"From the moment we enquired about Sam , we knew we had found someone special. Such attention to detail through your wedding that no one else will tell you!!! She was by our sides talking through not only her music but the whole process of the day. This lady plays the piano like no one else. She gave another level to our wedding that we are so grateful for. Her price is lowest too. A friend for life 💗💗💗"

"We booked Sarah only a few weeks before our wedding, and i have to say she surpassed all our expectations. She learnt new songs especially for us, which is sang and played perfectly. She also has a huge repertoire so there is something there for everyone. So many of our guests asked after her, and said how fantastic they thought she was both as a singer and pianist. She was a fantastic late addition to our wedding, which made it extra special. Thank you Sarah, you helped make our perfect wedding day complete. Anne & Suren"

"Just want to send a really big thank you your way and tell you how pleased we were with you on Thursday. You were my favourite part of the whole day and I’m so annoyed I didn’t even get to meet you and thank you in person! I think you were also my brothers favourite, I definitely saw his eyes well up a time or two! Honestly you are amazing at what you do and I would recommend you to anybody! Thanks again, "

"We just wanted to say a big thank you for the wonderful music you played on Saturday, the venue was wonderful, but the piano really set it off beautifully. We are already on our way back to Singapore, it is a shame it was over so quickly. Many thanks once again."

"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 "

"Thank you Mark for doing such a wonderful job playing for us on our wedding day at Brocket Hall, Hertfordshire. He played for us at our Wedding Drinks Reception and Wedding Breakfast on our venues own grand pianos he was truly marvellous, so many compliments came in about him too, such a nice, warm friendly gentleman. He plays wonderfully, allowing his music fluidity and space; his virtuoso outpourings are formidable he is truly excellent and I hope we have a chance to use him again, for anybody looking for a Pianist for their special event I highly recommend you book Mark."

Thank you for a lovely review Tola, it was a pleasure to play for you at Brocket Hall. It was a great day made even better by such a fabulous venue, and the Bechstein grand piano made my job even more enjoyable - this must be one of the best piano's I have played in a wedding venue. I look forward to returning and working with Claire and Alan again!

Dear Caroline Thanks so much for your review, I was honoured to play accordion for your father's wake, and to play his own accordion was very special, thank you. With very best wishes Stephen.

"Mark J is such an incredible musician. He played at our wedding two days ago and the music was so so beautiful. I'm so glad we booked him to play at our wedding because it just made the atmosphere at the venue so sublime. The correspondence between us and Mark J leading up to the wedding was great - answering all of our queries promptly. Mark J was very professional and didn't break once during the three hour performance. Every one of our guests commented on how incredible he was! Thank you Mark J."
