"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."

"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. "

"Michael was the organist for our wedding, and we could not be happier with his services. He knew all the songs we asked of him, was early to the church (which on a stressful day was a godsend), was smartly attired. He was also very polite and kept good communication from the moment we made an enquiry. Would happily deal with again. "

"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. "

"I was very pleased with everything on the day. Your approach to the whole process was reassuring and gave me confidence that the music was something I need not worry about. Many of those present expressed how the organ had been important and lent much to the service. Thank you."

"We contacted David a couple of weeks before our wedding asking him to play Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on the organ as we walked out of church, he nailed it in one, recommended to anyone looking for an organist for there wedding. "

"Des has played in our Village church on several occasions now ... including a wedding and services with small and large congregations. His sensitivity and versatility enable him to perfectly meet the musical needs of any occasion. His encouraging and lively style made even a congregation of 14 feel to be part of a larger lively congregation; and his subtle use of his jazz background makes a traditional service sound fresh and exciting. Thanks Des!"

"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! "

"Mark really helped to make our wedding super special and set the tone with his excellent and engaging music. He was a pleasure throughout, making things easy for us and obviously put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes - his music from the church and the reception was one of the main talking points of the day - people are still talking about his atmospheric rendition of the Game of Thrones theme in the church! We couldn't recommend Mark enough - he obviously loves what he does - and that comes through in all his performances and created a wonderful atmosphere right from the start of our special day."

Thank you Will and Sarah for your great review! I'm really pleased that everyone present enjoyed the music in church, and after at the wedding breakfast in the barn. I particularly enjoyed using the little Victorian organ alongside my keyboard in the church, it gave me the sound variations that I needed to play all of your requested music authentically - yes, Game of Thrones was a blast, and then exiting to Dire Straits 'The Walk of Life' worked brilliantly! It was lovely to meet you finally after nearly a years planning, thank you again for choosing me, keep in touch. Mark (May 2016)

"I can't recommend Mark enough. From the first time we spoke he has been a consummate professional. Mark's organ and piano playing are second to none and made our wedding day at Hengrave Hall even more special. We originally booked Mark for the Church Service, however after talking to him on the phone and hearing his passion and flare we booked him to play the piano during our wedding breakfast too. Mark is flexible, accommodating and has ideas that spark your imagination! We even had Metallica's Nothing Else Matters on the piano at one point - amazing! Thank you ever so much Mark! We will be using you again."

Thank you Mr and Mrs Titmarsh, it was an honour to play for your wedding! I'm so pleased that you all had a great day, I really enjoyed playing for you and helping to enhance the grand setting of Hengrave Hall. It was lovely working with you both, discussing and choosing the music in the run up - your mum was also a great help in organising the music. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

"The Kentwood Choir has used Mark as a synth player for many years. As a member of the choir, I can certain vouch for Mark's skill and professionalism - an outstanding musician that truly adds a certain magic to our performances, in particular to large audiences at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon. If you're looking for a great musician, look no further!"
Reply by Mark Burton - Wedding Organist / Pianist
Thanks for your lovely feedback Will, I've been playing for Kentwood for 21 years now. I always look forward to the shows and 'orchestrating' the band - and it's always great to play in the Wyvern Theatre.

"Loved working with James. He's very professional and experienced. He'll easily handle pretty much anything you ask of him. He's played church services, weddings, funerals, classical and more contemporary concert material. Fabulous accompanist but also very talented conductor, orchestra and choir leader. Deep dark sense of humour! If you've read this far - he's your musician, book him."

"Gareth played for my wedding at very short notice. He is very professional, easy to work with and an excellent organ player. He played some difficult organ music, accompanied a singer and also learnt a piece of music for me at about 48 hours notice then played it brilliantly. Guests at the wedding commented on how good his organ playing was. Highly recommended!"
