"Mark J was absolutely incredible for our wedding. Made my day, having my favourite piece of music played live as I walked down the aisle at lusty glaze, with all my friends and family looking on. Was just perfect. Leading up to the wedding Mark J was absolutely fantastic, very quick to respond. A true entertainer & fantastic musician. Thank you so much x love becca and Dan"

"Christa was absolutely faultless from start to finish. She was so friendly and quick when communicating. Anything we asked she was happy to accommodate and nothing was too much trouble. She made the whole process so easy. Christa played at our wedding in the church and created such a beautiful atmosphere and learnt a song for our aisle music which was just perfect. Thank you so much Christa you gave us memories we will have forever and really made our day. I’m so glad we chose you!"

"Well what can I say, absolutely amazing!!! From the moment we hired Matt he aways kept in touch with our music choice, venue, times. You just felt that he really cared and nothing was too much trouble and the talent!! Wow Matt can certainly play!! And we didn’t make it easy for him with our song choices bless him. We even asked him if he could extend his time an extra hour on the night and again nothing too much trouble and he did. Highly recommend Matt, if you need a pianist, Matt is your guy incredibly talented. Thank you Matt for making our day so special ❤️"

"Louise is a warm and gregarious character who integrated well with our family and guests at an anniversary re-union in a marquee in the garden of our house. She is a very experienced and talented accordionist and piano keyboard player with a wide range of musical offerings. She has a relaxed style of playing and responded well to all the demands put on her over a three hour period. If you are looking for top-class background music played by a sensitive musician, then Louise would be an excellent choice."

"Emily provided the music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at a historic venue. She created two custom arrangements one of which was not, erm a traditional wedding song but came out beautifully on the day. She was also very responsive via email and willingly answered all of our questions about the day. Highly recommend. Thanks Emily! "

"Lee was brilliant and everyone who came to my party commented on how lovely it was have live music, how good he was and asked me where I had found him. He was very reassuring from his first introductory e mail and very eager to make sure he played the music I wanted and that he fitted in with the schedule. I would definitely book Lee again. He made sure my party went with a swing. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends."

"Sarah played at our wedding in April. Sarah's playing was incredible and she created the perfect ambience during the drinks reception. Sarah has been wonderfully professional from the moment I contacted her about playing at our wedding. Sarah was able to learn songs that we requested and and she played them beautifully. Sarah arrived early at the venue and was ready to create the perfect atmosphere following our wedding ceremony. Thank you Sarah xx"

"5 Star Google Review: Don't even know where to start.... Nigel was amazing from beginning to end 💕 I found Nigel through my recommendation list through my wedding venue (huntsmill farm) and they were absolutely spot on to recommend him as he was simply amazing 😊 Even though I booked Nigel way in advance he was very happy to communicate with me as often as needed! I wasn't afraid to be myself and put to him requests that may not be the usual one's he would be asked to perform, so when I requested he played creep by Radiohead when I walked down the aisle he didn't even question it or hesitate, he simply put 2 demos together for me to choose from and when I heard the softer version I cried! This was exactly what I wanted and knew my partner would love too ❤️ and this proved to be true as on our wedding day Nigel delivered it so perfectly it showed in my partners emotions as I walked towards him 😍 Nigel performed every song I requested so beautifully and also his own songs too ( never did i ever think Thomas the tank engine could sound so romantic) I couldn't recommend this man highly enough ❤️ His exact words to me were... " I have a wonderful job because I am effectively paid to gate crash people's weddings as long as I play the piano" my response was " for us you wasn't a gate crasher, you were very much a valuable guest, you played an extremely important part of our day, and made it just as special as every person there" and I stand by that! Nigel you are one in a million and I can't thank you enough for being a part of our day ❤️"

"We engaged Sarah to play at our wedding breakfast and she provided just the right ambiance for the day with a variety of classical, modern and pop classics. It was a wonderful day for us which was topped off by Sarah. Highly recommended!"

"Five Star Google Review: What can we say about Nigel! Amazing comms with us about our preferences despite only having a 2 hour slot at cocktail hour at our wedding he became nearly everyone’s favourite part of the night. Smiley and welcoming and an amazing pianist! We loved Nigel and highly highly recommend him for your event. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. Sarah and Chris. "

"Venezuelan soprano Sofia slipped in, in splendidly soulful isolation, in sleepy-slinky Barnes. Sofia’s charm comes from an ability to engage with her audience with vivacity, a slow waving of the arms or a thumbs-up cheekily pepping things up. This was a two-way process, for the audience, although in their own homes, were there via a livestream chat facility, commenting, praising and importantly requesting numbers. What were requested? Jazz standards, show numbers and some current pieces rubbed shoulders with languid classics sung in French or torrid numbers in her native Spanish. The jazz standards were impressively and beautifully sung. Cole Porter’s 1944 classic, Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye and Meredith Willson’s 1950 show tune ‘Til There Was You, had just the right balance of poignancy and warmth of these post-war nostalgic gentle pieces. The mood changes, but not the sincerity of the singing, with the traditional folk song, The House of the Rising Sun, retaining the blues feel of a song that became the “first folk rock hit”. Then, we were transported to the late sixties with the Aretha Franklin version of I Say a Little Prayer For You. Her skill in Latin American music was epitomised by the famous bolero, written by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez, Bésame Mucho. Sofia’s soft but passionate treatment of the lyrics harked back to the dreamy sensuality of the 1940 original. I expect many of her fans were responding by blowing her lots of kisses. Nevertheless, it was not in a Spanish song that Sofia excelled, but in French. Of course, it had to be Edith Piaf’s immortalised song to love, La Vie en Rose. Perfectly rendered, both in words and music, and fervent in its performance, she expressed exactly the powered of infatuated love. Great stuff, and good to see today’s vie en rose. In these straightened times, we all need occasionally to see the world through rose-tinted spectacles. "
