"We asked Stephen to play for us again for us and it was wonderful again! He played the accordion and our piano and it was just so easy and such a pleasure. I highly recommend him. We love his music. And he is a very nice, friendly person. We had to change the date of the party twice and were so happy he could accommodate us. He has played for us on two occasions. Each time it was brilliant! Thank you Stephen!"

"We had Matt play at our wedding, and my word, are we pleased that we did. Matt played some beautiful music, and the contemporary songs we asked him to play at key points were impeccable. Thank you!!!!"

"We booked Matt for our wedding in March 24 (which we have now cancelled due to going abroad instead) but honestly Matt has been amazing throughtout the process. His communication is fantastic and he really took the time from early on to get to know what we like so he could incorporate that into our day. When I notified Matt we were cancelling and the reasons for doing so, he has still been just as interested in us and our plans and really lovely and understanding. We are gutted not to have Matt play because his music that we have seen is amazing and he's such a fantastic person. Thanks again Matt!"

"We were so delighted to have Mark play at our Wedding Breakfast at Westminster College Cambridge on Saturday 1 September 2018. He has such talent and is so professional and easy to work with. We cannot recommend him enough. Many of our guests asked for his details and he got many rounds of applause. Thank you so very much Mark, you made our day very special. xx"

Thank you so much Helen, it was such a pleasure to play for you both at Westminster College in September. Everything just came together perfectly on the day - wonderful venue, piano and couple! It was like playing at a concert with lots of applause too. Keep in touch, and I look forward to seeing you both in the future. x

"Vikki, as we say in East Yorkshire, is a 'good 'un'. Apart from being a superb musician on both cello and electric piano, she is a very pleasant, professional person and made us feel very much at ease in the lead up to her performance. Vikki performed during what was probably the noisiest part of her event so full marks to her for playing in 'testing' circumstances, she received a standing ovation from her audience and this was richly deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend Vikki and she will certainly be very welcome back at Kilpin anytime."

"We booked Anthony to accompany 8 singers from the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge who were coming to sing at my father's Memorial Service. Their own Organ Scholar was unable to attend and we needed to find a competent organist quickly. Anthony's credentials fitted the bill perfectly and he was extremely efficient with all communications and also gave us a lot of help with choices of music and the preparation of the Order of Service. He made a huge effort to be there in time to practice with the choir on the day as well as travelling for many hours. I think he even hired a car at one point when a train was cancelled so as not to let us down. Anthony played wonderfully throughout the whole service and the choir were very happy with his accompaniment - not missing their own Organ Scholar at all! When I spoke to the Church Warden after the service he particularly asked me where our organist had come from - he said he had never heard the organ played so well and apparently they have had some very eminent organists there. He said it had never sounded better and that Anthony had truly made it 'sing'. In summing up I simply couldn't recommend Anthony more - I think you would be hard pressed to find an organist for your event who is more competent or reliable and if we ever need an organist in the future he would be my very first port of call.

"What a guy! A true professional and talented pianist that was a pleasure to listen to. Performing outdoors, with a bandstand stage, Matt Goodwin was fantastic. He grabbed our audiences attention and was easy to work with. Thank you "

"Michael was phenomenal at our wedding! We picked an unusual song for my entrance to the ceremony, so it was important that the pianist we booked could pull off a beautiful arrangement of the piece. Michael absolutely blew us away with his rendition. I held back entering the room just to listen some more and just take it all in. He was also the absolute best hype boy at the back of our ceremony during our vows. What a great person to have around as well as a fantastic musician. Thank you Michael!"

"Mark came to play for my husband's 40th Birthday and he was absolutely incredible! A true gentleman and a one of the best pianists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was so professional from the moment he arrived, he took into account all of our requests and even allowed my husband to get up and have a sing along. I now cannot wait to have more parties and will be sure to book Mark every time as he really made the party go with a bang. Mark, thank you so much, everyone loved you!"

"Nigel was great from the very moment we asked him to play on our special day, he took the time to really listen to what we wanted and on the day his piano skills wer fantastic and was a real hit with our guests. Nigel played throughout our ceremony, wedding breakfast and drinks reception in which he preformed with Andrew a singer who he had recommended."

"We booked Sarah only a few weeks before our wedding, and i have to say she surpassed all our expectations. She learnt new songs especially for us, which is sang and played perfectly. She also has a huge repertoire so there is something there for everyone. So many of our guests asked after her, and said how fantastic they thought she was both as a singer and pianist. She was a fantastic late addition to our wedding, which made it extra special. Thank you Sarah, you helped make our perfect wedding day complete. Anne & Suren"

"Nigel beautifully played the piano at our wedding at Shuttleworth House on 29th August 2021. He played a lovely composition of music for the arrival of our guests, throughout the wedding ceremony and also wedding breakfast. Nigel is a true gent and was a major part of creating the perfect atmosphere at our wedding through his music and demeanour. He very kindly offered to also learn additional songs to his repertoire which we had requested and played those beautifully. The guests also commented on Nigel's wonderful piano playing and enjoyed his presence greatly. We can't thank Nigel enough for being a part of our wedding and his service from the first time we contacted him, has been extraordinary. He was very helpful, reliable and extremely prompt with his responses which we valued greatly. Thank you once again, Nigel! "
