"We were very privileged to have Nigel play at pre-drinks at our New Year’s Celebration on the 11th January 2018, at the Holiday Inn - Milton Keynes East. Nigel is very professional; is a very compassionate player and plays such a variety of awesome music. I would highly recommend Nigel."

"To say it went well would be a major understatement! A 5 Star performance of a wonderful choice of music, most of which was played from memory. Besides her prodigious talent, Anna herself is such a charming and animated person; we feel quite humbled to have met her, on and off the stage. She has certainly made friends as well as fans of our members here in Wales."

"Mark is, quite simply, exceptional. When we were looking for an organist for our wedding, he was the the most responsive, enthusiastic and engaging of anyone that we contacted. He took great care to ensure that we had the pieces of music that we wanted and he surprised us with his range of musical genres. On the day of the wedding, Mark turned up early and spent a lot of time familiarising himself with the church organ. He also brought his own equipment as a back-up which we thought was a good idea. His performance during the wedding ceremony was faultless and had the whole congregation singing along! We could not have been happier with our choice of Mark as our organist. He is great!"

Thank you Brian and Nicki for such a lovely review, I'm so pleased that the music was so well received by everyone present. We really did have a variety of music didn't we, Vivaldi to Genesis! You were both a pleasure to work with, and I wish you luck with everything that you do in the future. Mark (June 2016)

"Robbie was a pleasure to work with! He enthusiastically learned every song we asked and made them fit together seamlessly for the ceremony. Communicated with us in the run up to the day, arrived on time to the venue to set up, and played post-ceremony as well. Friendly, professional, and great musician."

"Sam was amazing in every way - he was accomodating with all song requests and played our ceremony and reception drinks beautifully! He was such a professional and entertaining performer. Even before we booked Sam, he accommodated every query I had - I including sending me a bespoke video of songs I wanted him to perform! Thank you so much Sam!"

"Emily provided the music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at a historic venue. She created two custom arrangements one of which was not, erm a traditional wedding song but came out beautifully on the day. She was also very responsive via email and willingly answered all of our questions about the day. Highly recommend. Thanks Emily! "

"Sarah Green provided the music at our wedding ceremony and at our drinks reception. Sarah was really helpful in suggesting music but also really flexible for our needs. She even played our more obscure choices. Her music was played beautifully and really added to the atmosphere of our day. Our guests loved the mix of classical, pop, disney and also a bit of rock - we also loved it. Sarah was very professional and supported our day perfectly- i would definitely recommend! "

"Thank you James, just a quick note to thank you for your wonderful contribution to our Thanksgiving Service and reception on Saturday. As you may know our guests included a wide range of people both church goers and non church goers and so it was extremely important to have a strong pianist to provide melodic support for the hymns. Your playing before and after the service gave great ambiance and it was so wonderful to see the grand piano being used and played so skilfully. Thank you again for your kind assistance."

"A huge thank you to Nigel for the wonderful music you provided for our wedding ceremony at Chicheley Hall in October! As I was booking you as a little surprise for my husband to be, you made the process so easy and everything was kept under wraps perfectly until the day. I've had such wonderful feedback from the guests about the music while they were arriving, and I was over the moon about the little mix of songs you created for the ceremony itself. Thank you so much for being such a key part of this very important event for us."

"Thanks, Alan, for your splendid performance at our sailing club's Christmas lunch. What a range of music! We had traditional carols and Christmas tunes, some classical pieces as well as some bluesy numbers - all delivered with flawless precision. I loved the impro inserts when you segued from one piece to the next. The attitude of performers is so important on occasions like ours, and you got it just right - friendly and accommodating, just as happy to be in the background as you were to be up front. You certainly added that extra ingredient that made the whole lunch such a success. Thanks once again, Peter Warburton Commodore Lee-on-the-Solent Sailing Club "

The manner in which he conducted himself from start to finish and communicated promptly and listened to our needs was so impressive, a genuinely lovely guy who will make any event you wish unforgettable. Thank you Matt, from us both "

"We booked Vikki for our Harry Potter themed wedding and she was superb. The song list she holds is extensive (classical and modern) and even learnt some pieces that we requested to tie in with the Harry Potter theme. Before the wedding Vikki was incredibly professional, prompt, polite and efficient with communication. On the big day, Vikki arrived on time and played beautifully. Many guests enjoyed listening to her and commented on how impressed they were with her musical ability. Vikki - you truly made our wedding magical with your music - we would recommend you to anyone. Thank you so much! Lauren & Andrew"

"We were absolutely delighted with Nigel’s performance at our wedding at Rushton Hall. From the moment guests arrived to the final notes at the end of the wedding breakfast, his music brought warmth, elegance, and a truly personal touch to our day. Walking down the aisle to “Heaven” played live by Nigel was one of the most emotional moments of the ceremony. Nigel played “Came here for love” as our exit song and he timed it all just perfectly. During the reception and wedding breakfast, Nigel captured the mood perfectly, and tweaked the music to ensure the audience was consistently entertained. But what really blew everyone away was our reception walk-in as Nigel learned and performed “Chase the Sun” just for us, and it went down an absolute treat with our guests! The energy, the surprise, the joy, it was an unforgettable moment. Nigel was a dream to work with: professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our day special. He took the time to understand our vision and went above and beyond to deliver it. If you're looking for a pianist who combines talent, heart, and a flair for being able to read his audience then Nigel should be your number one choice. We’re so grateful he was part of our celebration."

"Mark was brilliant from the moment we contacted him right the way through to the end of the event. We could not have chosen a better pianist for our wedding! He was so catering towards the songs we wanted to be played, he also went above and beyond to learn a particular bollywood song that we wanted. Given that we were a covid bride and groom, Mark constantly reassured our stresses and supported us throughout. When some things did not run on time, Mark used his initiative and played such lovely music to “fill the gaps”. Not only is Mark an amazing pianist but a very kindhearted man too! We received so many compliments about the Bollywood pieces that Mark played during our canapes, everyone absolutely loved him. Mark you are so talented! Thank you so much for playing at our wedding, you made the day that much more special. We are so happy you were a part of it!"

"Stephen was first class, arrived early and stayed as late as he could given he had another gig across the country that evening. My Nan loved him and still talks about the music at her birthday. Stephen made the effort to learn a couple of her favourite tunes and was just brilliant on the day. 5*"
