Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"Nigel’s playing was perfection personified! He played for the arrival of the guests and all through the wedding breakfast only taking a short break during the speeches. He even continued after the agreed time as everyone was enjoying his playing so much and it really lifted the occasion. His choice of music and playing styles fit the mood of the afternoon so well and we had lots of positive feedback from our guests. You rarely hear people applaud “back ground” music but this happened almost after every song played. He added a real sense of sophistication and substance to our wedding. It was present but not overbearing. We will be booking him again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend his services. "

"Andrew played at our wedding at Tyn Dwr Hall during our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast and he was brilliant and so talented. It really created the best atmosphere, we had so many compliments. He already has an extensive repertoire but was willing to learn anything new to suit us and we’re so glad we booked him for the whole day, it was great value. It was a pleasure to have him as part of our day, Andrew was very accommodating, professional and polite throughout the whole experience and we would easily recommend him to anyone. "

"Would really recommend Robbie to anyone looking for a pianist for their wedding. He was able to step in for us at short notice and accommodate all of our requests, for our traditional church ceremony & more contemporary pieces for our reception. Very professional & friendly and we really enjoyed having him perform for our special day!"

"5-Star Google Review: We first saw Nigel at a wedding fair at Plum Park and we were both impressed by the seemingly effortless way he played from memory and he seemed like a very friendly guy. Once we had booked our date we discussed having Nigel play and decided the money would be better spent elsewhere so we reluctantly decided to just use a playlist, but I knew how much Kevin had liked the idea of live music so I contacted Nigel in secret to book him for our ceremony and wedding breakfast as a gift. Nigel was super responsive and really up for keeping the surprise a secret as long as possible. I chose the music from Nigel’s huge repertoire based on what we’d planned from a Spotify playlist and as we wanted our exit tune to be Happy Together by the Turtles, Nigel learnt this specifically for us. Nigel was fantastic on the day, texting me to let me know he was there and had set up without being spotted. Some of our guests were tasked with keeping Kevin away from the ceremony room and we managed to keep the surprise right up until his registrar interview. We had set up a camera near the piano to video the speeches. Without any prompting Nigel kindly turned this to each person speaking so we got each speech perfectly in shot too, a small extra thing which meant the world to us. Many of our guests commented on how brilliant he was and his playing set a wonderful tone for our day. I’m so glad I decided to book him and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone. Thank you Nigel! Jo & Kevin"

"Lewis gave a brilliant performance of my After Ives... for piano set at St. John's, Smith Square (London) which was not only technically but theatrically a real tour de force! I was thrilled by his performance at every level."

"We recently got married at Holmewood Hall in Cambridgeshire and decided it would be lovely to make use of the baby grand piano for our drinks reception. We really struggled to find a local pianist but after much searching online I came across the lovely Nigel who was willing to travel. He had such wonderful reviews, that despite not having actually met him, we decided to book him anyway. From our initial enquiry he was so prompt and professional with organising all the details to meet our requirements, which gave us further confidence we’d made the right decision. On the day he played so very beautifully and it created such a lovely atmosphere in the hall. You’d never have thought it was his first time playing on their baby grand piano. Lots of our guests commented not only on the music but also how nice Nigel was when they had spoken to him. Our two little boys were over the moon when he played them the jungle book medley! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone else looking for their wedding. With heartfelt thanks from, Gemma and Alex Chambers. "

"John played at our wedding in December '22 and was absolutely fantastic! We additionally had a supporting cellist and Jon lead the organisation all the way through very professionally. The music throughout the day was beautiful, and guests LOVED being able to make own requests during the breakfast - Jon is so talented to be able to play such a wide variety of music on the spot. We would highly recommend to anyone - thanks again Jon!"
