"Mark is a very talented pianist and was willing to learn new pieces for our wedding. He immediately understood what we were after in terms of style and made our ceremony really great. Mark has been fantastic from meeting up for initial discussions, to communicating through email, talking over the phone and arriving early on the day to ensure everything was set up properly. We'd highly recommend him to anyone in need of a pianist."

"We asked Nigel to play for our ceremony and during our wedding breakfast for our wedding at Huntsmill Farm, and we are so glad that we did! From the minute we asked him to be a part of our day we knew we had made the right decision. Nigel went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding and we cannot thank him enough. Nigel made our day truly special, from start to finish and his piano playing was beautiful! Stunning! He specially assembled Coldplay's Fix You for me to walk down the aisle to, and every time I hear it I cry! t was just so beautiful. Nigel added so much atmosphere to our wedding, the guests loved it and he really read the room and responded to this. At one point, he had the whole room singing along to his piano which was just a sight to behold from the top table! I cannot put into words how grateful we are to Nigel for being a part of our day and how special it was having him there, we only wish he had been able to play for longer! Nigel was such an important part of this for us and we would honestly recommend everyone book Nigel for their wedding! It truly made it extra special! Thank you! "

"Lee was extremely professional and played beautifully for our wedding ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast! The communication beforehand was very good, and we worked out when he would be playing and when I would need music played via my iPad. I had asked him to play music from movies, and his selections were spot on. He was also very flexible with the three specific songs I requested for the various parts of the ceremony. Something happened during the processional and the bride's entrance where the songs didn't change as planned; however, I don't blame this on Lee, as the venue had him hidden around a corner where he couldn't see the people coming in. I think if we had touched base right before the ceremony we could have clarified things so that is the only thing that I would recommend for next time. Otherwise, absolutely loved Lee!"

"Thank you so much for the incredible performance for our wedding 3rd Sep 22. I booked you as a surprise for my husband and it bought him to tears and many other guests in fact when you played his favourite classical piece Nuovo Bianche by Ludovico Einaudi. Could not have asked for more talented and lovely person to have for our special day. Many thanks, and highly recommend. "

"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."

"Robert Dimbleby, The man, The Musician. I first met Robert Dimbleby on a rehearsal with a local Derbyshire blues band named "The King B's" in 2015, when Robert was still a teenager, I was immediately struck by his technical facility, but was most impressed with his soulful musical feel and how pleasant he was to work with. We ended up jamming a couple of Herbie Hancock tunes and I decided I had to have this guy in my band!! Robert joined my band SoulDeep shortly after and has remained with my band ever since, playing on numerous gigs and studio recordings, covering the likes of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, The Crusaders, Donny Hathaway, Joe Sample, Tower of Power, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, plus numerous Motown, soul and jazz classics. Over the years I have observed Robert develop and grow as a musician and a man, I cannot speak highly enough of him. The perfect musician and a genuinely beautiful soul. George Grignon, professional drummer and band leader of over 45 years. "

"Stephen was absolutely first class ! His communication was excellent and above all his music was perfect. He played at a wake for us ( probably something he doesn’t get asked to do too often!) and he created a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone said how good he was and he helped us through a difficult day. I cannot thank him enough. If you need a pianist book this lovely man . Thank you Stephen! "

Reply by Stephen Guy Daltry
Dear Tracy Thanks so much for your review, I was honoured to play piano for your mother's wake, very best wishes Stephen.

"We met Nigel at an open day at our wedding venue and we (and our grandparents) loved his music and charm, and felt it would add a real personal touch to the wedding. We were absolutely right. Nigel’s communication was excellent from day 1 and it was so lovely to hear he approved of our (fairly niche) ceremony music choices. On the day we got very lucky to have an outdoor ceremony and this was no trouble for Nigel at all, who played beautifully, matching all the songs played to the specific ones we had requested for particular moments (which ended up being played for a little longer than planned as I was running late - sorry Nigel!). So many of our guests commented on how lovely the piano and playing was and it was so nice when our guests got excited about recognising the specific songs. Thank you so so much for being a part of our special day Nigel, we would absolutely recommend you to anyone!!"

"Gemma Monaghan - Double Tree Hilton, Liverpool April 2018- Jay thank you so much you were amazing. I heard you at a wedding event and thought that guy is good. But nothing could have prepared me for the actual day. I had so many compliments about how great you were and how your playing was faultless. Professional to a tee yet approachable and friendly at the same time. Thank you again Gx"

But right from our first call with Matt, we knew we'd landed firmly on our feet as he listened to our ideas, suggested things that would work well and was completely chilled whilst talking to us. Over a few months, we had plenty of back and forth over email as we shaped our final ideas for the ceremony and drinks reception, he was open to every suggestion and delighted to be able to have some freedom to add his own tweaks or our playlist. He worked with Rachel to get the perfect aisle mashup of Abba songs and then wowed our guests during our drinks reception with the extensive collection of music played, from all genres from traditional Irish to Indie, pop to rock and everything in between. Matt is a skilled pianist and incredibly down to earth. We're delighted we were able to work with Matt as he helped to make our day the best ever."

"Wonderful musicianship, friendly, accommodating and willing. Robbie is a charming person. In the months preceding our wedding he spoke with us on the phone so we could all talk over what would be good and what would be possible. On the actual day his timekeeping was immaculate; his playing helped build just the atmosphere we wanted during our meal; he included a last minute request from a guest in his repertoire and his whole performance was brilliant."
