"Robert was excellent, it was a pleasure to work with him. The playing complimented the evening perfectly and I received a number of compliments about the background music. He was very easy to work with and I would fully recommend his services to others who are planning events etc. Many thanks. "

"We booked Anthony to accompany 8 singers from the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge who were coming to sing at my father's Memorial Service. Their own Organ Scholar was unable to attend and we needed to find a competent organist quickly. Anthony's credentials fitted the bill perfectly and he was extremely efficient with all communications and also gave us a lot of help with choices of music and the preparation of the Order of Service. He made a huge effort to be there in time to practice with the choir on the day as well as travelling for many hours. I think he even hired a car at one point when a train was cancelled so as not to let us down. Anthony played wonderfully throughout the whole service and the choir were very happy with his accompaniment - not missing their own Organ Scholar at all! When I spoke to the Church Warden after the service he particularly asked me where our organist had come from - he said he had never heard the organ played so well and apparently they have had some very eminent organists there. He said it had never sounded better and that Anthony had truly made it 'sing'. In summing up I simply couldn't recommend Anthony more - I think you would be hard pressed to find an organist for your event who is more competent or reliable and if we ever need an organist in the future he would be my very first port of call.

"We hired Shean to play the organ for our wedding ceremony and he was just wonderful, both on the day and when deciding which music to have. Shean suggested some lovely pieces and played everything, including our hymn choices perfectly. We would really recommend him and thank you again Shean! Kind regards, Beth"

"Mark went above and beyond by learning new songs to make the day more magical. He followed all of our requests. He promptly responded to all emails/ messages and was very pleasant to speak to. He was professional and very talented on the day. I couldn't of asked for anything more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him! An absolute pleasure to have him play on our wedding day. "

"Mark really helped to make our wedding super special and set the tone with his excellent and engaging music. He was a pleasure throughout, making things easy for us and obviously put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes - his music from the church and the reception was one of the main talking points of the day - people are still talking about his atmospheric rendition of the Game of Thrones theme in the church! We couldn't recommend Mark enough - he obviously loves what he does - and that comes through in all his performances and created a wonderful atmosphere right from the start of our special day."

Thank you Will and Sarah for your great review! I'm really pleased that everyone present enjoyed the music in church, and after at the wedding breakfast in the barn. I particularly enjoyed using the little Victorian organ alongside my keyboard in the church, it gave me the sound variations that I needed to play all of your requested music authentically - yes, Game of Thrones was a blast, and then exiting to Dire Straits 'The Walk of Life' worked brilliantly! It was lovely to meet you finally after nearly a years planning, thank you again for choosing me, keep in touch. Mark (May 2016)

"I can't recommend Mark enough. From the first time we spoke he has been a consummate professional. Mark's organ and piano playing are second to none and made our wedding day at Hengrave Hall even more special. We originally booked Mark for the Church Service, however after talking to him on the phone and hearing his passion and flare we booked him to play the piano during our wedding breakfast too. Mark is flexible, accommodating and has ideas that spark your imagination! We even had Metallica's Nothing Else Matters on the piano at one point - amazing! Thank you ever so much Mark! We will be using you again."

Thank you Mr and Mrs Titmarsh, it was an honour to play for your wedding! I'm so pleased that you all had a great day, I really enjoyed playing for you and helping to enhance the grand setting of Hengrave Hall. It was lovely working with you both, discussing and choosing the music in the run up - your mum was also a great help in organising the music. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

"Hi Des, Des, thank you so much for playing some great music at our wedding service yesterday. We loved hearing the different variety of songs in particular our favourites...Elbow and Elvis Presley! It made it so different to any other wedding we have been to."

"From start to finish, Mark was absolutely incredible. We hired Mark to play at our wedding, alongside a choir that he had never performed with before, and his performance was amazing. He kept in touch with us throughout and helped us to work out what would work best for our ceremony. The result was fantastic and we had so many compliments about the music during our ceremony. We cannot recommend him enough, thank you Mark! Xx"

"Garreth - thank you for your divine organ playing for our service last Sunday. Your leadership of the hymn singing was truly inspiring and the whole congregation was in awe of your extemporisation and voluntaries. Please come again and I cannot recommend Garreth's musicianship highly enough. Thank you again. Dorina"

"I booked Mark to play a Garden Party that I was hosting at our Garden Centre. Everybody loved his performance and I would hire him again for any future events. Very professional, arrived extra early to set up and also stayed for bit extra too as the crowd wanted more!! He even went around a spoke to some of the guests after he had finished. Brilliant day all round!!"
