Absolutely brilliant!

Cannot recommend Elliot enough. We had him for our ceremony, reception drinks and during our wedding breakfast. He made our day so much more special and we’re so happy we found him. Will definitely be having a date night or two somewhere that he’s playing soon. Thanks again!

Elliot brought the music magic to our wedding

It was a pleasure hiring Pop Up Piano and Elliot for our wedding. The process of dealing with him was simple, with clear and timely communication and a range of options to suit budget needs.

His bespoke songs he learnt for us were brilliant. And everyone loved the opportunity to request a song by QR code - would recommend.

On the day, he was immaculately dressed with a lovely demeanour and is a talented singer and pianist. I would also recommend the baby grand shell which added a touch of glamour to the day.

Thank you Elliot!

Excellent piano player

I highly recommend hiring Elliot for your wedding day. He is extremely talented and was the perfect entertainment for my special day. To have him play the piano during the ceremony and singing during the wedding breakfast was truly bliss. It was such a delight for Elliot to be part of the day.

The perfect wedding singer

Elliot was the perfect wedding singer - we were so happy that we chose him to be part of our day. The communication prior to the event was spot on, Elliot was professional, it was clear he had everything under control, but he was so friendly and easy to get on with too. The choice of songs was so extensive, and each one was performed brilliantly. He has such a beautiful voice. Elliot played the keyboard for first set and guitar for second, which was perfect for our post ceremony drinks reception. I would 100% recommend Elliot for any wedding or event - he is so talented, versatile, very professional, excellent value for money, and a great guy.

Magical music

We can’t recommend Elliott enough for what he added to our wedding day. It was truly magical having his music and singing in the background for us and our guests to enjoy. Elliott played a personal song requested for our ceremony which really did make the moment even more special (piano version of brides parents first dance) It really was a pleasure to have you part of our day and thank you for playing for so long throughout.
Leading up to the day you made us feel so at ease and full trust in your work.

Awesome pianist! Great performance!

Elliot was a fantastic addition to our afternoon wedding reception. He played throughout our drinks/canapes reception and kept guests entertained with a range of instrumental piano pieces. We added the grand piano shell to add that touch of elegance!

I can highly recommend Elliot - fully worth it!

Elliot was amazing!

I would highly, highly recommend Elliot and Pop up Piano. Elliot played at our wedding in September, he was brilliant from the moment we booked right up until the day, including learning a special piece for me to walk down the aisle to! All of our guests gave so many compliments for Elliot's playing during our drinks reception, it was a perfect mix of music and people really enjoyed being able to make requests for their favourite songs too. If you are thinking of booking, then you must! :)

His voice was amazing, couldn’t fault him. Everyone commented on how lovely it was and how it made the service extra special!

We would definitely recommend him to anyone! So easy to communicate with and he did thinks just the way we wanted!

Thank you again Elliot!

Elliot was absolutely brilliant playing at our wedding breakfast. The style of music was perfect to set the tone for the meal, the volume just right, and all of our guests loved being able to send through their song requests.

A dream come true

We had the pleasure to have Elliot singing in our wedding from ceremony until the end of the wedding breakfast. His professionalism and responsiveness was outstanding as all his performances. He supported us all the way until the wedding. He tailored one of my favourite songs that he sang beautifully on my way to the altar. He just made our day to be a day to remember for a very long time. Thank you very much Elliot. You made of our day to be just like a fairytale. Your music was absolutely stunning and perfect for our day. Everybody had a great time and I received lots of compliments for you. You truly are a 🌟. Thank you again for everything. I hope you had a great time as we all did.

Best choice we made for our wedding

We had the pleasure of Elliot play for us at our wedding. From start to finish it was an amazing experience. Elliot was such a friendly gentleman, with an impressive collection of songs to choose from and he was happy to learn new songs specifically for us!
Our only regret was not being around enough ( photographs etc) to hear more of it ourselves however all of our guests commented on how wonderfully he played and it was the icing on the cake for our wedding. If you're looking for talent and atmosphere for your big day ( or any other occasion) then look no further, this is the guy for you... he will not disappoint!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
