"We were so delighted to have Mark play at our Wedding Breakfast at Westminster College Cambridge on Saturday 1 September 2018. He has such talent and is so professional and easy to work with. We cannot recommend him enough. Many of our guests asked for his details and he got many rounds of applause. Thank you so very much Mark, you made our day very special. xx"

Thank you so much Helen, it was such a pleasure to play for you both at Westminster College in September. Everything just came together perfectly on the day - wonderful venue, piano and couple! It was like playing at a concert with lots of applause too. Keep in touch, and I look forward to seeing you both in the future. x

"I was very pleased with everything on the day. Your approach to the whole process was reassuring and gave me confidence that the music was something I need not worry about. Many of those present expressed how the organ had been important and lent much to the service. Thank you."

"Hi Mark, We wanted to say thank you so much for the outstanding music you brought to Alana's wedding on 8th December. Both the music at the church and later at the reception was exceptional. Your interpretation of the Theme from the Secret Garden was beautiful: a tune that Alana had always dreamed of walking down the aisle to since a child. You rocked the church with 'Happy' whilst the register was being signed, even the vicar was moving to the beat! You're ability to play all genres from Cathedral Organ to Pop, Bollywood to Jazz was amazing. We have been asked by so many guests who you were. Of course we gave them your contact details. We hope to see you again for further celebrations in the near future. Once again, thank you Mark, you are the best. With best wishes. "

Gill, thank you for such a fantastic review! It really was a pleasure to play for you all, it was a wonderful Christmas Wedding. Also, many thanks to Neil who helped me move the keyboard so quickly out of the church to the Drinks Reception. The Ceremony was very special and I was pleased to be able to perform all the different styles of music that you asked for, especially Alana's entrance music, the Theme from the Secret Garden on piano. I wish you and the family all the best for the future, please keep in touch. Mark

"Des and Mike provided an excellent accompaniment to our family celebration in a garden setting. Perhaps we might have liked a little more jazz added to their fantastic repertoire."

"Des played at a garden party we had last week. He brought with him a bass player and together they were absolutely perfect, playing their choice of smooth, popular jazz. The music was beautifully delivered and they made such a great accompaniment to the party, the ideal background music to create a warm and swinging atmosphere and a few people couldn't resist a dance. We all loved it, young and old. Des was also highly organised, professional and conscientious. Superb, I would highly recommend Des."

"I hired Mark to accompany me for a Wedding in Hertfordshire. Mark bought along all the equipment, including a state of the art portable organ complete with surround sound . His skills as an organist and musician were fantastic, he is a pro and was excellent to work alongside . His music sounded fantastic and The Bride and Groom were so impressed they even wanted a photo of him at the end of the Wedding Ceremony. As a singer I felt relaxed and confident that he knew what he was doing which made me feel at ease. I will definitely hire him again for a future event."

"Mark, I just wanted to thank you for playing the organ so well yesterday at Mum’s funeral. It meant a lot to us, and many people complimented you at the Wake. Everything went so smoothly, which was so important to us! Thank you again."

"Thank you so much for playing for our wedding and helping to make it such a great day. Many people commented on the great choice of music, so thank you for pulling it off in such great style. The addition of your keyboard really did make all the difference, so thank you once again."

Thank you for using me for your special day. I enjoyed playing the little organ for the hymns (it was the smallest organ I have used to date with only 61 keys and 4 stops) I'm glad that the combination of pipe organ and keyboard made all the difference to the music - Walton's Coronation March was a very grand exit for you both! Good luck for the future.

"We asked Des to play the organ at our wedding on 2nd September at Cambray Baptist Church. From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and an utter professional. He didn't bat an eyelid when we asked him to play complex and unusual music and seemed to know all the old fashioned hymns we requested. When the bride was late it didn't phase him and he played continually for over 30 minutes. He mastered the Sound of Music Wedding Processional and the Can Can as well as lots of hymns. He turned up for the rehearsal and on the day was absolutely wonderful. He is extraordinarily talented and a wonderful unflappable musician. We thoroughly recommend Des - he will not let you down! "

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
