Hi Stuart
Thank you again for playing at our Ceremony.
It was lovely to meet you on the day. A lot of our guests
commented how beautiful the piano music was - especially
given the venue.
Kind Regards
Laura & David (Bamburgh Castle Sept 2024)
I engaged Stuart for this event and just gave him a short brief.
Stuart managed his own choice of music to suit our mixed group of personalities and to suit the tempo of our event as it changed and progressed.
All present were hugely impressed by the result and by the atmosphere enhanced by Stuart’s talent, skill and music choice.
Can heartily recommend.
Kind regards,

Hi Stuart
I just wanted to send you a wee note to say thank you so much for your beautiful music for our wedding. It really couldn’t haven’t been better and thank you so much for being so accommodating to let my new brother in law and his wife play your piano which added a truly personal touch.

Hello Stuart,
I just wanted to share heart felt thanks with you for your role in our partnership party. You played so many great tunes and we really appreciated you learning some new ones for us. I thought your playing was sensitive and beautiful- thank you.
All the best, Elinor & David (Wedding Celebration, Stokesley July 2022)
Hi Stuart,
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your wonderful piano playing on our wedding day.
You played all of our requests so beautifully and the reception drinks music was perfect. A good mixture of classical and popular music.
Such a lovely day to be in the garden too! Many of our guests complimented your music throughout the day.
Wedding Day at Troldhaugen by Edvard Grieg was played perfectly as I walked down the aisle. Thank you so much! We will certainly recommend you to friends and family in the future.

Dear Stuart (its a long one !)
I wanted to thank you so much for playing so wonderfully on Monday. You were, quite simply, world class - and I am not prone to exaggeration! Everyone there - particularly the musicians - thought the music was perfect and they very much enjoyed your arrangements.
The young ones were especially impressed. Thank you for arriving early and being so organised about everything - a man after my own heart in that regard (!) - and it was good to know that you were really preparing well and doing your very best to make sure the event would be the success that it was.
It was so much easier for me to know everything was on track and you were a real joy to deal with. We even got the timings exactly right as the young ones disappeared spot on 4pm.
I felt carried along on a cloud of competence and it meant I simply needed to enjoy the music rather than worried about how it was going or the quality of the playing. So, well done you; top marks all round! We will come and see you play in the North East when we are on our travels.
We will recommend you to friends as far as we can, and will definitely be in touch for later parties and events in our household.
Warmest wishes

Hi Stuart,
David and I would like to thank you for playing some beautiful songs for our ceremony. You have created such a romantic feel with your music and we couldn’t have asked for anything better!
We will be recommending you to any of our friends who are getting married in the future! We’ll send some videos through once we get our wedding video!
Best wishes

Stuart you went above and beyond and no request was too big. It was simply beautiful and the music walking me down the aisle was so emotional for me (I did well to hold it together ha) ... you did it beautifully.
Thank you so much from us both

Good morning Stuart
Just wanted to say a realy big thankyou from Karen and myself for being part of making our day so very special
The music you provided was amazing. From the minute Karen and I walked in to St.Marys we could hear exquisite music playing. All of our guests commented on the music, and said how beautiful it sounded.
Thank you Stuart, both Karen and myself can honestly say if we require a musician for
any future events we know exactly who to ask.
AMAZING.
Thank you
Kind regards
