Review Centre: Pianists & Keyboardists

"With a month or so to go before our wedding (July 2015) we found ourselves without an organist. Not knowing quite what to do next, we turned to Google and found Lastminutemusicians.com. Choosing an organist from the site was such a daunting prospect given how important the organist's role was to be and not knowing if the person we would end up choosing would be any good! After a number of replies from other performers we chose Mark and we couldn't have been in better hands. Mark is a true professional and a talented performer. He is eager to please, vastly experienced and could adapt most songs/pieces of music for the organ. A week or so before our wedding, and in his own time, he visited our chapel and familiarised himself with the organ he would be playing. We also spoke frequently on the phone to discuss our thoughts regarding what we wanted to be performed and he also provided helpful suggestions and ideas without 'taking over'. On the day itself he was prompt, well presented and played beautifully. Thank you again Mark for your contribution to our special day, I really can't recommend you enough...in fact two of the guests at our wedding used Mark as the organist at their wedding having been impressed, I'm sure, at what they heard!"

Mark and Di - the pleasure was all mine! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the Binns Organ in Queens College, Cambridge - it was a treat for me too as an organist. I'm pleased that you were happy with my performance on such a hot day, the organ took time to set up for the wedding, but it was worth it. And, I got to do it all again in August for your friends wedding in the same chapel!

"10 OUT OF 10!!! In spite of the big commute to the location, Emily arrived on time and set up, unaided. Performed exactly what we wanted and really got the party going, with a lot of great comments from all of our guests. Would definitely recommend Emily without hesitation. Triocean Team."

"Sarah was absolutely amazing! I must admit I was a bit nervous going online and finding music for our ceremony without meeting with the singer/pianist in person. But as soon as Sarah started singing in the wedding with her beautiful piano, we were blown-away. A strong and elegant voice, filled our wedding service with energy and engagement. Our guests wanted to stay listening to her sing "I believe in a thing called love" (The Darkness) even after we had exit! So many of my family and friends came to us saying what an amazing job we had done selecting the singer/pianist. But to be a little honest it was a bit of luck to strike Sarah! I would definitely recommend you to not rely on pure luck, and just get her for your event! On other notes, Sarah was easy to contact and check-in before hand. It was easy for us to arrange payment with her and we felt the price was right."

"I just want to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding day. The guests loved you playing and commented how beautiful it was. It really made our wedding special and was so beautiful of what we heard, we just wished we could have heard you more instead of being so busy. Also thank you for making the process so easy when I booked you. Thanks again!!"

"Alex is not only a fantastic pianist but also a lovely guy. He made our wedding day so special, and I cannot recommend him enough. We worked out a playlist together of songs that we wanted, and he did not hesitate to learn some slightly more eclectic choices... Like video game theme songs. Listening to him play was just delightful. All our guests told us how wonderful the music was. He was professional, smart, and just took our wedding day to a whole new level. He was happy to keep the secret of my walking down the aisle song from my husband to be and jazzed up our leaving the ceremony song to keep it in line with the style we wanted. We could not have asked for more. The more people that get to hear Alex play the better. We feel lucky to have had the honour of him playing at our wedding. Thank you so much Alex, there aren't enough words to get across how much we appreciate what you did for us on our special day."

"Michael was the organist for our wedding, and we could not be happier with his services. He knew all the songs we asked of him, was early to the church (which on a stressful day was a godsend), was smartly attired. He was also very polite and kept good communication from the moment we made an enquiry. Would happily deal with again. "

"Chris was absolutely fantastic at our wedding, all our guests loved the music and have said to us how good he was before and during the ceremony. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to hire a pianist. He was so lovely as well, taking time to come and speak to us before leaving which he didn’t need to do at all. Thank you so much Chris! "

"Five stars is not enough to give Richard. He delighted three generations of our family for hours, playing and singing a huge range of songs from across the decades, encompassing every genre of music. It became a game of 'Pick a song this guy can't play.' We lost. I can't recommend Richard highly enough, and would be hugely envious of his talent were he not such a nice guy. Already planning parties to book his services again. Thanks Richard."

"Absolutely Fantastic! Piano Matt was fantastic during the lead up to and on our wedding day. Nothing was too much to ask. He created a completely bespoke package for us and was so adaptable, understanding and responded to our messages very quickly! He was amazing and we had so many compliments about his music on the day! He sang our first dance song and it was magical. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone thinking for an amazing pianist."
