Tim played at our wedding and was brilliant. He played three sets - during the ceremony itself, during our drinks afterwards and then during dinner. He was so great, so professional and made our day so special. We can’t recommend Tim highly enough.

Tim was amazing playing piano at our wedding this week! He created the perfect atmosphere, and every piece was performed with such emotion. What made it even more special was that Tim learnt our favourite song especially for us. Tim was professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process, and so many of our guests commented on his playing. We would recommend Tim without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding pianist – he really helped make our day perfect. Thank you, Ed

Vocal Works Gospel Choir sang at my wedding ceremony in the South of France on 27th August 2018! They were absolutely incredible!!! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them, and still talk about them now. Every song was just amazing, from the songs that made the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, to the songs that had our guests dancing and singing along in the pews. They certainly brought something special to our day, and it will be one I’ll never forget. Thank You !!
