"Thank you just doesn't do this justice. We first spoke to Nigel at a wedding fair in MK pre COVID. We requested to hear a handful of songs and he was happy to play them there and then! We knew at that point he had to book him. Nigel was very flexible when needing to rearrange due to COVID and he communicated very effectively throughout this time. On our original date Nigel also posted on social media a preview of our wedding song which was a lovely gesture. On the day Nigel played perfectly and seamlessly moving between rooms without being noticed. He was also very considerate and wanted to check if he was playing too loudly or quietly to ensure everyone was comfortable when sitting for the wedding breakfast. Would highly recommend Nigel for any special day/event. Loved every song he played. "

"Robert played the perfect soundtrack to our wedding day, one that we'll never forget! He happily played our requests (at perfect times too which we hadn't even thought of!) And just made the whole process from start to finish so seamless. He had such a wide repertoire for us to choose from which our guests commented on how much they loved, and was such a kind and friendly presence to have around us on our special day!"

"My wife Lorraine and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony at our small parish church. The organ was in need of maintenance so he brought his own keyboard and speaker system. We chose a range of music from contemporary melody to classical, and Mark fully demonstrated his versatility in his excellent performance, simulating piano, orchestral and organ as appropriate to great effect. He accompanied the hymn singing in a very accomplished way without dominating or following. He took a great effort to establish what we wanted in advance enabling him to fully complement what was for us and our guests a very intimate and unforgettable occasion. Mark proved to be very friendly and obliging and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services for any similar event."

Thank you Gemma for inviting me to play for your wedding at Hengrave Hall. What a beautiful day it was, in such a stunning venue - I had a great time playing your requested music on the organ in the chapel, and then afterwards on the piano in the Banqueting Hall for your wedding breakfast. Your family and friends kept me busy with requests, which resulted in just about every type of music being played! Thanks for the photo's of me at the piano, I've uploaded one to my gallery. Good luck to you both, keep in touch, Mark.

"Michael is a perfect musician to invite into your home, your wedding your corporate event or serious arts programme. He is a consummate musician, able to move between genres whilst playing his own interpretations and compositions which are themselves wonderful. However, more than that, he is a great entertainer. He knows his audiences and ensures they are engaged and happy. We asked him to play at a piano warming party for a Steinway grand . There were musicians and composers there as well as people with no musical background and everyone loved it and loved him. Can’t recommend him more."

"Jon played at our ceremony and wedding breakfast in September 2023 and was absolutely fantastic. Not only is his song list extensive, he is even able to play any request you or your guests have, whether that is requested in advance if you want a specific song for the wedding processional or even day-of requests during dinner. It was such a highlight of our wedding day to hear our favorite songs played so beautifully, from animated movies like How to Train Your Dragon and Encanto, video game theme songs like Zelda and Mario, Broadway/West End music, and Taylor Swift. 11/10 would highly recommend Jon for any event!"

"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!"
