"5-star Google Review: Nigel provided an amazing musical soundtrack for our wedding day. We got to chose a selection of songs from a very large array of music from Nigel’s repertoire; it was evident that he put in the practice to nail every single note. Nigel also effortlessly took on many special song requests from our guests which went down a treat! Nigel used his creative touch to play the grooms entrance song so that it had more of a meaningful, emotional impact. We can’t recommended Nigel enough!"

"Nigel played his piano at my wedding (At Chicheley Hall) and i was blown away by his music. It was to point and I cant fault him in any way and believe me i can usually find something. It was beautiful. Nigel was dressed smartly and even went out of his way to decorate his piano in the colours I was having as part of my wedding. I would definitely recommend Nigel and you wouldn’t be disappointed. Nigel was a big part of my wedding and I’m glad we bumped into him on the off chance. "

"What a star Dan was throughout the whole process. So flexible, helpful and extremely responsive. It my first experience of booking a musician like this and the whole process has been great, with communication from Encore along the way too. Couldn’t fault any aspect of both the process and the service! Will definitely be back ?? ? ? "

"We hired a really nice barn restaurant for my dad's 70th and Bradley brought his portable piano along and played some of my dad's favourites as well as some classics from Bradley's repertoire. It was a great night, thanks to the brilliant music - cheers, Rob!"

"Alex was an absolute joy to work with! Incredibly professional and a truly wonderful pianist, he catered to all musical tastes—young, old, and everyone in between—at my son’s birthday party. He helped make an already special day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We would highly recommend Alex to make any occasion extra special. "

"Francesca was wonderful, she sang all of our favourite songs beautifully and made our event extra special. She also suggested that she make announcements where needed (that we hadn't thought of) and made my mum feel super special. She was very professional and engaging. I would definitely recommend Francesca for any event!"

"We recently got married at Holmewood Hall in Cambridgeshire and decided it would be lovely to make use of the baby grand piano for our drinks reception. We really struggled to find a local pianist but after much searching online I came across the lovely Nigel who was willing to travel. He had such wonderful reviews, that despite not having actually met him, we decided to book him anyway. From our initial enquiry he was so prompt and professional with organising all the details to meet our requirements, which gave us further confidence we’d made the right decision. On the day he played so very beautifully and it created such a lovely atmosphere in the hall. You’d never have thought it was his first time playing on their baby grand piano. Lots of our guests commented not only on the music but also how nice Nigel was when they had spoken to him. Our two little boys were over the moon when he played them the jungle book medley! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone else looking for their wedding. With heartfelt thanks from, Gemma and Alex Chambers. "

"We have stayed in the hotel before and really enjoyed it, and booked a meal this evening for Valentine’s Day celebration. The food was delicious and the service excellent. There was a pianist (Nigel Hammond) playing a variety of music during our meal which was lovely and really added to the ambience..."

She visited the venue to make sure she had everything she needed and to plan. Her piano playing was so good we had lot sof compliments. We booked her again for a birthday party as well. She even got involved with the karaoke. Highly recommended. Will book again for sure. "
