Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"I just wanted to thank you so much for your beautiful and natural playing at Frances’ and Simon’s wedding at The Old Hall on Saturday. To have your musical talent to help choose and then perform the pieces really made the day extra special. We have received lots of lovely comments, and believe me if you were not there, the mood would have been woefully flat and empty. The day was a complete success and we are so pleased that you were part of that to record every aspect of a perfect family celebration."

"Last weekend we held a birthday celebration for my 90 year old mother-in-law. We wanted live music to create a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Louise was the perfect choice. Her blend of popular classics, easy-listening and gentle jazz suited the occasion perfectly. She was open to requests from those present and infinitely flexible to fit our party schedule. I have no hesitation in recommending her. "

"We hired Grant playing his Grand Piano Shell in my garden, unfortunately the weather didn’t hold out but his Piano skills were outstanding. He played everything we asked, very entertaining. "

"My event was a private engagement proposal at a venue which required discretion to keep everything a top secret. I discussed at length with Nigel beforehand what my requirements were and he sent a huge list of songs he could play from memory which really helped me select a playlist to ensure the evening was fun yet intimate! We had discussions of some songs which were fundamental to the evening, such as the entrance/proposal song itself and Nigel was so accommodating to my needs, even when I changed and added songs over the coming weeks from his repertoire. There were some songs not listed which I wanted adding but luckily Nigel admitted he also knew how to play them. The evening itself ran beautifully, Nigel blended well with the surroundings (not easy to mix roses with a Ferrari F40) but he managed it. Songs were played brilliantly, and he even slipped in a couple of extra songs to suit the mood. I’d recommend asking him to play The Interstellar Theme by Hans Zimmer :) Thanks Nigel, we had a great evening, and fortunately Chloe said YES! "

"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. "

"We had Nigel play at our wedding blessing (At Gayhurst Manor). We really wanted to have a piano to accompany our friend who is a violinist during the church service. Nigel went above and beyond to meet regularly with the violinist prior to the day to practise and he was just amazing on the day. He then played during our sit down meal and was extremely well received by all our guests. We are so grateful for the efforts Nigel put in to make our wedding blessing so special and would definitely recommend Nigel to anybody who is looking for a fantastic pianist who will do everything he can to fit your needs."

"Thank you so much for being an important part of our wedding day. You’re beautiful Music created the perfect atmosphere – from the emotional moments to the joyful celebrations – and truly bought our ceremony to life. You have an incredible gift, and we feel so lucky to have had you share it with us on such a meaningful day. You’re playing at a special kind of magic that words can’t quite express, and it meant so much to us and our guests. We will always remember the way your music made us feel – calm, happy and completely in the moment. Thank you for helping us create memories that we carry in our hearts forever. With deepest appreciation, Emily and Daniel"

"We were put in touch with Lee through his agency and he immediately got in touch to establish what our event was, how many attending and the type of piano pieces we would like to hear. We were having a family party for 18 people at a rental house. It was my parents joint 90th birthday Lee arrived on time and played fantastically well for an hour and a half. I’m convinced he would have gone on longer but dinner was to be served. The variety of his catalogue was fantastic and he appealed to all the family. Initially he played a variety of pieces from his repertoire. Then requests starting coming in and he played virtually all of them by ear. What turned out to be one or two requests quickly turned in a request show and Lee’s ability to hear a song/ piece in his head play it was breathtaking. His improvisation was quite astonishing. If you are thinking of hiring a pianist for an event look no further. He was simply amazing. One really emotional performance and a good guy to boot!! "

"Wonderful musicianship, friendly, accommodating and willing. Robbie is a charming person. In the months preceding our wedding he spoke with us on the phone so we could all talk over what would be good and what would be possible. On the actual day his timekeeping was immaculate; his playing helped build just the atmosphere we wanted during our meal; he included a last minute request from a guest in his repertoire and his whole performance was brilliant."

"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! "

"Nigel played piano while guests arrived at our wedding and were seated for the ceremony. He also played during our drinks reception. Nigel played an indoor grand piano at the venue and, as the weather was stunning, he also had his outdoor mobile grand piano which was beautiful. This meant he could follow guests wherever they were congregated. Nigel and his playing were fantastic, as was his choice of music which was tailored both to us and to the audience. Particularly where our photos took slightly longer than expected, we've no doubt that Nigel kept a great atmosphere throughout. Thank you Nigel, you were brilliant!"

"Violet’s music playing is impressive. She is able to convey a wide range of emotions through the piano is truly remarkable in her performances. From delicate and introspective music that draw listeners into a contemplative space to bold and powerful crescendos that evoke a visceral response, each note feels purposeful and carefully crafted. Overall, I enjoy her live pop music playing."

"Ben Costello recently provided organ and piano accompaniment for the choir Auriga Capella, at a memorial concert in London. Due to the nature of the concert there was very little time for him or even some members of the choir to rehearse together before the concert, but thanks to Ben’s sensitive and expert accompaniment, no one would have known. He played with precision and flair. If the choir ever had the opportunity, we would certainly like to work with him again. "

"Christa played beautifully for our Coronation concert celebration and communicated with the audience with real warmth. She was professional throughout the preparation period with open and clear communication, and was also very flexible and open to requests. I would thoroughly recommend her for your musical event.
