"We had the absolute pleasure of having Robbie play at our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better pianist to be part of our special day. From the ceremony to the canapés, his performance was simply flawless, elegant, heartfelt, and full of emotion. What made it even more meaningful was that he took the time to learn and beautifully perform a selection of Indian songs just for us, blending them seamlessly with the rest of the repertoire. So many of our guests commented on how magical the atmosphere felt, and a large part of that was thanks to the music. Robbie was professional, accommodating, and incredibly talented, if you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile and truly put that finishing touch on your wedding day, Robbie is the answer. We’re so grateful!"

"Angeliana helped our 50 Wedding Anniversary to be such a success. She arrived and quietly set up her harp without any fuss and likewise did the same at the end of her performance. The music was lovely and was very much appreciated by all of our guests. I can thoroughly recommend her and would have no hesitation in having her play for me in the future. Well done Angelina."

"Caroline's performance was the high point of our Schubertiad. She gave a fiercely intelligent and delicately beautiful interpretation of 5 impromptus and her account of the Sonata in A minor was masterly and elegant. I have worked with her on several occasions and found her to be thoroughly competent and reliable. Her personality is extremely agreeable and she quickly forms a rapport with her audiences who respond with warmth and appreciation."

"Nigel's piano transformed the atmosphere in the resort bar (at Wyboston Lakes). Delegates heard Nigel playing as they left the dining room and were attracted to stop and listen. We expected the piano to be background music but Nigel chose just the right music and performed so well that many people just listened as to a concert. The overall effect was, as we had hoped, that more people engaged with the evening events and entertainments for the rest of the week. Tremendous success; all thanks to Nigel."

"Nigel played before, during and after the service (At the Cross & Stable Church). He was great to work with and spend time before the ceremony ensuring the playlist was right for us. He learnt some new music which we were really grateful for. He was also happy to accompany other musicians during the service. Our wedding and the following party were all in the same venue and the music was a lovely continuity between the different parts of the wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, and wished we'd had him play for even longer."

"Nigel went above and beyond for our stunning wedding in South Farm, Royston. I wanted to prerecord me singing a levellers song but with tweaked lyrics to walk down the aisle and also to sing our first dance-Annie’s Song ,with Nigel playing live. He spent many hours working on it, and giving me great advice. His playing throughout the day was skillful and everyone enjoyed listening to him. He made our day even more magical and I struggle to get over to him how much we appreciated it! Nigel you are a truly gifted and talented piano playing gentleman! "

"Des was brilliant and listened to our ideas. We wanted a more modern feel to the music played during signing of the Registers and Des gave a list of suitable pieces. He even purchased the music to Elbow One Day Like This. Des slogged his electric piano into Church to get the full effect. He played the traditional hymns on the Church organ. We highly recommend him."

"I worked alongside Jason first for a session at OHTV In which I was so impressed by his ability, humility and workmanship! In also working with him in the London based group Insignia I can wholeheartedly say Jason is an incredible musician, musical and vocal arranger and songwriter! Definitely someone you would want as apart of your project, session or as a musical director or personal tutor. "

Thank you Nigel for entertaining our guests so professionally, we look forward to working with you again."

"I contacted Louise prior to our wedding which was held on the 26 August 2022 at St Mary at the Elms Church in Ipswich. I found Louise very helpful when it came to making arrangements, I planned to hold our reception at the Dove Inn, St Helens Street, Ipswich. One might think this was not a very posh venue for a wedding and one would be right. However, our Beckett family have had very close ties to the Dove Inn since the late 1800s. So, it is a very special place for us and has been a place we meet for birthdays and special evens as well as being a place to go for a quite drink etc. The wedding was held outside at the back of the pub, best described as a semi covered area with very large square canopies. I was surprised that Louise accepted the engagement as it was very apparent that Louise is a very experienced, professional, and celebrated pianist that you would be well suited at very high-class hotels and such events. Plus, she agreed to travel from Diss in Norfolk to play for us. I needed to make more than one last minute adjustments and I found Louise to be very versatile and she clearly understood what I was looking for. We agreed that she would play a mix of classical, light jazz and Frank Sinatra style of music, which Louise played to perfection. I had in the region of sixty-five guests. I originally agreed with Louise to play for two hours, expecting guests to switch off after that as there were no dancing facilities. Louise’s music was so infectiously pleasing to the ear that I asked her to play for another hour, because the atmosphere was electric and I did not want to lose that harmony that she was creating as the hour neared to the end, I begged her to play for another hour, which she agreed to. I have taken time to write this extended review because I am a person that wears my heart on my sleeve, and I am open and honest with everyone. Despite my brief to Louise, that I wanted her to feel like a guest and not just the pianist, I asked her to take regular breaks and participate in the ongoing buffet. I can honestly say that Louise played for four hours almost none stop. In my opinion this was way over the call of duty. I do however have one criticism of Louise if it can be called that. Louise I honestly believe that you should increase your fees. What you did for my wife and my guests was incredible. You made our day extra special, and your fees should be increased for the magical music and memories that you create. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Doug Beckett "
