Absolutely amazing!

We had the absolute pleasure of having James play at our wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. From the moment the first note played, we knew we had made the right choice.

James set the perfect tone for our ceremony and reception. The music was beautifully executed, with each piece played with such grace and emotion. Whether it was the romantic melodies during the ceremony or the more upbeat tunes during the drinks reception, every performance was spot on and tailored to our preferences.

Not only is James incredibly talented, but he is professional and an absolute joy to work with. James took the time to understand the kind of atmosphere we wanted to create and went above and beyond to deliver it. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much they enjoyed the music, and it truly added a magical touch to our special day.

We highly recommend James to anyone looking for a skilled and personable pianist for their event.

Thank you for making our wedding day special!

Highly Recommended

We had the pleasure of James playing at our wedding, from arrivals, through the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. We cannot recommend him enough. Of course he sounds fantastic, but he is engaging and friendly and elevates any event to the next level!

Amazing vocals! A must book!

Our only regret was we didn't book James to perform more! His vocals, song choice and atmosphere he created were fantastic! So many guests since our big day have commemt on what a fab voice James has. I would definitely consider booking James again if we were to need a singer and will 100% recommend him to anyone who asks.

Superb Singer & Pianist

James performed at our wedding on Saturday, all of our guests loved his performance. Prior to the wedding day we had arranged with James what kind of music we wanted and he more than delivered! James performed for 3 hours in total during our drinks reception and wedding breakfast and unbelievably did not take a break! We had arranged what first song James would perform once all of the guests had come out of the ceremony, when we came out he was also playing our exit music Canon by Pachebel that the harpist was playing in the ceremony room, a real special extra touch that we wasn't expecting. Having James perform really added to our day making it very special indeed! We cannot speak highly enough of him and would definitely recommend,

Thank you James

A must have for your wedding

James was amazing and we would highly recommend him. He did an absolute wonderful job with our chosen songs, especially as some were a little unusual. But they sounded wonderful and made the day all the more special and everyone of our guests complimented and asked after who the piano player (James) was.

Can’t recommend him enough

From start to finish James was amazing nothing was too much to ask from new songs for him which were all amazing to guest requests throughout the drinks reception. He is just amazing, a beautiful voice and pure talent, he will definitely be a thing to remember from our big day with strong compliments from all our family and friends through his time with us.

Incredible pianist

My husband and I met James at a wedding showcase at our venue. We were instantly blown away by his talent and after talking to James we knew straight away we wanted him to be a part of our big day. We booked James for arrival and ceremony. In the run up to our wedding we spoke with James about our song choices and was really helpful during this time. No request was too big, James learnt a few new songs to perform at our wedding.
It was lovely to have James play music for our guests arriving and he made our ceremony so very special. Our guests were very impressed by James and so many commented on how amazing he sounded.
James is such a lovely, smiley guy.
Thank you for being a part of our big day and making it so special!

James was so lovely, I met him at an open event at the venue last summer. I asked him to play a song very close to my heart and I sobbed.

James made our ceremony the warming, loving atmospheric beauty we wanted. All of our guests loved james and commented on the beautiful music he chose to sing for us. We’d love to have james again for other events we host.

Lizzie, August 2023 Bride

We met James at our wedding venue, at Middletons, York during a wedding fayre. We heard his music and assumed it was a track playing through the speakers. We were so delighted to find that this was James playing live with his piano in the corner with a big smile on his face! His talent is incredible, and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. Thank you for creating the most beautiful atmosphere for our small, intimate evening. It wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Outstanding - You must book James for your wedding

James was absolutely incredible! We had James play for us the night before our wedding with our nearest and dearest. Not only is he a brilliant performer but he was extremely attentive in the run up to the day, was so flexible to find the best place to perform on the day (we had terrible weather so had to move inside) and read the crowd perfectly while performing. He got completely involved - we had such good fun and it was the perfect way to start our wedding weekend. Couldn't recommend James more highly for any and all parts of your wedding.

Truly amazing

We booked James for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception, and he was truly amazing! All our guests loved James and he made our ceremony and drinks reception so special and created such an amazing atmosphere for all our guests. James even played some songs for the children to keep them entertained during the drinks reception. James was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and we would recommend James to anyone. Ellie and I are so glad that we booked James as he made our day just that little bit more special.
