Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"Thank you Nigel for playing at our wedding at Crockwell Farm. We booked Nigel after hearing him play at a wedding fayre, we were blown away by his talent of playing so effortlessly. We chose Nigel as we liked the different packages he offered, especially how we could choose which elements of the day we would like him to play, we chose the ceremony and then the wedding breakfast. The booking process was seamless and every question we had was answered quickly and we were able to choose the exact songs Nigel played from his ever growing repertoire. When the day came he arrived early to set up, and played absolutely beautifully, all of our guests were so impressed and complimentary of Nigel’s playing, he even played a few nursery songs for our smaller guests. We cannot thank you enough for adding such a personal touch to our wedding day and making it extra special. B&T x"

"What can I say?! If you want an amazing pianist for your wedding or event then hire Nigel! We deliberated for a long time over whether we needed a pianist for our wedding at Warwick House, and looked at dozens of websites before deciding on Nigel. One of the first things that I noticed was his responsiveness and the quality of his work - his attention to detail is second to none, unbeatable. Nigel was willing to learn the songs we wanted, in the way that we wanted them and he did so beautifully throughout the ceremony and the drinks reception. One of the things that set him apart from the others was the lack of sheet music in front of him - he practices and learns those tunes to absolute perfection. I will never ever forget hearing Nigel start to play the opening bars just before my wedding entrance, it was such a special moment made even more special by having beautiful live music. Thank you so much Nigel for being an 'instrumental' part of our day! "

"Des played piano at our Church for our marriage ceremony, we gave him modern music to learn and play and he did so brilliantly, and was also happy to undertake some (very) last minute changes. Des is a fantastic chap and no job was too big or too small. Cannot recommend Des enough!!"

"Robbie was recruited as an undercover agent – and he absolutely nailed the assignment! My now-husband (still feels surreal saying that!) and I knew from the moment we got engaged that we wanted a small, intimate ceremony surrounded by just our closest family. With such a small guest list, I was a bit nervous that having different suppliers involved might make things feel staged and take away from the personal atmosphere – but I couldn’t have been more wrong. We had already booked a live singer for the ceremony and drinks reception, and since Robin is a huge classical music fan, most of the songs were naturally chosen by me. I really wanted to incorporate his love of music into our special day, and that’s when I reached out to Robbie. Not only did Robbie put together a playlist based on my husband’s favourite songs and artists – he even went out of his way to learn two of his absolute favourites. Robbie performed during our wedding breakfast (as a complete surprise for the groom!) and coordinated setting up in secret perfectly. Everyone commented on how incredible the music was – they were truly blown away. We honestly can’t recommend Robbie highly enough – thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect!"

Hi Kelly - it was a lot of fun being an undercover piano agent for you! I was so pleased we managed to keep it a surprise right until the time you both entered the room for the wedding breakfast. Playing for a more intimate setting was very enjoyable, I really felt part of the day. Thank you so much for asking me to play for you, and congratulations again!

""The Simon Quartet delighted a capacity audience at the first of our concerts at Lost Gardens of Heligan in January 2017. Mixing excellent originals by pianist Simon and saxophonist/flautist Sarah with a few well known standards - the quartet demonstrated their remarkable individual skills with a rock solid unity of purpose. Percussionist Keith and bassist James, a formidable rhythm section, also shone on some inventive solos. The SQ is certainly at the forefront of contemporary jazz ensembles in Cornwall, offering a special evening of accessible and rewarding jazz.""

"Louise was very professional and punctual. We asked her to play some background music on the piano for our wedding which she did superbly. She is very talented and a number of guests commented on how good she was. I would highly recommend her."

"Sarah recently played the piano before and during our wedding ceremony, starting with a 30 minute set to greet our guests as they arrived at the church. Sarah played an array of acoustic renditions of modern songs, individually chosen by her to suit our musical taste, which received the utmost praise and compliments from our guests. We also requested if Sarah would mind playing a bespoke processional song, it wasn't quite your typical walking down the aisle tune but she completely embraced the request. In addition to learning the new song, Sarah also reworked the melody to create a truly bespoke piece to which we were able to walk down the aisle. Sarah is not only a very talented, graceful and professional pianist but her music added a whole other dimension of joy, ambience and romance to our special day and for that we can not thank her enough. Hayley + Andy x"

"I was searching for a pianist to accompany my singing at my wedding and we also wanted a medley of house music played according to songs we had chosen. I approached quite a few pianists with my request and received a positive response that it was do-able. However, only Bradley took the time to pick up the phone and talk me through my requirements. From the moment I spoke to him, I knew that he would do everything he could to put together exactly what we were looking for. We practiced a couple of times before the wedding and I had every confidence that Bradley was going to deliver what he promised. He turned up early to prepare for the gig at our wedding and as I’d surprised my guests who didn’t know I was singing, we were a hit! His house medley was so good that the guests didn’t realise that he was actually playing. The impressive thing is Bradley hadn’t ever played House music before, but he embraced the challenge and was nothing short of fantastic. We loved having Bradley at our wedding and will definitely be using him again for our next big bash. If you have a desire to achieve something out of the ordinary, Bradley can make that dream come true. He did with me. On top of being a great pianist, Bradley is also warm, friendly and reliable. He loves what he does and does it so well. He’s a true professional and the guests at my wedding absolutely loved him. Thanks again Bradley, you made our day extra special and my wife was blown away. xx"

"We found Grant after a friend recommended him saying he was the Best Wedding Pianist they’d seen. Based on this we met with him and within a few minutes we’d decided Grant would play at our wedding. He was thoroughly professional but more than that, he had the audience captivated during our chosen songs whilst Walking down the Isle & Signing the Register.. All our guests commented on his fantastic performance & it added so much to our special day. We feel lucky to have found him and cannot recommend him highly enough!"
