"Emily provided the music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at a historic venue. She created two custom arrangements one of which was not, erm a traditional wedding song but came out beautifully on the day. She was also very responsive via email and willingly answered all of our questions about the day. Highly recommend. Thanks Emily! "

"I can't recommend Mark enough. From the first time we spoke he has been a consummate professional. Mark's organ and piano playing are second to none and made our wedding day at Hengrave Hall even more special. We originally booked Mark for the Church Service, however after talking to him on the phone and hearing his passion and flare we booked him to play the piano during our wedding breakfast too. Mark is flexible, accommodating and has ideas that spark your imagination! We even had Metallica's Nothing Else Matters on the piano at one point - amazing! Thank you ever so much Mark! We will be using you again."

Thank you Mr and Mrs Titmarsh, it was an honour to play for your wedding! I'm so pleased that you all had a great day, I really enjoyed playing for you and helping to enhance the grand setting of Hengrave Hall. It was lovely working with you both, discussing and choosing the music in the run up - your mum was also a great help in organising the music. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

"I asked James to play piano at my wedding, he played two songs of our choice played in the church, which were brilliantly done. He then played a wide selection of music at the early evening do which was again stunning. To top it off he then joined a band and played guitar. Total musician couldn’t ask for more, he is a fantastic young man with bags of talent. Thanks again for making a wonderful day even more special. 10/10."

"We were incredibly grateful to Shean for stepping in at short notice to accompany the choir and to perform a few organ solos in our Advent concert; he also played for our rehearsal the day before. Shean's communication leading up to the concert could not have been more helpful or prompt, fees were quickly agreed and within budget. Shean was good fun to work with and very professional, both choir and audience thoroughly enjoyed his playing, and we have no hesitation in recommending him."

"Mark played at my dad’s funeral in the church, and I honestly don’t have the words to express just how incredible he was. From the moment he arrived, early, of course, he took complete control of the music and ensured everything was perfect. As people entered the church, Mark played meaningful music that completely set the tone. It was elegant, thoughtful, and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced at a funeral. It made the atmosphere feel so personal and beautiful, exactly what my dad would have wanted. Later, Mark also played at the celebration of my dad’s life at a stunning manor hotel, and again, he brought everything together with his extraordinary talent and care. He played songs that my dad absolutely loved, weaving them into both the church service and the celebration in a way that was seamless and full of heart. Mark truly exudes talent, but it’s not just his skill, it’s his kindness, his sensitivity, and his ability to read the moment. The day was, of course, deeply emotional and sad, but thanks to Mark, it also felt warm, thoughtful, and full of love. He created something so special. People spoke about the music all day and into the evening, about how moving it was, and how incredibly gifted he is. There is nothing this man cannot do. From hymns to personal favourites, Mark made my dad’s funeral and celebration of life something he would have been truly touched by. I know he would have been overwhelmed to know that someone so talented played for him. Mark, thank you from the bottom of my heart—for your music, your presence, and for helping us honor my dad in the most beautiful way."

"Grant, together with a singer and bass player, played at our Christening garden party and we couldn't have been happier with the band. The music was pitched perfectly for our occasion, providing exactly the lovely relaxed atmosphere for which we had hoped. Grant was very helpful and professional in ensuring our day went smoothly and we hope to find another excuse to book him again soon!"

"Laura played for my wedding on 07/09/2023 and she honestly made my day. Laura is professional from start to finish, incredible at what she does and is just a general beautiful soul. I requested a specific song that she didn’t know and she was more than happy to get learning it and let me tell you, she did an amazing job. Absolutely incredible. So lovely all round and I would 100% recommend her for your special day! "

"Rob was a fantastic addition to our formal reception and seated dinner, impressing our guests from near and far with his expertly executed and tastefully arranged renditions of UK classics. Beyond his exceptional musicianship and the exclusive atmosphere he created, Rob was a true professional—punctual, easy to work with, and able to set up seamlessly with minimal input from our team. This efficiency was invaluable, allowing us to focus on other event logistics. We've received numerous compliments from both guests and colleagues about Rob's contribution to the evening, and we will certainly keep his details on hand for future occasions. Highly recommended!"
