"Robert played the perfect soundtrack to our wedding day, one that we'll never forget! He happily played our requests (at perfect times too which we hadn't even thought of!) And just made the whole process from start to finish so seamless. He had such a wide repertoire for us to choose from which our guests commented on how much they loved, and was such a kind and friendly presence to have around us on our special day!"

"We were stuck for entertainment due to a cancellation. I got in touch with David as he rehearses with one of his groups over the road and they always come in for a drink after their rehearsal. At short notice he arranged to come with his piano and to bring some singers to help out. It was amazing and we had so much fun. He was so adaptable and we are already booking him for next year. "

"Don't look anywhere else for your live music! Initially we had planned our ceremony music to be a Spotify playlist played through the venue's facilities. We are so thankful to have found Piano Matt! We saw him at a wedding fayre at our venue (Arley House) and remembered him playing Robert Miles - Children. Having come in under budget and seeing a post Matt was tagged in at Arley House, we did some more research. We were pleased to see that Matt was very reasonably priced and contacted him, interested in him performing at our ceremony. My husband and I are big music lovers and there was a loose music theming to our wedding. We wanted something unique and gave Matt what some may call a bizarre brief for a Pianist...britpop, 80s, 90s dance. We also had a request for Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train as guests were being seated due to a loose family tie and it being the Aston Villa entrance song. Who'd have thought this was possible on a piano but Matt smashed it! I'd always wanted Pachelbel's Canon to walk down the aisle to but also loved I'll Be There For You by The Rembrandts. Matt suggested a mash up of the two and boy did he deliver. I'm a bit gutted I missed the guest seating background music ? I love Harry Potter, hubby loves Star Wars and again, Matt's pianist mash up skills stuck again! Utter perfection! Matt was polite, professional and so down to earth from the moment we first started communicating. The video call as part of the planning process was a great way to 'meet' Matt and discuss 'us' and what we were after to make our ceremony truly unique. Matt, it was a pleasure having you perform during our ceremony, thank you for making it so special for us. Nothing was too much to ask of Matt who even helped with the errand of chasing down my maid of honour for my bouquet for our professional photos. Would definitely recommend Matt to anybody considering live music during their wedding day. We loved you as did our guests! ❤️ Aisle walk - Pachelbel Canon / I'll Be There For You Register signing - Star Wars / Harry Potter Exit music - You've Got The Love- Candi Staton"

"Last Minute Sirens performed at my wedding ceremony and reception at Quendon Hall and we were delighted with their professionalism and music. They were great communicators and took into consideration our song requests for our special day and all of our guests spoke very highly of them. I can't recommend them enough!"

"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!

Thank you Suzanne for your very kind comments. Yesterday I played at a DIAMOND Wedding Anniversary, so who knows - I may be able to be of service to you in ten years` time! Best wishes, Laurence.

"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. "

"Richard made contact before the event to cover any detail. He was a delightful addition to the entertainment adding that little touch and making the meal memorable for all."

"I have asked Ben to help out on several occasions when organising high level events for a variety of clients. These have ranged from the Champagne Academy, the annual banquet for the Reunion de Gastronomes at Ironmongers' Hall, the annual dinner for the Confrerie du Sabre d'Or, and even cabaret performances at Jermyn Street Theatre. Ben is very versatile, will play all music types, and is a true professional, arriving early, responding to communication and always looking the part."

"Sarah played for us at our wedding. We hadn't met before but I had heard a couple of her demo tracks online and I thought her voice was perfect for a church wedding, I was certainly not disappointed! All of our guests have commented on how beautiful the music was and I can't agree more. Having a professional singer to help the congregation out with the church hymns made the singing so uplifting which was exactly what I wanted for our wedding day. Sarah was more than happy to accommodate any requests that I made and even helped me to organise for a poem I recorded to be played in the church before I walked down the aisle. I had contacted a few musicians for quotes and was shocked at how expensive it could be but Sarah's quote was extremely reasonable and it was money so well spent! I can't thank Sarah enough for making our wedding ceremony so beautiful! "

"Hi Bradley, we have now returned from our Honeymoon and I just wanted to say Thank You for your performing at our day. It was fantastic from start to finish, the tracks during the ceremony were perfect, as was the playing in wedding breakfast. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed your playing and also loved singing along!"
