"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"

"Nigel played at our drinks reception and during our wedding breakfast at Shuttleworth House. He brought two pianos to enable him to play on the lawn outside for our drinks reception. The guests were warmly welcomed by his delightful playing. We absolutely loved having Nigel play at our wedding, as did our guests. Our guests were even singing along during the breakfast to his songs. I would throughly recommend Nigel, he was friendly, professional and exceptionally talented at what he does. Thank you so much Nigel! "

"We honestly had the most perfect wedding day, and we can’t thank Emma enough for being a part of it. All of our guests absolutely loved her – we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect musician to accompany our wedding. Her music, her voice, her versatility, and her warm, kind presence were everything we could have hoped for and more. We especially loved that she took song requests from our guests – it made everything feel so personal and fun. On top of that, being able to listen back to the recordings she made is such a special gift. It brings back all the memories and emotions of the day, and we’re so grateful to have that. Emma truly helped make our day unforgettable!"

"Sebastian played at our wedding October 2024 in West Sussex and provided a repertoire of chosen hymns and music for us. His experience, qualifications and background of the organ instrument was the reason why we chose him and we were not disappointed. I would highly recommend him for any type of service requiring a professional organist as his ability to bring happiness and joy to our wedding was appreciated by my husband and I along with our many guests."

"We contacted Laurence through this site to play during our ceremony at Stoke Park Pavilions. He was extremely helpful and accommodating, going out of his way to play the songs that we wanted and accompanying the Bride's Soprano Mother whilst she sang a song for us. We cannot recommend him enough and our only regret is not having the opportunity to say thank you after the ceremony (photographs etc etc). So thank you Laurence, many of our guests commented on your superb playing."

"Nigel played piano at a birthday lunch for my 80 year old mum. The event went brilliantly and many people commented on how lovely Nigel is and how good a pianist. I used to work with Nigel so know how meticulous he is by nature and he made every effort to ensure our event was a success. Thank you so much Nigel. "

"Nigel played piano during the ceremony for a wedding I organised at the Barns Hotel in Bedford. Nigel's playing was absolutely beautiful, helping to create a magical atmosphere for such a special part of the day. Nigel himself was wonderful to deal with and played all our song choices perfectly."

"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

"We recently got married at Holmewood Hall in Cambridgeshire and decided it would be lovely to make use of the baby grand piano for our drinks reception. We really struggled to find a local pianist but after much searching online I came across the lovely Nigel who was willing to travel. He had such wonderful reviews, that despite not having actually met him, we decided to book him anyway. From our initial enquiry he was so prompt and professional with organising all the details to meet our requirements, which gave us further confidence we’d made the right decision. On the day he played so very beautifully and it created such a lovely atmosphere in the hall. You’d never have thought it was his first time playing on their baby grand piano. Lots of our guests commented not only on the music but also how nice Nigel was when they had spoken to him. Our two little boys were over the moon when he played them the jungle book medley! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone else looking for their wedding. With heartfelt thanks from, Gemma and Alex Chambers. "

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Robbie play at our wedding on Saturday 24th May at Bourton Hall and we couldn’t be happier! From the start, communication was fantastic. Robbie was so friendly, easy to work with, and really went the extra mile to make everything perfect. He played beautifully on the day and created such a special atmosphere. One of the real highlights was the song he learnt just for Kiaja to walk down the aisle—such a wow moment that we’ll never forget! He’s even sending us a version of it to keep, which is such a thoughtful touch. Honestly, don’t second guess it, just book Robbie. You won’t regret it! Highly recommend to anyone looking for that magical musical touch on their special day. Thank you so much Robbie, with love from Kiaja and Rory."

"We were lucky enough to have Alan entertain us for my Mum’s recent 80th birthday bash. With no hesitation Alan joined right in with the family and was able to play anything they asked of him. Thank you Alan for helping make Mum’s day! Kindest regards and a huge thank you from the whole family Kathryn "
