Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"I hired Shean to play for a vocal exam and couldn’t have asked for a more responsive and flexible accompanist. He displayed a deep knowledge of different types/eras of literature and made some excellent recommendations regarding tempi and phrasing which positively influence the outcome of the exam. I would happily work with Shean again and highly recommend him to others."

"Last weekend we held a birthday celebration for my 90 year old mother-in-law. We wanted live music to create a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Louise was the perfect choice. Her blend of popular classics, easy-listening and gentle jazz suited the occasion perfectly. She was open to requests from those present and infinitely flexible to fit our party schedule. I have no hesitation in recommending her. "

"Amelia played the piano at our 25th wedding anniversary garden party and even learnt our first dance song especially. Her beautiful relaxing music made the day really special."

"Samuel is an extremely talented musician and entertainer. Also, he was very helpful in sorting out some tech issues with the other performers too. We'll 100% be having him back next year!"

Thank you so much for booking me, and it was nice to flex the tech troubleshooting skills again ^_^

"What a find Alan is, he is polite, well dressed and above all talented. With the exception of one request from us we left him to play his choice of music based on the room and he did a fantastic job. Music was balanced, entertaining and never over powered the conversation. Alan even managed to find time to play some queen tunes at the end of the evening for a guest who used to be a Freddie tribute singer. Thanks once again for helping to make our evening so special, I would whole heartedly recommend you and will happily use you again should the opportunity arise. Regards, Kerry & Stewart. "

"We would like to thank you and to ask you to pass on our thanks to Sarah for the superb performance you both gave us at the wedding reception at Boconnoc. We received many compliments about your live music and it was a perfect way to accompany the reception drinks and create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere from the start. I know that Sarah and Charlie were extremely pleased with the music."

"We were super lucky to have Louise play at our wedding earlier this month. She is so talented at what she does, and so lovely to talk to! During the process leading up to the wedding, she made sure to check in with us and provide everything we needed. Louise also helped to guide us as we were clueless about how to plan a wedding - all our blindspots on things like having music prepared for the signing were noticed by her. She learnt new pieces especially for us to make our ceremony extra special, and then during the arrival of the guests, welcome drinks, and the wedding breakfast played tailored music from her extensive repertoire. We can't recommend Louise enough!"

"We met Nigel at a wedding show and were immediately blown away by his talent! His repertoire is seriously impressive but we also asked Nigel to play a song for me walking down the aisle that he’d never done before and he executed it to PERFECTION! The timings were all just perfect too and it just made it all that more emotional and memorable. Our guests also loved it and made comment on how lovely it was to have live music whilst they were getting seated and during the ceremony too. Communication from first booking to the day was brilliant and just so easy which was exactly what I needed! You won’t regret having Nigel as part of your special day and we can’t thank him enough for being a part of ours!"

"I had seen Nigel many months earlier at a wedding fair and immediatley decided that he was the one I wanted to play at our event. I just loved his repertoire and it resonated with me. Like many wedding couples, we had to change the date for our wedding more than once and we were so thrilled that Nigel was very easy to get hold of and responded quickly to our requests. Especially with a venue change and then having the complexity of a church service as well as a reception. It was so sweet of Nigel to do a little Facebook video and dedicate a tune for us on what would have been our wedding day and he even put on a wonderful coloured jacket to add extra pizzazz. Such a wonderful and personal touch. To help us choose, Nigel gave us a spreadsheet of his tunes and it made it very easy to tick boxes to choose our favourites. Also, as we were having a church service, Nigel especially learned a hymn that my husband particularly liked. Despite restrictions on the setting up time at the church, Nigel put on a fantastic performance. Beautiful flowers on his piano and a colour themed jacket too. Although we had restrictions on numbers of people, Nigel really made this a special and intimate event. At the reception, we were extremely happy with the wonderful background music Nigel played... it just seemed so effortless as he rolled from one tune to another. We had so many compliments on his playing and professionalism both during and after the event that we felt proud and privilidged to have him as our musician. We cannot recommend Nigel highly enough and we consider him to be the best event pianist in Milton Keynes. We will most definitly consider booking him again should we have a celebration in the future."

"I would thoroughly recommend Alan. He was easy to communicate with, reliable and very amenable. He played a great variety of songs and pitched the level perfectly which created a really nice atmosphere at our golf club dinner. "
