Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Mark for playing at our wedding (November 2015)! Mark was so helpful and professional every time that we dealt with him. He was happy to play all of our crazy requests and did a great job on the day. The music was beautiful and our guests loved it! "

It was a pleasure to play for your drinks reception at Anstey Hall back in November. I enjoyed performing your playlist too, the little ones especially enjoyed the theme from Frozen! Please keep in touch, and I look forward to playing for you again in the future. Mark

"Matt delighted our wedding guests with his truly adaptable style; classic hymns during the service itself, iconic film soundtrack for the procession out of church - and a very helpful addition to any groom's speech; ten 1980s TV soundtracks seamlessly woven into improvisation whilst we awaited the arrival of the (very lovely) bride! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"Stephen made our party a massive success. He was so cooperative in playing all the different genres of music we requested and created a wonderful fun atmosphere; without him the party would have been nowhere near as fantastic as it was. Without exception everybody had a great time thanks to him."

"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"

"Stephen was absolutely first class ! His communication was excellent and above all his music was perfect. He played at a wake for us ( probably something he doesn’t get asked to do too often!) and he created a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone said how good he was and he helped us through a difficult day. I cannot thank him enough. If you need a pianist book this lovely man . Thank you Stephen! "

Dear Tracy Thanks so much for your review, I was honoured to play piano for your mother's wake, very best wishes Stephen.

"We engaged Mark to play for us during our annual conference dinner in the stunning Victorian Gallery of Leicester's New Walk Museum. It was wonderful to hear the gentle sounds of the piano on our arrival as we made our way to the gallery. Mark then continued to play for us whilst having our early evening drinks and then during the meal itself. He thoughtfully kept the lid in place on the museum's grand piano so he did not drown out our conversation, but instead provided a delightful backdrop to it. Mark offered to play requests for us but we did not take him up on this; instead we trusted him to find the right pieces for the evening. He played a wide range of material, including classical favourites, famous film scores, and the latest hits. He set just the right tone for the evening, with the piano offering a delightful accompaniment to our dinner. In such a beautiful setting, we all thought Mark's playing had really made our evening. We really did appreciate it, thank you so much! "

"we were looking for a pianist for our wedding at burythorpe it was a last minute decision so i decided to look on this web site and i listened to vikki music it was absolutely beautiful it was played with so much passion so i contacted her and lucky for us she was available to play on the Saturday not much notice 5 days but we gave her a list of music that we wanted and didn't expect her to be able to accommodate us but it all came back good and on the day of our wedding vikki was punctual on time and nothing was to much for her and the music was absolutely beautiful i would recommend her for any function playing the piano /keyboard without hesitation good luck vikki "

"Robbie provided a great service at our recent winter wedding in December 2022 He was easy to communicate with, taking the time to answer the queries that I had via email in a timely way and kept us in the loop in the lead up to the wedding. Robbie played beautifully throughout our drinks reception, adding a lovely feel to our day and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you for your part in our special day Mr & Mrs Wilson "
