Review Centre: Pianists (Pop/Rock)

"What can we say, Nigel was a fantastic edition to our weeding day, On the build up to our wedding we had spent a lot of time listening to piano based music trying to find something suitable for various parts of the day. People entering the ceremony, the bridal walk, the music during dinner etc, we then stumbled accros Nigel who was local to us in Milton Keynes, not only did he provide a wide range of fantastic music for weddings he also allowed us some requests of which added a personal touch to our day. It felt a privilege that Nigel had taken the time to learn some songs that had been apart of our journey as a couple, it was beautiful to hear them on the day to not only settle the nerves but to have our guests recognise them!! Nigel is professional throughout the day playing a fantastic array of songs suitable for weddings, even taking requests from the kids, highly talented and a master of his craft it was a joy to watch our daughters face as she recognised “let it go” being played as her request. We would recommended Nigel for any wedding or party event, an absolute please to deal with though out the whole process, he took a lot of the stress away from us which ultimately was the goal… Thank you Nigel The Crosbie’s"

"We had Nigel play the piano for our wedding on 27th August 2023, and he was amazing! Everyone said how beautiful the piano playing was, Justin had the James Bond theme for his entrance and me and my bridesmaids had 'He Sleeps' from Pretty woman which was just gorgeous. You really did us proud Nigel, we cannot thank you enough for your beautiful piano playing. "

"I booked Amy to play at our wedding and cannot recommend her enough. From beginning to end she was professional and organised and nothing was too much trouble. Amy suggested a playlist as well as asking us for any songs we would like played and even made us a memento of her playing at the wedding to listen to after, which was such a lovely touch. Amy’s piano playing was exceptional and really added to the ambience of our drinks reception. It was the perfect addition and we had plenty of lovely comments. Thank you Amy, you were amazing and we were so pleased to have you at our wedding and would definitely consider booking you in the future. 5 stars without a shadow of a doubt."

"On behalf of our whole family, I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for the beautiful music you provided at James and Victoria’s wedding. Your performance brought a real sense of warmth and sophistication to the day. From the ceremony to the reception, every piece you played felt perfectly chosen and set the tone wonderfully. Sharing the Interstellar theme especially made Steve’s day—he hasn’t stopped talking about it since! Thank you for your professionalism, your talent, and for being such an unforgettable part of their special day. So many of our guests commented on how moving and memorable the music was. Wishing you all the best, and we hope to have the pleasure of hearing you again at future events."

"Tom recently played at my wedding in May 2018. He made our special day that extra bit special and I could not thank him enough for that. He played so flawlessly throughout the day, even covered pieces of music we had requested for certain parts of the ceremony. We feel very lucky and appreciative to have had Tom perform on our big day. If you are looking for a professional pianist to make your day that extra bit special, regardless of the event, I genuinely could not recommend Tom highly enough. "

"Guys! I cannot thank you enough for Saturday. You were both absolutely incredible and so many people have commented on your talent. You adapted so well to the weather and the music was amazing. The song for Rachel walking down the aisle was exactly as we had dreamt it and will be such a special memory for us forever. Thank you so so so much!"

"I just wanted to say a big "thank you" for playing on Sunday. Pat (the birthday girl) loved it, and keeps talking about how perfect the music was. It really made the atmosphere of the day. Thank you also for including some of her favourites after our very last minute request. We will highly recommend you to anyone considering a pianist for their event. Many thanks. Hannah Banks"

"We booked Jeremy for our wedding on the Isle of Skye in July 2017. He was absolutely fantastic and created the perfect atmosphere we were looking for. His chosen set was spot on and kept all of the guests entertained throughout the evening. He is extremely professional to deal with and super talented. We can't recommend him enough! We look forward to attending one of his gigs in the future."

"Nigel played for us at my 70th birthday lunch at the MK Gallery Sky Room. He played for 2 and 1/2 hours during the lunch service (even though I'd only paid for 2 hours!) Nigel's music selection was perfect for the occasion and he is an accomplished musician. Nigel was very easy to work with setting up the event and on the day itself. I hope I shall have the opportunity to use Nigel's musical talents again!"

"We had the pleasure of meeting and enjoying the incredible talent of this outstanding entertainer during our 16-day cruise in 2025 aboard the Coral Princess. Every evening after the main Princess show, we made it a point to go to the piano bar to see him perform. It quickly became the highlight of our nights on board. His talent, energy, and ability to connect with the audience are truly exceptional. What impressed us the most was his extraordinary musical repertoire. During the entire duration of the cruise, he never once repeated the same song. In all our years of cruising — more than 25 cruises — we had never experienced anything like it. His performances were always fresh, engaging, and filled with enthusiasm, humor, and remarkable musical skill. Beyond his talent as a pianist and singer, he has a natural gift for entertaining people and creating a lively, joyful atmosphere where everyone feels involved and part of the show. We were truly saddened to learn that he will no longer be performing on cruise ships. In fact, we would have gladly booked another cruise — regardless of the destination — just to experience his performances again. However, while this may be a loss for cruise audiences, it will certainly be a great gain for the venues and audiences fortunate enough to welcome him. I can confidently say that any audience will be delighted by his presence, talent, and charisma. We highly and enthusiastically recommend him to any venue looking for a truly exceptional entertainer. Your clients will undoubtedly be thrilled to discover such a talented performer in your program. Sincerely, Claude Paradis (The Coral Princess)"

The dance floor was never empty and they were incredibly professional throughout our conversations before and for the set up on the day. All of the guests loved the music and commented on how good they were, it really made the evening of our wedding. We would highly recommend."

"I booked Rob for our elegant end-of-year ball. Rob took our logistically complex moments in his stride and was so flexible when things changed. The sets were fantastic, I've already recommended him to several people to book for other events. Firmly in my 'little black book' for future gigs. Thanks! "

"Jules and Anne-Marie was the perfect choice for my Wedding ceremony and drinks reception. They were so professional and incredibly talented, I couldn’t have asked for better musicians for the day. They created the most dreamy and memorable atmosphere with the most beautiful music and even went out of their way to accommodate a specific song request! Perfect communication throughout and such a joy to meet too! I feel very lucky to have them play on our wedding day."
