Incredible!
Chris provided the perfect soundtrack to our day and made my vision for walking down the aisle a reality!
Nothing was too much for Chris. From providing recordings so myself and my bridesmaids could practice walking down the aisle ahead of time, to learning new songs just for us, to hauling his piano outside after the ceremony so our guests could enjoy his music alongside a glass of champagne on the patio.
Chris instantly understood our vibe and picked the perfect selection of songs to accompany our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. We truly could not recommend him more!

What a day!
The 10th of June 2023 will go down in my personal history of the best day of my life. I married my best friend. Man city won the champions league and I got to celebrate all this with my closest and dearest. Chris kicked my day off with the best and most professional music I have ever heard. A wedding party full of indie kids and true manunians. Chris tailored the music for us to this playing manc classics such as the courteeners and stone roses. My wife had a very specific song she wanted for the ile song with great personal and emotional meaning to it. Chris played this song through his PA system but also created his own piece of music to go along with it. It was just magical. Not a dry eye in sight. He stuck around and carried on banging out beautiful music whilst our photos were being done. Chris mate, unfortunately I only intend to get married the once but if there is any other events I want piano at you'll be the 1st and only person I'll speak too. Thank you so much for kicking the best day of my life off the way you did.

The best day ever!
We got married in February and we literally couldn't recommend Chris highly enough. I have personally known Chris for many years (and in many settings and musical experiences!) and it's been amazing to see play out, just how special he makes each and every experience. And they're all different in many ways which is testament to Chris and his ability to personalise every aspect of your day. As soon as we started planning our wedding, I absolutely knew 100% Chris was the man to deliver the big hair and rock n roll vibe that we wanted which would make this the best day ever. So, with the stage set and the air guitars and Bon Jovi wigs ordered, the final countdown was on. Chris took care of assembling some ol' touring friends to set up an acoustic guitar duo for our reception and then full band experience for the evening. Chris really reassured us right the way through the planning stages with timings, best fits, logistics and liaising with the venue which was a huge relief and something we didn't have to worry about once. The venue also loved the professionalism and just how easy they made everything with setting up, changes and packing away at the end of the night. The hardest thing was collating a host of songs to mix into the sets and Chris's DJ skills which he did, and there were some great surprises in there too. I don't think I actually left the dance floor!? It was phenomenal and something that we'll never forget. Honestly, any ideas that you have or want to explore to fit into a theme or location or just because you want to dance the night away, Chris is fantastic.

Perfect cocktail hour music!
Chris provided the perfect soundtrack to our cocktail hour as well as the ceremony. The ceremony venue was tight on numbers so he recorded songs to be played at very short notice! Truly a perfect addition to any wedding, he played every song I asked for with skill and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Just perfect!
Chris was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, he created the most perfect atmosphere throughout our drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Best mix of songs, requests taken and the most beautifully piano playing I have ever heard. Made our day so special and Chris' piano playing is something every guest commented on. We even ended our meal with a little sing song. I couldn't recommend Chris anymore, perfect addition to our day x

Amazing talented pianist
We can’t thank Chris enough for everything he did for us in our special day. He was responsive and flexible from the start, he offered suggestions but whilst always putting what we want first. We loved the idea of live piano but for the songs walking up and down the aisle, the lyrics were really important to us too. Chris never questioned this request and went out of his way to supply the songs through his system, and he played beautifully alongside them. We’ve had so many of our guests saying how lovely it was to have a bit of life and something special during and after the ceremony. We can’t recommend Chris enough!! Thank you!

Exceeded our expectations. Just wow!
Chris was AMAZING! He played our whole wedding day! From start to finish people complimented him & told us he was amazing. He played our ceremony, kept our guests entertained whilst we had photos done during drinks reception and then played in the band for the evening. After the band had finished the sets, Chris set up the DJ set to keep the party going! Honestly, so glad we booked him! So talented & made our special day even more special! Thank you so much Chris

Absolutely made our wedding day!!!
Chris played piano at our wedding and it was the perfect touch to our occasion. He was very professional and was happy to cater to the specific request of songs we had - he can literally play anything!
He entertained our guests throughout the whole night, even putting some dancefloor songs on in-between sets (saving on a DJ). We had so many positive comments about Chris and the music from our guests that night. If you're looking for a professional pianist for your occasion Chris is your guy... you will not be disappointed!
Thanks again Chris!

Absolutely Amazing
Chris played for our wedding reception and gave a sensational set, including songs we had asked for. Nothing was too much to ask and the music was everything we wanted and more. Perfect for our wedding. We had plenty of positive feedback and compliments from our guests on the day and afterwards. People who came to the reception still speak about the music now! Thank you so much for everything Chris !
