Best Wedding Pianist ever

Wow. Chris is a legend !! From the second I made an informal enquiry up until the day of the wedding he is nothing but professional and approachable. He is easy to talk to, responsive to all kinds of random questions and a super talented man! I had the most random request for songs to be played for the wedding party aisle entrance and Chris blended them seamlessly. His piano playing skills are next to none! He provided a gorgeous light background of music to our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. He played all the music i asked for and even took requests. I wish I could have been a guest to hear his playing more because as the bride I missed a lot of the awesomeness. I wish I could play my entrance music by Chris over and over again forever because it was simply beautiful. I would recommend over & over again. Book him he's fabulous !

Amazing!!!

Chris was the pianist at our wedding, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better. From the very start, communication was quick and easy—it genuinely felt like chatting with a friend. He was so approachable and personable, which made the whole process really enjoyable and stress-free.

Chris played during both our ceremony and drinks reception, creating such a lovely atmosphere throughout the day. He’s incredibly talented and even took the time to learn specific songs for us, including Rock DJ, Bam Bam, and Cheap Thrills, which meant so much and made everything feel really personal.

So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was—he truly added something special to our wedding. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a fantastic pianist!

Dom and Meg’s Wedding

Chris played the piano through mine and my wife Meg’s wedding ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. From the moment we reached out to Chris, we knew we were in excellent hands. He tailored the music to our tastes and answered all of our questions exceptionally. Chris’ musical talent really shone through on our special day. His playing made our whole day flow exceptionally well and added an extra dimension to the atmosphere amongst our guests. Our guests commented how great Chris was and how lovely it was to hear him play. Chris had an excellent rapport with our guests and made it a highly enjoyable experience for them. We would absolutely recommend Chris, and we’re forever grateful for his huge part in making our day so memorable. Thanks Chris

Perfect pianist for our magical day!

Chris was wonderful at our wedding day in Delamere Manor last October. He was so easy to chat to and on the day played such wonderful piano music that created such a magical atmosphere at our wedding. He has such a massive repertoire and is super talented and was able to play all of my requests and even learned additional request such as Chinese music and anime theme songs which we absolutely loved! If you’re looking for a wonderful talented musician for your wedding, then we cannot recommend Chris enough!

E&J February Wedding 2026- The Plough Inn

We had Chris play for our wedding ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast, and he was amazing throughout. In the lead up to the wedding communication was excellent, and we were able to make personalised requests for different parts of the day. Nothing was too much of an ask, and he took genuine interest in our vision.

Every song was played with such skill and clarity, that ours guests were able to recognise all the songs played and we even had our tables singing along! Chris set up and packed away swiftly, to make our wedding day go smoothly, and the music was perfect. We would highly recommend Chris' services, it's everything and more that you would want.

Made our special day perfect!

We knew chis was fab as he played at my brothers wedding just over two years ago. Chris gave our day that touch of magic we were looking for. He didn’t stop, from guests arriving to our first dance. Chris truly made it as special as it could be. He was able to play anything we asked in our intial chat and even went the extra mile when I asked during our wedding breakfast if he knew a song, he learnt it on the day ready for my father daughter dance literally scheduled for 2 hours later. Incredible talent, so greatful we had him at our special day.

Incredible

Chris is professional, friendly and extremely talented. It was a relatively last minute booking and we was so happy you was available to play at our wedding ceremony. You made everything so easy from the minute I messaged you. Anyone looking for a pianist I would highly recommend Chris you will not be disappointed. Many thanks again.

The best touch to our special day

Where do I start with Chris!? From the very first interaction he was helpful, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable and wanted to make it as personal to us as possible. No request was too obscure for Chris (we ranged from Jurassic park to DeadMau5) any song he didn’t already know he said he’d learn for us. We had Chris play our ceremony and wedding breakfast and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Everything ran seamlessly, it gave a class to the day which made it feel more special. Value for money was unbelievable, he is also the nicest man which really helps with communication before, during and after the big day. Long story short, hire Chris, you will not regret it!!

Highly recommend!

We were absolutely blown away by Chris’s performance at our wedding. From the very first note, the music created the perfect atmosphere — elegant, emotional, and beautifully tailored to our day.

What stood out most was not just his incredible talent at the piano, but also the care he put into understanding our vision. He seamlessly blended classical favorites with our personal requests, making every moment feel unique and unforgettable. Guests are still talking about how moving the ceremony music was and how much it added to the celebration.

On top of the artistry, Chris was an absolute professional to work with — responsive, flexible, and genuinely kind. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but he made this part so easy and joyful.

If you’re looking for a pianist who will not only perform beautifully but also elevate the entire atmosphere of your event, we couldn’t recommend Chris more highly. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!

Made our day!

Chris’s creativity made our day. He was so supportive during wedding planning, always checking in on us. Was happy to give his recommendations when we were stuck with what to choose. For walking down the aisle I wanted two different songs which Chris was happy to accommodate and sent me previews prior to the big day. 10/10 would recommend Chris and his talents! Thankyou so much Chris xxx

Wedding - 7th June

Chris played at our wedding on 7th June and he was amazing! He played everything we wanted, and was able to compliment our chosen songs perfectly ! What surprised us most was how he communicated with our other musicians without any involvement from my Husband and I! It took so much stress away from us and was a complete surprise

Thank you so much Chris! We loved having you be part of our day
