"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."

"With a month or so to go before our wedding (July 2015) we found ourselves without an organist. Not knowing quite what to do next, we turned to Google and found Lastminutemusicians.com. Choosing an organist from the site was such a daunting prospect given how important the organist's role was to be and not knowing if the person we would end up choosing would be any good! After a number of replies from other performers we chose Mark and we couldn't have been in better hands. Mark is a true professional and a talented performer. He is eager to please, vastly experienced and could adapt most songs/pieces of music for the organ. A week or so before our wedding, and in his own time, he visited our chapel and familiarised himself with the organ he would be playing. We also spoke frequently on the phone to discuss our thoughts regarding what we wanted to be performed and he also provided helpful suggestions and ideas without 'taking over'. On the day itself he was prompt, well presented and played beautifully. Thank you again Mark for your contribution to our special day, I really can't recommend you enough...in fact two of the guests at our wedding used Mark as the organist at their wedding having been impressed, I'm sure, at what they heard!"

Mark and Di - the pleasure was all mine! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the Binns Organ in Queens College, Cambridge - it was a treat for me too as an organist. I'm pleased that you were happy with my performance on such a hot day, the organ took time to set up for the wedding, but it was worth it. And, I got to do it all again in August for your friends wedding in the same chapel!

"We want to thank you for providing a wonderful service during our wedding day. The guests enjoyed the music played throughout the drinks reception and during the wedding breakfast. It was lovely to see our guests reactions when they recognised each song, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere created whilst you were playing the piano."

"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. "

"Just wanted to say THANK YOU! The music was great! Some of the guests have said that this was the best ending of a wedding ceremony they have ever heard. [As well as playing Bach, Brahms and Rachmaninoff before the service, the playout music I was asked to play was 'Gonna Fly Now', the theme from 'Rocky'. Great fun!]"

"Thank you Mark for everything you did for us on the day. The organ music was perfect before the ceremony, the wedding march was superb and our song to walk out was better than we had imagined. The background music on the piano during the wedding breakfast was absolutely spot on and we loved hearing the songs we had chosen beforehand, as did our mothers! All in all, a superb service from before the wedding to the last note. The music was both a highlight and yet totally unobtrusive, which is a real talent! So thank you again Mark, we can not recommend you enough. "

Thank you James for a lovely review. It was lovely to play the Organ and Piano for you at Westminster College - such a beautiful setting! I enjoyed playing all of your musical choices, especially on the organ in the ceremony. Good luck for the future, keep in touch.

"I really appreciated Vikki's warm response to, and understanding of our requirements. She was efficient and flexible and all practical arrangements were thorough. She was also more than punctual, arriving before due time in order to set up and welcome our guests on arrival. Vikki is friendly and professional and she made a very good impression. She planned a really lovely programme for the afternoon event 3pm - 6pm. Her playing was beautiful and rich and she was sensitive to the size of the gathering in terms of the volume and tone she used. As the piano in the venue was less than poor, she brought her own electric piano on the proviso that she had help getting it into the venue and back into her vehicle at the end. This was the ideal solution for us. It has a very nice tone. I highly recommend Vikki for weddings, engagement parties, formal occasions, dinner/tea parties and more. Whatever the occasion she strikes me as being more than capable of meeting the brief. I'm so glad I have her in my contacts as I'm certain there will be occasions in the future where I won't hesitate to call on her excellent services."

"Corinne was fantastic at our event, working tirelessly to communicate with us prior to the event. This allowed us to be completely confident in what was going to be played on the night. The equipment and quality of music was excellent and enjoyed by all our guests! Thank you!!"
