He has an extensive repertoire of songs from his list and also learnt six new songs we requested, two of which were mandarin songs and our guests particularly appreciated.

Mark is an exceptional musician, not only playing every song we asked for but learnt a song from scratch he had never heard before and had no music for and performed it flawlessly.
Do not hesitate in asking Mark to be at your special occasion. You will not regret it.
Thank you for making our day extra special.”

“Thank you Mark for playing our ceremony and wedding breakfast for our April 2023 wedding. Mark was very accommodating with not only our own personal song requests, but also those on the day from our friends and family.
The live music on the day really created a beautiful curated atmosphere in which we wanted to achieve. Mark even kindly supplied us with a microphone he had so that we could use it for our speeches.
Again, thank you so much, I would highly recommend!”

“We hired Mark to play piano at our wedding, and we are so glad we did. Mark was great throughout the whole process, he played all the songs we chose from his extensive repertoire, he also learnt a few songs for us by request.
When I chose the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to Mark sent me a couple of previews of him playing it which was a lovely touch.
On the day of the wedding Mark was fantastic, he is really talented. At one point my neice who is 5 went over to ask Mark if he knew how to play a song from The Little Mermaid that she loves, and he said yes and played it for her, even though we hadn’t requested it prior. This was a lovely part of our day.
Mark was professional, helpful and punctual throughout the process and we are so glad he was part of our special day. Would highly recommend Mark!”

He was absolutely incredible from start to finish and made our day so special. We had so many people say how amazing he was and we couldn’t agree more if we tried.
Mark was so professional from day one and so very helpful. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a pianist, you most definitely won’t be disappointed. Some of the best money spent for our big day and we can’t thank you enough!”

Mark sent me teaser tracks before we’d booked, and even learnt my two favourite songs on piano to make the day even more special.

“Mark played at our wedding on 1st October for our church ceremony and then drinks reception & wedding breakfast. So many of my guests have complimented on how great he was and I have to agree!
Mark was really approachable and helpful prior to the big day, he even went out of his way to learn a new song for us when I asked him only two weeks before the event!
All the music he played was exactly how I imagined it to be/sound and he contributed so much to our special day.
Mark facilitated my request for a lot of Disney songs for the church service on the organ and some guests came to me to say it actually brought tears to their eyes it was so good!
I would 100% recommend Mark to anybody looking for a musician for their wedding, professional, friendly and absolutely amazing at what he does!
Thank you so much for making our day perfect!”

“I found Mark online and couldn’t wait to book him for our reception drinks and ceremony for our special day. He was super easy to contact, the forms to fill out were easy and covered everything.
When I walked down the aisle and could hear him playing it was magical, he was able to play every request I had and I couldn’t have asked for more.
He made the reception drinks so fun, I asked that he play a mix of pop and Motown, and I loved everything that he played.
Thanks for being part of our special day Mark, would 110% recommend!”

“Mark played at our church ceremony on Saturday 10th September for our wedding.
From the moment I started talking to Mark last year and booking him for our special day he was amazing. Constant reassurance and forever sending me demos, listening to him blend my two walking down the aisle songs together, which he did perfectly.
Everyone complimented how amazing he was.
Thank you so much Mark, you are one very talented man!!
Lots of love, Charlotte and Stephen xxx”
