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.

Órlaith and David

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!“

Treasa and Jeremy

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!
