"Gareth thank you for your stunning playing at our wedding last month. We were so lucky to find you at short notice and really appreciate the time, care and calming humour you brought to us in our planning coffee. Gareth Giles is a truly lovely man to work with and made all our musical dreams come true with apt suggestions and help with the detailing of the order of service. His playing is pure genius and any couples reading this looking for a highly talented, experienced church musician who also happens to be a lovely, funny man to work with should NOT hesitate to book him - you will not be disappointed. Fantastic music flows from this man Thanks again GG and keep in touch"

"Jamie was a true highlight of our wedding day. From the moment guests arrived to the final notes of our drinks reception, his piano playing created a beautiful, intimate atmosphere that perfectly suited Neidpath Castle’s historic charm. He stepped in with grace and professionalism after our original entertainment plans fell through, and his musical choices were thoughtful, elegant, and deeply moving. Several guests commented on how his playing elevated the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony and drinks reception musician."

"Just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you for the amazing music you played on Friday. I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to come over and say Hi, but time seemed to fly and before I knew what was happening it was time for the speeches. You really helped achieve the relaxed, happy feel I wanted for the first part of the wedding party, so thank you once again. Charlotte"

"Angelina played at my son's wedding. Given her training and background it was in no doubt that she would be able to play. Her wedding music was indeed delightful. A number of guests commented on how inspired it was to have hired a harpist because her playing was beautiful and relaxing and filled the air without being over powering. (It wasn't really my idea though. I saw from the wedding venue site that others had employed a harpist!) Additionally, Dealing with Angelina was simple and straightforward. I would recommend her to everyone. Even my dad was impressed."

"George's music has a unique, intricate and infectious sound which is a joy to listen to. George perfectly captured the atmosphere of Central Park tram stop in his commission as part the Tram Tracks song writing project. We can't wait for his solo performance as part of the new Rush Hour Social series at The Bridgewater Hall."

"I run a little Amateur Dramatics group called The Chanticleer Players and we were all attempting to put on our first Pantomime! We were struggling until we stumbled upon the brilliant Tom Kelsey! Tom came and saved the day! It was all rather last minute really, but Tom took it all in his stride and raised our Pantomime performance with his amazing piano playing. Not all our cast who sang are singers but Tom managed to make each and every one look great! He was able, off the cuff, to produce background music to scenes, which enhanced the audience experience. We had a CD of Christmas Songs playing as the audience arrived and took there seats, but one evening it faltered and broke. Tom stepped in and played Christmas songs to keep the atmosphere alive until the Pantomime was ready to begin. Tom was punctual, professional, understanding, adaptable and above all an outstanding musician. I can highly recommend Tom and we will be asking him back in the Summer! "

"Wow! Andrew was truly amazing! He is both a very talented musician and a great showman. He entertained the guests at our daughter's wedding; during the church ceremony, the garden reception and before the speeches at the wedding breakfast (coming back for an encore!) The romantic violin and style of music was perfect for my daughter's romantic vintage wedding. Andrew's music created a wonderful quintessential ambience which perfectly complemented the wedding theme. I would certainly recommend Andrew for any event - he certainly impressed all our friends and family. Even our neighbours have commented on the beautiful music wafting over the fields on a glorious sunny afternoon! "

"Gareth's an absolute gem! We were in desperate need to find an organist weeks before our wedding, as our previous organist had to cancel. I came across Gareth's details and luckily he was available. He came to visit us at my family home where my mum insisted on giving him some of her home made Limoncello :) and even after that he manage to wow us with his music skills, a true talent! Thank you!"

"Gareth was incredibly helpful - he found the music we wanted and met us a few months before the wedding at the Church to go through things. He played the organ beautifully during the wedding service. We would not hesitate to recommend him."

"Will was great, all the guests commented on how good he was and that they were still able to chat whilst listening and that he didn’t dominate but read the room so well. Thanks Will."

"Tom recently played at our wedding at Lainston House, near Winchester. He was very responsive in the lead-up to the day and was able to play everything we requested, including learning a new piece for our ceremony. Guests were very complimentary of Tom's playing which really added to the occasion. Thanks, Tom. "
