"Lester played classical piano at our church wedding ceremony, alongside an operatic vocalist. The pieces of music that Lester played blew our guests away and was one of the highlights of our big day. Lester even went to the effort of independently communicating with the vocalist in advance of the wedding day and they met for a rehearsal on the morning of the wedding. My wife and I really appreciated the efforts that Lester went to in order to make the ceremony so special. Everyone loved the pieces of music so much and it really contributed to the joyful atmosphere in the church. A hugely talented pianist, complete professional and a lovely guy. Couldn't recommend more highly!"

"We hired Matt for our sisters wedding drinks reception, very last minute. He got back to us right away with a response and his availability. Matt was unbelievable; He was very accommodating to us due to a change of plan on the day with our schedules running late! We had originally booked Matt for 2-3pm but this changed last minute and Matt was completely flexible with this which we appreciated so much. He was very welcoming towards the guests from what we had seen and heard. He was flexible with this performing, with 1 guest asking him to play the James Bond theme tune ? He also learnt a bollywood song for us and sent us over a recording of this to keep which we loved so much as because we were so late with everything on the day some of us had missed the time to enjoy this time ☺️ He even took part in our dress code. Just amazing and can’t wait to hire Matt again for future occasions ? Thanks for everything Matt ?"

"Chris is highly recommended for a wedding. He was so helpful during the planning stages, with quick replies and replying to any questions asked! On the day he was fantastic and delivered exactly what was asked, so many guests commented on how great he was on the day."

"I knew the moment I heard Jon's demo tracks on the web that he was the musician for my wife's 65th Birthday Party. Jon easily met and exceeded expectations. We asked him to play Porter and Gershwin songs such as "True Love" and "Embraceable You". Jon plays with such style, it's a joy to listen. Jon had a foot injury and his tennis buddy Ian brought him to our place. Gosh, Ian's also an great pianist. My wife loved their duet of Joplin's "The Entertainer". I played a broad repertoire of "cocktail piano" standards such as "San Francisco" and "To make you feel my love.". I've been looking forward to this party for a year and so happy with the performance. Now I'm going to cook up another excuse for a party so that we can invite Jon to play again. Thank You, Jon. 10/10. Couldn't be better."

"Saw Jack busking when on holiday and was transfixed by his talent. A number of months later I was hosting a garden party and knew that Jack would be perfect for the entertainment. From the first initial contact he was friendly and professional, and I booked him for our do! Jack arrived promptly and set himself up ready to showcase his talents. Jack really is incredible on the piano, his passion for playing and creating music shines through. He played a huge range of songs that suited the mood and style of our party perfectly, and even gave us an encore! Everyone was blown away by his playing and I was thrilled with his service. I would absolutely hire Jack again, and would recommend him to anyone wanting a brilliant pianist with a modern twist!"

"Mark’s music wrapped our celebration dinner in a happy cocoon of elegance and joyful memories . When my Dad started singing along to his favourite old songs I knew Mark was a winner. His remarkable versatility made the evening so vibrant with achingly beautiful classical pieces and romantic ballads and playful jazz and movie music favourites. Mark is charming and friendly and fun. My advice to myself next time is split the budget between chef and musician. Live music ? ? makes your heart soar. Thankyou Mark - You lifted our dinner out of the ordinary. We can’t wait to invite you back again. "

"Christa played beautifully for our Coronation concert celebration and communicated with the audience with real warmth. She was professional throughout the preparation period with open and clear communication, and was also very flexible and open to requests. I would thoroughly recommend her for your musical event.

"Booked with just a week to go before the event Mark was the consummate professional! From phoning me to chat and get a better feel for the event and the demographic of the guests to arriving early to set up and playing a wide variety of music in a responsive and sensitive way - everything was perfect. Many thanks Mark for creating an ideal atmosphere for us all, dancers and non dancers, ages 8 to 88! Mark's the man for your get-together no matter what kind of event it is!"

"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! "
