Perfect Choice

What a wonderful choice we made choosing South Wales Pianist to play during our Wedding Ceremony and drinks reception.
Our original pianist, Laura, sadly became unavailable on the day but the wonderful Joseph stepped in and did not disappoint. He was perfect as was our choices of music absolutely setting the scene and atmosphere at our Wedding.
Thank you Joseph, Hannah and all your team.
Highly recommend.
