We booked George for our wedding in June 2023 and he was absolutely incredible. Both his singing and piano playing were exceptional, and we received so many comments from guests about how good he was. He played during our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. We gave quite a vague brief on general themes, but he read the room perfectly and played just the right songs at the right time. We requested a song for my wife to walk down the aisle to, which he learnt quickly and played beautifully. He arrived well ahead of time and was set up ahead of schedule, and brought request slips for guests to request songs. He is a very friendly guy and extremely easy to work with. Communication ahead of the day was quick and easy. Overall extremely happy with the decision to book George, and he will be first on our list for any events in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you, George!

Georges ability to go from loving ceremony songs to getting everyone on the dance floor was awesome. He played in a woodland space for us and made it magical and extra beautiful. He was super flexible on timings and chill about playing outside given the British weather. We’d seen him play a few times in Bath before and we knew he’d be amazing at the wedding and in the words of all our guests “George was great!”

We had George play at our wedding and honestly the best decision we made! George had everyone up and dancing, and read the crowd so well. So many of our guests had nice things to say about George, he really was the highlight of the day! We are so thankful George was part of our day, so talented and such a nice guy.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I will always do everything I can to accommodate changes of plan. If there are any other times or events that I need you to be aware of on the day, I will certainly make you aware in advance.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

I will be more than happy to use my PA system to play a playlist set in advance for no extra cost.

As long as the piano is in tune and the venue is happy for me to use it, absolutely!

The set is 100% designed by you. I do like to offer my database set list for people to use as inspiration and can also offer expertise as to what works best!

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

My Roland electric piano has been my go to companion for the stage for 5 years now.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Absolutely. Please ensure to get any specific requests in around 6 weeks before the big day!
