"Gareth's an absolute gem! We were in desperate need to find an organist weeks before our wedding, as our previous organist had to cancel. I came across Gareth's details and luckily he was available. He came to visit us at my family home where my mum insisted on giving him some of her home made Limoncello :) and even after that he manage to wow us with his music skills, a true talent! Thank you!"

"Good selection of music but it was generally too loud. This could have been because the hall was longer side to side than the width where your combo was playing. Maybe a better sound evaluation ( not sure what the proper term is ) opposite where you are actually playing would enable a better volume appreciation for the assembled guests."

"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"

"Lester provided our church music and hymms for our wedding in September 2018 and was absolutely brilliant. He was great at organising everything with us beforehand and on the day was fantastic. It was stress free as Lester was very reassuring with the whole process and the music we chose was played so well and exactly how we wanted. We wouldnt change a thing, the ceremony was perfect and would highly recommend Lester. Thank you!"

"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! "

"I booked Mark to play a Garden Party that I was hosting at our Garden Centre. Everybody loved his performance and I would hire him again for any future events. Very professional, arrived extra early to set up and also stayed for bit extra too as the crowd wanted more!! He even went around a spoke to some of the guests after he had finished. Brilliant day all round!!"

"Ann’s contribution to our daughter’s wedding was so valuable. We had clear and professional communication throughout the entire process of obtaining a quote, booking and choosing the music. Ann was so flexible with the music choices and was entirely happy to learn some new Welsh tunes which meant a lot to us and some of our guests. The day was perfect and enhanced by the beautiful music that Ann played for us during the ceremony and the drinks reception. "

"We had a great experience with Sebastian. From our first consultation, it was clear that he has a lot of experience and really cares about creating a memorable experience for couples on their wedding day. He was flexible and supportive, offering advice tailored to our vision. He even organised a fantastic trumpeter, which added an extra layer of pizzaz to the ceremony and made our entrance really unforgettable! I also appreciated the offer of booking the choir as well - we ended up having our family members sing for us, but Sebastian did say that he could organise singers on short notice, which would have been amazing had we not had that option. It was a no-fuss experience throughout - he took care of everything and all we had to do was turn up. Sebastian was actually recommended to us by the venue, and I can really see why. I can wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a church ceremony."

"I have worked with Shean for a number of years and he is extremely organised, talented and reliable. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to you. Not only is Shean a fabulous organist, he is an extremely experienced choir trainer and is very good at booking the best singers for the occasion. When you work with Shean, you will be working with the ultimate professional who is excellent at communication (and quick!) Thank you! "

"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!"
