10/10 Weding Pianist

We got married in October 2025 & had the best day, in no small part down to the Yorkshire Wedding Pianist. He played before, during and after the ceremony (including the aisle walk) & then he played alongside a saxophonist during the drinks reception. He was absolutely awesome & I highly recommend him to anybody!

Something a bit special

Martin was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. I had always wanted a pianist to play at my wedding and Martin created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. His communication with us from the moment we booked him was excellent and we really appreciated that he played so many of the songs on the (very long!) list that we sent to him in advance. I would highly recommend Martin to anyone wanting something truly special and personal to you.

Can’t thank Martin enough

Martin was amazing from booking to his sets on the day.
I asked Martin if he could work with me to create a personalised voiceover set to music for the prelude to our ceremony. He worked with me back and forth to create it exactly as I imagined and everyone complimented it on the day (and cried their eyes out)!
He catered to requests in the drinks reception and gave the most calming atmosphere to our day
Super responsive to emails and will recommend him to anyone I know getting married in future!

Wonderful addition to our wedding day

Martin was absolutely wonderful. A few weeks before the wedding we had a call where he asked what we wanted including favourite songs & any special requests. This was easy to do as he had a list on his website as inspiration, but you could add 1-2 of your own as well. On the day it was simply stunning! The guests loved having him there. Thank you, Joe & Nicole

Amazing Pianist

We booked Yorkshire Wedding Pianist – Martin Hamer for our drinks reception, and he was absolutely fantastic. He played all the songs we requested, along with others that perfectly matched the style of music we love. The atmosphere he created was wonderful, and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. Martin is a talented pianist and was a great addition to our big day we highly recommended!

Made our ceremony so beautiful and our cocktail reception classy!

We had Martin at our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception - when we were wedding planning we hadn’t considered hiring a pianist, but after meeting Martin at a wedding fair, there was no way we could not. He completely transformed the ceremony and was very accommodating and supportive of our song choices, and he added a touch of class to the cocktail reception. From first meeting Martin, he has been quick to respond to any questions and a great communicator which really helps during wedding planning. Martin, thanks so much for making our wedding so beautiful, you were one of the best wedding decisions we made.

Streamline and elegant.

Martin played our drinks reception June 2025, booking process easy, plenty of choice on the repertoire, took additional requests on the day and played the classic dance anthems we really wanted! Cant wait to find an excuse to book him again. Much appreciated. Pictures and videos to follow

Fantastic wedding pianist

I cannot recommend Martin highly enough. I love piano music and we were delighted to have Martin play at our wedding ceremony and at the drinks reception after. He played beautifully and many guests commented on how lovely it was to hear.
This was an important element of our wedding ceremony and Martin far from disappointed!! He was a fabulous addition. Each piece of music I asked for was executed perfectly.

Fabulous experience

I am thrilled to share our experience with Martin, the pianist at our daughter’s wedding. From the moment we reached out to him, it was clear that Martin was dedicated to making the day special. He took the time to understand our family's diverse musical tastes and went above and beyond to curate a playlist that perfectly reflected our vision.

His talent on the piano is truly exceptional; every piece he played resonated with elegance and emotion, setting the perfect tone for a joyous celebration. Guests of all ages were captivated by his music, and many commented on how it added a magical atmosphere to the entire event.

Martin's professionalism and warmth made him a pleasure to work with. He was not only accommodating but also genuinely invested in ensuring that everything went smoothly. We are incredibly grateful for his contributions to our daughter's special day. Thanks to Martin, the wedding was a beautiful, unforgettable experience filled with love and joy. Highly recommend him for any occasion!

Absolutely fantastic

We had Martin play for our wedding for the ceremony, drinks reception and throughout our wedding breakfast. He was absolutely fantastic, even learnt 2 songs that we wanted for our ceremony and played those in addition to his excellent repertoire. We had so many compliments from our guests, and he was such a great addition to our day!
