James played during my church ceremony and my wedding breakfast last Friday and it was absolutely amazing! He's a wonderful person and mega talented! I knew he'd be good because his track record and reviews are insane 🔥 so when he had my date free I jumped at the chance. He played me into the church with a gorgeous Ludovico Einaudi song I Giorni and it was so emotional and perfectly timed! He also played a number of other beauties but the most meaningful was when he played us into the wedding breakfast to a song by Swedish House Mafia which was so special to my husband and his late father. James got it just right for us and our guests loved him. As other reviews say, he sets the atmosphere for your wedding day and it brings a touch of class to it which guests remember. James even had my little boy helping him play a couple of keys at one point 🥲 he's fantastic. Go and book him! -

We met James at an open day at the Fleece Countryside Inn. Originally we were set on a ceremony playlist, and then we heard James playing as we wandered around. We approached James and complemented how lovely his piano playing is. He showed us how he can play bespoke music as well as his chosen songs. We asked him to play my aisle song and the penny dropped seconds in, we had to get him booked!
As soon as I heard the piano music as I prepared to walk down the aisle with my mum, we both stared tearing up. Sam, my husband said how beautiful the music also was as our guests arrived.
We are so glad we booked James, he is a lovely and talented man who set the tone for the rest of our day with the ceremony music.
Thank you James. If you want a wonderful pianist, James is it! Xx -

James played piano for us throughout our wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast. (5/11/25).
He took the time to learn and entirely new song that we had asked for to walk down the isle to.
The music was beautiful, with a mixture of songs that all guests recognised and enjoyed, even including a little K-Pop Demon Hunters number for the children at our wedding!
James has a friendly and welcoming personality and everybody enjoyed him being there!
He made our day absolutely perfect!
Thank you James! 😊 -

James Hey Piano - just amazing!!
Myself and my husband would recommend James Hey Piano without any hesitation! We asked him to play songs that weren’t on his play list and he learnt them especially. He added a touch of class to our ceremony and wedding breakfast. James played a variety of music at our wedding breakfast from Oasis to Beyonce to music from Game of Thrones! All of which went down really well with our guests. When we are catching up with friends over a month after they are still making comment about how good he was.
Thank you James for being part of our big day and for making it so special.
Love Mr & Mrs Peake
PS, sorry we didn’t get any pictures of you so I’ve added some of us so you don’t forget us! Xx -

We were incredibly lucky to have James Hey Piano perform at our wedding, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very first email, James was professional, warm, and completely in tune (no pun intended!) with the kind of atmosphere we wanted to create.
They played during the ceremony and during reception drinks and their music truly elevated the entire experience. Their performance of our chosen processional song brought me to tears, it was heartfelt, beautifully paced, and flawlessly played. Throughout the event, the music was the perfect emotional backdrop without drawing focus from the moment.
Guests kept coming up to us all evening asking where we found such a talented musician. James also handled a few last-minute changes with total flexibility.
If you're looking for a pianist who brings both technical excellence and genuine emotion to their playing, look no further. Having him there made our day feel even more magical. -

We booked James originally just for our ceremony. After meeting him at a wedding open day at our venue, we walked away booking him for additional services to be there on our day longer... and he did not disappoint! Such a nice guy and so easy to get on with. Played beautifully and caught the attention of all our guests and even took on a couple of requests to make our day even more special. Thank you so much James for being a part of our day! -

James performed our ceremony music & wedding breakfast music last Saturday and from start to finish James was a pleasure to work with. He invited us to his home to go through music we liked and to see what best suited our wedding day vibe. He is so talented and can play so many different songs it’s unbelievable. Ultimately our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without him, he truly made it special. I would 100% recommend and we think he’s such a good value for money.
