Wedding Client Ratings:
* David was very professional and played the piano beautifully in a way that made the wedding ceremony more memorable and joyful. I'll highly recommend him! - Temi (5/5)
* David was the pianist for my wedding ceremony as I walked down the aisle. And boy did he do a phenomenal job!!!!
The mashup for the three songs we gave him for the entrance music was played so beautifully well. And then the worship session, wow!!! He brought down the heavens and the atmosphere in the room was charged.
I couldn't fault anything at all.
* If you're looking for a pianist for your wedding or any events, look no further. David is your man! - Sadetu (5/5) Wedding in Surrey.
* David played at my brother’s wedding and I would highly recommend him. David is an incredible musician and was amazing to work with throughout, helping it be such a special day. - Jonathan (5/5), Wedding in Bromley.
* David was just sublime. He was really quick to respond before the event and came across super professional. He was a joy to have there and his artistry made the event. He played for almost two hours and every note was perfect. If you don’t already listen to his own pieces on Spotify then you really should. Whenever I can find an excuse to employ a pianist again, I certainly will be asking David if he’s free! Thank you so much. - Ally, Birthday Party.
* David truly made our day unique and memorable. As a musician myself, I was able to appreciate his creativity, originality and attention to detail, as his covers/versions of both secular and worship music embraced our day to perfection. Besides his playing, his laughter, joy and sense of humour brought calm to the chaos of our day and he was sociable and welcoming towards guests. I could not recommend him highly enough! (5/5) Josh, wedding in Oxford.
