"Tom Kelsey was the pianist for our wedding breakfast and we cannot recommend him enough. His piano playing was beautiful and really created the ambience we were hoping for. Really made our wedding day that bit more special!"

"Des George played at our Cancer Research Christmas Choir event. He was absolutely brilliant. He played for 4 hours solid and he absolutely nailed every song. He combined brilliantly with the drummer and everyone agreed they produced a great sound. I would unreservedly recommend Des for any function where you need live music. Not only that Des is a great guy and really got into the spirit of the occasion."

"We had the pleasure of having Andrew play at our wedding on 25th August at the Byre at Inchyra. From the moment we made our booking, Andrew was incredibly helpful and nothing was a bother. He assisted us in choosing different pieces for the ceremony and was happy to take our requests. On the day Andrew did not disappoint and played beautifully. We would highly recommend. Thank you!"

"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!"

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!

"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!"

"Before the day I was able to speak to Tom directly about any requests I had and to iron out any details of the da. On the day itself Tom contacted me by phone to let me know he was set up which was a large weight off my mind . The quality of his performance was superb and we were able to tailor it to exactly what we wanted. Many friends and family have commented on how good the piano was and we would have no hesitations in recommending to all of our friends and family. "

"Violet was amazing from start to finish. She is a lovely person and an excellent pianist. She played a variety of music both classic and more modern throughout the event, and was superb. She was very aware of the type of event is was, and she played in an excellent manner that made the event perfect. I cannot recommend her enough."

"I booked Richard as a surprise for my daughter at her wedding as she had always wanted to walk down the aisle to a violinist - we couldn't be more delighted with his performance. The wedding was held in a barn and as you walked towards where the ceremony was held you could hear the violin playing which was just magical. Richard was so helpful and accommodating, playing everything that we asked for and more, he even played Laura's aisle walk music again for her as she wanted to re-live the moment (it was a short aisle!). After the ceremony, Richard played in the background, loud enough for everyone to hear, but also be able to hold a conversation. His contribution really added to the relaxed vibe of the wedding, but I can imagine that he would be equally at home in a more formal setting. We had so many compliments with regard to Richard's playing, I am sure that he will be receiving many more requests from people attending the wedding and the venue itself who were super impressed. Not only was Richard's violin playing excellent his communication before the event was brilliant, answering emails promptly and sending us a run down of what would happen on the day. My family and I send our best wishes and thanks to Richard for being part of the wedding and helping to make our daughter's day so special."

"Anthony played beautifully for our wedding! We requested some difficult repertoire which Anthony played flawlessly and with such expression. He even prepared a new piece for our signing music. Anthony was happy to consult with us to make sure we were completely happy with our music selections. We ended up with a mixture of his suggestions and our requests which worked perfectly on the day! Thank you Anthony!"

"Mark, you did an absolutely fantastic job playing for our wedding last weekend. Everybody was talking about how beautiful your playing was. And we LOVED how you rocked up our exit song for us! You did everything we asked for and we really appreciate you learning new pieces especially for our wedding. We had great communication from you and you're a pleasant and friendly person to work with. 10/10! Recommend to anybody!"

Thank you so much Abi! As a wedding pianist it was just perfect for me - a lovely venue and team, the best piano that money can buy, and a wonderful couple and family. Your exit music Queen's 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' was a first - what great exit music! Thanks again for choosing me, best of luck for the future, keep in touch. Mark
