One more song!

Mark made our wedding day at Eaves Hall unforgettable with his incredible talent and non-stop entertainment. He played gorgeous instrumental piano tracks throughout the ceremony, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and sophisticated. Mark played the guitar and set a wonderful, lively mood for our drinks reception. He turned dinner into a party, getting everyone up and dancing for the final course. The guests loved him so much that everyone chanted "one more song" at the end of the meal. We can’t recommend Mark enough. Thank you so much.

Mark the piano guy at Eaves hall

Mark the piano guy played at our wedding at Eaves Hall in February. We couldn’t have made a better choice for music and entertainment for all our guests! Mark played our choice of music to welcome guests into the ceremony, he played and sang my entrance song which was beautiful! We asked Mark to play his guitar during the welcome drinks to which we had so many comments from our family and friends saying how good he was! Mark was very professional, he organised meetings with us to fit around our busy schedules to discuss our choices and always answered last minute questions in the busy run up to the day….this so so helpful during the stressful time! I knew we were in good hands and he really delivered on the day! Mark sang through our wedding breakfast and really got everyone in the party mood at the end of the meal! He even learnt several songs at our request! Would highly recommend Mark the piano guy, he was amazing!

Best wedding ever

Where do we even start… Mark absolutely blew us away and made our wedding day so incredibly special.

My now husband and I first saw Mark perform back in 2020 in Manchester at one of his Piano Jam events. We watched him turn an almost empty bar into a packed venue within minutes, and we both said there and then, “If we ever got married, we had to have Mark play.” Six years later, he was part of our wedding day, and it was everything we’d hoped for and more.

As our guests were arriving, Mark played Everytime by Britney Spears on the piano. It created the most beautiful atmosphere and set the perfect tone for the ceremony.

I’m a huge fan of The Weeknd, so I asked if he could play a piano version of Blinding Lights for my bridal entrance. It wasn’t a song he’d played before, but he learnt it especially for us, and honestly, it was one of the most magical moments of the entire day. The second I heard those first few notes, my emotions completely took over. Walking down the aisle to that song was something I’ll never forget, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

After the ceremony, Mark entertained our guests during the drinks reception, playing guitar while everyone enjoyed canapés. He created such a lovely atmosphere, and everyone commented on not only how talented he is on the piano, but what an incredible singer and musician he is too.

Then came the wedding breakfast… and of course, we had to make our entrance as Mr & Mrs Jones to Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! by ABBA before heading off on our honeymoon to Santorini! It was such a fun moment and felt even more special with Mark singing and playing it live.

Throughout the wedding breakfast, he kept the atmosphere buzzing. Every song was better than the last, and my bridesmaids and I could barely stay in our seats before the rest of the room soon joined in! He knows exactly how to read a room and create the perfect atmosphere.

One of the most touching moments of the day came when Mark played The Boys Are Back in Town in memory of my dad, who sadly couldn’t be with us. As soon as the song started, my mum ran straight over to him with the biggest smile on her face. It was such a special moment that we’ll cherish forever, and we’re so grateful to Mark for making it happen.

We genuinely cannot recommend Mark highly enough. From the moment our guests arrived until the very end of the wedding breakfast, he exceeded every expectation. Entertainment really does make a wedding, and Mark went above and beyond to make ours unforgettable.

Thank you so much, Mark. You gave us memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.

Mr & Mrs Jones 🤍

The Best Person for a Wedding!!!

Mark was absolutely the best choice for our wedding musician. He was lively, entertaining and the guests absolutely loved him!!!

Our first meeting was on a video call where we discussed the music for the day and he was so accommodating. He made some really good suggestions for the music for the guest arrival and it was just so easy working with him.

He played a large repertoire of music from all different genres, and even learnt a new song for us, just for our wedding!!!

Mark is not only a talented pianist but also a fabulous guitarist. During the drinks reception Mark broke out his guitar and mingled with the guests, playing amazing tunes and taking guest requests.

