"We engaged Mark to play for us during our annual conference dinner in the stunning Victorian Gallery of Leicester's New Walk Museum. It was wonderful to hear the gentle sounds of the piano on our arrival as we made our way to the gallery. Mark then continued to play for us whilst having our early evening drinks and then during the meal itself. He thoughtfully kept the lid in place on the museum's grand piano so he did not drown out our conversation, but instead provided a delightful backdrop to it. Mark offered to play requests for us but we did not take him up on this; instead we trusted him to find the right pieces for the evening. He played a wide range of material, including classical favourites, famous film scores, and the latest hits. He set just the right tone for the evening, with the piano offering a delightful accompaniment to our dinner. In such a beautiful setting, we all thought Mark's playing had really made our evening. We really did appreciate it, thank you so much! "

"Dear Mark, Thank You so much for playing for the wedding couple on 22nd of July 2017. The piano came to life in your hands and it was almost as if the people in the paintings were going to step out and dance. The atmosphere you created was Magical. We Definitely Highly Recommend your services, and you were in contact with all the Guests and made them feel part of the whole day. We will Definitely be calling you in future. Best Wishes, Susan Gibson."

Thank you for a lovely day on Saturday Sue. You and your team were very welcoming and made my job so much easier - and the Steinway piano, what can I say, fantastic! Such a brilliant location to get married in, I can thoroughly recommend New Walk Museum and Art Gallery in Leicester. I'm very much looking forward to working with you again in the future.

"Once again I am almost at a loss to describe what a brilliant musician and performer Gareth is. His concert for us in Surbiton last night was highly entertaining, varied and interesting, and performed with consummate skill. From serious works on the organ via piano duets (accompanying himself on the keyboard!) to a range of wonderful jazz pieces, Gareth showed his versatility and virtuosity throughout. Not only that, but he provided witty and informative introductions which the audience also very much enjoyed. I may have said so before, but don't hesitate to book Gareth - you won't be disappointed!"

"Craig played at our wedding ceremony last week and was a wonderful and integral addition to our day; the style was perfect for the occasion and made the ceremony magical for us and all our guests. The set up was great, as Craig was able to be discreet with equipment but the sound filled the room we were in. Having Craig play guests into the room, the entrance and exit songs and then playing guests out was wonderful, he went above and beyond to personalise the music to suit us and our guests and learnt songs specifically for us. The whole event was wonderfully performed without a note missed and it truly wouldn't have been as emotional and special without Craig there. We will be delighted to recommend Craig to all our friends and family to play at any event or social gathering! October 2018"

"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"

"We had a great experience with Sebastian. From our first consultation, it was clear that he has a lot of experience and really cares about creating a memorable experience for couples on their wedding day. He was flexible and supportive, offering advice tailored to our vision. He even organised a fantastic trumpeter, which added an extra layer of pizzaz to the ceremony and made our entrance really unforgettable! I also appreciated the offer of booking the choir as well - we ended up having our family members sing for us, but Sebastian did say that he could organise singers on short notice, which would have been amazing had we not had that option. It was a no-fuss experience throughout - he took care of everything and all we had to do was turn up. Sebastian was actually recommended to us by the venue, and I can really see why. I can wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a church ceremony."

"James accompanied our choir in a challenging French programme which included Durufle Gloria (Messe Cum Jubilo) and Poulenc Gloria. The organ was also a challenge, being a Victorian mechanical action with rear view mirror. James was unflappable in his approach. He was very easy to work with and put in an excellent performance which enhanced the singers with colourful registration and rhythmic energy. Thoroughly recommended. "

"Mark was just fantastic, at late notice he re arranged his diary to accommodate our daughter's christening, he arrived early sight read some new music for the choir and ensured the day went perfectly. His playing was beautiful with a very varied range even managing to bring in something that the very young children knew. I have not hesitate in recommending Mark and will be using him again myself.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mark at Britta and Matt's wedding at Balliol College Chapel, Oxford last Saturday. He played the organ beautifully before and during their wedding ceremony, and was highly professional organising the timings with me and ensuring the entrance and exit of the bridal party went smoothly. The couple, as well as many of their guests, mentioned how fabulous Mark's playing was."

"David was absolutely fantastic as organist for our wedding ceremony and also pianist at our reception. The first thing everybody said to us was how beautiful the music was, it really made the day! David and his wife were both so lovely, from keeping in touch beforehand to sort everything out through to the wedding day, nothing was too much trouble - thank you so much ?"

"Des played a wonderful selection of music for my parent's diamond wedding anniversary. Aside from being a talented pianist, he was able to provide just the right tone for the mixture of ages among the guests. He is both professional (all set-up well in advance of the party start time) and a pleasure to work with. He helped make the evening memorable for everyone. I highly recommend him."

"Mark is, quite simply, exceptional. When we were looking for an organist for our wedding, he was the the most responsive, enthusiastic and engaging of anyone that we contacted. He took great care to ensure that we had the pieces of music that we wanted and he surprised us with his range of musical genres. On the day of the wedding, Mark turned up early and spent a lot of time familiarising himself with the church organ. He also brought his own equipment as a back-up which we thought was a good idea. His performance during the wedding ceremony was faultless and had the whole congregation singing along! We could not have been happier with our choice of Mark as our organist. He is great!"

Thank you Brian and Nicki for such a lovely review, I'm so pleased that the music was so well received by everyone present. We really did have a variety of music didn't we, Vivaldi to Genesis! You were both a pleasure to work with, and I wish you luck with everything that you do in the future. Mark (June 2016)

"Gareth - thank you for making our wedding perfect with your world class organ playing. This guy has to be met and heard to be believed - anything is possible and he takes so much time to talk through the options and advise. In the end we could not choose our pre music service item so we had the lot!!!!! a mini organ recital just for our guests to get out of the rain. The hymns were lively, energetic and executed with utter dynamism, joy and empathy. Everyone sung ! Gareth switched to piano for our register signing music and showed again that he is an utter genius on piano as well as organ - making the ancient church piano sing and sound like a concert grand. Widor Toccata blew the roof off. This man stands out a mile in this site and it is a mystery why he is not an international concert performer. Make no mistakes Have no doubts Book this man for any event for organ or piano !! He is truly amazing and a wonderful, warm person as well. Thank you G and stay in touch J"

"Gareth Giles is the best organist and pianist I could ever have hoped to book for my daughter's wedding at The Church of St Michael in Aynho, Northamptonshire. He is an incredibly talented player and really brought the church organ to life. He went to great lengths to adapt the music to the instruments available and his playing was breathtaking throughout. He kept in touch regularly to offer advice and helpful suggestions and sent the funniest emails I've ever received! Gareth is a thoroughly nice man with a great sense of humour, an infectious enthusiasm and a clear passion for music."
