Brian Perkins

“Brian was amazing for us on our wedding day and to have his considered professional judgement was a huge factor in removing an element of stress on the day. Both me & my wife were a little on the fence about having live music for our ceremony & drinks reception, however that changed. Two and half weeks prior, my younger sister got married and she had a harp player and it added so much to the occasion. We wanted something more fitting to both of us and had already had long arguments / discussions about our non-live music playlist over long evening meals. When we approached Brian about 10-12 days out and had a conference call with him, he was so understanding about the mood we were after and was very obliging about two specific tracks we wanted for during the key part of the ceremony. Neither of these tracks were part of his repertoire but he was prepared to learn them specially and report back how they worked. He kindly did this over a weekend and gave us the reassurance and confidence they would work, and indeed they did. We had the complication of hoping for the best but expecting the worst, weather wise on the day. A huge thing, given that we both really wanted to have the ceremony outside. It was touch and go but it all worked so beautifully and I cannot believe how much Brian’s playing lifted things and our spirits. Such a special gathering and intimate one, given we had less than 25 guests. Brian was also such a gent and adaptable, when the heavens did open and we had our drinks reception inside as a result. He knew exactly what to play throughout the course of this part of the day and again, it added so much and helped everyone relax yet further (for me the most stressful part of the day was over). We really can’t recommend Brian enough and will always remember what he & his playing brought to our wedding day.”

Hi Brian. Thank you so much for your beautiful playing at Mark’s funeral yesterday. It was very well received by all present, especially Mark’s family. Thanks again Richard
