"Hi Alan, I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Walking down the isle, while you were playing our favourite song was beautiful and made the day so special. During reception drinks, we had so many compliments on how talented you were and what a lovely addition to our day it was. Your communication throughout the whole process was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed working with you. Your song selection is amazing and very hard to chose from as there are so many great songs that you play! I would highly recommend you for the future. All the best "

"Tom was a pleasure to work with for our dementia friendly tea party run by students at the Arts University Bournemouth. He was very efficient and came at a great price. He played a lovely jazz set for an hour broken up into 3 x 20 minutes slots and was very well received with excellent feedback on the day. Thanks again Tom!"

"Jamie was incredible from start to finish. He was so accommodating even when I completely changed my mind about the music, he was happy to learn our new choices (including AC/DC’s Thunderstruck on piano, which was no easy feat!). Jamie also learnt a song to accompany my friend in her singing which he did so beautifully and He played throughout our wedding day, creating such a lovely atmosphere, and even moved his setup twice so he could perform in different locations nothing was too much trouble. Communication was easy and faultless from start to finish. We’re so happy we chose Jamie; his music added something truly special to our day."

"When I was booking Andrew for my mother's funeral, he gave me a lot of details about the different points at which he could play the pipes, specfically Highland Cathedral. He was extremely helpful, polite and patient with me. I had to discuss and agree the idea of having a piper, with family, the vicar and also the funeral director - the latter heard that I had found Andrew Brian and he told me to book him immediately. It transpires that they had met each other at a previous funeral. So, for me that was endorsement enough. Andrew was marvellous and turned a sad day into something rather fitting and beautiful. I am so grateful."

"Our feedback on Rachael was that she was fantastic. Very professional, very friendly, beautiful music and I would without hesitation recommend her to anyone considering a harpist. The whole process was very smoothly organised and we would also use your agency again."

"We just wanted to say thank you for your helping us find and hire Andrew. He did a great job and sounded great. Please let him know how great we (and all our wedding guests) thought he was as I didn’t have a chance to say hello on the day. "

"I love working with Gareth! He played once again for our Carol Service at St Matthew's on both organ and piano, and was as always totally professional, brilliantly accomplished in his playing and a joy to make music with. I would recommend him unreservedly!"

"Laura is amazing from the initial enquiry though to booking, Laura is very clear on messages and you know what is going be played, I asked for two songs for my wedding entrance and they were sent to me so I had a clear knowledge of what was going to be played. Highly recommend!!"

"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 "
