Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"We engaged Mark to play for us during our annual conference dinner in the stunning Victorian Gallery of Leicester's New Walk Museum. It was wonderful to hear the gentle sounds of the piano on our arrival as we made our way to the gallery. Mark then continued to play for us whilst having our early evening drinks and then during the meal itself. He thoughtfully kept the lid in place on the museum's grand piano so he did not drown out our conversation, but instead provided a delightful backdrop to it. Mark offered to play requests for us but we did not take him up on this; instead we trusted him to find the right pieces for the evening. He played a wide range of material, including classical favourites, famous film scores, and the latest hits. He set just the right tone for the evening, with the piano offering a delightful accompaniment to our dinner. In such a beautiful setting, we all thought Mark's playing had really made our evening. We really did appreciate it, thank you so much! "

"We'd just like to say a huge thank you to you and your colleagues for playing the string quartet on our wedding day, it was truly beautiful and you ensured there was not a dry eye in the place when Jessica walked down the aisle to the bittersweet symphony! Both of us realised we did not get the chance to thank you all on the day, we are very sorry for this as it would have been great to talk to you and thank you in person! Thank you again for a remarkable wedding day! "

"Mark was fantastic, spent a lot of time in advance of the wedding helping us decide song choices and ordering, right through to the ceremony itself where the music was simply incredible. I’d always dreamed of having an organ in the church and Mark enabled us to achieve exactly that. He played a mix of classic and more modern songs which gave the perfect balance. Mark then stayed and played the piano in our wedding breakfast, this was a fantastic set where lots of guests commented on the wonderful songs he played. Mark was fantastic, a true professional and would highly recommend. "

"5 Star Google Review: Don't even know where to start.... Nigel was amazing from beginning to end 💕 I found Nigel through my recommendation list through my wedding venue (huntsmill farm) and they were absolutely spot on to recommend him as he was simply amazing 😊 Even though I booked Nigel way in advance he was very happy to communicate with me as often as needed! I wasn't afraid to be myself and put to him requests that may not be the usual one's he would be asked to perform, so when I requested he played creep by Radiohead when I walked down the aisle he didn't even question it or hesitate, he simply put 2 demos together for me to choose from and when I heard the softer version I cried! This was exactly what I wanted and knew my partner would love too ❤️ and this proved to be true as on our wedding day Nigel delivered it so perfectly it showed in my partners emotions as I walked towards him 😍 Nigel performed every song I requested so beautifully and also his own songs too ( never did i ever think Thomas the tank engine could sound so romantic) I couldn't recommend this man highly enough ❤️ His exact words to me were... " I have a wonderful job because I am effectively paid to gate crash people's weddings as long as I play the piano" my response was " for us you wasn't a gate crasher, you were very much a valuable guest, you played an extremely important part of our day, and made it just as special as every person there" and I stand by that! Nigel you are one in a million and I can't thank you enough for being a part of our day ❤️"

"We booked Nigel to play the piano at our wedding in May. Wow! He is an absolutely incredible pianist with a huge repertoire, spanning many genres, which he plays from memory. Our guests loved him and so did we! He made our special day even more special and created a wonderful atmosphere! Nigel also has a fabulous personality, is extremely professional and efficient and responds promptly to emails. He really works closely with you, to ensure that he understands your preferences and adapts accordingly to changing situations throughout your event. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel for weddings and other special events and would definitely book his services again!"

"James played at our wedding at Mottram Hall and he was brilliant! We asked James to play during the ceremony and the drinks reception afterwards and we couldn’t have been happier - we got to choose a walk in and exit song and also a couple of songs for signing the register! The rest of the time James played songs from his list that he sent to us in advance and our guests were very complimentary of all the music. We would definitely recommend James to any family and friends who are looking for a pianist at any event but if you are looking for a pianist at your wedding then there is no need to look further than James - he is also a great guy and definitely good value for your money!"

"Matt was amazing to make our ceremony that bit more special by surprising the bride with a live rendition of dancing queen to walk down the aisle to. Despite being a last minute request, Matt was able to play a bespoke playlist of music for our ceremony and helped to make it so much more special. Thank you so much Matt, the bride absolutely loved the surprise and you played everything so beautifully. Great responsiveness and just a great guy!"
