"We hired Grant playing his Grand Piano Shell in my garden, unfortunately the weather didn’t hold out but his Piano skills were outstanding. He played everything we asked, very entertaining. "

"Rich was easy to deal with from the start and very flexible and relaxed which in turn helped us relax on the day knowing that he was going to be ready when we needed him to be. As a pianist myself I appreciate the level of dedication he has given to performing and arranging his repertoires. Whilst I'm not a professional like Richard I do have Grade 7 and am perform keyboards with a band so I was quite particular about who we hired to play. Not only for me but also for our guests, many of whom were musical also! 10/10!!"

"Nigel was the pianist for our wedding and he was fantastic. Nigel was very professional on the day as well as during the booking process. Nigel played all of the songs we asked for and all of our guests commented how much they had enjoyed the music for our ceremony and wedding breakfast. We would strongly recommend Nigel as a wedding pianist and check out his U Tube videos to confirm his style is what you are looking for. Thank you Nigel for being part of our special day. "

"We had the privilege of Sarah being the pianist at our wedding this year on August the 1st at a beautiful location in Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent. We could not have asked for a better Pianist. Sarah did flawlessly from start to finish, executing our ceremony songs of choice perfectly. Sarah plays so gracefully. She is so skilful and plays with so much love and care, of course this is because it is her passion but also, you can tell it means so much to her to make a couple's day that more special. Her music complimented the atmosphere and we had guests tell us how much Sarah added to the day. It really meant so much to us that last minute (seriously, very last minute!) she was willing to learn three songs just for us and that even when the agreed time was up, she continued to play as we sat to watch and listen. We will never forget this. It was truly special. Our only regret is that we did not record her playing so we had something to look back on. We seriously cannot thank you enough, Sarah. We are so happy to have had you be a part of our special day! And to all who happen to visit Sarah's profile, seriously, choose her for your event. We promise you, she will exceed all your expectations and make your day so, so much more special. She is incredible! Thank you once again Sarah. All our love, Timoer and Elisha X "

"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. "

"Lester is an incredible musician with a great personality. Have enjoyed listen to him perform on many occasions! He has a wide repertoire in both piano and brass and loves performing Freddie songs! He is the very very best piano teacher who inspired both my children to become competent musicians with a love for music. Can highly recommend him. "

"Nigel played while our guests were seated, during the Bridal Procession, the signing, the Wedding Exit, the Confetti Shoot , the Wedding Couple Entrance and the Wedding Breakfast. It was my wife's idea to have Nigel play at our wedding and after she had the idea I thought that sounds nice and a bit different. It was great to have Nigel play at the wedding and it gave the wedding music a more personal touch than just having recorded music. This was particularly the case with the Bridal Procession when you felt you could have been in a church. Nigel was very professional and unobtrusive. We left him to pick the playlist and he played a great variety of different tunes."

"Book Piano Matt for your event ? From the outset, Matt was the friendliest, most helpful person to connect with. Having recently planned and celebrated his own wedding, he was immediately offering support and reassurance in so many areas beyond our expectation! Matt is so incredibly friendly, positive, and flexible, even helping us out with a last minute talk on Zoom on a Sunday evening when we got into a deadline panic. Then there's Matt's talent - the love that he has for his craft is huge, and the way that he understands music and the piano is astonishing. Matt offered to learn a custom setlist of classical piano interpretations of our song choices, which was the most incredible thing. Just a couple months before the wedding, we asked him how much notice he would need from us to send him the full list of songs we'd like, and whether we'd left it too late. His response was to shrug and say 'if a tune can be hummed, then it can be played on the piano - there's only so many chords'! I wish I could have that level of confidence and knowledge about anything in my life ? we sent him our (pretty mammoth) playlist, and he said he'd do what he could to work on them and get them perfect - and he really truly did. With Matt playing throughout our welcome, our ceremony, our drinks reception and our wedding breakfast, there was such a great amount of time for us to enjoy him soundtracking our day, and we would have loved to be able to just sit and listen to more of him!! Our guests, from grandparents to 3 year olds, all absolutely loved the magic that Matt created for us. There's been no end to the comments from everyone about how much they enjoyed Matt's music. From the moment guests began arriving, he was playing and creating a brilliant atmosphere. And not only was his performance itself fantastic, but his willingness to learn our custom playlist meant that our guests could guess and recognise piano renditions of songs referencing memories, TV shows, films and comedy - it was truly a highlight of our day! Thank you Matt, for *everything* you did for us in shaping our day, from learning a playlist of 60+ of our weird song choices, to recommending new music artists based on our tastes, and even by bringing along a microphone and PA for us to use for our speeches. We had such a joyful day, and you helped to build it for us. We're so grateful, thank you! "

"Louise was absolutely brilliant, she played wonderfully the list of favourites that I sent her in advance. The whole audience loved her and I would not hesitate to invite her again for future events."

"5 Star Google Review: From the moment we contacted Nigel he was nothing but helpful! He responded quickly to emails with a warm, welcoming approach. We shared our thoughts over email and then video called him to finalise the genres we liked and highlight the types of songs we wanted. The venue we had chosen had quite strict rules in regards to amplified music. Nigel was more than happy to liaise with our wedding planner which put as at ease. We also really appreciated his questionnaire that asked what our colour scheme was and what suits the groomsmen would be wearing. we really liked that he puts thought into not clashing or matching them. Guests don’t even think of this at times, so thanks Nigel :)! On the day Nigel played the venue’s piano and his own mobile one. It was so beautiful to have him there. Our guests loved listening to his music during our drinks reception. Nigel you’re a wonderful person. Your approachable and kind nature added a lovely stress free aspect to our planning process. We’re so pleased we chose to have you with us on your special day X"

"Excellent!!! What a pianist! Liam brought such an atmosphere to our daughter’s wedding. He offered suggestions when requested and his music perfectly reflected each stage of the ceremony. Thank you for making our day very special"

"Nigel set a lovely scene at our wedding (Oct 2021) and a lot of our guests were commenting on how lovely his set was. We were able to request songs beforehand and also let Nigel know which songs we’d prefer him to avoid. He was very accommodating and was a great addition to our special day. Thank you Nigel for bringing that extra bit of class and pizazz ? "
