"From start to finish, Mark was absolutely incredible. We hired Mark to play at our wedding, alongside a choir that he had never performed with before, and his performance was amazing. He kept in touch with us throughout and helped us to work out what would work best for our ceremony. The result was fantastic and we had so many compliments about the music during our ceremony. We cannot recommend him enough, thank you Mark! Xx"

"Laurence played at our Golden Wedding Anniversary and his lovely music made it a fantastic evening. He included many of my favourite songs and was really friendly and approachable...well done, Laurence!"

"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)

"Booked with just a week to go before the event Mark was the consummate professional! From phoning me to chat and get a better feel for the event and the demographic of the guests to arriving early to set up and playing a wide variety of music in a responsive and sensitive way - everything was perfect. Many thanks Mark for creating an ideal atmosphere for us all, dancers and non dancers, ages 8 to 88! Mark's the man for your get-together no matter what kind of event it is!"

"We met Mark few weeks before our wedding. He was very friendly, nice and we immediately felt like we are in good hands. His skills are truly excellent. We have picked quite an unusual style of songs for our wedding ceremony and we were concerned we won't find anyone who would be suitable to meet our expectations. Mark not only met our expectations but he made the ceremony unforgettable! Walking down the aisle felt like in a fairytale. I would definitely recommend Mark to all couples for their wedding ceremony. Mark - HUGE THANK YOU for everything! Mr & Mrs Frost ;-)"

Thank you for your lovely feedback Viktoria. It was a lovely ceremony, and the medieval chapel in Hengrave Hall made it all the more atmospheric, perfect! Thank you for introducing me to that lovely piano arrangement of the Bridal March, I will be recommending it to future brides! I wish you and James a long and happy marriage, keep in touch x

"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.

"The pianist was incredible, great music choice, he also played the wishes of the guests. It appeared that the same pianist was playing at the event in 2019 when our Lab organised a workshop and dinner in Homerton."

"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)

"Adam was a recitalist at one of my concerts and played an amazing evening of awesome music. His personality shone through his performance and I would have no hesitation in getting him back for a repeat show after hearing how everybody loved him and his music."

"I just wanted to say a big thank you from me and Chris. Sorry for getting in touch so late but we have just come back from the honeymoon. Everything in the church was perfect. Thank you again. "

Thank you for your lovely comments Joanna. I really enjoyed playing for your wedding, especially your entrance music 'I'm Kissing You' on the organ. I usually play it on the piano - but it really worked for the organ too. I'm really pleased that it was 'perfect' for you, that is my goal for every wedding! Good luck to you both.

"With a month or so to go before our wedding (July 2015) we found ourselves without an organist. Not knowing quite what to do next, we turned to Google and found Lastminutemusicians.com. Choosing an organist from the site was such a daunting prospect given how important the organist's role was to be and not knowing if the person we would end up choosing would be any good! After a number of replies from other performers we chose Mark and we couldn't have been in better hands. Mark is a true professional and a talented performer. He is eager to please, vastly experienced and could adapt most songs/pieces of music for the organ. A week or so before our wedding, and in his own time, he visited our chapel and familiarised himself with the organ he would be playing. We also spoke frequently on the phone to discuss our thoughts regarding what we wanted to be performed and he also provided helpful suggestions and ideas without 'taking over'. On the day itself he was prompt, well presented and played beautifully. Thank you again Mark for your contribution to our special day, I really can't recommend you enough...in fact two of the guests at our wedding used Mark as the organist at their wedding having been impressed, I'm sure, at what they heard!"

Mark and Di - the pleasure was all mine! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the Binns Organ in Queens College, Cambridge - it was a treat for me too as an organist. I'm pleased that you were happy with my performance on such a hot day, the organ took time to set up for the wedding, but it was worth it. And, I got to do it all again in August for your friends wedding in the same chapel!

"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's repertoire during our wedding breakfast was amazing. We Cannot thank him enough for the musical accompaniment to our special day. He is very warm and friendly, and communication was excellent. Andy and I can't recommend him highly enough - he played our favourite songs on request with gusto and our guests loved every minute! A great addition to our venue at Stratton Court Barn, Oxfordshire."
