Best wedding music ever!

We had the lovely Matt from Pianoccasions providing our wedding music throughout our day, from ceremony through to our first dance! He was absolutely incredible and all our guests loved him! His juke box feature for guests to request songs was a huge hit! All in all, it was the cherry on top to our perfect day! Thanks Matt! Mr & Mrs Busby x

Matt was absolutely incredible! He took the time to meet with us before our ceremony and allowed us to create a bespoke list of songs that meant the most to us and they couldn’t have been more perfectly played. He took requests during the day and created the most magical environment for our guests to enjoy. All of our guests commented on how wonderful he was - especially when we had to move our ceremony inside at literally the last minute thanks to the weather! You made our day beyond special and we couldn’t be more grateful to you! Thank you so much, Lucy and Joe x

Would highly recommend!
It was such a breath of fresh air organising the set with Matt. He was very accommodating, learning new songs to play, and working with constantly changing schedules.

All the guests were really engaged with the songs and joined in to sing along and requested more songs.
