"Lewis gave a brilliant performance of my After Ives... for piano set at St. John's, Smith Square (London) which was not only technically but theatrically a real tour de force! I was thrilled by his performance at every level."

"Nigel is fantastic! We booked him for our wedding ceremony and welcome drinks and he made every bit really special. He was conscientious and thorough in finding out what music we wanted for specific parts of the ceremony and our general music tastes so he could drop favourite songs in throughout the time he was playing. Our guests were delighted and we've received so many positive comments - we even hear he was taking requests from some of the audience and we know he kept them very entertained! Thank you again Nigel, and we would thoroughly recommend to anyone thinking of booking a pianist for an event - go with with Nigel!"

"It was wonderful having Roger play at my celebration. He provided music that was good to listen to and did not drown out conversation. All friends and family thought he was marvelous. Thank you so very much. If you are thinking of employing Roger please do you will not be disappointed."

"Thank you for being so flexible and quick to respond with our requests for songs and set up! Having two pianos to transition from the ceremony to the reception space made the afternoon flow seamlessly. We were loved your performance in the build up to the ceremony and it set the tone perfectly. Both we and all the guests really enjoyed your repertoire during the drinks reception. We will definitely be recommending you to any friends that have events or weddings in the future!"

"Nigel played for our wedding in December at Prestwold Hall. His music was truly beautiful and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. Having the piano in the background created a lovely atmosphere for our guests as they arrived and waited for our ceremony to begin, and was beautifully uplifting as we walked out as husband and wife. Our venue has multiple rooms that guests can choose to mingle in, and I’ve had so many of them tell me how surprised they were that Nigel was still playing in our ceremony room after our photographs. The process of booking was really quick and easy, and Nigel was a real professional throughout the whole process. Having live music added the most special touch to our day. ’d book Nigel time and time again - thank you so much. "

"Absolutely Fantastic! Piano Matt was fantastic during the lead up to and on our wedding day. Nothing was too much to ask. He created a completely bespoke package for us and was so adaptable, understanding and responded to our messages very quickly! He was amazing and we had so many compliments about his music on the day! He sang our first dance song and it was magical. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone thinking for an amazing pianist."

"Richard played the beautiful peace Canon D for our wedding walk as well as some other pieces for the walk-out and wedding reception which turned out amazing. He was a delight to work with and incredibly flexible with our requests and fast at responding to emails. We felt that it really helped to add to the atmosphere and ambience of the day and would recommend this to everyone!"

"We booked Jamie to play piano for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made.

"Jamie played our wedding ceremony at Crear Weddings on November 4th, 2025. He was such a dream to work with. His repertoire is vast and musicianship immense. His musicality is so moving, and he played with such elegance and emotion that our guests are still complimenting us on our choice of ceremony music. We cannot recommend Jamie enough for weddings, or any event you feel a pianist of his high calibre may be needed. He is a true artist and we are so deeply grateful to him for all of his kindness, his music, and his artistry. He made our day so special. We will never forget him and how he completed our ceremony with his beautiful piano playing"

"Richard played at our wedding in August. I wish I could knew how to find the review page- as I would put 5 stars!!! Richard played endless amounts of beautiful music- from when we walked out after the ceremony to the wedding breakfast. The music was perfect and Richard played some songs that we asks for. Richard even announced myself and my husband as the new Mr and Mrs for the wedding breakfast! Thank you so much for making our wedding that extra bit special! We are so happy we booked you to play"

"We hired Matt to play for a Christmas drinks and dinner party and he was absolutely fantastic! His music truly made the night - a beautiful mix of classic and contemporary. All the guests commented on how wonderful it was to have live music of such incredible quality. Matt was also the consummate professional - arrived on time, he was smartly dressed, and brilliant company to have in our home throughout. We can’t recommend him highly enough and will definitely be booking him again for our next event. Thank you again, Matt! "

"We wanted to thank Laurence for coming and playing the piano at our party at the end of September. We all enjoyed it very much! It was my husband's birthday party and Laurence helped us create an unforgettable, beautiful piano evening for all of us! We will be very happy to invite him again to play for special occasions for our friends and family. Thank you very much again, Laurence and we wish you all the very best with your work that brings so much joy to so many people. Larissa and Mark from Rutland"

"Nigel played during the wedding ceremony. The step up was beautiful and loved how dressed up Nigel was for the wedding. His timing was impeccable and acoustics on the speaker was excellent considering the ceremony was outside with the wind blowing. Amazing job Nigel"
