Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"We first heard Nigel play when we visited Huntsmill Farm on an open evening and we just thought ‘wow’! We just loved how he played and knew we needed him for our ceremony. From start to finish I cannot fault him, he would always email back so efficiently with advice, calming words and also help with song choices. He went above and beyond to make our ceremony as special as we dreamt. Thank you Nigel, you are the best!"

"We booked Laura for our special day and she was absolutely wonderful. Laura was very punctual, very professional with a friendly touch. We made a request for Laura to play a specific song and she rehearsed and learnt it within a day or two and sent us an example. Our guests loved her playing the piano and it gave that special touch we wanted to the day. We would definitely recommend Laura she was an absolute pleasure to have at the wedding. Thank you!!!!! ??"

"Andrew played beautifully at our wedding and created just the right environment. We had quite an unusual ask in that we wanted all 80s pop songs and we walked down the aisle to an 80s TV theme. None of this phased him. He took the time to learn what was needed and gave us exactly what we needed on the day. We couldn't have asked for more. Many thanks again for your input into our special day. Very happy to recommend."

"Nigel played the antique grand piano at Shuttleworth House for our drinks reception. We are so glad we booked Nigel, he is very talented and played a wide range of songs. We received great feedback from our guests. We highlighted before the event a few songs that we definitely want played, it was so special hearing them on the day. Especially the Jurassic Park theme tune which we loved!"

"Nigel played during the ceremony, drinks and breakfast at our Blake Hall wedding and we couldn’t have asked for more! From the outset his communication was excellent and even learnt a new song for our ceremony. We were absolutely delighted with his performance on the day and had so many wonderful comments from our guests. He set a really relaxed & happy atmosphere and was such a special part of our day. We couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much Nigel! "

"If you need a violinist or pianist who plays everything from Coldplay to Bach then this is your man! Hugely talented but also very easy to work with. Richard already has a huge repertoire (some of which is listed on his website) but if he doesn’t know it, is super flexible and will learn any requests. It was really easy to book Richard (we dealt with Richard over email/WhatsApp) and he was quick to respond to queries. Feedback from guests was superb - I will never forget standing in the sunshine listening to Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’! A huge thank you and couldn’t recommend Richard more."

"Gareth accompanied my daughter for her Grade 6 Cello exam. He supported and encouraged her and made the whole experience a thoroughly enjoyable one (and she passed!!) I would thoroughly recomend him."

"I booked Tamriko to play at our wedding in Somerset and she came on recommendation from a musician friend. From the start Tamriko was so organised to ensure she had all the details of the venue and knew what we wanted to have played. I work in theatre so wanted classics by the likes of Berstein, Lerner and Loewe, Gershwin etc. Tamriko played so beautifully. She captured the essence of our big day and we had so many wonderful comments afterwards. I cannot recommend Tamriko enough. Stunning playing, easy to work with and a wonderful artist."

"We booked Sarah for our wedding reception, she was very responsive had a great repertoire of songs and did play some requests from us including our first dance. She arrived promptly set up and played well throughout the evening. All our guests commented on how well she played and sang almost wishing they were sat listening to her rather than eating and socialising. We could not have asked for a better pianist for the night.

"Amy played at our wedding and she was absolutely perfect, playing the bride's favourite song down the aisle bringing many to tears. Playing amazing music during the breaks in the ceremony and then playing more beautiful piano to keep everyone entertained while we went for photos. If anyone was to have Amy play at their wedding they would be lucky."

"Gareth is a superb accompanist. His playing and sense of rhythm and ensemble is amazing. I thoroughly recommend him to any soloist, group or choir needing a fantastic, approachable musician."

"With a month or so to go before our wedding (July 2015) we found ourselves without an organist. Not knowing quite what to do next, we turned to Google and found Lastminutemusicians.com. Choosing an organist from the site was such a daunting prospect given how important the organist's role was to be and not knowing if the person we would end up choosing would be any good! After a number of replies from other performers we chose Mark and we couldn't have been in better hands. Mark is a true professional and a talented performer. He is eager to please, vastly experienced and could adapt most songs/pieces of music for the organ. A week or so before our wedding, and in his own time, he visited our chapel and familiarised himself with the organ he would be playing. We also spoke frequently on the phone to discuss our thoughts regarding what we wanted to be performed and he also provided helpful suggestions and ideas without 'taking over'. On the day itself he was prompt, well presented and played beautifully. Thank you again Mark for your contribution to our special day, I really can't recommend you enough...in fact two of the guests at our wedding used Mark as the organist at their wedding having been impressed, I'm sure, at what they heard!"

Reply by Mark Burton - Wedding Organist / Pianist
Mark and Di - the pleasure was all mine! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the Binns Organ in Queens College, Cambridge - it was a treat for me too as an organist. I'm pleased that you were happy with my performance on such a hot day, the organ took time to set up for the wedding, but it was worth it. And, I got to do it all again in August for your friends wedding in the same chapel!
