"From start to finish, Mark was absolutely incredible. We hired Mark to play at our wedding, alongside a choir that he had never performed with before, and his performance was amazing. He kept in touch with us throughout and helped us to work out what would work best for our ceremony. The result was fantastic and we had so many compliments about the music during our ceremony. We cannot recommend him enough, thank you Mark! Xx"

"I can't recommend Mark enough. From the first time we spoke he has been a consummate professional. Mark's organ and piano playing are second to none and made our wedding day at Hengrave Hall even more special. We originally booked Mark for the Church Service, however after talking to him on the phone and hearing his passion and flare we booked him to play the piano during our wedding breakfast too. Mark is flexible, accommodating and has ideas that spark your imagination! We even had Metallica's Nothing Else Matters on the piano at one point - amazing! Thank you ever so much Mark! We will be using you again."

Thank you Mr and Mrs Titmarsh, it was an honour to play for your wedding! I'm so pleased that you all had a great day, I really enjoyed playing for you and helping to enhance the grand setting of Hengrave Hall. It was lovely working with you both, discussing and choosing the music in the run up - your mum was also a great help in organising the music. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

"We decided to book Gareth after the original organist we had booked to play at our wedding stopped replying to emails. The communication with Gareth was such a breath of fresh air and he really made us feel at ease and took the worry of wedding music away. He played incredibly well and was a pleasure to deal with. The vicar of our ceremony was also very impressed and we would highly recommend him."

"Mark was really great and fantastic to collaborate with. We had been in two minds about getting an organist but most certainly happy that we did! Mark truly was a fabulous addition to our day and I would sincerely recommend him to others. Thanks again! "

"Gareth accompanied my son for his recent violin exam He makes the whole experience fun and had my nervous and grumpy son relaxed and laughing within minutes during the rehearsal I was stunned at what this GENIUS and gifted, talented accompanist and teacher was able to draw out of my son in so short a space of time. He even did work on the aural tests which had been previously refused at home or in lessons and my son achieved FULL marks in that section and a distinction overall !!! What more can I say ?!!! He was only predicted a pass and it was Gareth's skills and encouragement that brought out the BEST in the student. As an ex teacher I recognise Gareth's innate gift for enthusing and engaging the young mind and his accompaniment and musicianship skills are simply amazing. He was kind, helpful and exceptionally generous with his time staying for over DOUBLE the time for which we had paid to make sure my son was at ease with every aspect of the exam My son now wants to continue the violin, has been practising and has remembered all the performance techniques and nuances that Gareth has embued. ANY PARENT reading this looking for a superb and kind accompanist should look no further. Gareth thank you from Shawn and all of us. You are a genius !!"

"Mark, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for last Saturday. I’m sorry that I didn’t manage to speak to you on the day but I was very impressed with your piano playing skills. The service went really well and I really enjoyed each hymn you played and the congregation sang each song beautifully. I hope you found your way to the church without any problems. Once again, thank you so much for your services."

"Des played a wonderful selection of music for my parent's diamond wedding anniversary. Aside from being a talented pianist, he was able to provide just the right tone for the mixture of ages among the guests. He is both professional (all set-up well in advance of the party start time) and a pleasure to work with. He helped make the evening memorable for everyone. I highly recommend him."

"I had the pleasure of working with Mark at Britta and Matt's wedding at Balliol College Chapel, Oxford last Saturday. He played the organ beautifully before and during their wedding ceremony, and was highly professional organising the timings with me and ensuring the entrance and exit of the bridal party went smoothly. The couple, as well as many of their guests, mentioned how fabulous Mark's playing was."

"After meeting Des at a wedding fayre we instantly fell in love with his music. When planning the music for our wedding day, Des was very professional, flexible and enthusiastic to play whichever songs we had chosen. Many of our guests commented on the lovely calm atmosphere at our wedding as a result of Des’ exemplary musical skills. Many thanks again. We would highly recommend Des!"

"I would just like to let anyone know who is considering or wanting an organist for their wedding (or any other event) Mark really is the best and in so many ways. He isn't money orientated. He goes above and beyond. His punctuality is just as great as his personality and his sense of humour. He stays in constant contact and he responded to every single one of my messages and calls even when they probably got annoying. He played the organ amazingly and made my wedding day all that bit more special. He really is a true professional!!! "

"Thank you so so much for Saturday! You were incredible. I don’t know if you knew this but when you played before the ceremony, you played a Bollywood tune that was Kyles dads favourite song, and it really meant a lot to him! So thank you so so much Mark, it was perfect x "

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Mark for playing the organ so wonderfully at our wedding this weekend (9th Jan 2016). From the moment I first spoke with Mark, I knew we were in good hands. We contact Mark fairly last minute and finalised the music for the wedding only a week before the day but there was never a moment when I felt panicked as Mark always put us at ease about the whole process. I would definitely recommend Mark for any event that requires musical talent! "

Cara, thank you so much for a lovely review. I was very pleased with the music too, and the Haupwerk computer organ in church was a joy to play - it was like playing a cathedral organ! I wish you both all the luck in the world for the future.

"Gareth Giles is a superb organist who deputised for us at very short notice. His professionalism and musicality shines. I thoroughly recommend him."
