Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"We hired Mark for our wedding and from start to finish he was absolutely incredible. We went through several months of planning where Mark not only suggested some great songs but accommodated a number of our own special requests. On the day his experience really paid off as he combined the church organ with his own digital keyboard, which was perfect for the traditional yet upbeat mix of songs we were looking for. Mark also played the piano during the wedding breakfast and we were inundated with comments on how good he was. It is obvious why he has been chosen to play at such top London restaurants (we even had dinner at the Gilbert Scott before the wedding just so we could hear Mark play and we was fantastic as ever). As well as a gifted musician Mark is also the ultimate professional, always available to talk and quick to respond to any issues. He even worked closely with our singer to ensure they had the correct versions of each song we requested. He took all the stress out of managing the music in the build-up and on the day, something which we found invaluable with everything else that goes with planning a wedding. If you need an organist/pianist for any event we simply cannot recommend Mark highly enough! "

Reply by Mark Burton - Wedding Organist / Pianist
James, thank you for such a lovely review. It was a lovely day, and very busy for me at Hengrave Hall - after nearly a year in the planning it was good to see everything running like clockwork on the day. I wish you both a great future, please keep in touch and come and see me at the Gilbert Scott sometime!

"Sarah did a wonderful job playing and singing at our wedding ceremony. We only wish the ceremony had been longer and we could have heard her play and sing for more time! Having found her on the internet we were a little unsure of what to expect especially as our wedding was in Norfolk and she was based in London. We needn't have worried though. She was professional throughout, competetitvely priced and exceeded our expectations. She was at the venue on time and did exactly what was asked of her. Sarah is a very talented musician and I wouldn't hesitate in reccomending her services."

"We had Jamie play at our ceremony at Winton Castle, honestly everything was perfect. We had a list of songs and hymns that we wanted to play and there were no issues whatsoever. Jamie is a great piano player and we got numerous compliments on how good the music was during the ceremony. Would recommend him to anyone ! "

"We met Nigel at an open day at our wedding venue and we (and our grandparents) loved his music and charm, and felt it would add a real personal touch to the wedding. We were absolutely right. Nigel’s communication was excellent from day 1 and it was so lovely to hear he approved of our (fairly niche) ceremony music choices. On the day we got very lucky to have an outdoor ceremony and this was no trouble for Nigel at all, who played beautifully, matching all the songs played to the specific ones we had requested for particular moments (which ended up being played for a little longer than planned as I was running late - sorry Nigel!). So many of our guests commented on how lovely the piano and playing was and it was so nice when our guests got excited about recognising the specific songs. Thank you so so much for being a part of our special day Nigel, we would absolutely recommend you to anyone!!"

"Absolutely amazing!! Robert played for our wedding and was just super. Arrived early, all prepared and just left him to perform. He knew when to take breaks and each song led perfectly to the next. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you 😊 "

"We booked Nigel to play at home for my mum and dad's 50th wedding anniversary, as my dad was ill, and it was just a few of us. Nigel was an absolute gem of a find. In my initial dealings with him he was really quick to get back to me with replies to all my questions, he was helpful and very efficient. On the actual day he was so sensitive and attentive - we couldn't have found a better person to handle a very personal and intimate moment for the family. Nigel played all the music that my dad used to play so it was very emotional. He was so sociable, laughed along with us and he was just such a pleasure to have in the house. Nigel was able to create a memory for everyone there that we will never forget. My mum and dad have photos of the event up on the wall as they loved it so much. He was extremely quick and discreet in setting up and dismantling everything. Thank you Nigel - you really did make magic happen on that day - I couldn't recommend you highly enough to anyone looking for someone who is sensitive and incredibly professional. My only complaint is that time flew so fast and before I knew it it was over and I wished it could have gone on for so much longer! Thank you Nigel!"

"Absolutely fantastic! If you’re going to do anything for your wedding then this should be it! It was the best decision we made and it had such an amazing impact on the day. Walking down the isle is such a special moment and Nigel just topped it off, he made sure the right part of the song was played at the right time and it was just beautiful! Nigel played for our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast, I loved that he was there for all three of these moments because it just continued to create an amazing atmosphere! He also took requests from our guests, which they loved! Nigel played so many amazing songs that we all loved and we can’t thank him enough for making our day even more special! He even took short videos of moments throughout the day which he shared with us, moments that we would never be able to capture ourselves so we appreciated this so much!! 1000% recommend! "

"Hi Bradley, just a quick message to thank you for your lovely tunes during our wedding. Our guests loved having a pianist on the day and had a lot of fun playing guess the song. :) I hope you've enjoyed the day. Thank you once again! Best, Sara and Dimas"
