Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"We booked Sarah to play for our wedding ceremony and reception in October 2020. We thought we'd have to cancel but then the rules changed again last minute and Sarah was happy to play for us even though we only gave her a couple of week's notice! We are incredibly happy she could do it, it really made the atmosphere so wonderful even though there were only 12 of us. Whether you're having a big or small ceremony she is 100% worth booking, and we're so happy to have booked her again for our celebration next year. "

"We had the pleasure of having Nigel play at our wedding during our drinks reception. It was wonderful to have Nigel's music make our special day even more memorable! It was such a delight hearing Nigel play and a treat for our guests. Nigel can set up his piano outdoors and it looked spectacular. He has a massive repertoire of songs and it's amazingly clever the way he plays so expertly from memory. Nigel's communication in lead up to the wedding was excellent and he's a lovely guy also in person, alongside being such a talented musician. We really recommend getting live music for your wedding, it is absolutely worth it! The piano is a beautiful instrument and we could not recommend Nigel Hammond Music more. Love the Malmbergs "

"I really wanted to thank you so much, your playing was amazing and I honestly found myself just sat getting lost in the music throughout the day. It was perfect for setting the different moods needed throughout the day. I will be honest with you we spent a long time deciding whether or not live music was required and I can definitely say it was and it was one of my favourite parts of the day ( other then getting married I suppose 😁). Thank you again it was perfect. "

"Richard played at our wedding in August. I wish I could knew how to find the review page- as I would put 5 stars!!! Richard played endless amounts of beautiful music- from when we walked out after the ceremony to the wedding breakfast. The music was perfect and Richard played some songs that we asks for. Richard even announced myself and my husband as the new Mr and Mrs for the wedding breakfast! Thank you so much for making our wedding that extra bit special! We are so happy we booked you to play"

"Nigel performed during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in September and he was fantastic in every way. From the first contact, he was so easy to work with, fast to respond and nothing was too much trouble. Nigel is so talented and played everything we asked of him. We had so many compliments from our guests."

"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."

"We booked Jamie to play piano for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. Jamie is a fantastic pianist with a wide repertoire and made great recommendations which fitted with our plans during the day. He really made our day extra special and we can’t recommend him highly enough!"

"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 hired Sam to play the accordion at my uncles 90th birthday. Sam arrived early and we discussed the plan for the session. Sam has a warming personality and was very flexible in supporting the order of songs to be played. We had a great sing-along and Sam was very entertaining. I would highly recommend Sam"

"Louise was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony. She was very quick to respond to our enquiry and helped advise us on the order of our songs. She played beautifully on the day, both our song requests and welcome music for our guests. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Louise!"

"We met Nigel at a Wedding fair and knew instantly that we wanted him to play on our big day! He was so friendly and lovely to talk to. We did just that and had him play at our Wedding in September! He covered our ceremony and drinks reception and my only regret was not having him for longer. He got our guests dancing and it was so special having him play such amazing songs, we have received many compliments about him! Having Nigel made our day even more memorable. His communication was great, responded straight away and kept us updated on the lead up to the big day. He was so kind and accommodating. Honestly BOOK HIM, you won’t regret it. Thank you Nigel for being so wonderful. X"

"Mark played at my church wedding and marquee reception and he was absolutely amazing. He was punctual with his email replies, helpful with suggestions and even sent me a shortened sample of the music I'd chosen to walk down the aisle to so that I could practice walking slowly (which didn't actually happen in reality....). Lots of people commented on how good he was. I was slightly worried about the electric piano not sounding authentic but if you closed your eyes you would think it was a grand piano! What really impressed me was after asking Mark if he did any Pink Floyd or Bowie, he learnt a piano version of Pink Floyd "Great Gig in the Sky" which was one of the highlights of our day. 100% 5 stars! Currently looking for an excuse to hire him again...."

"SUCH A HUGE TALENT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t not recommend or thank Nigel enough our dealing’s with him from start to finish we’re effortlessly. He is such a professional and talented pianist. Having him play at our wedding was amazing. He was so sympathetic and accommodating after us having to change our original date and then our venue at short notice. All our guest commented on how amazing he was. You will most definitely not be disappointed having Nigel play at your wedding he really did help to make our long awaited day very special. Katie & Steve "

"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 "

"Matt was just incredible! Our favourite part of the day We contacted Matt desperately looking for a pianist who was flexible with good vibes. We'd contacted a lot of other pianists but nobody else was able to offer what we needed - until we found Matt. Our wedding day was exactly how we pictured it thanks to Matt and his amazing talent. He played our aisle song perfectly, played alongside our singers during the drinks reception (he didn't even know which songs they were singing), and played a beautiful set during the wedding breakfast. Matt was just everything we ever wanted and we cannot thank him enough. If you're considering a pianist for your wedding day, don't look any further. Matt, we wish you nothing but the best. Thank you so much."
