Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"We had asked wonderful Nigel to play prior to our ceremony when guests arrived, throughout the ceremony and then for our drinks reception at the White Horse Tea Green in August 2021. After postponing our wedding from 2020, we decided after seeing Nigel's work to have his wonderful talent for our special day- and we are SO glad we did! From the moment I heard Nigel playing our song to walk down the aisle, I immediately felt emotional- he captured the mood of our entire day perfectly with the variety of songs he played! Nothing was too much trouble before our wedding day and Nigel did everything to make our day run smoothly (even learning additional songs and playing particular favourites for us!) All of our guests commented on how spectacular Nigel was, and it certainly was one of the highlights of our day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone- you won't regret it! Thanks so much again Nigel."

"Mark is an extremely talented pianist. Not only does he play beautifully, his ability to work a piece into a ceremony is quite honestly genius."

"Michael played beautifully at our wedding and was such a joy to work with and involve in our special day. He has a great repertoire of songs, and was able to learn / accommodate additional requests on short notice. He was also able to move his equipment between our two venues quickly. We have no hesitation in recommending Michael for anyone else's special day or event! Thanks to you Michael!"

"Musicianship of this quality is rarely heard, and it was embellished by a highly professional introduction to each item by the likeable and fluent artist. The only criticism was that he could not play for another hour or two, or three… this audience would not have been sated."

"Thank you just doesn't do this justice. We first spoke to Nigel at a wedding fair in MK pre COVID. We requested to hear a handful of songs and he was happy to play them there and then! We knew at that point he had to book him. Nigel was very flexible when needing to rearrange due to COVID and he communicated very effectively throughout this time. On our original date Nigel also posted on social media a preview of our wedding song which was a lovely gesture. On the day Nigel played perfectly and seamlessly moving between rooms without being noticed. He was also very considerate and wanted to check if he was playing too loudly or quietly to ensure everyone was comfortable when sitting for the wedding breakfast. Would highly recommend Nigel for any special day/event. Loved every song he played. "

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Nigel perform at our wedding at Rushton Hall on Easter Sunday. He truly made our special day unforgettable. From the moment he started playing, his talent and passion for music were evident, setting the perfect ambiance for our ceremony. Nigel was not only incredibly skilled but also highly professional and accommodating. He took the time to understand our musical preferences. Each piece was performed with such grace and emotion, adding a magical touch to our celebration. Our guests were full of compliments, many saying it was the best live piano performance they had heard at a wedding. The music flowed seamlessly throughout the event, creating a beautiful and romantic atmosphere that we will always cherish. We wholeheartedly recommend Nigel to anyone looking for a pianist who can bring that ‘something special’ to their event. Thank you, Nigel for being a part of our special day and for sharing your incredible talent with us! Kirsty & Dec x"

"Thank you so much for taking the trouble to send us the list of music played at our Afternoon Tea. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any of my family or friends. You played everything I had requested and more besides. Everyone was delighted with your playing, thank you."

"It's as hard to record a piano successfully as it is to play it - so firstly well done in selecting such an attractive range of music - so many favourites, all beautifully executed. But also bravo to your sound engineer and the Old Grannary people..... it's a true skill placing microphones in just perfect positions and balancing them so well: so as to create that lovely tone of yours that I have been enjoying so. Not too closely recorded (dry) nor too distantly either (wet). Perfect, undistorted tone. You must be very pleased and thankful - as we are, hearing this terrific recording of your piano playing. All captured here most successfully. Congratulations! "

"Tom recently played at my wedding in May 2018. He made our special day that extra bit special and I could not thank him enough for that. He played so flawlessly throughout the day, even covered pieces of music we had requested for certain parts of the ceremony. We feel very lucky and appreciative to have had Tom perform on our big day. If you are looking for a professional pianist to make your day that extra bit special, regardless of the event, I genuinely could not recommend Tom highly enough. "

"Shean played the organ in our small church for our wedding. He was very helpful and communicative with our questions, happy to offer music recommendations and also play particular music personal to us. On top of all of that, he played beautifully."

"Simon and Sarah played at my recent daughters wedding celebration, At Trevenna Barns Cornwall in July 2017. The music was fantastic and went down a storm with my guests who loved the variety of well known tunes they played. They were extremely professional and prompt, from our initial emails to the event itself. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to add something unique to their special event!"
