Callum, Wedding, Oxford, 10/8/19
What a wonderful pianist, just perfect. We booked Charlie at short notice to play at our wedding. He played through dinner and created the most wonderful atmosphere in the room. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed it and that his style was just perfect for the day. He understood exactly what we were looking for and it couldn't have been any better. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.
Lisa, Wedding, London, 31/8/19
Charlie is an amazing pianist! We booked Charlie for our wedding ceremony last week and couldn’t be happier. He is super talented, played everything we wanted and seems like a really great guy! I was only sad I didn’t get to hear him play while our guests were being seated. Thanks Charlie!
Catriona, Wedding, London, 2/8/19
Fantastic pianist for our wedding. Charlie played the piano during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. He was so professional and played all the songs we requested at the right times during the ceremony. Having a live music element really added to the atmosphere. All our guests commented on what a great pianist he was too! Thank you Charlie! Would book again definitely and highly recommend for other weddings!
Lauren, Wedding, Hertfordshire, 28/7/19
Fantastic pianist, he made our event extra special. Charlie was a wonderful pianist and a real gentleman, a pleasure to have at the event. All of the guests commented on just how magical he made the whole experience and brought another element to the event that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to create. I would strongly advise anyone to book Charlie for any type of show or event you are holding.
Jonathan, Corporate Event, London, 10/7/19
The greatest wedding pianist! Charlie is an amazing pianist and he played on the piano all the songs that we requested to be played on our wedding day. We had piano music on for two hours during the wedding breakfast. Having him play piano covers of popular pop and rock songs gave me the idea of organising a competition for my wedding guests: whoever guessed the title and artist of 10 songs played by Charlie on the piano had the chance to walk away with any flowers and candles from my wedding that they wanted to take.
Jason, Wedding, Hertfordshire, 15/6/19
Charlie really contributed to a wonderful day. We're really pleased we booked Charlie for our wedding on 1st June. Charlie played beautifully and we got comments from guests about how good he was. Charlie was also a pleasure to work with - he got in touch well in advance of the wedding, played all our ceremony song requests, and ran his sets seamlessly. Thank you Charlie!
Rebecca, Wedding, London, 1/6/19
Thank you so much! Great addition to the wedding. Charlie was amazing. Provided beautiful music for the wedding which unfortunately I missed most of because of all the couples photos! Just wish we could have had him longer! You were great and professional service throughout. Thank you
Rosie, Wedding, Kent, 28/5/19
A wedding day made more memorable by having him there. We are so pleased we chose Charlie to play at our wedding. He played during our meal and after a couple of wines people were up singing along to him playing . It made our day more special and the videos we have of people singing along to McFly and Queen are amazing . Thank you so much Charlie .
Laura, Wedding, Kent, 24/5/19
Charlie was SUPERB! A very gifted pianist. I would highly recommend Charlie, and would definitely book him again myself for an event. He played 2 x 1 hr set's for a group of 65 people during pre dinner drinks and dinner. He arrived as agreed, set up efficiently. Reconfirmed requirements agan. And was super flexible with playlist, but taking on a wish list of 65 songs only 30 mins before starting! Performance was fantastic, right volume for room over dinner and lovely feedback from guests. THANK YOU Charlie, you were great :)
Charlotte, Corporate Event, Berkshire, 30/1/19
Gorgeous music, and very friendly. Charlie played all the songs we requested, and was simply brilliant. It was the perfect music to be played for our reception, and he was smiling as he played. Extremely pleased he was able to be at our wedding, and would strongly recommend.
Andy, Wedding, Berkshire, 29/12/18
Brilliant work! THE one to book! Very versatile, seemlessly slipped into our wedding day and was very accommodating as we made changes up until the day! Would recommend to everyone! You can rely on charlie!!!
Kristian, Wedding, Herefordshire, 22/12/18
Brilliant - couldn’t be more pleased. Charlie played at our wedding, he was brilliant. The song choice was perfect and he played our personal songs and hymns beautifully. Would book Charlie again in a heartbeat. Also a very nice chap to deal with.
Kriss, Wedding, Oxford, 24/11/18
A pleasure to work with. Charlie's choice of music for our event was spot on, classic jazz and some modern gentle music playing in the back ground was just what we wanted. Charlie was on time, organized and a pleasure to work with.
Fiona, Corporate Event, 8/11/18
Absolutely amazing! Charlie performed 2 amazing sets at our wedding and was extremely accommodating, playing one set inside and another outside during our drinks reception. He even learnt one of our favourite bollywood songs and played it perfectly! Would not hesitate to recommend Charlie, he is amazing!
Laura, Wedding, Surrey, 29/9/18
Perfect! Charlie did everything we asked
Russell, Wedding, Hertfordshire, 7/9/18
Charlie played piano at our wedding reception, and did an amazing job - a perfect background soundtrack to the celebrations. He was prompt with his timings and dealt well with a lot of different requests from the guests. We were extremely pleased and have recommended him to everyone who asked after his details.
Alexander, Wedding, London, 6/9/18
Just brilliant - A very relaxed talented professional. Charlie just enhanced the moment and to be fair is excellent value. He couldn't have been easier to deal with and he was a pleasure to listen to. He has a diverse play list and he even agreed to play ELO Mr blue sky which wasn't on his list but had sentimental value to us.
Andrew, Wedding, London, 1/9/18
Charlie created a fantastic atmosphere. Charlie created just the right atmosphere to our wedding. He played in the garden at our reception venue and played the perfect background music that you could hear but that didn’t take the focus off of everything else that was going on. We would hire Charlie again
Nicky,Wedding, W.Sussex, 18/8/18
I just wanted to say a massive massive thank you! Your piano skills got so many amazing comments and compliments. They absolutely adored you and your sensational playing as much we did. And thank you so much for playing some of the La La Land tracks, that really meant a lot!
Sophie, Wedding, Essex, 11/8/18
An amazing performance! Charlie is incredibly talented and all of my family & friends were mesmerized by his amazing piano playing. I strongly recommend Charlie for any function as he is very flexible and open to any and all requests. I really hope to book him again for a work event as he is a true star and consummate professional.
Donna, Wedding, Essex, 28/7/18
Charlie was everything we hoped for and better. Charlie is an incredible pianist! We were so lucky to have him at our venue, all the guests loved it and it made the day! I would recommend charlie to anyone planning a wedding! He is extremely talneted! Thank you charlie
Hollie, Wedding, Hertfordshire, 2/6/18
Charlie created the ambience we were looking for at my recent wedding reception. Charlie played on our guests arrival, creating a fabulous vibe to our opening drinks for the bride and groom arrival. He also played a second time through our main meal. There is no doubt, that he lifted the vibe of the whole reception - focusing mainly on jazz as per our request. However, he has an impressive repetitore and could no doubt play any type of music you desire. Polite, friendly and well dressed - Charlie fitted well into our party.
Kathryn, Wedding, London, 25/5/18
Charlie exceeded my expectations a very very talented pianist. My daughter and her new hubby as well as many of the guests were blown away by his playing and variety of music! We would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
Jackie, Wedding, London, 14/3/15
I can play for however long needed up to a maximum of 5 hours for the day.
I'm completely self contained in that I bring a speaker for my keyboard, no lighting.
Yes
Roughly 2m x 2m minimum
Yes - if it's of popular or jazz style, if classical would need to confirm.
Depends on how long I play for usually 5/10 minutes every hour or so is good. If only booked for 2 hours I can play straight through.
