"We were privileged to have North East Serenade for the first part of our son's wedding. This helped create a great atmosphere pre and post ceremony. They have an extensive repertoire from which to choose and will even arrange requests as long as they are given adequate notice. We are very pleased that they were able to attend and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"There is not enough space to write about all of Richard's wonderful musical qualities and his super positive personality. He works extremely hard and with passion in all his music projects and performances and has a heart of pure gold. He can play a wide range of musical genres and is never phased by requests for people's favourites. He can play live or produce great quality videos to suit the occasion. Very flexible, being able to play the piano and the organ to a very high standard, complemented by his compere Rowen, they make a perfect team. Always pleases his audience, with a big smile, great sense of humour and plays the music perfectly, Richard is definitely our number one choice!"

"Dear Gareth, Thank you for the crash course Grade V Theory you gave to my recalcitrant son ! We were delighted with his 97% pass as we did not truly believe it possible for him to pass at 66% let alone a high 'distinction' ! To drag him up to that level in less than a term is amazing. Most importantly you made the lessons fun and none of the family have ever thought of Music Theory as fun ! Your mnemonics, rhymes, illustrations, analogies and energetic PHYSICAL (!!!) demonstrations really hit the right spot and my son often recites the various rules with a smile and can, thanks to your brilliant teaching see how they relate to his practical work on the Saxophone. A by-product of your input has been a renewed enthusiasm to practise his Saxophone - and his teacher has already commented on this and said that he is entering him for his Grade VI Saxophone in November. You are an innovative,entertaining and TRULY INSPIRATIONAL TEACHER. I highly and completely recommend Gareth's teaching, musicianship and caring approach to anyone and EVERYONE ! Thank you again from all of us Sally"

"Nigel played while our guests were seated, during the Bridal Procession, the signing, the Wedding Exit, the Confetti Shoot , the Wedding Couple Entrance and the Wedding Breakfast. It was my wife's idea to have Nigel play at our wedding and after she had the idea I thought that sounds nice and a bit different. It was great to have Nigel play at the wedding and it gave the wedding music a more personal touch than just having recorded music. This was particularly the case with the Bridal Procession when you felt you could have been in a church. Nigel was very professional and unobtrusive. We left him to pick the playlist and he played a great variety of different tunes."

"I really wanted to thank you so much, your playing was amazing and I honestly found myself just sat getting lost in the music throughout the day. It was perfect for setting the different moods needed throughout the day. I will be honest with you we spent a long time deciding whether or not live music was required and I can definitely say it was and it was one of my favourite parts of the day ( other then getting married I suppose 😁). Thank you again it was perfect. "

"Michael played during our reception drinks and also during the meal at my mother’s 80th birthday party last summer. He was punctual and professional and chose a perfect set of music for our event. I’d recommend him any time. "

"We hired Tom to play the piano at my daughters Christening party and would definately hire him again and have already recommended him to friends and family. Tom turned up on time and played beautifully. Everyone commented on how great he was and how nice it was to have live piano music at the party. Tom was friendly and a really nice guy and was also great talking with the kids and took some time to teach them some piano basics when he really didn’t have to. Highly recommend."

"We’re so grateful to have had Damien as our DJ and pianist — he truly made our wedding unforgettable. From the ceremony to the final song on the dance floor, he was flawless. I had some specific requests for the song I walked down the aisle to, and he nailed it — exactly how I envisioned it! That moment meant so much to me, and he made it perfect. Throughout the night, Damien brought the best energy and picked the perfect songs for every part of the evening. He blended in all our requests seamlessly, and everything felt so personal and fun. Our guests had an amazing time — so much so that when it was time to wrap up, they were literally shouting “NOOO!” because no one wanted the party to end! Thank you, Damien, for keeping the dance floor alive, reading the room perfectly, and making our night so special. We can’t recommend you enough! "

"Andrew carried out his duties impeccably. His communication prior to the wedding was quick, precise and clear and we were able to discuss the venue, timings and music lists easily and effectively. On the actual day Andrew arrived early to set up. This was immediately a great help and a cause for some reassurance. Andrew performed brilliantly and in line with his extremely high ability. I recommend him unreservedly, knowing that he will perform superbly and in line to meet needs."

"Jon was an amazing addition to our day, it was a pleasure to have him join us and play throughout our wedding breakfast and ceremony. Everybody has been commenting since, about the songs he played and how they suited the wedding so well. We are honestly so happy with how our wedding went and we could not be more grateful for Jon being a part of making it happen. Jon was on-time, efficient, accommodating and incredibly easy to speak with in the lead up to our wedding. Thank you so much Kayleigh & Shane Churcher"
