Thank you so much for your playing on Saturday. So many of our guests have commented on the music and the addition it brought to a magical day. It was brilliant to meet you and we cannot thank you enough. When we return from our honeymoon we will be writing recommendations and thanks wherever will accept it!

Richard is a brilliant pianist and highly professional. We really loved his jazzy repertoire, and felt so lucky to have Richard performing at our wedding.
