"Christa was absolutely faultless from start to finish. She was so friendly and quick when communicating. Anything we asked she was happy to accommodate and nothing was too much trouble. She made the whole process so easy. Christa played at our wedding in the church and created such a beautiful atmosphere and learnt a song for our aisle music which was just perfect. Thank you so much Christa you gave us memories we will have forever and really made our day. I’m so glad we chose you!"

"Nigel played during our wedding reception and ceremony at Chicheley Hall. Nigel was thoroughly professional, enthusiastic and courteous. Could not have asked for a better musician to create the ambiance we were looking for. Put in extra effort to play our requested song and kept us updated beforehand."

"We hired Mark for our wedding and from start to finish he was absolutely incredible. We went through several months of planning where Mark not only suggested some great songs but accommodated a number of our own special requests. On the day his experience really paid off as he combined the church organ with his own digital keyboard, which was perfect for the traditional yet upbeat mix of songs we were looking for. Mark also played the piano during the wedding breakfast and we were inundated with comments on how good he was. It is obvious why he has been chosen to play at such top London restaurants (we even had dinner at the Gilbert Scott before the wedding just so we could hear Mark play and we was fantastic as ever). As well as a gifted musician Mark is also the ultimate professional, always available to talk and quick to respond to any issues. He even worked closely with our singer to ensure they had the correct versions of each song we requested. He took all the stress out of managing the music in the build-up and on the day, something which we found invaluable with everything else that goes with planning a wedding. If you need an organist/pianist for any event we simply cannot recommend Mark highly enough! "

James, thank you for such a lovely review. It was a lovely day, and very busy for me at Hengrave Hall - after nearly a year in the planning it was good to see everything running like clockwork on the day. I wish you both a great future, please keep in touch and come and see me at the Gilbert Scott sometime!

"We were incredibly grateful to Shean for stepping in at short notice to accompany the choir and to perform a few organ solos in our Advent concert; he also played for our rehearsal the day before. Shean's communication leading up to the concert could not have been more helpful or prompt, fees were quickly agreed and within budget. Shean was good fun to work with and very professional, both choir and audience thoroughly enjoyed his playing, and we have no hesitation in recommending him."

"Nigel was the pianist for our wedding and he was fantastic. Nigel was very professional on the day as well as during the booking process. Nigel played all of the songs we asked for and all of our guests commented how much they had enjoyed the music for our ceremony and wedding breakfast. We would strongly recommend Nigel as a wedding pianist and check out his U Tube videos to confirm his style is what you are looking for. Thank you Nigel for being part of our special day. "

"Thank you for being so flexible and quick to respond with our requests for songs and set up! Having two pianos to transition from the ceremony to the reception space made the afternoon flow seamlessly. We were loved your performance in the build up to the ceremony and it set the tone perfectly. Both we and all the guests really enjoyed your repertoire during the drinks reception. We will definitely be recommending you to any friends that have events or weddings in the future!"

"Reliable, proficient, and flexible, Ben is regularly able to tackle an array of requests and requirements from our wide programme of events. His technical skill with a piano is only matched by his triumph on the organ."

"We honestly cannot thank Matt enough, he made the atmosphere during the ceremony & we were overwhelmed by his professionalism, patience & overall wonderful nature. It was so lovely to hear most of the tables during our wedding breakfast, guessing the songs! Also, the feedback received from our guests was amazing - they were all saying how lovely Matt is! Thank you so much Matt, we can’t recommend you enough!"

"Des was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. He is an extremely talented, professional pianist who created a beautiful atmosphere during our wedding breakfast. He also played wonderfully on the organ in the church. He played everything we wanted and adapted to the different types of piano styles extremely well. Thank you Des. "

Thanks Heidi and Jon. It was a real pleasure to contribute to your big day. In spite of the Covid limited guest numbers and measures in place it was a fantastic day in a beautiful setting. One of the nicest weddings I have had the privilege to play for! Congratulations and very best wishes to you both.

"Sofia performed at an event hosted by the University of Oxford's Vice-Chancellor. The Vice-Chancellor and other guests thoroughly enjoyed her performance. She has an incredible and mesmerising voice and was confident in introducing each piece. I would thoroughly recommend her for both intimate and large gatherings."
