"Mark, thank you so much for playing the organ and piano so beautifully at my Wedding Ceremony, I’ve never heard our organ sound so good. So many guests commented on how lovely the music sounded too. I also really appreciate the help that you gave my Dad before the ceremony, whilst rehearsing his songs, your accompaniment on the piano was just perfect! We really couldn’t of asked for a better organist, and would recommend you to anyone, thank you."

"I haven't heard the special opportunity to hear him play in person, I live in the States... but listening to him on Facebook and on YouTube has be an uplifting and cherished event in and of itself. I would recommend him for any event, with he'd travel across the pond.. it would be such an experience. Recommended him very highly, professional competent, and an expert musician, and a beautiful person. Any event, any time, with any amount. Thank you Reviewed by: Audrey Taylor Lewis"

"Mark came to play at a wedding I was organising. Truly professional. The organ in the church wasn't up to much but he had his own equipment which was great. The music was wonderful and everyone one was delighted. Mark is a lovely person to deal with, full of enthusiasm for his work and able to understand what is required. I would 100% recommend. "

"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)

"Gareth was a guest organist for a Sunday service when, at short notice, we needed a deputy. He took a great deal of time and trouble to familiarise himself with our order of service and conventions, played the hymns with a real ear for the congregation, and brought true musicianship to the prelude, offertory and postlude. He switched to piano for the sung solo, which he accompanied with real sensitivity to the piece and the singer. The congregation were delighted to have him play for us, and we would have him back in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose."

"Thank you for playing the organ so brilliantly at our wedding on 24 September this year. Everyone said how well you played the hymns and the entry and recessional tunes were a triumph. Thank you so much."

Some fantastic musical choices - I loved playing these. It was a memorable ceremony. No more excuses needed than to pull out all the stops for a wedding ceremony!

"We hired Shean to play the organ for our wedding ceremony and he was just wonderful, both on the day and when deciding which music to have. Shean suggested some lovely pieces and played everything, including our hymn choices perfectly. We would really recommend him and thank you again Shean! Kind regards, Beth"

"Thank you ever so much Mark. You really saved the day for me as I had to search for you last minute and you just came through all the way and calmed my nerves throughout. You did such an amazing job and played the organ so beautifully - everyone commented your music lit up the church. So thank you again for everything. I highly recommend you to anyone :) All the best."

"The pianist was incredible, great music choice, he also played the wishes of the guests. It appeared that the same pianist was playing at the event in 2019 when our Lab organised a workshop and dinner in Homerton."

"Dear Mark, thank you so much for your lovely music at my Mum's funeral on the 18th of July. The congregation and family all appreciated it greatly, it was a fitting tribute. My only regret was that we only heard a little of the 'Lark Ascending' the request for the undertaker to wait a few minutes at the end didn't work out. However, thank you again from all the family, the organ sounded amazing."
