"We had Nigel play at our wedding blessing (At Gayhurst Manor). We really wanted to have a piano to accompany our friend who is a violinist during the church service. Nigel went above and beyond to meet regularly with the violinist prior to the day to practise and he was just amazing on the day. He then played during our sit down meal and was extremely well received by all our guests. We are so grateful for the efforts Nigel put in to make our wedding blessing so special and would definitely recommend Nigel to anybody who is looking for a fantastic pianist who will do everything he can to fit your needs."

"After hearing Nigel play at a wedding fair in October, we decided to book him for our wedding at the Milling Barn in December, we were so pleased when he said he was available for our big day. He played for our guests arrival, ceremony and drinks reception. He certainly gave our ceremony the romantic feel we had hoped for and the background music he played for the drinks reception set a perfectly relaxed atmosphere! Our guests keep commenting on how amazing he played and not only is Nigel such a talented musician, he’s such a lovely guy too! Thank you so much for playing on our special day. I would highly recommend you to anyone! "

"Chris performed at our Wedding Reception bring heart and soul to us all. His music style and passion shine through in his performance and he made a memorable evening into a unforgettable one. Everyone loved his playlist and he played our first dance song which we very special. He travelled to us and dedicated a lot of his time with us and I'm glad he also had a wonderful experience in playing for our friends and family. Chris also writes original music and I am a big fan and want to have him play again as soon as possible. He's a great guy with a big future ahead of him. "

"Thank you SO MUCH for coming up to York and making such a wonderful impact upon the whole proceedings. You did an absolutely fabulous job throughout the whole evening - tinkling to the glasses at the reception, evocative stuff giving class and cool to the meal and atmospheric jollification to the casino. We couldn't have done it without you. We felt very privileged to call upon such generous talent....thankyou."

"Lizz played violin for our wedding day in May 2018 and she was absolutely amazing! She played the pieces we chose for our church ceremony beautifully and all our guests enjoyed the mix of pieces she played at our champagne reception. We highly recommend Lizz for any other couples looking for a violinist for their wedding day. Thank you so much!"

"Some Irish and more widely based music from the duo (Nigel Hammond on Piano performing with Joe Boland on Violin and Melodeon), sound level just right, miles better than a disco- live music! Excellent musicians. Wedding at the Holiday Inn Milton Keynes East. Recommended."

"Jo was such a treat to work with in the lead up to our wedding and indeed on the day itself. She played beautifully and all our guests commented on how wonderful and emotive the ceremony was because of her playing. I thoroughly recommend and hope to have plenty of events in the future where I can invite Jo to play! "

"We recently hired Chris to play at the drinks reception for our 40th birthday. He played non stop for 1.5hrs and was amazing from start to finish. I would highly recommend Chris for any type of event. He has an amazing voice to go along with the brilliant guitar playing. He was really really good!! "

"5 star Google Review: Nigel was incredible from start to finish. From the moment we met him at an open day, he had such a positive and warming energy. Nigel had fantastic communication with us throughout the wedding planning process and kept us updated on his ever growing repertoire or songs that we could choose for the day. How he can play this many songs by memory is truly a testament to his talent! On the day he he was fantastic and I really do not think there are enough words to describe how great he is both as a Pianist and a person! He played all sorts of songs across genres and everybody complimented how much of a great addition he was to the day. He even learned extra songs that were important to us which was another special touch. If you are thinking about having a Pianist, book Nigel! Thank you do much for making our day so personal and special. - Stacey & Harley"

"Vernon was brilliant, what a talented versatile musician. I wanted a chilled soul vibe for my 50th birthday festival themed party and he delivered perfectly! He built a great rapport with us and we were all dancing well into the night with the old school classics. Would thoroughly recommend Vernon "

"Tend to populate many local gigs and music night subsequently follow Chris avidly, purely because when he plays and sings he commands attention from even the hardened non-music orientated drinkers! Great voice and a wonderful acoustic guitarist, his covers are always brilliant, and his own compositions extremely well written and performed. Has a great range of music and caters for all tastes in music. If Chris is playing I will always make the effort to be there."
