Thankyou for being so accomodating with all of us - I`m sure it wasn`t easy! I hope you had a good journey home and a successful time next month on the ships. I do hope we meet again, speak soon, Sian"

"Constance played the piano at our golden wedding anniversary dinner for friends and relatives. A wide range of show music, including Gilbert & Sullivan, was beautifully played to the delight of our guests. Constance is talented, friendly, and communicated with us very well. We cannot speak too highly of her and, without hesitation, recommend her."

"A MASSIVE thank you for being amazing on the lead up to and on our wedding day and you are so lovely too! Your music was beautiful in both the church and at Spring Grove House and many of our guests have commented on how great you were. We are so glad we added you on to the church too, as you made those key moments even more special and we would have regretted not having you there. Thank you again!"

"Nigel performed at our Christmas Shopping Event in November, our customers loved his festive performance! Nigel was extremely professional, with great communication before the event and arrived early on the day to ensure he was all set up on schedule. Thank you so much. "

"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"

"From first meeting Nigel to our wedding day everything was perfect. He was so kind, so professional. We just felt so at ease. He was reliable, quick to reply to emails and provided the perfect ambiance on the day. Would recommend!!! Thank you!!!"

"We booked Matt for our wedding in March 24 (which we have now cancelled due to going abroad instead) but honestly Matt has been amazing throughtout the process. His communication is fantastic and he really took the time from early on to get to know what we like so he could incorporate that into our day. When I notified Matt we were cancelling and the reasons for doing so, he has still been just as interested in us and our plans and really lovely and understanding. We are gutted not to have Matt play because his music that we have seen is amazing and he's such a fantastic person. Thanks again Matt!"

"Thanks for doing such a great job with 'Looking Back' on Monday. An excellent concert, lovely playing in tricky repertoire at astonishingly short notice. I hope you enjoyed it as much as the audience clearly did!"

"With a month or so to go before our wedding (July 2015) we found ourselves without an organist. Not knowing quite what to do next, we turned to Google and found Lastminutemusicians.com. Choosing an organist from the site was such a daunting prospect given how important the organist's role was to be and not knowing if the person we would end up choosing would be any good! After a number of replies from other performers we chose Mark and we couldn't have been in better hands. Mark is a true professional and a talented performer. He is eager to please, vastly experienced and could adapt most songs/pieces of music for the organ. A week or so before our wedding, and in his own time, he visited our chapel and familiarised himself with the organ he would be playing. We also spoke frequently on the phone to discuss our thoughts regarding what we wanted to be performed and he also provided helpful suggestions and ideas without 'taking over'. On the day itself he was prompt, well presented and played beautifully. Thank you again Mark for your contribution to our special day, I really can't recommend you enough...in fact two of the guests at our wedding used Mark as the organist at their wedding having been impressed, I'm sure, at what they heard!"

Reply by Mark Burton - Wedding Organist / Pianist
Mark and Di - the pleasure was all mine! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the Binns Organ in Queens College, Cambridge - it was a treat for me too as an organist. I'm pleased that you were happy with my performance on such a hot day, the organ took time to set up for the wedding, but it was worth it. And, I got to do it all again in August for your friends wedding in the same chapel!

"If you are considering a pianist please let it be Nigel Hammond! He is professional, easy to get on with, flexible and plays beautifully. Nigel brought something very different to our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and we are so glad that he was able to be our pianist. He played something for everyone and even the children enjoyed the music. Nigel is responsive and has a lovely sense of humour, he always responded to our emails very quickly and the booking process was straightforward. Thank you Nigel."

"Horacio stepped in as rehearsal pianist at the last minute to cover a soloists' rehearsal for Hashtag Opera's performance of Donizetti's."

"Nigel played the antique grand piano at Shuttleworth House for our drinks reception. We are so glad we booked Nigel, he is very talented and played a wide range of songs. We received great feedback from our guests. We highlighted before the event a few songs that we definitely want played, it was so special hearing them on the day. Especially the Jurassic Park theme tune which we loved!"

"Just wanted to send you a short note to say A BIG THANK YOU for being such a big part of the day. The weekend was totally amazing from start to finish. We have received so many compliments from guests - about the venue, the location, the music, the service, the food and drinks, the decorations - in fact everything! We have so many special memories that will stay with us a lifetime. The piano was such a lovely touch - especially the bride reveal on the staircase - something we’ll always cherish. Thanks you again for playing such a special part. All the very best from, Derek and Helen Emily and Connor"
