"Robbie was a pleasure to work with! He enthusiastically learned every song we asked and made them fit together seamlessly for the ceremony. Communicated with us in the run up to the day, arrived on time to the venue to set up, and played post-ceremony as well. Friendly, professional, and great musician."

"Erin played at my daughter's wedding in July. Absolutely wonderful pianist and so helpful and reliable, keeping in contact throughout the run up to the wedding. Very thoughtful as well, playing my daughter's favourite piece while the videographer was filming. Brilliant service and I would recommend her without hesitation."

"5-Star Google Review: We first saw Nigel at a wedding fair at Plum Park and we were both impressed by the seemingly effortless way he played from memory and he seemed like a very friendly guy. Once we had booked our date we discussed having Nigel play and decided the money would be better spent elsewhere so we reluctantly decided to just use a playlist, but I knew how much Kevin had liked the idea of live music so I contacted Nigel in secret to book him for our ceremony and wedding breakfast as a gift. Nigel was super responsive and really up for keeping the surprise a secret as long as possible. I chose the music from Nigel’s huge repertoire based on what we’d planned from a Spotify playlist and as we wanted our exit tune to be Happy Together by the Turtles, Nigel learnt this specifically for us. Nigel was fantastic on the day, texting me to let me know he was there and had set up without being spotted. Some of our guests were tasked with keeping Kevin away from the ceremony room and we managed to keep the surprise right up until his registrar interview. We had set up a camera near the piano to video the speeches. Without any prompting Nigel kindly turned this to each person speaking so we got each speech perfectly in shot too, a small extra thing which meant the world to us. Many of our guests commented on how brilliant he was and his playing set a wonderful tone for our day. I’m so glad I decided to book him and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone. Thank you Nigel! Jo & Kevin"

"Stephen was an absolute star! He made my evening so special. Such a talented pianist - a dream to deal with in preparation for the event; he prepared particular pieces that I asked him too; and was happy to play requests from my guests. I would definitely book again! Thank you!! "

"Sarah was just fantastic at our wedding and we couldn't have asked for any more. She played a selection of covers for our guests as they waited for us initially. We also gave her a selection of songs that meant a lot to us and she put together a medley for us to walk down the aisle to. We really couldn't have ask for more and would recommend her to anyone looking for a special extra for their wedding or event. "

"Hi Mark, We wanted to say thank you so much for the outstanding music you brought to Alana's wedding on 8th December. Both the music at the church and later at the reception was exceptional. Your interpretation of the Theme from the Secret Garden was beautiful: a tune that Alana had always dreamed of walking down the aisle to since a child. You rocked the church with 'Happy' whilst the register was being signed, even the vicar was moving to the beat! You're ability to play all genres from Cathedral Organ to Pop, Bollywood to Jazz was amazing. We have been asked by so many guests who you were. Of course we gave them your contact details. We hope to see you again for further celebrations in the near future. Once again, thank you Mark, you are the best. With best wishes. "

Gill, thank you for such a fantastic review! It really was a pleasure to play for you all, it was a wonderful Christmas Wedding. Also, many thanks to Neil who helped me move the keyboard so quickly out of the church to the Drinks Reception. The Ceremony was very special and I was pleased to be able to perform all the different styles of music that you asked for, especially Alana's entrance music, the Theme from the Secret Garden on piano. I wish you and the family all the best for the future, please keep in touch. Mark

"Simon was just wonderful at a 70th birthday I held on 16th April 2016. He was smiley/charismatic, professional and of course an impeccable pianist. I will be using him for all my future functions. "

"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!"

"Tom is an artist of great character and depth. He has accompanied the chamber choir on many occasions and has also recently played and was the rehearsal pianist for the schools musical production. He is versatile and a pleasure to work with. I have every confidence in his abilities and plan on working with him for future projects. "
