"I just want to say a massive thank you to Jon for playing at my wedding. Jon you was absolutely amazing, we had so many compliments about you and how they enjoyed the music throughout the day. We booked John for the ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast. Jon is so talented and plays so professionally and elegantly. I was able to choose my own music and have my own playlist for my ceremony. Jon played all my requests to perfection. If you have a wedding or events do not hesitate to book Jon. He truly is amazing!! Thank you so much again Jon, I hope I get to see you play again. Jennifer & James @millingbarn 3/12/22 "

"Last weekend we held a birthday celebration for my 90 year old mother-in-law. We wanted live music to create a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Louise was the perfect choice. Her blend of popular classics, easy-listening and gentle jazz suited the occasion perfectly. She was open to requests from those present and infinitely flexible to fit our party schedule. I have no hesitation in recommending her. "

"Erin played at my daughter's wedding in July. Absolutely wonderful pianist and so helpful and reliable, keeping in contact throughout the run up to the wedding. Very thoughtful as well, playing my daughter's favourite piece while the videographer was filming. Brilliant service and I would recommend her without hesitation."

"Des George is a fantastic keyboard player. For the second year in a row he has led our Christmas Choir to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Des played for 4 hours solid. He is a incredibly versatile musician. He was playing anything from rocking Christmas songs like Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas" through to traditional beautifully played Carols. Thank you Des. You are a star."

"We booked Laura for our special day and she was absolutely wonderful. Laura was very punctual, very professional with a friendly touch. We made a request for Laura to play a specific song and she rehearsed and learnt it within a day or two and sent us an example. Our guests loved her playing the piano and it gave that special touch we wanted to the day. We would definitely recommend Laura she was an absolute pleasure to have at the wedding. Thank you!!!!! "

"Mark's input into my daughter's wedding was incredible! He could not have shown more interest or commitment to making their day really special....from an initial visit to discuss and offer advice on their choice of music, then an extra follow up visit to see the two venues involved and familiarise himself with the church organ (he even managed to arrange a rehearsal of 'Ave Maria' with the soloist at the same time!). Mark's repertoire and versatility are amazing. He played beautiful classical music during the civil ceremony on his top of the range keyboard (adding a dramatic blast of organ for Bach's Toccata and Fugue as the newly weds left the room!); then he dashed across to the village church 30minutes later for a blessing and baptism ceremony, where he played the church organ beautifully, including an improvised medley to fill in a delay at the beginning of the service! Then back to the main venue to play jazz and 'easy listening' music throughout the reception and wedding breakfast!! You name it...Mark can play it! We were so relieved to be able to leave all the musical details in his capable hands. He obviously loves music and it shows! "

Thank you for your fantastic feedback Heather. It was a brilliant day, the weather was great and everything went to plan. I enjoyed using all of my skills...........pianist, organist and keyboard player to play all of the styles of music that you required. It certainly was an unforgettable day, and it was a pleasure to perform for such lovely people in a stunning venue, Narborough Hall. Also, thanks to Georgie and her team for making me feel so welcome, and looking after me rushing around everywhere!

"Nigel is the resident pianist at our hotel and we are always getting such lovely comments about how wonderful his music is. We hired him for our re-branding launch party and couldn’t have asked for anything better. He’s extremely reliable and is always accommodating – I could not recommend him highly enough."

"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)

"Bradley played the piano at an evening drinks reception on 15 June 2017 to mark our firm’s 20 year anniversary. His choice of background pop and light jazz piano produced a wonderful musical backdrop and atmosphere. Bradley was a complete star and I’d highly recommend him."

"Mark, you did an absolutely fantastic job playing for our wedding last weekend. Everybody was talking about how beautiful your playing was. And we LOVED how you rocked up our exit song for us! You did everything we asked for and we really appreciate you learning new pieces especially for our wedding. We had great communication from you and you're a pleasant and friendly person to work with. 10/10! Recommend to anybody!"

Thank you so much Abi! As a wedding pianist it was just perfect for me - a lovely venue and team, the best piano that money can buy, and a wonderful couple and family. Your exit music Queen's 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' was a first - what great exit music! Thanks again for choosing me, best of luck for the future, keep in touch. Mark
