"Antony played for our Ceremony, he also composed an original piece of music for Helen's entrance in to the church, this was fantastic. we would like to thank Antony for making the day special, and we would highly recommend him if you require a pianist who can play contemporary/pop/classical music, perfect for your reception, ceremony, or wedding breakfast. Fantastic! "

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and relay everyone's positive comments. You were absolutely brilliant on the day, in terms of your playing and also your presence which was calm and professional. I am so pleased that my lasting memories of hearing you play are of the two pieces you played for my entry and our exit. Thanks once again - you really helped make our ceremony and drinks reception exactly what we wanted it to be. "

"Traveling from Malibu to Scotland for the ultimate destination wedding was nothing short of spectacular due to the one and only Spud The Piper! Spud was the heart beat of our incredible wedding day -joyous, and absolutely full of life! Spud was a true hit with all 37 of our guests (they still talk about how much they love him); he is full of smiles, jokes, and laughter, in which brings a sense of warmth to any occasion. Spuds piping is so beautiful to the ear, we cannot wait to come back every three years to renew our vowels. First one in 2020 -I’ll hire Spud every time that we are in Scotland! Cannot thank you enough for making our day so unbelievably magical -Truly an asset to any event! xxx"

"Just to say thank you so very much for playing so beautifully at our wedding on Saturday. I’m just sorry I didn’t get the chance to say hello, the ceremony bit whizzed by and then it seemed we were whisked here, there and everywhere! Thoroughly enjoyable though. Thanks again, your music made it just a bit more special."

"It was an absolute delight to have Dean play at our wedding! He made our wedding ceremony so special, beautifully playing our chosen songs walking down the aisle and then he joined the band to play party tunes into the night! A really talented musician who you can trust to be professional and a really lovely person to have at your wedding too ☺️ "

"I contacted Louise prior to our wedding which was held on the 26 August 2022 at St Mary at the Elms Church in Ipswich. I found Louise very helpful when it came to making arrangements, I planned to hold our reception at the Dove Inn, St Helens Street, Ipswich. One might think this was not a very posh venue for a wedding and one would be right. However, our Beckett family have had very close ties to the Dove Inn since the late 1800s. So, it is a very special place for us and has been a place we meet for birthdays and special evens as well as being a place to go for a quite drink etc. The wedding was held outside at the back of the pub, best described as a semi covered area with very large square canopies. I was surprised that Louise accepted the engagement as it was very apparent that Louise is a very experienced, professional, and celebrated pianist that you would be well suited at very high-class hotels and such events. Plus, she agreed to travel from Diss in Norfolk to play for us. I needed to make more than one last minute adjustments and I found Louise to be very versatile and she clearly understood what I was looking for. We agreed that she would play a mix of classical, light jazz and Frank Sinatra style of music, which Louise played to perfection. I had in the region of sixty-five guests. I originally agreed with Louise to play for two hours, expecting guests to switch off after that as there were no dancing facilities. Louise’s music was so infectiously pleasing to the ear that I asked her to play for another hour, because the atmosphere was electric and I did not want to lose that harmony that she was creating as the hour neared to the end, I begged her to play for another hour, which she agreed to. I have taken time to write this extended review because I am a person that wears my heart on my sleeve, and I am open and honest with everyone. Despite my brief to Louise, that I wanted her to feel like a guest and not just the pianist, I asked her to take regular breaks and participate in the ongoing buffet. I can honestly say that Louise played for four hours almost none stop. In my opinion this was way over the call of duty. I do however have one criticism of Louise if it can be called that. Louise I honestly believe that you should increase your fees. What you did for my wife and my guests was incredible. You made our day extra special, and your fees should be increased for the magical music and memories that you create. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Doug Beckett "

"Hey Lynden, Honestly, we can’t thank you enough. Your playing at our wedding was just magical. From the aisle walk to the drinks reception, it was flawless — emotional, elegant, and unforgettable. You were also just so calm and lovely to have around on the day. We’re still floating from it all. Thanks again. Warmest regards, Jess & Ollie"
