"I booked Tamriko to play at our wedding in Somerset and she came on recommendation from a musician friend. From the start Tamriko was so organised to ensure she had all the details of the venue and knew what we wanted to have played. I work in theatre so wanted classics by the likes of Berstein, Lerner and Loewe, Gershwin etc. Tamriko played so beautifully. She captured the essence of our big day and we had so many wonderful comments afterwards. I cannot recommend Tamriko enough. Stunning playing, easy to work with and a wonderful artist."

"Sarah played for both our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and she was flawless! She arranged beautiful covers of our requested songs and her song choices to go with these were spot on. She made the whole process very easy and you'd be lucky to have her play for you! Thanks again."

"Having Matt play at our wedding was an absolute joy and made for beautiful listening! The songs for our ceremony were mostly all new to Matt but were all played faultlessly and it made our ceremony even more memorable! 100% recommend for any event not just a wedding!"

"We booked Andrew for our wedding after deciding that we wanted keyboard piano in the background. From start to finish Andrew was great and discussed with us the different options for the day, it couldn’t have been easier! The wedding itself was perfect the songs we picked sounded amazing in the venue. The guests commented on how lovely the sound was in the background during the ceremony and meal. If you are looking for talent and attention to detail then Andrew is the musician for you. Thanks again."

"While planning a vintage tea party for Mum’s 90th birthday party, I needed an accompanist and piano player for my wartime and 40’s style sing along, which I planned to lead. My search found me the super talented and very accurate perfectionist Mark Burton at lastminutemusicians.com. When I made telephone contact and explained what I was planning, he totally understood and was very helpful making suggestions for songs to be played, arrangements and keys. We then had lots of communication over email, he was prompt to answer any questions and bent over backwards to help. On the day of the performance he greeted me with a smile and did his best to quell my nerves, during his solo spot, he played with distinction lots of old favourite tunes as background music. He played the piano in the venue for around 45 minutes solo then took a break and came back on his own keyboard with myself on vocals for a further hour set as accompaniment to my singing and the family sing along to tunes such as “putting on the Ritz” and a wartime medley from “pack up your troubles” through lots of other wonderful tunes ending on “land of hope and glory”. The result was that my Mother and indeed all of the family were thrilled to bits. They have been raving about it so much. It has given us outstanding and lasting memory of the perfect birthday with perfect entertainment supplied by Mark. Thank you so very much Mark you are an outstanding musician and I will recommend you to anyone in need."

" We were very fortunate to have chosen Mark to play at our wedding in September at the Swan Hotel in Lavenham, with Mark’s guidance and suggestions he was able play all of our requested music through the ceremony on his electronic keyboard professionally filling the “Wool Hall” with truly memorable music and during the wedding breakfast performing on the Swan’s Steinway piano in the gallery above the main restaurant giving our reception a truly special atmosphere and our guests were very complementary. We would absolutely without hesitation highly recommend Mark to play at your event to providing a seamless professional service with great communication leaving you with no doubt your music will achieve over and above all of your expectations making your event a very memorable one. Thanks Mark was marvelous Stuart & Gorete "

"We had an amazing day and a special thanks to Andrew. Despite the current Covid conditions we still had a special day with close family and friends and the music for the ceremony and after drinks was beautiful and extended as everyone stayed on and continued to have a great time. Would fully recommend Andrew and have rebooked for what we hope will be a larger celebration in the future."

"A professional, kind and imaginative musician! From the moment I spoke to Matt I knew we were in safe hands…I just wish I had found him sooner! He was very professional and immediately set about finding out what was needed. Super easy to deal with, plenty of ideas and very flexible and of course he played beautifully. He made the event very special and I can’t thank him enough. So glad he was there."

"From the moment we set our wedding date, we knew Nigel Hammond had to be part of our day – he was actually the first thing we booked! Nigel is not only an incredibly talented pianist, but also one of the kindest and most thoughtful musicians we’ve ever met. He took the time to ask us about our favourite songs and even learned the song, Titanium especially for our wedding, which meant so much to us. He created the most beautiful atmosphere during our drinks reception and wedding breakfast, seamlessly blending our personal choices with guest requests on the spot. The music was just perfect – elegant, fun, and heartfelt – and truly elevated the whole day. Nigel was simply the best, and we are so grateful he shared his talent with us on such a special occasion! We would really recommend Nigel to everyone! All the communication beforehand was thoughtful and thorough. He was such a pleasure to have as part of our day in every way! Thank you so much Nigel!"
