James played piano for us throughout our wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast. (5/11/25).
He took the time to learn and entirely new song that we had asked for to walk down the isle to.
The music was beautiful, with a mixture of songs that all guests recognised and enjoyed, even including a little K-Pop Demon Hunters number for the children at our wedding!
James has a friendly and welcoming personality and everybody enjoyed him being there!
He made our day absolutely perfect!
Thank you James! 😊

James was brilliant! He played piano beautifully for our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast, creating the perfect atmosphere throughout the day. In the evening he switched effortlessly into DJ mode and kept the dance floor full all night. We’d also booked a sax and bongo player, and James was more than happy to DJ alongside them. He was professional, friendly and such a pleasure to have as part of our day. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Myself and my husband would recommend James Hey Piano without any hesitation! We asked him to play songs that weren’t on his play list and he learnt them especially. He added a touch of class to our ceremony and wedding breakfast. James played a variety of music at our wedding breakfast from Oasis to Beyonce to music from Game of Thrones! All of which went down really well with our guests. When we are catching up with friends over a month after they are still making comment about how good he was.
Thank you James for being part of our big day and for making it so special.
Love Mr & Mrs Peake
PS, sorry we didn’t get any pictures of you so I’ve added some of us so you don’t forget us! Xx

We were incredibly lucky to have James Hey Piano perform at our wedding, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very first email, James was professional, warm, and completely in tune (no pun intended!) with the kind of atmosphere we wanted to create.

They played during the ceremony and during reception drinks and their music truly elevated the entire experience. Their performance of our chosen processional song brought me to tears, it was heartfelt, beautifully paced, and flawlessly played. Throughout the event, the music was the perfect emotional backdrop without drawing focus from the moment.

Guests kept coming up to us all evening asking where we found such a talented musician. James also handled a few last-minute changes with total flexibility.

If you're looking for a pianist who brings both technical excellence and genuine emotion to their playing, look no further. Having him there made our day feel even more magical.

We booked James originally just for our ceremony. After meeting him at a wedding open day at our venue, we walked away booking him for additional services to be there on our day longer... and he did not disappoint! Such a nice guy and so easy to get on with. Played beautifully and caught the attention of all our guests and even took on a couple of requests to make our day even more special. Thank you so much James for being a part of our day!

James performed our ceremony music & wedding breakfast music last Saturday and from start to finish James was a pleasure to work with. He invited us to his home to go through music we liked and to see what best suited our wedding day vibe. He is so talented and can play so many different songs it’s unbelievable. Ultimately our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without him, he truly made it special. I would 100% recommend and we think he’s such a good value for money.

We booked James for piano and DJ and he was brilliant. Lovely guy to chat too and professional through the full process. Definitely recommend

Our experience with James was smooth and easy from initial enquiry to him playing for us on the day. He has a huge list of songs to choose from, but also took a request for the brides entrance music which he learnt for us at no extra charge which was very kind. He is a very skilled pianist and I would give him more than 5 stars if I could. Something about live music just hits deeper, so if you are considering for your ceremony or other parts of your day I highly recommend!!

We met James at a wedding fair at our chosen venue and instantly fell in love with his music! We asked him to play a song that he didn’t have on his list and did this instantly and he was booked! We had great contact with James, was available for any issues we needed answering, had a slight change to our timings but this was no issue.
Listening to the chatter of people while sat eating you could hear the piano through it and it was just beautiful, I commented to the top table how lovely it was to just sit and listen. James was very smart in appearance and played music I had asked for, such as show tunes, soundtracks from films/movies and of course Disney! We couldn’t have picked anyone better to play for our breakfast. Thank you so much!

James was brilliant for us,he played nice music at are wedding breakfast,whilst are guests turned up at the venue and whilst we were sat down to eat. Guest loved him and we would highly recommend James.

Recently had James at our wedding day, during our canapé & drinks reception.

James played really upbeat/ modern songs which everyone loved! He really kept everyones mood high!

Would highly recommend.

James was absolutely incredible and I cannot reccomend him enough. Communication was great up until the big day, and he was more than happy to help incorporate some Indian music into our reception for my guests, nothing was too much trouble for him. He played the piano beautifully for my ceremony and wedding breakfast, and DJ'd for my reception. I had guests approach me throughout the day telling me how much they loved the music!

James was recommended by our venue and he did not disappoint. James played all our songs we asked for. James was a pleasure to deal with, always replied quickly amd was such a lovely man. I don't think our wedding would have been as good without James. He was the best!

We cannot thank James enough for everything he did on our wedding day. It was simply amazing.
He tailored the whole day to our requests from the ceremony and drinks reception piano options to the evening DJ options.
Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special.
We have had so many compliments from guests who all enjoyed the music choices.

James was professional from start to finish. He created a beautiful ambience for our wedding at The Woodman Inn. He liaised with us and our celebrant to help make the day perfect. His vast music library made it easy to choose the right music for our day.
Thank you so much James!
