"A professional, kind and imaginative musician! From the moment I spoke to Matt I knew we were in safe hands…I just wish I had found him sooner! He was very professional and immediately set about finding out what was needed. Super easy to deal with, plenty of ideas and very flexible and of course he played beautifully. He made the event very special and I can’t thank him enough. So glad he was there."

"Sarah played during our drinks reception and was exactly what we hoped for. She learnt songs that were special to us as a couple and played them brilliantly setting the mood we wanted. Highly recommend her!"

"Nessa's a great entertainer with plenty of aces up her sleeve. Her style on stage is very charming and easily accessible to all. Musically she has always pleasantly surprised me with both instrumental and vocal skill, and excellent judgement in picking songs for an audience!"

"I contacted Louise prior to our wedding which was held on the 26 August 2022 at St Mary at the Elms Church in Ipswich. I found Louise very helpful when it came to making arrangements, I planned to hold our reception at the Dove Inn, St Helens Street, Ipswich. One might think this was not a very posh venue for a wedding and one would be right. However, our Beckett family have had very close ties to the Dove Inn since the late 1800s. So, it is a very special place for us and has been a place we meet for birthdays and special evens as well as being a place to go for a quite drink etc. The wedding was held outside at the back of the pub, best described as a semi covered area with very large square canopies. I was surprised that Louise accepted the engagement as it was very apparent that Louise is a very experienced, professional, and celebrated pianist that you would be well suited at very high-class hotels and such events. Plus, she agreed to travel from Diss in Norfolk to play for us. I needed to make more than one last minute adjustments and I found Louise to be very versatile and she clearly understood what I was looking for. We agreed that she would play a mix of classical, light jazz and Frank Sinatra style of music, which Louise played to perfection. I had in the region of sixty-five guests. I originally agreed with Louise to play for two hours, expecting guests to switch off after that as there were no dancing facilities. Louise’s music was so infectiously pleasing to the ear that I asked her to play for another hour, because the atmosphere was electric and I did not want to lose that harmony that she was creating as the hour neared to the end, I begged her to play for another hour, which she agreed to. I have taken time to write this extended review because I am a person that wears my heart on my sleeve, and I am open and honest with everyone. Despite my brief to Louise, that I wanted her to feel like a guest and not just the pianist, I asked her to take regular breaks and participate in the ongoing buffet. I can honestly say that Louise played for four hours almost none stop. In my opinion this was way over the call of duty. I do however have one criticism of Louise if it can be called that. Louise I honestly believe that you should increase your fees. What you did for my wife and my guests was incredible. You made our day extra special, and your fees should be increased for the magical music and memories that you create. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Doug Beckett "

"Sarah recently played at our wedding and was absolutely fantastic! She entertained our guests before the service with her repertoire and played a tune she learnt especially for me to walk up the aisle to. She expertly amended the end of the tune on the day to fit perfectly with the time it took me to walk up the aisle. Sarah was professional and reliable as well as bringing her sense of fun and enthusiasm for music to the day. Loads of our guests have commented on how great she was and we loved having her as part of our celebrations! Massive thanks to Sarah!!"

"I can not recommend Jon highly enough. He is the most talented pianist and such a lovely guy. We had the pleasure of Jon playing for us throughout our ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast. It was a privilege to hear him transition beautifully between a wide genre of music at the request of our guests and he was fantastic at offering suggestions for key moments of the day when we felt stuck. Thank you Jon for being a part of our big day. "

"What can I say about James? Since booking him to be our wedding DJ at the beginning of the year, James has been amazing. The support and advice and information he provided was endless - this guy knows his stuff! James, having worked in the wedding industry for years now, gave me advice on plenty of wedding areas - not just music related. James is a genuinely helpful person and he was invaluable to us! On the night he was a gem. He arrived nice and early to get unpacked. His set-up is very impressive and looks very smart/professional. He played exactly what my guests asked for (ranging from Beatles to heavy metal!) and was charming with every single one of them. James also did us an enormous favour on the night in getting up and drumming with our band for a couple of songs (without practice!) which just adds another string to his bow. James' services don't just stop at being a 'top dee-jayuh' - he plays the piano beautifully. I've heard him play many times and even have one of his CDs in my car. This guys talent shows no end and I would truly recommend him to anyone (and everyone)."