During our wedding breakfast he played a vast variety of music, all which set the tone for the day and songs everyone loved.

If you’re looking for something that little bit special then Mark is your guy. He is truly professional but he’s also just a really great guy.

I absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark to any couples for their wedding.

Thank you so much for making our day so much more special - it wouldn’t have been the same without you!!!

Fantastic entertainment!

We chose Mark the Piano Guy to entertain our guests at our wedding. From start to finish he was fantastic, had guests singing along to every song! He played a beautiful piece of music for my aisle song and great songs throughout the ceremony. After the ceremony he changed to Mark the Guitar guy and entertained everyone during the drinks reception - I believe there was a big group sing along at one point! He then went back to the piano during our wedding breakfast which created a great atmosphere to transition in to the night party! Great communication with him from the day of booking to the week before the wedding, listened to what we wanted and didn't want. Everyone commented on how great he was! Thanks Mark for making the day more fun!! Highly recommend to anyone!

Thank you
The new Mr and Mrs Bell 💕

Mark the piano man amazing 🥰

We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment for our wedding breakfast than Mark the Piano Guy. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish and created such a fantastic atmosphere for all of our guests. His music was brilliant and perfectly suited the occasion, making the whole room feel warm, fun and full of energy.

Just brilliant!!

We found Mark at a supplier open day at Heaton House Farm, and we’re so glad that we did. Mark is an incredibly lovely person and it was wonderful to have him as part of our special day. He is a fantastic pianist and singer and it was so nice to have live music playing us in to the ceremony room, during our register signing and then back down the aisle as wife & wife. There is just something about live piano music, it is so emotive and set the mood just as we wanted. We had chosen some music that Mark didn’t have in his repertoire but he took the time to learn it before the wedding which we felt was remarkable. It meant that we could have the music that meant the most to us.
Mark entertained the guests during the drinks reception and even took requests. Everybody has remarked on how fabulous Mark was.
We were sorry when Mark had to leave us and would highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about booking him in the future.
Thank you for being with us on our special day Mark and helping to make it such a memorable day for us, and all our family and friends.

100% reccomend

Cant praise Mark enough.
Went to a wedding faire just to have a nosey walked past mark playing the piano and we were blown away, we booked him that same day.
He kept us all entered while waiting for the bridal party, when we were eating and right up to the first dance, from the grandparents to the young children, no request was an issue, he even got people napkin waving. Kindly he even let my now husband use his piano. He learned a new song for our first dance, which he picked up immediately.
Everyone since the wedding everyone has remarked on how good, entertaining and versatile he was.
Would 100% recommend and use again.
Mr and Mrs Holt. The second ones.

Worth every penny

Mark recently played at our wedding. His piano playing was perfect and really set the tone for the day. Having a live pianist, especially for the ceremony really adds a lot to the day - it really is worth it.

He played beautifully all the songs we asked and even learnt a couple more for us. He was able to play modern music with a classic piano twist according to his interpretation as well as classic piano. As requested, he sang us out of the ceremony room which lifted the whole energy.

Thank you, Mark

The Villa Wrea Green 27.06.25

Mark played the piano at our Wedding Ceremony & he was absolutely amazing! As I was also having a recording from my daughter play before she walked down the aisle Mark was able to fit this in perfect & even managed to edit it for me (trying to get a 2 year old to say something without lots of pauses is hard😂). He did an amazing job & made the ceremony perfect! Would 1000% recommend Mark, thank you again!

Wedding Music

Mark kindly played at our wedding on 24th August 2025 and he was truly incredible. We had a face to face call prior to discuss our wishes and preferences and nothing was too much trouble. His knowledge of music, both classical and pop is amazing.
On the day Mark played through our ceremony and the wedding breakfast and it was just magical, it was pitched perfectly for every moment. His piano skills are second to none. As well as being an amazing musician, Mark is just the loveliest person. We can’t recommend him highly enough and look forward to having the opportunity to meet again.
