"Sebastian played the organ for us at our wedding . The music helped make the wedding ceremony beautiful including playing a special piece for us during signing the register and Sebastian kindly learned two new hymns for us. Would recommend Sebastian to anyone! "

"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!! "

"We hired Shean to play the organ for our wedding ceremony and he was just wonderful, both on the day and when deciding which music to have. Shean suggested some lovely pieces and played everything, including our hymn choices perfectly. We would really recommend him and thank you again Shean! Kind regards, Beth"

"Absolutely fantastic! Gareth was ultra accommodating and truly made our wedding ceremony with his perfect playing. We met him prior to the day and he was so helpful with regard to our music choices. His email correspondence was fabulous and extremely quick. On the day, we had so many comments about Gareth's performance including from our priest who was very impressed and may hopefully book Gareth for a church event in the future! Aside from his general brilliance, he topped my day when he played the Harry Potter theme as we signed the register. It was a tingly moment! We can't recommend Gareth enough. Gareth, thank you so much, we will never forget you"

"Dear Mark, we just wanted to say a massive thank you for doing such a brilliant job playing the organ at our wedding on 6th May. It was just brilliant and so many of our guests have commented on how good you were. You also did a brilliant job accompanying Chris singing, it was all just perfect! "

"We engaged Mark to play for us during our annual conference dinner in the stunning Victorian Gallery of Leicester's New Walk Museum. It was wonderful to hear the gentle sounds of the piano on our arrival as we made our way to the gallery. Mark then continued to play for us whilst having our early evening drinks and then during the meal itself. He thoughtfully kept the lid in place on the museum's grand piano so he did not drown out our conversation, but instead provided a delightful backdrop to it. Mark offered to play requests for us but we did not take him up on this; instead we trusted him to find the right pieces for the evening. He played a wide range of material, including classical favourites, famous film scores, and the latest hits. He set just the right tone for the evening, with the piano offering a delightful accompaniment to our dinner. In such a beautiful setting, we all thought Mark's playing had really made our evening. We really did appreciate it, thank you so much! "

"We used Mark to play the organ at our wedding and he was truly spectacular. Not only did he play the organ but he also played the piano and used his piano to play our entrance music via MP3. He ensured that every single piece of music we loved was played and in the best way. There is nothing Mark is not happy to offer and he truly cares about doing the best for your big day. We were so lucky to have found him to help make our day special. If you need someone for your day, you need to use Mark. He makes everything so easy and perfect for you. Get booking! "

Scarlet, thank you for your lovely remarks. I thoroughly enjoyed playing for your Christmas Wedding in Cambridge, the organ was lovely at the Leys School, enabling me to achieve a lovely cathedral sound during the carols making it even more festive! Thank you for choosing me for your big day. Mark (December 2015)

"Des played at a garden party we had last week. He brought with him a bass player and together they were absolutely perfect, playing their choice of smooth, popular jazz. The music was beautifully delivered and they made such a great accompaniment to the party, the ideal background music to create a warm and swinging atmosphere and a few people couldn't resist a dance. We all loved it, young and old. Des was also highly organised, professional and conscientious. Superb, I would highly recommend Des."

"Having made an aerial video of the Cardston, Alberta Temple (Mormon temple), Alberta Canada I contacted Mark to see if he could compose and play a piece of music that would fit with the video. We were hoping to get something "inspiring" and "moving." What Mark produced was truly inspirational and we knew right away that his music was absolutely perfect and we thank Mark for his wonderful talent. Here is a link for you to enjoy https://vimeo.com/136541192 "

"Dear Gareth, I was delighted with the superb musical accompaniment and support you arranged and gave me, for my mayoral Civic Service at St. Peter's Church, Chertsey. The musical arrangement and organisation for such a high profile event is critical to it's success, and the response I have received with comments pertaining to the music, organ playing and the organ introduction of the trumpeters is full proof that this was achieved at the highest level. I can only express again my sincere thanks and trust that many more will benefit from your exceptional skills and professional talent. I look forward to the next opportunity of us working together. Cllr Derek Cotty Mayor of Runnymede"

"Hi Mark, we wanted to say thank you for your wonderful work on the organ on NYE. I'm sorry that we didn't get to say goodbye, as we were rushed off to do the photos. We and our guests thought the music was brilliant and we really appreciate the care you took in preparation and arriving early to set everything up. "
