Review Centre: Pianists & Keyboardists

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Alex play piano at our wedding, and he was fantastic from start to finish. He was so easy and relaxed to work with—completely stress-free. He quietly set up in the room and just did his thing, creating a beautiful atmosphere without needing any direction. Before the day, he asked us for a few of our favorite songs and thoughtfully included them in his playlist, which made everything feel so personal. The sound of the piano was stunning and added such a special touch to the whole day. We absolutely loved having Alex as part of our celebration and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for live music at their wedding. Book him—you won’t regret it!"

"Michael played our wedding entrance and exit on the organ, all I can say is - WOW!! Michael is such a talented musician. It added the perfect sprinkle of tradition to our ceremony and something our guests are still talking about. Thank you so much Michael. "

"Alex was an absolute joy to work with! Incredibly professional and a truly wonderful pianist, he catered to all musical tastes—young, old, and everyone in between—at my son’s birthday party. He helped make an already special day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We would highly recommend Alex to make any occasion extra special. "

"Hi Bradley, Thank you so much for Saturday! You have honestly been an absolute pleasure to deal with which makes a huge difference within the stress of an event. It's very rare our piano ever gets played so it was wonderful to listen to you playing it so beautifully during the champagne reception. Simply stunning. Thank you for letting my cousin and Grandad join in for a duet :) I'm certain that we will be in touch again soon for another family event. All the best, Hannah."

"Vikki, as we say in East Yorkshire, is a 'good 'un'. Apart from being a superb musician on both cello and electric piano, she is a very pleasant, professional person and made us feel very much at ease in the lead up to her performance. Vikki performed during what was probably the noisiest part of her event so full marks to her for playing in 'testing' circumstances, she received a standing ovation from her audience and this was richly deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend Vikki and she will certainly be very welcome back at Kilpin anytime."

"Dez was recommended to us by Tibberton Church warden and he fitted in with all the plans for our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding in September 2021. He played the organ superbly before and during the service but also played the saxophone to accompany their exit song ‘All you need is love’ by the Beatles adding a fantastic extra vibe to this joyful fun-filled occasion. We can thoroughly recommend him. "

"My sister’s wedding was a small, intimate fun one and Nigel on piano was an important part of creating the warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We told him what we wanted, and Nigel got on with it. I would not hesitate to recommend him. It was a special day made even more special by Nigel, Thank you!"

"We wanted to thank you so much for playing at our wedding last month. The music sounded beautiful and very fitting for our ceremony. Lots of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it and I could hear the Wedding Day at Troldhaugen as I walked up to the aisle which sounded amazing."

"What an incredible musician—and just such a lovely person to have at our event! We had so much positive feedback from our guests, and we were absolutely blown away by Dan’s talent. He brought such a great energy to the evening and really helped make it special. He played a brilliant mix of songs, some of which we’d requested beforehand, and was more than happy to take requests on the night too—even managing to play songs he didn’t already know, which really impressed everyone! Nothing was too much trouble, and it was clear he genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!"

"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! "

"Fantastic Wedding Pianist. Could not recommend Matt enough, the music was excellent. It made the day extra special and we received lots of comments from our guests complimenting the music. Matt was really helpful before the day in helping us to choose the background and ceremony music."

"Robert Dimbleby, The man, The Musician. I first met Robert Dimbleby on a rehearsal with a local Derbyshire blues band named "The King B's" in 2015, when Robert was still a teenager, I was immediately struck by his technical facility, but was most impressed with his soulful musical feel and how pleasant he was to work with. We ended up jamming a couple of Herbie Hancock tunes and I decided I had to have this guy in my band!! Robert joined my band SoulDeep shortly after and has remained with my band ever since, playing on numerous gigs and studio recordings, covering the likes of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, The Crusaders, Donny Hathaway, Joe Sample, Tower of Power, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, plus numerous Motown, soul and jazz classics. Over the years I have observed Robert develop and grow as a musician and a man, I cannot speak highly enough of him. The perfect musician and a genuinely beautiful soul. George Grignon, professional drummer and band leader of over 45 years. "

"Alice was absolutely fantastic, from the comms beforehand to on the night, she really created a wonderful atmosphere during my book launch. People loved that she could do requests and she frequently gave me shout outs and reminded people what the event was all about as well. An absolute professional, great vocals and a joyful energy to be around. I'd highly recommend her for your event!"

"Stephen played for us all day on a Sunday as part of our celebrations for the Hampstead Big Fair 2024. As guests moved around the House and through our exhibition spaces, he played a fantastic repertoire of jazz classics and some lively classical pieces. Stephen was brilliant! We had lots of positive comments from visitors, many of whom sat and listened to him playing throughout the day. He's also a really lovely person, and just gets on with playing!"

"We met Nigel at an open day at our wedding venue and we (and our grandparents) loved his music and charm, and felt it would add a real personal touch to the wedding. We were absolutely right. Nigel’s communication was excellent from day 1 and it was so lovely to hear he approved of our (fairly niche) ceremony music choices. On the day we got very lucky to have an outdoor ceremony and this was no trouble for Nigel at all, who played beautifully, matching all the songs played to the specific ones we had requested for particular moments (which ended up being played for a little longer than planned as I was running late - sorry Nigel!). So many of our guests commented on how lovely the piano and playing was and it was so nice when our guests got excited about recognising the specific songs. Thank you so so much for being a part of our special day Nigel, we would absolutely recommend you to anyone!!"
