Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"Nigel was an excellent addition to our wedding. He played during our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast adding a lovely touch to each for a nice ambiance. Received lots of comments from guests about his excellent music which was varied. Would throughly recommend if looking to add some live background music during your day!"

Thank you so much for booking me to perform at your wedding and for such a lovely review. It was such a pleasure. You two looked amazing, and Chicheley Hall was such a wonderful setting.

"From the moment of contact Tom was outstanding. He replied to emails efficiently and was always helpful. He has an extensive repertoire which attracted me to booking him to begin with. His YouTube channel was a delight to listen to to assist in deciding what music to choose for our ceremony. We also used it for bridesmaid rehearsals for walking down the aisle. On the day Tom set up fast, the guests commented on the beautiful music during the ceremony. I personally loved every second of Toms work and I’m very happy we hired a videographer to capture it all on film. If you’re thinking of booking a pianist, book Tom. "

"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."

"What a star !! Matt was booked to play background music at my Birthday garden party. He arrived early, suitably attired and had devised a playlist that perfectly matched the occasion. Towards the end of his set we experienced heavy rain which threatened to ruin the party. Matt agreed to play on for an additional hour taking requests from guests and allowing the budding stars amongst us to perform renditions ranging from semi-professional to downright hilarious. Matt's flexibility and extensive range saved the day and we will definitely be booking him again."

"The wedding was at Chicheley hall and Nigel played 3 songs before, during and after our ceremony. He then played songs whilst we all ate. Whilst we had photos taken. Nigel also entertained ours guests outside in the garden. We just wanted to say a big thank you for playing so beautifully on our special day you made us smile and leave a little tear in our eyes. "

"Sarah was absolutely amazing! I must admit I was a bit nervous going online and finding music for our ceremony without meeting with the singer/pianist in person. But as soon as Sarah started singing in the wedding with her beautiful piano, we were blown-away. A strong and elegant voice, filled our wedding service with energy and engagement. Our guests wanted to stay listening to her sing "I believe in a thing called love" (The Darkness) even after we had exit! So many of my family and friends came to us saying what an amazing job we had done selecting the singer/pianist. But to be a little honest it was a bit of luck to strike Sarah! I would definitely recommend you to not rely on pure luck, and just get her for your event! On other notes, Sarah was easy to contact and check-in before hand. It was easy for us to arrange payment with her and we felt the price was right."

"Amy played for us at my mother-in-law's 70th yesterday and did a truly fantastic job. She was more than happy to play from a selection of artists that we supplied, along with music from an assortment of genres; catering for all tastes. Her playing was faultless and her manner professional. We will certainly be hoping to hire Amy again when we need a pianist in the future... Thanks Amy!"

"Nigel set a lovely scene at our wedding (Oct 2021) and a lot of our guests were commenting on how lovely his set was. We were able to request songs beforehand and also let Nigel know which songs we’d prefer him to avoid. He was very accommodating and was a great addition to our special day. Thank you Nigel for bringing that extra bit of class and pizazz ? "

"Bradley played a great set at my husband David's 40th in Hertfordshire. His piano playing was superb. We especially loved the cabaret section where David's sister sang a song from Eurovision with Bradley at the piano. Superb atmosphere, thank you Bradley!"

"What a truly outstanding musician Nigel is. I can’t thank Nigel enough for everything that he did for us on our wedding day! From our initial phone call, Nigel’s friendliness, helpfulness and expertise immediately shone through and I knew that we were in very good hands. Nigel made the entire process smooth and stress free; providing so much advice and guidance along the way which really helped to shape our day. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for Nigel and he really did go the extra mile during the planning process to ensure everything was perfect; from advising us on song choices for parts of the day we weren’t sure about to learning specific versions of the songs that we had requested. I couldn’t be more grateful for all of the time and effort Nigel put into our plans! The result? Truly beautiful music for every part of our wedding day. Listening to Nigel’s music as I walked down the aisle is a memory that will last for the rest of my life. Nigel has an incredibly impressive repertoire of music that he can play and he kept our guests thoroughly entertained throughout the whole of our drinks reception. He created a genuinely wonderful atmosphere and so many people commented on how much they were enjoying his music! Lots of guests also commented on how lovely a person Nigel is; something I can wholeheartedly attest to! Nigel’s piano set up is also absolutely stunning and really fit in with the décor of our venue. He even took the time to ask what colour theme we were using so he could provide matching flowers for his keyboard. We also asked Nigel to play a piano cover of our first dance and we were so thrilled that he was able to stay to do so. It was a magical moment and another memory that I shall cherish forever. Nigel possesses an incredible talent and I wholeheartedly recommend that you put your trust in him for your own wedding day because I have absolutely no doubt that you will be as blown away as we were. My only wish now is that I could listen to Nigel all over again! "

"Hi Mark, we wanted to say thank you for your wonderful work on the organ on NYE. I'm sorry that we didn't get to say goodbye, as we were rushed off to do the photos. We and our guests thought the music was brilliant and we really appreciate the care you took in preparation and arriving early to set everything up. "

"5 Star Google Review: It was a pleasure having Nigel play on our special day. Nigel was a gentlemen and collaborated with us to create a custom list for us and our guests. He truly made the wedding reception even more magical. He is a very versatile and talented pianist playing both modern and classical music. His music bought such joy to our day"

"Nigel played during our wedding ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast (at Horwood Estate). He was absolutely fantastic and we received so much positive feedback! He specifically learned some Iranian music for us and played it on request. He really set the tone for the day and I would recommend his services to anyone who really wants to make their day special. Thank you so very much for making our day perfect"
