"We are still recovering from Saturday’s wedding but I wanted to thank you for all you did. The service was both happy and moving, the trio was brilliant and the secret performance is still being talked of. It was a truly wonderful day for us. "

"I haven't heard the special opportunity to hear him play in person, I live in the States... but listening to him on Facebook and on YouTube has be an uplifting and cherished event in and of itself. I would recommend him for any event, with he'd travel across the pond.. it would be such an experience. Recommended him very highly, professional competent, and an expert musician, and a beautiful person. Any event, any time, with any amount. Thank you Reviewed by: Audrey Taylor Lewis"

"Sam was excellent, he stepped in at the last minute and helped us out of what would have been an awkward situation for our wedding! His playing was fantastic and he did a great job of playing for the room and incorporating personal touches we had asked him for."

"Gareth we cannot thank you enough for your amazing playing at our wedding last month. You were so accommodating to all our requests and the advice helped us so much. It was so kind of you to drive for 1.5 hours to meet and chat over coffee and we laughed and had so much fun in that planning meeting. All our family and friends commented on your amazing playing which really made our day special. Thank you for sneaking in 'Beauty and the Beast' into the signing of the registers music...even though the vicar said "no" ! That was so sweet of you and made us smile when we heard 'our tune'!!

"Gareth - thank you for again demonstrating your amazing musicianship skills at the superb concert in Claygate the other week. This man has to be heard and seen to be believed ! Classical, show tunes , jazz, duets (with himself !) and virtuoso, colourful performances showing that this man is a true Master of his craft, equally at home on the ORGAN or the PIANO or in the case of one of his own arrangements, darting between the 2 with energy and an engaging enthusiasm for every genre of music. If you are looking for an Organist or Pianist or Accompanist for any occasion get in touch with Gareth - as has been said here before, he is the consummate musician. Thank you Gareth for sharing your art and music with so many. All the best from George."

"We contacted Laurence through this site to play during our ceremony at Stoke Park Pavilions. He was extremely helpful and accommodating, going out of his way to play the songs that we wanted and accompanying the Bride's Soprano Mother whilst she sang a song for us. We cannot recommend him enough and our only regret is not having the opportunity to say thank you after the ceremony (photographs etc etc). So thank you Laurence, many of our guests commented on your superb playing."

"I can honestly say that our wedding of 14 people would not have been complete without Mark! He was wonderful, he has such a brilliant way of filling the entire space and connecting people with music. Mark was able to make the most of instruments that have not had much use nor care during the pandemic and produced the most wonderful sound with them. Mark made both the more classical organ pieces and contemporary piano songs sound amazing, making hairs stand on end with the power of the music. More importantly, Mark was truly a part of our party, interacting and making it more fun alongside everyone. Thank you! Thank you so much for being absolutely brilliant, could not recomend anyone more highly and will certainly be contacting again in the future."

"Robert played a lovely selection of music - some of our choosing, some of his and some of the residents' requests. Most popular with the older people were his medley of war-time songs and some Frank Sinatra tunes whereas we marginally younger folk enjoyed the Beatles medley. The organ concert made a very pleasant occupation for a cold, early-winter afternoon. We would highly recommend Robert Baker for such a function and maybe next time we'll invite his wife along to come and sing with/for the residents, too. "

"Mark, thank you so much for playing the organ and piano so beautifully at my Wedding Ceremony, I’ve never heard our organ sound so good. So many guests commented on how lovely the music sounded too. I also really appreciate the help that you gave my Dad before the ceremony, whilst rehearsing his songs, your accompaniment on the piano was just perfect! We really couldn’t of asked for a better organist, and would recommend you to anyone, thank you."

"Mark is a very experienced pianist and he can absolutely add wonderful atmosphere to the wedding. We only had a few conversations before our wedding, and we sent 20-30 list of songs only several weeks prior to the wedding date. Some of the songs were from China and Mark played perfectly by following the list. I am really suprised that Mark can play it all and he played amazingly. Again, lot of thanks, we felt lucky by inviting Mark as our wedding pianist. "

"Anthony played beautifully for our wedding! We requested some difficult repertoire which Anthony played flawlessly and with such expression. He even prepared a new piece for our signing music. Anthony was happy to consult with us to make sure we were completely happy with our music selections. We ended up with a mixture of his suggestions and our requests which worked perfectly on the day! Thank you Anthony!"
