He has an extensive repertoire but was also happy to take on requests of music that meant a lot to us.

A brilliant pianist and a genuinely lovely guy!read more

Booking Ben for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. From the get go, he was so professional and had... such a warm personality. We had a lovely zoom call to chat ideas and we instantly knew we had to book him when he played Harry Potter us 😏 He played beautifully during our wedding breakfast, and everyone loved singing along to Edelweiss in memory of my grandma. We just wish he could play to us every day!! Thankyou so much Ben, couldn't recommend you enough!! Loretta and Jo xxxread more

Ben was fantastic and played beautifully at our October wedding! Initially we hadn't considered a pianist for the day,... and having done so a fair way through the planning process, we were worried it wouldn't come together. Luckily, Ben was not only available on our date, but was approachable, flexible and friendly! He had such a great repertoire and arranged a call with us to discuss our music choices to help us merge musicals, 90s bangers and rat pack swing classics and toe tappers all seamlessly into our day.Ben was super cool, working with the flow of the day and the venue whilst delivering an outstanding performance. His playing totally elevated the whole experience and we had loads of complements from guest and venue staff alike.Ben is super talented, friendly and flexible and we would highly recommend him to any bride and grooms to be! Thank you so much Ben!read more

Benjamin performed at our wedding back in November 2021. All I can say is WOW! Really impressive and such an amazing... talent. Made the ceremony extra special and memorable. I could not imagine the day without the beautiful sound of the piano. Also, worked with one of my wife’s bridesmaids to do a duet, which was extra special. Would highly recommend for any event.read more

It really is such a special memory from our day.We can’t recommend Ben highly enough! He went out of his way to make the day feel special and we received lots of positive feedback from our guests. Thanks again!read more

We are so delighted we found Benjamin to be our wedding pianist in May 2021. We really enjoyed meeting him over a video... call before the big day, during which he was happy to play tasters of a wide selection of songs & helped us to decide on our ceremony music. He is incredibly talented & has a massive repertoire to suit our very different tastes! He was very accommodating & completely put us at ease in all communications. Our wedding guests loved him. Highly recommend!read more
