"We asked Des to play the organ at our wedding on 2nd September at Cambray Baptist Church. From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and an utter professional. He didn't bat an eyelid when we asked him to play complex and unusual music and seemed to know all the old fashioned hymns we requested. When the bride was late it didn't phase him and he played continually for over 30 minutes. He mastered the Sound of Music Wedding Processional and the Can Can as well as lots of hymns. He turned up for the rehearsal and on the day was absolutely wonderful. He is extraordinarily talented and a wonderful unflappable musician. We thoroughly recommend Des - he will not let you down! "

"Dez was recommended to us by Tibberton Church warden and he fitted in with all the plans for our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding in September 2021. He played the organ superbly before and during the service but also played the saxophone to accompany their exit song ‘All you need is love’ by the Beatles adding a fantastic extra vibe to this joyful fun-filled occasion. We can thoroughly recommend him. "

"Emily really ended our wedding day perfectly performing at our evening party. She discussed our choices beforehand and was very lovely and helpful. We sent Emily our first dance choice and it was fantastic to hear it performed live rather than play the original track. It was perfect. Our guests loved her. Rob and I would highly recommend. Thank you Emily x"

"I hired Laura to play at my wedding. She was very helpful and communicative the whole time. She has an extensive song list and is happy to take requests! For the wedding we requested a few songs that were not on her list and she gave us consistent updates on her progress of learning them. We were uncertain about how some songs would sound on the piano, so she reassured us on how these were going in her practice. The final result ended up being great on the day! Laura’s music really left an impression on me and my wedding guests. I could hear her doing warm-ups and playing for the guests while I was waiting to walk down the aisle and found her playing to be very calming. During the ceremony all of the songs came out perfectly and created a great ambiance! I’m very grateful for all of her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for an event pianist."

"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 "

"Alex played at our church wedding in September and absolutely made our day. We chose the music for the day and Alex but together a video showcasing the music we had chosen to make sure we were happy with it. On the day it was magical right from the guests arriving to when we left the church. We couldn't have asked for more. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex - live music made it a day to remember. "

"Dez played saxophone and piano at our wedding at the Limes Country Lodge in Earlswood. Dez was recommended by the Limes and we were so happy that he agreed to play at our wedding. Our guests loved the music that Dez compiled for us. The whole day was fabulous but Dez provided that little extra something with the beautiful music . In addition to this Dez was extremely professional… answered messages, queries we had and met with us to discuss our options. If you want to add a little touch of class to your event then we would definitely recommend Dez to make it happen!! "
