"Nigel played for our wedding service and reception at Blenheim Palace. Nigel was amazing, he communicated very professionally and took his time to ensure we had just what we wanted. Nigel is a total professional and has a great ear for music and plays sensitively with emotion and passion. You can choose from an array of songs and if it’s not in Nigel's extensive repertoire, you do as we did and ask Nigel to play a specific piece for your big day, he was truly amazing and we got just what we wanted. If you are looking for your own personal piano player I cannot recommend Nigel enough, he has his own set up and quality PA System, which is aesthetically pleasing. Whatever your event or whatever genre you need pop songs, jazz, classical or you own special piece. Thank you for making our day so special, Jon and Laura "

"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."

"Pure Elegance and Emotion We feel so lucky to have had the incredibly talented Nigel as part of our wedding day. From the moment the first note played during our ceremony on 27.03.25, we were completely transported. The music was breathtaking—elegant, emotional, and so perfectly matched to the atmosphere and meaning of the moment. Not only did Nigel provide the perfect soundtrack to the most important part of our day, but his performance during the drinks reception was simply magical. His playing created a warm, sophisticated, and joyful energy that all of our guests commented on—many said it felt like being in a movie! Nigel was professional, kind, and incredibly intuitive, reading the room effortlessly and weaving music through our day in a way that made everything feel even more special. Thank you, Nigel, for sharing your gift with us and for making our celebration so unforgettable. You helped turn our dream day into something truly cinematic. With all our love and gratitude, Mr & Mr Pargeter-Prince"

"I knew the moment I heard Jon's demo tracks on the web that he was the musician for my wife's 65th Birthday Party. Jon easily met and exceeded expectations. We asked him to play Porter and Gershwin songs such as "True Love" and "Embraceable You". Jon plays with such style, it's a joy to listen. Jon had a foot injury and his tennis buddy Ian brought him to our place. Gosh, Ian's also an great pianist. My wife loved their duet of Joplin's "The Entertainer". I played a broad repertoire of "cocktail piano" standards such as "San Francisco" and "To make you feel my love.". I've been looking forward to this party for a year and so happy with the performance. Now I'm going to cook up another excuse for a party so that we can invite Jon to play again. Thank You, Jon. 10/10. Couldn't be better."

"Loved working with James. He's very professional and experienced. He'll easily handle pretty much anything you ask of him. He's played church services, weddings, funerals, classical and more contemporary concert material. Fabulous accompanist but also very talented conductor, orchestra and choir leader. Deep dark sense of humour! If you've read this far - he's your musician, book him."

"Johnny was the perfect welcome for our guest and really helped proved the atmosphere we wanted for our outdoor, vintage themed wedding reception. He played perfectly and entertained the guests for two hours. Apart from the great music he was also a really nice guy and arrived in good time before our guests arrived, he really did add something special to our already super special day! Thank you Johnny! "

"My husband and I are so fortunate to have had Mark be our pianist. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgable and flexible. He has a broad repertoire of music and was able to play all the songs we requested for our church ceremony without any issues. In addition, he was able to keep our guests hugely entertained whilst playing at our reception drinks. Would highly recommend him. "

He also played wonderfully on the organ in the church. He played everything we wanted and adapted to the different types of piano styles extremely well. Thank you Des. "

Thanks Heidi and Jon. It was a real pleasure to contribute to your big day. In spite of the Covid limited guest numbers and measures in place it was a fantastic day in a beautiful setting. One of the nicest weddings I have had the privilege to play for! Congratulations and very best wishes to you both.

"Phil played for my 60th birthday party which had a speakeasy theme. He was absolutely excellent! He played brilliantly from his massive repertoire of songs and even learned my favourite to play on the night. He improvised The Charleston expertly, to the enjoyment of all flappers present and really entered into the spirit of the party. He really made my birthday party special and to cap it all he is a thoroughly lovely man. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
