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.

Mark was fantastic at our wedding in August 2025. So helpful during the run up to the wedding. We had a fave time call and mark he was so amazing played us loads of songs on the piano and guitar and helped us choose the best songs that suited us and our big day.

Mark the Piano Man

Mark was absolutely amazing! Mark was at our wedding during the drinks reception, playing his guitar and getting all our guests singing along. It was such a lovely experience having all our guests socialising outside whilst Mark played. We then moved into the wedding breakfast, where Mark then played his piano. He had previously asked us which songs we would like playing. It was a lovely atmosphere and some guests even got up to dance during courses. I cannot recommend Mark enough! He was absolutely amazing and made our day so special.

Mark was incredible

From enquiring with Mark to the big day, he was absolutely incredible.
He arranged a videocall with us to discuss our preferences, he learnt songs that weren't on his list (sorry Mark, I hope you dont mind me saying this)!! Everything he played was perfect, he has an amazing voicie. He switched from piano to guitar fkr the drinks reception andade an effort to get all the guests involved. The songs he played throughout the day fit the mood perfectly. We really enjoyed having him on our special day. Such a lovely man and I really hope we get the pleasure of seeing him again

Simply the best

We met Mark at a Wedding Open Day at a venue we weren’t quite keen on but we absolutely loved Marks aura and the way him and his piano instantly brought joy and warmth to the room - we knew he was the one. Mark played our ceremony music and drinks reception and was everything we could have wished for - he brought us tears and also brought out the dance moves. Listened to everything we asked for and nothing was too much trouble for him. I’d highly recommend Mark as your singing piano man - don’t hang about waiting for the perfect piano man because you’re found him. Thank you Mark - Mr & Mrs Scott 💙

He made our wedding truly amazing!

We really don't know where to start, apart from Thank-You, Thank-You, Thank-You! You made our wedding into the dream day that we had always wished for but never dreamt we'd get - we cannot thank you or recommend you highly enough, Mark!

Music has always played such a big part in our relationship, that we knew we had to have live music playing a big part in our special day. From our first contact with Mark, we just knew that he would make it special - not only is he incredibly talented on the piano, guitar, and vocally, he's just a genuinely nice guy too.

I knew I wanted to walk down the aisle to Einaudi but my husband wanted a particular piece of music before that - Mark had never played it before but just effortlessly started playing it on our Zoom call. Just amazing!

We booked him for the ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast and he just truly made our day! He brought the atmosphere that we wanted and mingled with the guests on the guitar during the drinks. He then created the party atmosphere after the meal and before the speeches, that meant everyone was in the party mood for the evening reception!

He added so much to our day and truly made it! We're still pinching ourselves that we went to the best wedding we'd ever been to and it was ours! If I can give you one piece of advice for your wedding day, it's to book Mark! He's one talented guy!

Simply outstanding! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mark is amazingly talented and truly made our wedding day unforgettable. So many of our guests commented on how incredible he was—he brought something truly special to every part of the day. We had Mark play during the ceremony, throughout the photos and canapés, and during the wedding breakfast, and he absolutely blew us away.
Mark has such an incredible range, playing an array of music on piano and guitar that kept the atmosphere lively and full of joy throughout the day. We had a couple of zoom calls with Mark prior to the wedding and told him that our 10 tables were named after our favourite bands/singers, and Mark went the extra mile by performing songs from each one. It was such a unique touch, and it had guests on their feet before the evening party had even begun! People said it was the most fun they’d ever had at a wedding—singing, dancing, and celebrating well ahead of schedule.
If you’re considering a singing waiter or another form of entertainment, don’t bother—Mark is the whole package. His talent, energy, and charisma brought so much life to our day, and he's unbelievable value for money. Of all the things we spent money on for the wedding, Mark was without doubt one of the very best decisions we made.
Thank you, Mark—you really did play a magical and special part in our day. We couldn’t recommend you enough!

We have worked hard over the last few years striving to give the absolute best to our brides and grooms. For me personally, doing 80 weddings solo per year can be hard work but each and every wedding is worth it and puts a smile on my face almost as big as the brides.

I would love to be part of your special day, to play you down the aisle or as you eat your first meal together as a married couple.

Happy wedding planning

After nearly 20 years of touring as an international musician in pianobars all over Europe I am so pleased to be able to "come home" and use what I have learned to "make the day" of so manby brides and grooms. Being part of the wedding industry has been very revealing to me. After i have sang the bride down the aisle, while i am sitting through the offical bit wairing to play agin, I find ot makes me reflect on my own life and my own marriage. In this respect every single wedding feels special to me and in turn I strive to make it special for my happy couples. With my massive repertoire of songs accrued over the years I am sure I can find something you and guests will love and remember for a long time. Let me know what that special tune is......
