"Chris and I would like to say a massive THANK YOU. Our wedding would not have been the same without your beautifully playing the piano for our wedding ceremony. When we first decided we would like piano music for our ceremony..... that was as far as we got.....We had absolutely no idea of what kind of music would be right for our day! When Paul visited our house for our first consultation he helped us beyond what we expected..... to the point I actually cried (happy tears) when he played an idea of music to walk down the aisle to. It was just perfect. Paul plays the piano wonderfully, he is so helpful, with a wide repertoire of music, a thoroughly lovely man, always available to run ideas past and excellent value!
Thank you SO much Paul for contributing to our special day".

I heard Paul playing at a wedding fayre at the Victoria Hotel, Chadderton. I then booked him to play at our wedding, Paul took the time to come to our house and go through the choice of songs for our ceremony,one of which was "Shoulder to Shoulder" by Rebecca Ferguson which was an extremely difficult piece to locate anywhere. He took rhe time to learn it note by note by listening to the record which went up and above any expectations that we had.On our special day Paul arrived early to set up and to our surprise brought along a white piano with him.He was smartly dressed and is an extremely lovely gentleman.Our guests commented on how good a pianist he is. We noticed he also plays the saxophone from one of our song choices during the ceremony. Paul is an extremely talented musician, all round nice person and we would thoroughly recommend him to anybody.

My husband and I would just like to thank Paul for his wonderful touch to such a perfect wedding day.
We first met Paul at a wedding fayre and found him to be so lovely and very easy to talk to.
He is also very talented!
As our wedding drew close Paul met with us again; he was really helpful in assisting us picking our music.
Everyone of our guests loved the piano and sax and our day was made extra special as Paul played
"You'll Never Walk Alone" a song very close to our hearts at the end of his set.
Once again thank you very much Paul , you were simply amazing!
Lots of love Stacey and Alex Hood x (Abbey House Hotel May 1st 2017).

We booked Paul for our wedding on the 20th May 2017 and it was the best decision we made.
Paul picked a perfect choice of songs to play on saxophone during welcome drinks as our guests arrived and on piano during our wedding breakfast.
The music really set the mood and made the day so much more special.
We couldn't have been happier with Paul and would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you so much for everything.

Me and my husband got married November 2017 and I decided I wanted a saxophonist at the last minute. Paul was very quick on replying to me with such short notice saying he was available for our special day!
Paul was very thorough with the details and times for the day. He arrived in plenty of time and played amazing music during our sit down meal. I requested some of my own songs which I wanted playing and he learnt them especially for us!
I was so overwhelmed with Paul’s talent and professionalism and he definitely made our wedding day special!
We had lovely comments from the guests saying how lovely it was to have him playing throughout the meal with also provided the most perfect atmosphere. I would choose Paul 100 times over, I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you again for your lovely music!

Me and my husband married on Thursday 29th March 2018 and we were lucky enough to have Paul play both the saxophone and the piano at our wedding reception at Inglewood Manor, Cheshire.Paul played the saxophone during the arrival drinks - which really got the party started! I had a few special song requests and Paul played them all, no trouble at all. We had piano during the wedding breakfast and the playlist was simply perfect - the music created a lovely atmosphere.I am so grateful that we booked with Paul as he is professional and a very talented musician - we had so many compliments from our guests on his music. Paul's performances added the extra special touch to our wedding day - so thank you Paul! We cannot recommend you enough! Thanks again.

Paul played at our wedding drinks reception at Hope Street Hotel Liverpool on the 4th December 2021 and played beautifully, it was so nice to have a musician playing whilst our guests were having drinks. We had some very nice comments from our guests on how good he was and it was a lovely little touch to our day. Paul we thank you again. Kate and Mark
lyI contacted Paul, who was highly recommended by the Wedding Cordinator at Hope Street Hotel, Liverpool.
Paul was most helpful when I contacted him and advised on how we could plan his performance so that everything worked on the night (It was my Dad's 65th surprise birthday). On the night, everything went smoothly, just as we'd planned and his performance was fantastic! All the guests thoroughly enjoyed Paul's playing and my Dad loved it. Thank you so much Paul. 26/12/21 J.Croll |
