We were so lucky to have Brian arrange and perform the ceremony and drinks reception music for our wedding day! Not only is he a phenomenally talented musician; he is also incredibly creative, thoughtful and considerate in his approach. Music was such an important part of the day for us and Brian went the extra mile to learn all of our requests ... he even learned one of my original songs and played it for us as we made our entrance! We will never forget how special Brian made our ceremony and we will always be grateful to him for making our wedding ceremony music so unique to us. Brian also added such a classy touch to our drinks reception by arranging and performing his own version of the classics. He also made sure to include songs by artists that we both loved and performed a great mix of all genres! All of our guests were complimenting Brian and were simply blown away by his talent! Thank you Brian for everything – we could not recommend you enough!

Brian’s exceptional playing, arrangements and composition ensured that our wedding day was a truly special event. Brian was an absolute professional throughout the entire process, from suggesting repertoire to composing an instrumental piece to being willing to arrange practically anything that we wanted for the ensemble of musicians that we had hired. We couldn’t have had a more experienced and capable musician responsible for the music for our ceremony. We would not hesitate to recommend Brian. He is a fantastic musician and our experience could not have been better.

I cannot recommend Brian Hughes highly enough for any special occasion. His performance at my wedding was absolutely enchanting and added an unforgettable touch of elegance to the day. His talent and professionalism were evident throughout, and he effortlessly set the perfect ambience for the ceremony, particularly with a bespoke instrumental piece for the hand fasting segment. Guests couldn't stop raving about how his music elevated the entire experience. If you're looking for a pianist who will exceed your expectations and leave a lasting impression, look no further than Brian.
