant express how amazing he is. He played the music as our guests arrived, as I walked down the aisle, throughout our reception drinks and during the wedding breakfast and nothing was too much trouble for him. I would book Mark again in a heartbeat, he really made our day extra special! "

"Jon played during our wedding breakfast and was everything we had hoped for and more! His grand piano shell looked fantastic in our venue and the music set the perfect atmosphere throughout the meal. Jon played every single song we had requested beforehand (from Disney to My Chemical Romance!) as well as all of the songs our guests requested on the day. I would highly recommend Jon to all my friends and family - he was fantastic!"

"Communication was great and he was very accommodating. In the end, Chris ended up not only piping for our wedding but also playing piano throughout our service. He is a very skilled musician and a lovely person, we had many compliments about the music played on our day! Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a piper or other music accompaniment for their big day"

"We booked Vikki for our Harry Potter themed wedding and she was superb. The song list she holds is extensive (classical and modern) and even learnt some pieces that we requested to tie in with the Harry Potter theme. Before the wedding Vikki was incredibly professional, prompt, polite and efficient with communication. On the big day, Vikki arrived on time and played beautifully. Many guests enjoyed listening to her and commented on how impressed they were with her musical ability. Vikki - you truly made our wedding magical with your music - we would recommend you to anyone. Thank you so much! Lauren & Andrew"

"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."

"Jon performed for a small gathering at my home around Christmas time. It was a surprise for my friends and Jon did not disappoint. Firstly to say, he was truly professional in all my dealings with him, finding out exactly what was needed to make the evening a success. Secondly his performance was outstanding. He read the mood and the flow of the evening and made sure everyone had a great time. We even gave him short notice of a couple of songs to learn, which he did fabulously well. Make sure you book this young talented man for any event you are having. A truly terrific find! "

"Brilliant accompanist. Gareth has now accompanied my children on several occasions from Grade 5 through to Grade 8. He spent an amazing amount of time with them, making sure that they were comfortable both with him and the music. He was very professional yet also very easy for my teenagers to work with. Despite my children's very busy schedules, he was very flexible and fitted rehearsals around them. I have honestly never heard my children play so well!"
