CLIENTS…
We were delighted with Conor as our wedding musician. He was a pleasure to work with leading up to the big day and effortlessly collaborated with the singers. The ceremony music was amazing and memorable. Many guests complimented Conor’s playing during the reception also and were very impressed with his repertoire – he even took requests! We would highly recommend Conor as a wedding/event pianist.
We were thrilled with Conor, and the whole team who performed on our wedding day in September 2022. We would highly recommend Conor to anyone getting married, he was wonderful to work with while planning our wedding. Always prompt and professional, Conor provided excellent guidance throughout the process, from the selection of songs, to choosing the best instruments to accompany them, he organised all other musicians for us and on the day the performance was just fantastic!“
We chose Conor for our wedding ceremony and reception music after seeing him at other weddings. We knew he would do a great job and he did not disappoint! Conor is friendly, responsive, patient and very accommodating and worked really well with everyone else involved with the ceremony so it all came together beautifully. We were delighted and would highly recommend him.
Heather and Conor, Thank you so much for sharing your musical talents with us on our wedding day. You all received so many compliments and created such a gorgeous atmosphere for the ceremony.
Conor performed at our wedding and I was thrilled with what that added to the ceremony. We only had Conor, with no additional musicians nor singer, and didn’t regret it for a moment. His beautiful performance was both professional and personal. He was so easy to deal with, gave helpful suggestions and advice when needed in the run up to the wedding, and was happy to learn and perfect any pieces that we requested while we could also rely on those he’s familiar with already.”
Conor played the music for our church wedding ceremony and also our drinks reception and I cannot recommend him enough. He is a very talented professional musician and a pleasure to deal with. He played both classical and contemporary music for our ceremony which was beautiful. Also the music he played at our drinks reception was fabulous and really added to the party atmosphere. We had lots of compliments on the music at our wedding and I highly recommend Conor!
Conor really helped to make our day feel so special. We had some specific music pieces we wanted to play for the ceremony and Conor worked with us to make sure our requests could be played and that the timing was right. He was fantastic to work with and we felt really comfortable coming into the wedding that everything was in hand, even with an outdoor wedding! The ceremony music was beautiful and there were a lot of compliments from guests! We highly recommend Conor!
Conor played piano at our ceremony and reception drinks. He incorporated our song suggestions for our ceremony and the music was perfect for the occasion. His mix of songs at our reception drinks really added to the atmosphere and he blended in perfectly with the venue. Conor was flexible to play whatever we wanted while also mixing his experience. Conor was really easy to deal with and would have to no hesitation to recommend him to anyone looking for a pianist for any part of their wedding day.
Conor provided the music at our wedding ceremony recently, along with the very talented Kelli-Ann Masterson. To say that they were amazing would be an understatement. They helped to make our wedding unforgettable and magical. One of the most memorable musical moments was their rendition of The Prayer-one of my favourite ever songs, and we practically danced out of the church to Conor’s instrumental version of Beautiful Day. Thank you Conor!
Conor did such a wonderful job with the music for our wedding ceremony. He was very obliging with all of our ideas and requests and was great to brainstorm with! Our guests all commented (and still comment a year later) on how special the music at our ceremony was. Conor is extremely professional, punctual and a great musician, couldn’t recommend him highly enough!
Conor performed at our wedding on the 9th December 2023 and he was fantastic. From the beginning he guided us on when music would be played throughout the ceremony and gave suggestions of what songs, pieces worked well at certain points. All the guests mentioned the music when talking about the wedding and how it set the happy tone for the day. I could her the music from the wedding car outside the church as guests were entering and it was magic.
We were so thankful to find Conor to provide the soundtrack to our wedding day. From our first enquiry it was instantly apparent how much of a professional Conor is. While we had some ideas as to the pieces of music we wanted for the day, Conor gave careful consideration to the running order and made brilliant suggestions that we simple wouldn’t have thought of. One suggestion was the accompaniment of Kelli-Ann Masterson who was beyond incredible. The repertoire available on Conor’s website gave us a great indication into how they would complement each other ahead of our big day. The quality of musician was such an important aspect for us and Conor nailed it. It was flawless and he couldn’t have been easier to deal with. My only regret is that we didn’t find him sooner in our search.
