"We hired Mark J to perform a private piano concert for us, and it was truly one of the most breathtaking experiences of our lives. To be seated just feet away and to witness his playing firsthand was nothing short of magical. He performed a beautiful mixture of our favourites and his own, creating an intimate and deeply personal atmosphere. Before the performance had even ended, we already knew we’d have to make it happen again. A definite five stars—an unforgettable, moving musical experience."

"Absolutely fantastic! If you’re going to do anything for your wedding then this should be it! It was the best decision we made and it had such an amazing impact on the day. Walking down the isle is such a special moment and Nigel just topped it off, he made sure the right part of the song was played at the right time and it was just beautiful! Nigel played for our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast, I loved that he was there for all three of these moments because it just continued to create an amazing atmosphere! He also took requests from our guests, which they loved! Nigel played so many amazing songs that we all loved and we can’t thank him enough for making our day even more special! He even took short videos of moments throughout the day which he shared with us, moments that we would never be able to capture ourselves so we appreciated this so much!! 1000% recommend! "

"We could not recommend Andrew enough. He was absolutely fantastic and there were so many wonderful comments about how beautifully he played for our wedding. His communication prior to our wedding was brilliant and he made the ceremony and drinks reception so relaxed. Again we could not recommend him enough. Thankyou so much! "

"We used Mark to play the organ at our wedding and he was truly spectacular. Not only did he play the organ but he also played the piano and used his piano to play our entrance music via MP3. He ensured that every single piece of music we loved was played and in the best way. There is nothing Mark is not happy to offer and he truly cares about doing the best for your big day. We were so lucky to have found him to help make our day special. If you need someone for your day, you need to use Mark. He makes everything so easy and perfect for you. Get booking! "

Scarlet, thank you for your lovely remarks. I thoroughly enjoyed playing for your Christmas Wedding in Cambridge, the organ was lovely at the Leys School, enabling me to achieve a lovely cathedral sound during the carols making it even more festive! Thank you for choosing me for your big day. Mark (December 2015)

It was fantastic from start to finish, the tracks during the ceremony were perfect, as was the playing in wedding breakfast. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed your playing and also loved singing along!"

"Both my husband and I would like to thank Laura for her incredible performance at our wedding. Laura stepped in with ten days to go and nothing really was too much for her. She took on our set list and literally just as happy to play our important songs which meant the world to us. Laura was nothing but professional but on top of that she really made so much effort to make sure everything was right for us even with the very short notice. Our guests could do nothing but tell us how amazing Laura so I would just like to say if you are looking for an incredible pianist for a wedding or any event then please look no further, Laura is amazing."

"Pianist, organist, accompanist Gareth Giles superbly demonstrated his great gift of musicianship at our service of blessing for our wedding this summer. His versatility shone from the start with his playing a piano medley which included songs from the 40`s, Hollywood musicals, to diverse jazz arrangements. This was followed by hymns on the organ one of which, newly composed, he had never even heard before! Also a newly composed flute obligato sprung on him at the last minute! He then switched effortlessly back to the piano to play "Reverie" by Dubussy. Later playing "Liebestraume" by Liszt with such tremendous feeling. Gareth`s playing is infused with an infectious joy and flourish which is a real pleasure to experience. Brilliant!"

"Don't look anywhere else for your live music! Initially we had planned our ceremony music to be a Spotify playlist played through the venue's facilities. We are so thankful to have found Piano Matt! We saw him at a wedding fayre at our venue (Arley House) and remembered him playing Robert Miles - Children. Having come in under budget and seeing a post Matt was tagged in at Arley House, we did some more research. We were pleased to see that Matt was very reasonably priced and contacted him, interested in him performing at our ceremony. My husband and I are big music lovers and there was a loose music theming to our wedding. We wanted something unique and gave Matt what some may call a bizarre brief for a Pianist...britpop, 80s, 90s dance. We also had a request for Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train as guests were being seated due to a loose family tie and it being the Aston Villa entrance song. Who'd have thought this was possible on a piano but Matt smashed it! I'd always wanted Pachelbel's Canon to walk down the aisle to but also loved I'll Be There For You by The Rembrandts. Matt suggested a mash up of the two and boy did he deliver. I'm a bit gutted I missed the guest seating background music ? I love Harry Potter, hubby loves Star Wars and again, Matt's pianist mash up skills stuck again! Utter perfection! Matt was polite, professional and so down to earth from the moment we first started communicating. The video call as part of the planning process was a great way to 'meet' Matt and discuss 'us' and what we were after to make our ceremony truly unique. Matt, it was a pleasure having you perform during our ceremony, thank you for making it so special for us. Nothing was too much to ask of Matt who even helped with the errand of chasing down my maid of honour for my bouquet for our professional photos. Would definitely recommend Matt to anybody considering live music during their wedding day. We loved you as did our guests! ❤️ Aisle walk - Pachelbel Canon / I'll Be There For You Register signing - Star Wars / Harry Potter Exit music - You've Got The Love- Candi Staton"
