"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! "

"Mark was a fantastic addition to our wedding reception at Westminster College, Cambridge. He is very friendly and helpful and attentive to requests. But most importantly he is a very fine pianist. We were lucky that Westminster College has a Steinway (apparently one of the best he's played) and he truly made it sing. Mark played a very well curated set, mixing classical music and more contemporary songs (The theme to The Godfather received a number of appreciative nods from guests). Beautiful playing, but never intrusive, it was the perfect accompaniment to our wedding breakfast. He even received his own round of applause from the guests when he finished! We cannot recommend him highly enough."

"Jess was an absolute pleasure to work with from our initial contact through to agreeing the event timetable / playlist & on to her performance at the afternoon of our wedding. This talented lady (Jess also plays keyboard professionally however we opted on the day for Saxophone only) played a variety of music which contributed immensely to a fabulous atmosphere (with much of it being outside as we were so lucky with the weather) & especially ramping up to a dance/ party vibe towards the latter end of the performance. Indeed many guests commented on how good Jess was & how much they had enjoyed her playing which speaks for itself. We would definitely not hesitate to recommend Jess for any event as she has the versatility / music repertoire for all occassions - Many Thanx"

I don't think I have ever before been on my feet from start to finish and even then, thought the end was only the interval! Everybody truly enjoyed the music and dancing which helped to cap a great night. - Mr J. Roddy, Surrey - (Wedding anniversary)"

"Finn was absolutely amazing! His communication was incredible and he made us feel at ease. He was very reassuring after we had a not such good experience with someone else. He played during our ceremony and it sounded so beautiful. Just what we wanted. He played all the songs we requested from a variety of genres. 100% recommended anyone to book Finn for their special occasion!!"

"Sarah, Firstly it was such a pleasure to have you play at our wedding, from the first email to the last song you were a dream to work with, you played everything I asked, the songs for the ceremony were perfect and exactly how I imagined it would be, actually it was better!! Hearing the first note to my entrance song gave me such a wash of emotion and made my nerves settle and excitement kick in, I'm gutted I couldn't just sit and listen for the whole time you played, you set the mood and entertained our guests just how I'd hoped, we had so many comments on how beautifully u sang and played!! Thank you so much for adding to our special day so perfectly! I can't recommend you enough!! Best wishes and love for the future Mr and Mrs Short Xx "

"Tom Kelsey was the pianist for our wedding breakfast and we cannot recommend him enough. His piano playing was beautiful and really created the ambience we were hoping for. Really made our wedding day that bit more special!"

"My 70th birthday party was planned and able to be an out of doors buffet lunch party for the extended family. As a musician myself I didn't want to have recorded music but someone live to add atmosphere without being over-dominant. It occurred to me that an accordionist playing Parisian style café music would be the perfect thing to have, and so Jonny Kerry proved to be. He played two forty minute sets of exactly the right kind of music, and also took the trouble to learn a piece I had composed especially for the occasion. His friendly and approachable manner encouraged virtually every guest to engage him in conversation at some point. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him if you're looking for a reliable, top-flight accordion player. "

"What a star Dan was throughout the whole process. So flexible, helpful and extremely responsive. It my first experience of booking a musician like this and the whole process has been great, with communication from Encore along the way too. Couldn’t fault any aspect of both the process and the service! Will definitely be back ?? ? ? "

" Finn is our go-to man for piano playing here at Birdsall House. His repertoire is extensive, and he plays beautifully. What makes him truly special though is how lovely he is to deal with, and we always look forward to when he comes to perform here at weddings. All the staff love him, and we can't wait until he is back again next year!"

"I would just like to put on record my appreciation for input into making a success of my 75th Birthday Celebration Party at the Nottingham Cosy Club. From our initial discussion and follow up sessions by e-mail you were able to assist me in the choices of music and styles that you could offer. I was particularly impressed with the video of proposed tunes that you sent over to me. In relation to the event itself you arrived early, set up and were ready to perform well in advance of the first guests coming into the venue. During the course of the evening you played our agreed choices and the guests were delighted as it added greatly to the ambience of the occasion. In relation to booking your system is simple and your terms and conditions were not complicated. Finally let me say I would be happy to use you again and recommend you to others requiring your services."

"Mark, thank you for playing the piano so brilliantly at our Wedding Party last Thursday evening. Your music set the perfect atmosphere at the Belvedere, thank you for learning our requests quickly which were played with ease, and you even accompanied our guest West End singer without a run through and no sheet music! Many of our guests commented on your flawless performance and variety of music, Elton John, David Bowie and even Bollywood themes, amazing! We couldn’t have wished for anyone better, and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wanting an expert Wedding musician."
