Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"Des provided live solo piano entertainment at our home for my wife's 60th birthday. We had about 45 guests and we are lucky enough to have a large lounge with our own baby grand. Des started playing at about 3.30 in the afternoon and played and entertained our guests for 6 hours on and off with every style of music from classical to jazz. It was absolutely brilliant and we are very grateful to him for helping make the day complete. "

"Amy played at my baby shower and she was absolutely amazing! She has a huge repertoire of songs you can choose from, and all my guests absolutely loved her! It really was the highlight of the day, and I'd strongly recommend Amy to anyone looking for live piano at their event. Thank you Amy!"

"We hired Andrew to play during our wedding ceremony and he was absolutely fantastic! From day one he was professional, polite and helpful. I requested a specific song to be played as I walked down the aisle, it wasn’t very well known and was a little bit random! It was no trouble for Andrew, he learned the song without any sheet music, sent us a demo of him playing and even agreed to a meet up before the wedding. The ceremony was beautiful, and he certainly played a big part in making our day special and perfect. Andrew is not only a fantastic pianist, but a genuinely lovely guy too. Thank you so much! "

"We booked Nigel for our wedding at Plum Park Manor on 31st August after seeing him play at one of their open days. We originally booked for just the ceremony, but then added the drinks reception too. Just wow! I don’t think I have ever met anyone so talented, when he sent his repertoire over I was amazed at how many songs he knew how to play by heart 😳. The communication, booking and song choosing process was great. Nigel even filmed me walking down the aisle with him playing which I am forever grateful as this is something I will treasure forever! We asked if he could play some Oasis on the day as our guests were gutted they missed out on tickets 🤣 and this was no problem at all. Thank you so much Nigel you are a star! 🤩 100% recommend!"

"Mark, thank you so much for playing the organ at Christchurch for Amy's wedding on Saturday 5th November. The music sounded amazing from start to finish - so many of our guests commented on how brilliant you were. We loved your use of the keyboard for Amy's entrance 'A Thousand Years' which sounded so lovely on the piano. You certainly were the right man for the job, giving us help and advice in choosing the music, then visiting us at the church to see the organ and discuss the final musical details with us. Your music set the tone and atmosphere for the whole day. We have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking for a wedding musician, we now know why you are so highly rated on Last Minute Musicians! Christchurch, Swindon. 5th November 2016"

It was lovely to come to Christchurch in Swindon to play for Amy and Alistairs wedding. I enjoyed playing the organ there, and using my keyboard alongside the main organ to play piano music and MP3 recordings of Amy's deceased father Gary singing them down the isle for their Exit music. It was very special, what a fantastic voice Gary had! Thanks for choising me to play for you.

"I hired Laura to play at my wedding. She was very helpful and communicative the whole time. She has an extensive song list and is happy to take requests! For the wedding we requested a few songs that were not on her list and she gave us consistent updates on her progress of learning them. We were uncertain about how some songs would sound on the piano, so she reassured us on how these were going in her practice. The final result ended up being great on the day! Laura’s music really left an impression on me and my wedding guests. I could hear her doing warm-ups and playing for the guests while I was waiting to walk down the aisle and found her playing to be very calming. During the ceremony all of the songs came out perfectly and created a great ambiance! I’m very grateful for all of her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for an event pianist."

"My 80th birthday celebration was held at Woughton House Hotel Milton Keynes. To compliment the day Nigel Hammond an accomplished Pianist really made the day wonderful. He not only played music requested but also played a wide variety of songs of his own choice A really talented pianist"

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Mark for playing the organ so wonderfully at our wedding this weekend (9th Jan 2016). From the moment I first spoke with Mark, I knew we were in good hands. We contact Mark fairly last minute and finalised the music for the wedding only a week before the day but there was never a moment when I felt panicked as Mark always put us at ease about the whole process. I would definitely recommend Mark for any event that requires musical talent! "

Cara, thank you so much for a lovely review. I was very pleased with the music too, and the Haupwerk computer organ in church was a joy to play - it was like playing a cathedral organ! I wish you both all the luck in the world for the future.

We are so grateful that you played at our event and you made such a difference. Especially as you were the most reasonable quote. Will definitely be booking you again."

"We would like to express our gratitude to Nigel for his contribution in helping to make our wedding as magical and perfect as we'd hoped it would be. Nigel's piano playing was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Our guests also commented on how impressed they were by his performance. Both ourselves, and our guests, were most impressed not only by his selection of music and how well it was performed; but also by the size of the repertoire and; how he just seemed to effortlessly move from one piece to the next; all off by heart. Nigel is truly a fantastic person and musician, and we couldn't be more grateful to have found the perfect performer for our wedding, in which he played throughout our Ceremony, Drinks Reception and Wedding Breakfast. Sending our best regards and warmest wishes for your future endeavours."
