Anthony Thomas played our wedding on, and from our first contact via email, he was friendly and professional. He organised a video call to discuss our preferences on music before the wedding, which we appreciated. On the wedding day, he did an amazing job. Everyone was so complimentary about him and his music. He even learned a song for my bride to walk down the aisle. We had the pleasure of his piano from the isle, the drinks reception, right through to the wedding breakfast, at which point the father of the bride and sister of the bride went to thank him personally and discuss music. Hopefully, this is our one and only wedding, but my new wife and I wouldn't hesitate to book Anthony Thomas again for another event of ours. Highly recommended. Thank you so much for being part of our special day.
Anthony Thomas did an excellent job playing at our wedding. He played all our requests exceptionally and with personality. The whole process was very professional and seamless - highly recommend him for weddings in the area.
Anthony Thomas played during our recent wedding reception and enhanced the ambience perfectly. He enquired about our music preferences and tailored his playing to our choices. He also entertained our grandchildren before the main event with a selection of nursery rhymes! If you are looking for a reliable , accomplished pianist with a wide repertoire, we can recommend Anthony Thomas very highly !
From our first contact with Anthony to play the piano at our wedding ceremony, he couldn’t have been more helpful or professional. He learnt the bridal entrance music that we requested, and before and during the ceremony, his playing was wonderful! Many people commented on how special it made the ceremony.
