Maria was first class from start to finish. The music was beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for more. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to anyone. Thanks for making our day so special.

Maria was absolutely fantastic - we needed a musician very last minute for our wedding, and despite the time constraints and the fact that the music was new, Maria did an amazing job of providing just the music we had hoped for. The music added such a special and unique touch to our wedding: Maria played it beautifully and it will be a treasure to look back at our video footage in the future and hear this beautiful music again. We can't recommend her highly enough, and we are really grateful for what she contributed towards our day with her skill, kindness and courtesy. We will certainly recommend her to our friends in the future. Thank you, Maria! :)

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients often say they love the warmth and emotion in my playing, as well as the elegant atmosphere it creates. They also appreciate my ability to tailor the music to their event, making each performance personal and memorable.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed at a variety of venues, including concert halls, churches, outdoor settings, and intimate wedding venues. If you’d like to know if I’ve played at a specific venue or need advice on music for your location, feel free to ask!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I have a diverse range of performance experience across various events, making it difficult to pinpoint a single high-profile gig. My performances include weddings, corporate events, classical concerts, film music showcases, and even pop festivals.

Do you have different line-up options?

I primarily perform solo, but if you're interested in a duo, trio, or larger ensemble, I may be able to arrange that. Let me know what you have in mind, and we can discuss the options!

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

I always try my best to be as flexible as possible. If your timings change after booking, just let me know as soon as possible. I’ll do my best to accommodate any adjustments, depending on my availability.

How much time do you need to set up?

I only need about 10–15 minutes to set up and tune before performing.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes! You can choose the pieces from my set list to personalise the music for your event. Let me know your preferences, and I'll tailor the performance to suit your special day.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring all the equipment I need to perform. All I require is a chair without armrests.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Absolutely! If you have special requests, please let me know in advance so I have enough time to prepare and make sure the music sounds just right for your wedding.
