"Nigel is very professional and he can pretty much play anything you ask for, highly recommend for any advent as he made our wedding (At Holiday Inn MK East) that little more special."

"Chris was brilliant. Even before the wedding he was great at communicating, and went above and beyond to learn the songs we wanted. On the day he played both bagpipes and piano beautifully and we received so many compliments. I would highly recommend Chris for your big day or any other event. "

"It was just wonderful to have Kirsten perform a programme of Handel arias and duets as part of our celebration of the 300th anniversary of The Water Music on the Thames. Her voice was stunning and she even accompanied herself with the mandolin on a couple of songs as well as performing with the orchestra. Truly memorable and we are planning to work together again in association with Handel's House in London."

"Nigel is an incredible pianist who helped make our wedding day even more special. He performed for our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Nigel has a huge repertoire, covering varying genres; there is something for everyone! Nigel is incredibly professional and responds to emails promptly. He goes above and beyond to ensure your day is wonderful and personal. For example, he learnt a new song for us and also amalgamated two songs for our bridal party procession. I cannot recommend Nigel enough; thank you so much for making our day so wonderful!"

"Tend to populate many local gigs and music night subsequently follow Chris avidly, purely because when he plays and sings he commands attention from even the hardened non-music orientated drinkers! Great voice and a wonderful acoustic guitarist, his covers are always brilliant, and his own compositions extremely well written and performed. Has a great range of music and caters for all tastes in music. If Chris is playing I will always make the effort to be there."

"For any one considering booking Nigel for their wedding (or any event really), don’t think, just do it! Nigel has been an absolute pleasure to work with, so quick to reply on emails and so eager to please. There were a couple of songs we asked him to learn for us and boy did he nail it! It made the day so personal and the only downside is that we didn’t get enough time to enjoy the music ourselves. He also set up multiple locations within our venue to be able to play in different areas to fit in with our schedule and it was great to be able to have him play outside in the glorious weather we had at the weekend. We cannot thank Nigel enough and we’re so glad he was a part of our special day."

"James and I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for coming all the way down to Creeksea Place to play for us at our wedding. You played beautifully and so many guests commented on what a lovely idea it was and how moved they were hearing you play. I remember first hearing you play as I made my way round the outside of the walled garden with my Dad. I said to my Dad, ‘I think I am going to cry’ as I got so caught up in the emotion of it all. I managed to hold it together as we walked down the aisle! The day went so quickly for James and I. There were so many things to see and so many people to chat too, in such a short space of time. We cannot wait to see the video to live it all again and catch up on anything we missed."

"I was searching for a pianist to accompany my singing at my wedding and we also wanted a medley of house music played according to songs we had chosen. I approached quite a few pianists with my request and received a positive response that it was do-able. However, only Bradley took the time to pick up the phone and talk me through my requirements. From the moment I spoke to him, I knew that he would do everything he could to put together exactly what we were looking for. We practiced a couple of times before the wedding and I had every confidence that Bradley was going to deliver what he promised. He turned up early to prepare for the gig at our wedding and as I’d surprised my guests who didn’t know I was singing, we were a hit! His house medley was so good that the guests didn’t realise that he was actually playing. The impressive thing is Bradley hadn’t ever played House music before, but he embraced the challenge and was nothing short of fantastic. We loved having Bradley at our wedding and will definitely be using him again for our next big bash. If you have a desire to achieve something out of the ordinary, Bradley can make that dream come true. He did with me. On top of being a great pianist, Bradley is also warm, friendly and reliable. He loves what he does and does it so well. He’s a true professional and the guests at my wedding absolutely loved him. Thanks again Bradley, you made our day extra special and my wife was blown away. xx"

"Nigel performed throughout our whole wedding earlier this year, at Easton Grange in Suffolk. We are so glad we came across his work at a local wedding fair, he was so accommodating and offered to learn new songs to play for us as special requests, and even travelled all the way over to Suffolk for us. He played as I walked down the aisle (a beautiful rendition of Disney's 'Happily Ever After' as requested), played more Disney songs whilst we signed the register, and then continued to play throughout the drinks reception and wedding breakfast. All of our guests were amazed at how he could keep going for so long, and so professionally too, a lot of guests thought it was a recording playing and not live music as it was so perfect. Fantastic memories as Nigel's talent was captured in our wedding video for us to look back on many times. It was lovely to have Nigel provide the back ground music to our day, and we all enjoyed listening our for our favourite songs throughout. In fact, Nigel was TOO good, and whilst he was practising our special song to walk down the aisle to, I was mid-makeup application and started welling up (much to the make up artists dismay, haha). Wouldn't change a thing, and we hope to be able to enjoy his music again in the future. Thank you again so much Nigel. "

"The Masked Violin was amazing! His sweet melodies serenaded all our guests from arrival until our DJ/ live music arrived. Everyone loved his music, and have been speaking of it ever since. He was truly incredible. He was so kind, he even pre-learned the songs to play for our ceremony: one was a normal wedding song, the other a punk song, which he played so well it helped make our day perfect. Afterwards he played a variety of well executed music, all sorts of genres, along with his mask and mysterious demeanor our guests were all dazzled and mesmerized. Our guests were taking about how amazing he was for days afterwards (we had a multi-day wedding), we do regret not hiring him for more days as he was fantastic. He was an absolute pleasure and we highly recommend him to everyone, for any kind of event. Honestly we can not praise him enough. If you are thinking about music at your event, he brings a magic that others can't: definitely book with him 💯."

"5 star Google Review: Nigel was incredible from start to finish. From the moment we met him at an open day, he had such a positive and warming energy. Nigel had fantastic communication with us throughout the wedding planning process and kept us updated on his ever growing repertoire or songs that we could choose for the day. How he can play this many songs by memory is truly a testament to his talent! On the day he he was fantastic and I really do not think there are enough words to describe how great he is both as a Pianist and a person! He played all sorts of songs across genres and everybody complimented how much of a great addition he was to the day. He even learned extra songs that were important to us which was another special touch. If you are thinking about having a Pianist, book Nigel! Thank you do much for making our day so personal and special. - Stacey & Harley"

"Thank you just doesn't do this justice. We first spoke to Nigel at a wedding fair in MK pre COVID. We requested to hear a handful of songs and he was happy to play them there and then! We knew at that point he had to book him. Nigel was very flexible when needing to rearrange due to COVID and he communicated very effectively throughout this time. On our original date Nigel also posted on social media a preview of our wedding song which was a lovely gesture. On the day Nigel played perfectly and seamlessly moving between rooms without being noticed. He was also very considerate and wanted to check if he was playing too loudly or quietly to ensure everyone was comfortable when sitting for the wedding breakfast. Would highly recommend Nigel for any special day/event. Loved every song he played. "

"Sophie was amazing and we would recommend her for any wedding, Sophie was quick to get back to us to answer questions before the day which was really helpful. Sophie sung songs of our choice during the ceremony even though they weren't on her set list- she has the most amazing voice, so beautiful and perfect for during our ceremony! "
