The best wedding entertainment around!

Mark you made our day. I can honestly say that choosing you for our wedding entertainment was the best decision we made. We had so many of our guests commenting on how great you were. You created such a great atmosphere and you were so much fun. You played so many songs that we had requested and even learned a whole new song for my entrance. Such and amazing talent, and fantastic energy, we couldn’t recommend you enough!

Thank you

Excellent experience booking Mark, good communication, no problems at all.

From the moment I heard Mark "The Piano Guy" playing "The One" by Kodaline at Formby Hall's wedding day event I knew we had to have him playing at our wedding. The process of booking him was very easy, we chose the package that suited us for our day. Unfortunately we postponed our original wedding date due to Covid however rearranging it to the following year was not a problem at all with Mark. He played our ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast and it was perfect. He played all the songs that we chose for the ceremony and a great selection throughout the reception and wedding breakfast. All our family and friends commented on how good he was and the atmosphere was amazing. Fantastic memories we'll always treasure.

A fantastic talent, would recommend in a heartbeat!

My wife and I could not recommend mark highly enough! He played a fantastic set for our wedding through the reception and meal. All songs and artists we asked for were included and he even played songs off the cuff for our 2 year old daughter which she loved!
Mark played piano during our meal and, with the sun out, played his guitar during the reception so he could mingle with everyone. So many people who attended our wedding have commented to us afterwards just how good mark was. He is an amazing talent and someone that i would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat! Thankyou again Mark for helping to make our wedding day something me and my wife will never forgot!

Made our wedding day!!

We spent a long time looking for the perfect wedding music before we came across Marks page. Nothing was fitting the type of style we were looking for, after a few messages with mark we knew we had chosen the right guy for the job!

Mark was super easy to communicate with and came up with some great ideas for our day. We decided upon having both piano and guitar for different parts of the day. EVERYONE loved him, we have had feedback from every single guest we had on how amazing he was. Guests loved the piano as they walked into be seated for ceremony and were so shocked to then see him walking around the bar playing guitar and taking requests for songs to be sang while he played, the wedding breakfast was planned to perfection with the style of music by the end of our meal we were ready for the party to start with us all up dancing!

Honestly can’t recommend mark enough and wish we were doing our wedding all over again to have a reason to book you again!

We have worked hard over the last few years striving to give the absolute best to our brides and grooms. For me personally, doing 80 weddings solo per year can be hard work but each and every wedding is worth it and puts a smile on my face almost as big as the brides.

I would love to be part of your special day, to play you down the aisle or as you eat your first meal together as a married couple.

Happy wedding planning

Pianist/Wedding Singer/Director

After nearly 20 years of touring as an international musician in pianobars all over Europe I am so pleased to be able to "come home" and use what I have learned to "make the day" of so manby brides and grooms. Being part of the wedding industry has been very revealing to me. After i have sang the bride down the aisle, while i am sitting through the offical bit wairing to play agin, I find ot makes me reflect on my own life and my own marriage. In this respect every single wedding feels special to me and in turn I strive to make it special for my happy couples. With my massive repertoire of songs accrued over the years I am sure I can find something you and guests will love and remember for a long time. Let me know what that special tune is......
