"Sarah played background piano for our drinks reception and was just perfect! She took the time to get to know our music taste and created a beautiful playlist. So many of our friends and family commented on how well the music suited our vibe. Thank you so much, it meant a lot to us!"

"Mark is a very experienced pianist and he can absolutely add wonderful atmosphere to the wedding. We only had a few conversations before our wedding, and we sent 20-30 list of songs only several weeks prior to the wedding date. Some of the songs were from China and Mark played perfectly by following the list. I am really suprised that Mark can play it all and he played amazingly. Again, lot of thanks, we felt lucky by inviting Mark as our wedding pianist. "

"Thank you so much for playing for our wedding and helping to make it such a great day. Many people commented on the great choice of music, so thank you for pulling it off in such great style. The addition of your keyboard really did make all the difference, so thank you once again."

Thank you for using me for your special day. I enjoyed playing the little organ for the hymns (it was the smallest organ I have used to date with only 61 keys and 4 stops) I'm glad that the combination of pipe organ and keyboard made all the difference to the music - Walton's Coronation March was a very grand exit for you both! Good luck for the future.

"Christa has music and fun running through her veins. Her skills are only surpassed by her passion for all genres of music."

"Mark came to play at a wedding I was organising. Truly professional. The organ in the church wasn't up to much but he had his own equipment which was great. The music was wonderful and everyone one was delighted. Mark is a lovely person to deal with, full of enthusiasm for his work and able to understand what is required. I would 100% recommend. "

"Lovely relaxing afternoon being entertained by Christa. Plenty of well known tunes to sing hum or tap along to. Christa was friendly and interacted with the audience. Look forward to seeing her again."

"We had Nigel for our ceremony and drinks reception which took place at Mitchell Hall, Cranfield in July 2024. Our booking started as just the ceremony in Hertfordshire but when this venue cancelled we asked Nigel if he would be available for our drinks reception too and thankfully he was. From start to finish Nigel was brilliant, to communicate with and rely on and he also recommended a great singer when I asked for his help. Nigel is a very talented pianist and played a variety of song genres which we had chosen. Our guests were very impressed, not only with his talent but how lovely and interactive he was. He helped to make our day even more special. Thank you so much Nigel. "

"We booked Sarah to play for our wedding ceremony and reception in October 2020. We thought we'd have to cancel but then the rules changed again last minute and Sarah was happy to play for us even though we only gave her a couple of week's notice! We are incredibly happy she could do it, it really made the atmosphere so wonderful even though there were only 12 of us. Whether you're having a big or small ceremony she is 100% worth booking, and we're so happy to have booked her again for our celebration next year. "

"Jon at our wedding on Saturday was amazing, he arrived early and started playing. My brother in law made some requests and he just played those tunes brilliantly. To top all of this he played a James Bond theme tune which made the brother in law and his son's day. Thanks again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you for any wedding or event."

"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!"

"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"

"Matt had great communication from booking to the wedding day. He had a call with us to get to know us as a couple and our pieces. Matt was really excited to personalise the music for us and happy to learn any new pieces. The music made the ceremony extra special. He brought everything he needed and was well priced as well."

"Thank you Mark for doing such a wonderful job playing for us on our wedding day at Brocket Hall, Hertfordshire. He played for us at our Wedding Drinks Reception and Wedding Breakfast on our venues own grand pianos he was truly marvellous, so many compliments came in about him too, such a nice, warm friendly gentleman. He plays wonderfully, allowing his music fluidity and space; his virtuoso outpourings are formidable he is truly excellent and I hope we have a chance to use him again, for anybody looking for a Pianist for their special event I highly recommend you book Mark."

Thank you for a lovely review Tola, it was a pleasure to play for you at Brocket Hall. It was a great day made even better by such a fabulous venue, and the Bechstein grand piano made my job even more enjoyable - this must be one of the best piano's I have played in a wedding venue. I look forward to returning and working with Claire and Alan again!
